Lets Get This Party Started
Jessica - "No Way" She's Bunking with Troops

Jessica Simpson's big concert for the troops in Kuwait is being touted as a gift for the men and women in uniform, but it's costing someone big bucks – hundreds of thousands of dollars.

What's more, reports MSNBC, any suggestion that she'll be sleeping in barracks with soldiers rather than in a hotel is hooey, according to a source. "Jessica doesn't sleep in tents or bunks the night before a concert," says the source. "There's no way [Papa] Joe [Simpson] will want The Pussycat Dolls ... to upstage his daughter."

As for the big bucks, MSNBC says that flying Jess and her entourage to the Middle East cost over $150k, and that Jess' stylists will run more than $20k ... per day. Her reps didn't comment on who's paying.

Jamie and K-Fed Work It Out on the Links?


Don't show Brit this pic: It looks like whatever might be going on in court between K-Fed and Brit, it hasn't kept K-Daddy and Brit-daddy Jamie from being buds outside of it.

Snaps are circulating today of Kevin and Jamie playing golf in Tarzana, Calif., over the weekend, with the guys looking duff-tacular in baggy shorts and shirts. Just last week, Britney's lawyers were grilling Kev on his lawyer's bills, and a judge said that Jamie could pay himself $2,500 per week as the conservator – out of Brit's cash.

Wonder who picked up the green fees?

16. Jessica is NOT worth the money they are paying to have her flown there and then for her stylist? No matter what they do to her she still looks terrible! What do people see in her. She is a never was! The only thing that made her anything was Nick Lachey. She thought she was somebody when she was with him and she thougt leaving him she would still be somebody, serves her right! He loved her, and she didn't deserve him!!!

17. our troops deserve better they don't need a pampered spoiled bed hopper thinking only of her self and not for the real reason she is suppose to be there. Tell her to stay home send some real talent who really cares about the troops and not them selves

18. Jessica is going to a war-torn area where there is wind-blown sand and bugs and flies. Suck it up. Put your hair in a pony tail and who cares about make up. It's too f'n hot for that crap.

19. 'Operation MySpace" is being sponsored by the guy who founded MySpace. He's giving back to the troops by subjecting them to Jessica's vocal stylings.

20. We are paying her to lip sync, paying her sylist $6,000/day, her make up artist $6,000/day, Ken Paves $10,000/day to do her ratty weave, and Papa Joe (amount unknown but he is getting paid). So how is this good for our country, when we pay for this WH*RE to prance around like a drunk 2 year old, yet our troops do not have all the body armor they need??? SHAME ON YOU SIMPSONS!!!

21. Our troops don't deserve this empty-headed bimbo. They should be treated to the Boss, and other TRUE artists, none of this corporate over-produced bubble gum crap.

I can't imagine anything more de-moralizing than being there, fighting for an ideal that you think America should be only to be entertained by the harsh reality of what america is becoming: Corporate-controled-crap-producing society.

We might as well send the troops spam during thanksgiving.

22. Jessica going to Kuwait is a joke! She is dire need of some good publicity right now, after the whole Tony Romo/Cowboys fans fiasco. Plus, she's got a country record coming out which she desperately needs to sell. (ha) Jessica is a joke, and this publicity trip is not going to change anyones mind about the fact that she is a no-talent, tabloid star and nothing else! I feel sorry for the troops listening to her warbling. Maybe she'll wear her daisy dukes to distract attention away from her voice!

23. Jessica Simpson is a freakin' c list celebrity as far as I am concerned. How dare her think that she is above our troops. Yeah she is going over there for some good publicity, not for the sake of our troops. She should have to stay in the barracks with the troops, so she can see how good she has it. She is pampered and spoiled, she is a wannabe diva. If she wants to stay in a hotel and pay her stylist 20k a day, she needs to foot the bill. Or better yet, let her 68 million dollar Quarterback pay for it, she's with him because of his contract anyway...

24. This is the message that we do NOT need to be sending to our society. That celebrities should be paid crazy amounts of money!!!! She is only going to be there a couple of days. Think about our men and women in uniform that have THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE, they make next to nothing. They have families and friends that pray for their safety every day, they don't ask for anything. And here she is, asking for more money than 6 troops make in a year. She doesn't deserve that money. Wake up America, pay the people that really make a difference!!! Not self obsorbed idiots who can't act or sing!

25. Why doesnt little Jessica just stay home. She has NO talent to begin with and Im sure there's alot more
repectable REAL artist that woulb be more than happy to entertain & SING (for real ) and yes even BUNK
with our wonderful Service Men and Woman. She should be ashamed of herself and her father too. Lets not
waste anymore time on this knitwit and her knitwit family.

26. Can we please please leave Jessica in Kuwait? Why does she need to come back? People are dying over there, and it could be the last thing they ever see-and they get Jessica Simpson as entertainment?...WTF is wrong here? Send over someone with talent...

27. You people owe Jess an apology for writing all those lies.
