It really is quite heart breaking, especially so close to Christmas. JESSICA SIMPSON's new film BLONDE AMBITION made less than USD $400 when it opened in eight Texas theatres on Friday. $400! That's less than it costs her to get her nails done. Poor mite.

The movie, which also stars fellow Texan Luke Wilson, was saved from going straight-to-DVD by film bosses at Nu Image and Millennium Films, who decided to give it a limited Christmas run. (They were obviously feeling charitable in the season-of-giving).

The executives were hoping the fact that both Simpson and Wilson are Texas natives would help give the film a boost, and possibly lead to more interest from cinema chains across America. Sadly, they were mistaken.

Let's work this out for a sec though... a cinema ticket costs about $15. So.... about 26 people/family members actually bothered to see the film. (That's actually quite embarrassing guys. I think more people downloaded a video of me eating a ham and pineapple pizza, when it was put on You Tube - ed)

The film will now be released on DVD in January, as expected.
