MSNBC claims Major Movie Star, the latest screen effort from Jessica Simpson, is shaping up to be a massive flop. The film is reportedly preparing for the same straight-to-DVD relegated to Jess’ Blonde Ambition, which will hit Blockbuster next month.

“‘Major Movie Star’ isn’t financed by a big studio, it’s financed by [Papa Joe Productions], her father’s production company. He doesn’t have the kind of pull with Hollywood he needs save this film,” a source tells MSNBC, who hinted that Jessica’s daddy even tried to get “Major Movie Star” into the Sundance Film Festival. “Even Joe has realized it’s not worth funneling all this money into her acting projects. He decided when it comes to movies, he’s not going to spend another penny.”
