Jessica Simpson has hinted that she is considering giving up her singing career in favour of continuing her acting opportunities.

The Dukes of Hazzard star is still contracted to produce three discs for record company Sony, but has hinted that she may want to keep music as just a hobby.

She said: "Music will always be my passion, but I don’t have to do it professionally. It’s just not really about that for me anymore.

"I feel like I don’t have to do it as a career. I can just rest in it and just be."

The star is currently rumoured to be filming Employee of the Month, a comedy centering around two Costco employees battling out for the position of Employee of the month after learning that the store beauty will be dating the winner.
