Jessica Simpson won’t be headed for Southfork

Simpson may have a new beau, but it looks like she lost the “Lucy Ewing” role to 19 year old Katie Cassidy, daughter of ex-teen idol and actor/singer, David Cassidy.

Simpson was widely mentioned as the frontrunner for the part of Lucy Ewing in the big screen remake of “Dallas.”

According to US Weekly, “Click” star Katie Cassidy has landed the part. Cassidy is best-known for her role in “7th Heaven.”

“Dallas” also stars Jennifer Lopez, who allegedly did not want Simpson cast in the flick. “She’s hoping for a no-name actress [to play Lucy Ewing],” a source told Us Weekly back in May. “Jennifer didn’t want a diva on the set.”
