Jessica Simpson Valued Acting Advice from Willie Nelson
Posted on July 12, 2007 at 10:45 am (PST)
Jessica Simpson was impressed by a thespian technique passed along to her by Willie Nelson when they were filming The Dukes of Hazzard.
She reportedly told Harper’s Bazaar:
"Willie Nelson taught me an amazing thing. He memorizes his lines by writing them as a song, and they become a melody to him."…
"In my music career, there have been moments of failure, and with acting, I haven’t had that yet. But music is opening up my heart and every emotion inside of me."
That sounds like great advice! When we think "skilled actor," we think "Willie Nelson."
Of course, the trick would be more helpful if Jess was smart enough to remember lyrics.
Sit tight, Princess. If you didn’t think Employee of the Month was a moment of failure as an actress, you’ve got a big ol’ acting bomb coming down the pike in Blonde Ambition. Congrats!

LMAO, she thinks she has been successful in acting? Too funny.
Dukes of Hazzard? Employee of the Month? Blonde Ambition?
She pissed me off doing that one, I love Working Girl, she did a take on it, which I am going to refuse to watch. In fact her next movie is trying to rip off Goldie Hawn’s Private Benjamin.
I hope she does not compare herself to Goldie!
I actually haven’t seen any of her movies. And I will not. But I have seen clips and commercials, it is enough to know she can’t act. Because we all know that on a clip or commercial, it is usually the best they have to offer.
Poor pitiful Chesitca.
