Pfeiffer wants to star in Grease

Michelle Pfeiffer is desperate to star in a remake of seventies movie musical 'Grease' - and she wants Jessica Simpson to play Sandy.

The actress is desperately embarrassed about her performance in the ill-fated 'Grease 2', and wants to erase all memory of it by making a new version of the original film.

Pfieffer is thrilled by reports Simpson is being touted to play prom queen Sandy Dumbrowski - and has her eye on the role of the comical Principal McGee.

She says: "It's a great idea, and I hear they would like to get Jessica Simpson for the role of Sandy. She would be good."

Pfeiffer adds of her own 'Grease' experience: "I hated that film (Grease 2) with a vengeance and could not believe how bad it was. At the time, was young and didn't know better... I hear it's a cult movie now."
