Former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson is excited by reports Jessica Simpson has been chosen to takeover her role as CJ Parker in the forthcoming movie version of the defunct TV show.

The pneumatic blonde is a huge fan of the Dukes Of Hazzard actress and suggests funnyman Will Ferrell takes David Hasselhoff's role as muscle-bound boss Mitch.

Anderson says, "Oh my goodness she sure could. Will Ferrell should play David Hasselhoff. That would be hot."
