Jessica Simpson's new Boots video

On the heels (pun intended) of her "Take My Breath Away" and "Angels" covers, Jessica Simpson is remaking an older classic, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'."

According to the treatment, the video will open with Simpson working as a waitress at the Boar's Nest, where she accidentally incites a bar fight. Inspired by "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" and other musicals, the choreographed chaos happens around her, but never touches her or Willie Nelson, who sits at the bar. Eventually, a group of girls in Daisy Duke shorts enter and turn the brawl into a hoedown.

Meanwhile, footage of Simpson in a bikini, washing the General Lee, will be intercut with the bar scene.

Ratner, before moving on to direct the "Rush Hour" movies, as well as "Red Dragon" and "After the Sunset," was a prominent video director whose clients included D'Angelo and 98 Degrees, the former group of Simpson's husband, Nick Lachey. He most recently returned to videos with a pair for Mariah Carey.
