"  It&amp;#039;s been 10(!) years since Jessica Simpson asked us the all important question: Is Chicken of the Sea really tuna, or is it just chicken? Now, she wants to do it again: Except this time, it won&amp;#039;t be a MTV reality show like Newlyweds\u2014it&amp;#039;ll be a scripted comedy on NBC based off her life. &amp;quot;I often find myself thinking that no one could ever make up the things that actually happen in my life,&amp;quot; she said while announcing the new show.  It&amp;#039;s worth pointing out that NBC has just greenlit a &amp;quot;presentation&amp;quot;\u2014it&amp;#039;s not quite a pilot, but could become one (and become a series) if the powers that be like it. But our question: Why?  Don&amp;#039;t get us wrong: We think Jessica is great, but why is she turning to acting now? She already has a billion-dollar fashion empire, a music career, and a growing family. Will a television show really help her brand? And, the biggest question of all: Can she act? We saw Dukes of Hazzard and didn&amp;#039;t have strong feelings about her acting chops either way. So...maybe that&amp;#039;s not a bad thing?
