Britney Fit for Daisy Dukes' Shorts?

Don't tell Cooter about Britney Spears stepping into Daisy Duke's shorty shorts for a Dukes of Hazzard movie.


"It's a ludicrous idea," said Ben Jones, who played good ol' mechanic Cooter on the 1979-85 TV series, meaning no offense to the popster. "Nobody has ever worn Daisy Dukes as well as Daisy Duke."


Spears' name was floated as possible Daisy material in Thursday's Hollywood Reporter. The trade paper also noted Ashton Kutcher and Paul Walker (news) were "expressing their interest" in playing Daisy's General Lee-driving kin, with trucker-hat fan Kutcher presumably eyeing the role of Luke (the dark-haired Duke) and Walker hot for Bo (the fair-haired Duke). The movie's said to be in the script-writing stage at Warner Bros.


Reached for comment Thursday at Jones' Sperryville, Virginia, club and museum, Cooter's Place, the self-described Dukes historian said the way he sees it, Daisy Duke was, and is, Catherine Bach (news), just as John Schneider (news)'s Bo Duke, Tom Wopat (news)'s Luke Duke and he's, well, Cooter.

1. I have another idea

How about the Duke's long lost relative David Duke comes back to Hazzard County to restart the Klan.

[Ellen Forradalom]

2. And is hunted down by Uncle Duke

from Doonesbury.

3. Please, please don't bring this crap back. There are just some

memories that are just too ugly to relive. And the Duke family tale is one of them.

14. Are you serious?

4. The Dukes

The Dukes of Hazzard is one of the few aspects of Red state culture that I actually like. A good church going family fighting for the little guy against a corrupt local government, although Boss Hogg could have conceivably been a Democrat, as not many local elected officials in Georgia back then were Republican.

9. I believe Hollywood is in a "blue" state

5. Is this really...

...outside expectations for the present environment. Let's get all nostalgic and teary eyed about those Southern rebels and their devil-may-care attitude toward the law. What the hell WAS the plot of most of the Dukes of Hazard episodes? The boys jump over a crik, Boss Hogs patrol cruiser falls in (yet, amazingly, this small backwater rickshaw town can afford to replace the patrol cruisers again and again). Must be Sugarland Texas...

And the crew they mention as possible cast. Haha, oh man. Britney Spears as Daisy Duke, Ashton? Can you imagine the soundtrack? The bad jokes, the awful acting, the non-existant plot? Lord help us all and let this go straight to DVD...

6. originally,

the story was that the Duke family (uncle Jesse and presumably the Duke boys' father) were moonshiners, and that's how their acrimonious relations with the local law came about. That they were Southern rebels is coincidental. Maybe would've been more fitting to make them Pennsylvanians and have the show set during the Whiskey Rebellion, but horse and carriage jumping stunts are much more difficult to pull off, and there wouldn't have been that cool "Dixie" horn.

7. And Cathy Bach wouldn't have launched as many Woodies

in petticoats...

8. Wait a minute...

Petticoat? Does that mean she'd be bathing in the water tower with those other nekkid chicks?

[Syrinx]

10. Bobbie Jo was hot!

12. BettyLouThelmaLiz?

Up against the wall!

11. Come on baby, Kick them Daisies

I like how the guy who played Cooter doesn't even know Daisy Duke's real name.

13. I lived through it all with a Dukes-loving five year old

There was the Dukes of Hazard lunchbox.

And the Dukes of Hazard cardgame. (Kind of a ripoff of Uno, as I recall.)

And the Dukes of Hazard kiddie bike that we spent one Christmas Eve putting together.

And the Dukes of Hazard Matchbox cars.

And then his younger brother got into the act and was zooming Dukes of Hazard cars through the air before he turned two. Some of his first almost-sentences between two and two-and-a-half were "Paint. Orange. Dukes." And "Dukes night." And "Drop it. Dukes Car."

Then, at the end of 1984, both the now-six-year-old and the two-and-a-half-year-old got hooked on Gobots and Transformers instead, and there was no looking back. But I've got a lot of nostalgic memories tied up in the Dukes of Hazard. I'd hate to see that trashed.
