Jessica Simpson is trying to persuade Britney Spears to join her for a new TV sitcom, according to U.S. reports.

The Dukes of Hazzard star has approached pop star Spears with the idea of teaming up for a buddy comedy like beloved series Laverne and Shirley, according to the Globe.

Both singers have toyed with comedy roles - Simpson starred in the films Major Movie Star, Blonde Ambition and Employee of the Month, and Spears won over critics when she played a ditzy secretary in U.S. sitcom How I Met Your Mother last year (08).

Britney seems genuinely interested in working with her

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".
