Jessica Simpson Will Go To Kuwait

The singer/actress Jessica Simpson will travel to Kuwait to entertain the troops who are currently serving in the Middle East.

Jessica Simpson said: "I am going on Kuwait to make a show for the troops, and then back in the studio. "It's really an honor to perform for the troops. I get to serve my country by doing what I love to do in front of thousands of brave men in uniform. It is the dream of all girls! "

Jessica Simpson's trip is sponsored by the social networking site, MySpace, under the name Operation MySpace.

Other acts set to perform at the concert on March 10 include the Pussycat Dolls and rock bands Filter and Disturbed.

Jessica Simpson is the latest in a long line of stars to perform for the armed services.

It follows in the footsteps of Marilyn Monroe, Robin Williams, Mariah Carey and Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins.

In 2001, 'Ocean's Eleven' stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts and Andy Garcia visited American troops at a military base in Turkey.

While they were there, they signed autographs, chatted and posed for pictures with the soldiers in order to increase their moral.
