HOLLYWOOD - Jessica Simpson is set to take over Pamela Anderson's role in the long-awaited big screen version of beach TV show Baywatch.
The sexy singer is set to don the infamous red swimsuit adored by many fans of the popular lifeguard series when she plays CJ Parker, the role which launched Anderson to stardom.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Jessica really caught the eye in The Dukes of Hazzard film last summer. She was the unanimous choice for the Baywatch role.
"Jessica has all the assets to make Pammie's part her own."
Producers hope David Hasselhoff will agree to star in the film in his original role as Mitch Buchannon.
