The 32-year-old singer/reality star/style maven will star in an NBC pilot, produced by Universal Television and Electus, inspired by her own life.

“We are thrilled to team up with the multi-talented Jessica Simpson to bring this new sitcom to life on NBC as she is truly a modern-day Lucy with incredible comedic chops,” said Ben Silverman, Founder and Chairman of Electus, said in a statement to Access Hollywood. “From running a fashion empire to wrangling her public image as a new mom, we see Jessica’s character approach a variety of ‘everyday’ circumstances that will get audiences laughing out loud.”

The “Fashion Star” star is looking forward to putting parts of her own life on the small screen.

In addition to her reality show, “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica” with ex Nick Lachey, Jessica appeared on the small screen in “That ‘70s Show” and in a guest spot on “Entourage.” Her big screen acting credits include 2005’s “The Dukes of Hazzard.”
