Simpson's wrong cue

Jessica Simpson accidentally attacked a man with a pool cue on the set of her new movie after mistaking him for a stuntman.

The pop babe, 25, who plays Daisy Duke in 'The Dukes of Hazzard', was required to break the cue by whipping it across a man's back repeatedly.

Unfortunately, the blonde started attacking the wrong person.

She revealed in a TV interview on the 'David Letterman Show': "I got to kick the poop out of somebody. I thought he was a stunt guy and the stick would break.

"I was like: 'Oh gosh, this is the last shot! I have to break it!' so I ended up losing my mind. I just started attacking him and he had welts all over his back.

"It finally broke. I kept hitting him until it did."

Meanwhile, the singer has credited her hit TV reality show with "making" her acting career.

The singer-turned-actress claims it was thanks to 'Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica' that she landed her first ever movie role.

She added: "It made my career. I was already an established singer, but this took me to the level I always wanted to be at."
