Simpson to star in new reality TV show?

Jessica Simpson is in talks to star in a new reality TV show that will document the recording of her next LP.

The 27-year-old has been in the studio recording her upcoming country LP - and her father/manager Joe Simpson insists she is eager to share the process with Country Music Television (CMT) viewers.

He explains: "With Newlyweds, she let everyone into her world. Then she had to shut the world out.

"Now she can open it up again so people can see, here's a girl struggling with self-esteem and finding her way. Country music is about storytelling, after all."

But a representative for the star explains tells UsMagazine.com the project is "not for a reality show. Jessica is finishing her country album in Nashville. They're in talks with CMT for a special timed to air when the album is released, but there's no truth whatsoever to there being a reality show."

Simpson became a household name in 2003 after taking part in MTV's hit reality series 'Newlyweds: Nick And Jessica' with her then-husband, singer Nick Lachey. The pair divorced in 2006 after the fourth season of the programme aired.
