Jessica Simpson's acting career has been given a boost - her new co-star
in Blonde Ambition insists the pop star is one of the most professional
people she has even met on a film set.
Actress Rachael Leigh Cook admits she feared Simpson would be an
ill-prepared diva, surrounded by an entourage - but she was more than
pleasantly surprised.
The Josie & The Pussycats star tells online gossip columnist Marc
Malkin, "She was really sweet and cool. I was really taken by
surprise how reserved she is.
"She's really open about saying, `This is my first time having
more than 10 lines in a movie. I'm kind of new here.'
"She took the job really seriously. She wasn't out partying all
the time...
She would go home and be at work the next day."
And Leigh Cook was further impressed when she realized Simpson really
is the brains behind all her business endeavors.
She adds, "I said, `So, you have this clothing line, come on, is
that really you?' And she said, `Yeah, absolutely. When they first
manufactured this coat, the belt was too high, so I put it down because it
makes the line look better.'
She's really involved, which I was truthfully surprised by."
