Jessica Worried About Carrying Blonde Ambition
Even though Jess seems to love her new dark hair, she had to go back to blonde (this time, a wig) to do some reshoots for Blonde Ambition in NY yesterday. Jessica may be feeling the pressure of her first starring role, but luckily she's been studying some comic greats and was even able to memorize all her lines this time around (well, mostly). Here's Jess on the experience:
- "There are so many Lucille Ball moments," Simpson said. "Dane Cook taught me how to do that; he used his body language a lot. And the women who do that, like Goldie Hawn or Meg Ryan, do that so well, and it just makes the comedy so much better. Jim Carrey is obviously the best at it; he does all the different faces. But I have so many different faces in this movie that I never knew I had before."
- The hardest thing about 'Blonde Ambition' was that I'm carrying the weight of the movie on my shoulders," she said. "I was in every shot, pretty much, and it was very time-consuming. You don't really understand until a week after you're done shooting, and you're like, 'Oh my gosh, I memorized all those lines! Wow!' "
From what we've seen the film is obviously going to be a little goofier than the original Working Girl, which earned Melanie Griffith an Oscar nomination. Now that Jess is winning back her fans with her more laid back personality and new love John Mayer, it will be interesting to see if this movie becomes a hit.
