Would you watch a television sitcom starring Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears?

Jessica is hopeful that you would.

Rumor has it that Simpson has approached Spears with the idea that the two star in a sort of Lavern & Shirley style comedy. Spears is currently on tour and doesn’t have time to pursue the idea, but she hasn’t turned it down either.

A source says, “Britney seems genuinely interested in working with her. She’s said they’ll talk further when she finishes her Circus tour. And Jessica wants to prove to the world that she’s a talented, funny actress, not just some silly airhead.”

I admit, I would probably have to watch this if it actually materialized, but I don’t see it happening!
