Jessica Simpson in “talks” to star in CMT special

Jessica SimpsonJessica Simpson might be returning to the small screen in yet another life chronicling TV show.

The singer/actress is reportedly in talks with CMT (Country Music Television) to star in a special tracking her life as she records her upcoming country album.

"We have had exploratory talks with Jessica's camp, but nothing has been confirmed or signed," a CMT rep has said.

Jessica's rep, however, insists the talks are "not for a reality show," telling American magazine Us Weekly, "Jessica is finishing her country album in Nashville. They’re in talks with CMT for a special timed to air when the album is released, but there’s no truth whatsoever to there being a reality show."

27-year-old Jessica - who is currently dating Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo - shot to fame on the MTV reality series Newlyweds, which chronicled her day-to-day married life with then-husband Nick Lachey.

In a recent interview, Jessica's father/manager, Joe Simpson, hinted a reality TV show may be in the pipeline. "With Newlyweds, she let everyone into her world," he told Entertainment Weekly.

"Then she had to shut the world out. Now she can open it up again so people can see, here's a girl struggling with self-esteem and finding her way. Country music is about storytelling, after all."
