Kristin Cavallari to Play Daisy Duke

Kristin Cavallari is being targetted to play Daisy Duke, the role popularized by Catherine Bach and later Jessica Simpson, in a “Dukes of Hazard” movie prequel, People reports.

First, former Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari was linked with Jessica Simpson’s ex-husband â€“ and now she’s being eyed for Simpson’s movie role.

Bill Gerber, the producer of last year’s The Dukes of Hazzard, tells PEOPLE in its new issue that he is working on a prequel to the movie that brought Simpson (and her rear view) film fame â€“ and he thinks Cavallari, 19, would fill out those Daisy Duke shorts quite nicely. “She’s at the top of the list,” he says. “I like her innocence and her beauty.”

Why not just stick with Simpson, 25? “It’s a prequel, like Batman (Begins),” he says. “We’re going for a whole new cast.”

While I’m sure Cavallari would fill Daisy Duke’s short shorts quite nicely, one wonders why anyone would go see a “Dukes” prequel? The first movie was bad enough. Indeed, I wouldn’t see it again if it had Jessica Simpson nude scenes. Well, maybe then. But only if it was just Jessica Simpson nude scenes.
