Jessica Simpson will sing for US troops.

The ‘With You’ singer will fly to Kuwait to entertain soldiers who are currently on duty in the Middle Eastern country. She said: “I am heading to Kuwait to do a show for the troops, then back in the studio. It’s truly an honour 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’s every girl’s dream!”

Her trip is being sponsored by 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 Disturbed and Filter.

Jessica is the latest in a long line of stars to perform for the armed services. She 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 US troops at a military base in Turkey. While they were there they signed autographs, chatted and posed for pictures with the soldiers in a bid to boost their morale.

Actress Kim Cattrall is begging her 18-year-old nephew not to sign up for service in Iraq – because her role in British wartime drama My Boy Jack has made her more aware of dangers in the battlefield. I understand Cattrall not wanting her nephew to enlist and go Iraq. There are American’s that favor or oppose the war in Iraq. A friend enlisted in the USMC with a desire to fight in battle knowing he could lose his life, but his plans got changed. I support the war and I’m proud that Cattrall’s nephew has that desire to go to the battlefield and fight for our country, but only Christ knows if this is meant for him. Cattrall’s nephew has to find out if the military will accept him due to his bad vision. First of all, this kid must be out of his mind. Fighting for America, Freedom, or the betterment of mankind are all worthy goals but Iraq doesn’t fit any of those.
