Jessica Simpson ready to be taken seriously

Jessica Simpson is ready to be taken seriously with her next film, "Blonde Ambition," reports MTV

"I don't want to sound conceited or brag or anything, but I really did do a good job," Simpson said shortly after the film wrapped. "I am so proud of myself."

"Blonde Ambition," due this summer, has been described as a remake of the '80s classic "Working Girl," which starred Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford and earned Griffith an Oscar nomination. But Simpson's version is less a remake and more a reimagining of the movie's theme. "It's basically about a young woman's journey into the corporate empire," producer Justin Berfield told MTV News. "She starts at the bottom and works her way to the top."

In other news, at John Mayer's after party at Stereo, the singer shared the spotlight with Jessica Simpson reports People.

Mayer and Simpson entered the club holding hands, with a bouncing Simpson pulling her beau along to the VIP area, where they settled in with his arm around her between bouts of talking and kissing.

one point while standing on top of the banquette, Mayer rocked to David Bowie's "Let's Dance." And when Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" came on, Simpson got up and danced, too.

Simpson, 26, and Mayer, 29, have been spotted out together for months, including stops in Miami, New York and Los Angeles, but as of yet have remained relatively mum about their relationship. Thought just last week, when asked about the romance, Mayer told Time Out New York, I don't think I ever denied it.
