Jessica Simpson wants to take "a college course in religion".

The 'Come On Over' singer has been inspired to explore her spiritual side after watching 2006 movie 'The Da Vinci Code', which claims Jesus married and fathered a child.

Jessica told Marie Claire magazine: "I've been contemplating taking a college course in religion. I love religion. I remember whenever the book 'The Da Vinci Code' came out, the Discovery Channel did this three-night piece on it that I recorded it and then watched eight times."

Jessica - who is divorced from 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey and is now dating American football player Tony Romo - isn't the only star considering going back to school.

'Harry Potter' actress Emma Watson has been seen visiting US universities, while Kate Bosworth - who deferred her offer of a place at America's prestigious Princeton University as a teenager - recently revealed she hasn't ruled out furthering her education in the future.

Jessica became famous for her innocent misunderstanding when she starred in MTV reality show 'Newlyweds' with Nick.

Her most memorable blunders included thinking tinned tuna brand Chicken of the Sea was actually chicken, and believing buffalo wings were made of buffalos instead of chicken.
