Pop star turned reality star turned film star, Jessica Simpson will be appearing in an episode of the Aaron Sorkin series, ‘Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip’ this November. ‘Studio 60’ is a drama series on NBC that centers on the production of a sketch comedy show similar to ‘Saturday Night Live’. Simpson will not be the first musical guest star on the show within a show. In previous episodes, Three Six Mafia and Sting have appeared. Simpson’s appearance on the show will come just in time for sweeps week, according to TV.com. The show could definitely use the ratings boost. The ratings dropped over thirty percent after the season premiere in mid-September. Live and Style Magazine stated that the part for Simpson was written especially for her. What the part entails other than playing the role of “musical guest” in the episode being produced remains to be seen. It’s too bad they aren’t having Ashlee Simpson on the show, we could see what it might look like behind the scenes when the wrong song is cued up and the musical guest gets exposed for lip synching.

Are they trying to get viewers or lose viewers by having her guest star?
