Who can understand the value of each word more than a singer? Hot pop star Jessica Simpson has come up with a unique arrangement with the makers of her new comedy film, ‘Employee of the Month’, which says she will charge $1,240 for every word in the film. According to In Touch weekly, the actress will be paid $1 million for the film in which her character will speak a total of 806 words. In addition, she will collect $267,000 as perk package.

The Film, directed by Greg Coolidge, is currently being shot in New Mexico. People magazine reported that Gov. Bill Richardson and his wife Barbara of New Mexico hosted a dinner for Simpson and her parents, Joe and Tina, on Thursday at the New Mexico governor’s mansion. Jessica’s costar, Dane Cook also joined in for the dinner.

Though Jessica’s character in the new comedy is not as sexed up as that of Daisy’s in ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’, she does appear in one scene clad in a bikini. Jessica, plays the role of a new hottie cashier in a Costco-like store who has two of her co-workers, played by Dax Shephard and Efren Ramirez, battling to win her affections.

Jessica’s co star Andy Dick has reportedly commented that the actress is getting a lot of attention on the sets, “Everyone is hitting on her right now.”
