Jessica Simpson is in Kuwait entertaining the troops. The trip was touted by the Simpson publicity machine (aka
Papa Joe and his cell phone) as some kind of charity excursion that would feature Jessica roughing it, and even sleeping in a barracks.
If the idea of Jessica bunking in a tent sounds like a load of bullshit, it's because it is. According to sources, Jessica is shacking up in a nice clean hotel room like always. And of course she has her whole entourage with her, including
Ken Paves, who charges $10,000/day.
Jessica was not flown in via military transport either...she had a private plane that cost $150,000. It's still not clear who will be paying for all this by the way. Jessica's performance is supposed to be streaming on MySpace (it may already have happened for all I know or care), but MySpace is also apparently not picking up the tab.
Neither are Jessica or Papa Joe...in fact, Joe plans on making money off the deal, by taking pictures of Jess playing her one song (that's all she's scheduled to do) and peddling them to celeb rags. If Joe's taking the pics, you can be there will be plenty of close-up T&A shots.
