Jessica Simpson, rock act Disturbed and comedian Carlos Mencia have at least one thing in common: they will perform for U. S. troops in Kuwait next month, in a concert organized and to be broadcast live by MySpace.com.

Operation MySpace is taking Jessica Simpson to Kuwait on March 10, to perform for U. S. Armed Forces troops stationed there. The event will be broadcast live on the social networking site MySpace.com.

Rock bands Disturbed and Filter, pop act the Pussycat Dolls, comedian Carlos Mencia, and DJ Z-Trip will also take part, CNET News.com reports. Other acts are expected to be added to the bill. An abbreviated version of the concert is set to air April 12 on the cable network FX.

“It's truly an honor to perform for the troops,” Jessica Simpson said in a statement, as quoted by the Associated Press. “Through Operation MySpace, 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!”

A personal message on Simpson’s website, sweetkisses.net, sneaks in the note that she is “heading to Kuwait to do a show for the troops.” “Then back in the studio” she says, referring to the beginning of her message, where she tells fans she is working hard on her country record.

MySpace co-founder Tom Anderson said in a message from MySpace that troops stationed all over the world have been using MySpace for years now, “as a lifeline to communicate with their loved ones back home.”

Confessing that many of these troops have generously shared their “unique experiences” through messages on MySpace and that he is “thrilled to have the opportunity to thank them in person and bring along the entire MySpace community.”

Anderson and co-founder Anderson and Chris DeWolfe will host the event, according to CNET. The social network is collaborating with the Department of Defense’s Armed Forces Entertainment division and its America Supports You program to organize the event.
