Simpson ready to bare all in film

Jessica Simpson is prepared to do a full-frontal nude scene in a new movie, reports claim.

The singer is rumoured to believe that she will be taken more seriously as an actress if she strips for the part.

A insider said: "Jessica is in the running for a role that, if she gets it, will put her right on the map in terms of acting.

"The only hitch is that the script requires a number of quite graphic scenes including a full-frontal nude scene."

The source added: “Jessica is so desperate to land the role and get the industry's respect that she's ready to go against her better judgement, and her family, by agreeing to bare all."
