Singer Jessica Simpson is in talks to star in a new reality TV show that will document the recording of her next LP.

The 27-year-old has been in the studio recording her upcoming country LP - and her father/manager Joe Simpson insists she is eager to share the process with Country Music Television (CMT) viewers.

He explains, "With Newlyweds, she let everyone into her world. 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."

But a representative for the star explains tells UsMagazine.com the project is "not for a reality show. 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."

Simpson became a household name in 2003 after taking part in MTV's hit reality series Newlyweds: Nick And Jessica with her then-husband, singer Nick Lachey. The pair divorced in 2006 after the fourth season of the programme aired.
