Jessica Simpson on troop duty

Jessica Simpson will join rock act Disturbed and comedian Carlos Mencia in Kuwait during a concert for US troops next month. The event, to be held March 10, is set to be broadcast live on the social networking site MySpace.com.

"It's truly an honour to perform for the troops," Simpson said. "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!"

Other acts are expected to be added to the bill, which also includes Filter and DJ Z-Trip.
