Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
MySpace is sending Jessica Simpson to Kuwait -- no, not for good (although ...), but for a concert for the troops stationed in Kuwait. She'll be on a bill with the likes of the Pussycat Dolls, Disturbed, Filter, DJ Z-Trip and, says the media release curled up in our in-box, "the comedic genius of Carlos Mencia." Not sure if this is a reward for the troops or some kind of a punishment, to be honest. But you can see for yourself on March 10, as if, when MySpace broadcasts the show "in high definition flash" right here, beginning at 1 p.m. Dallas time. Says Simpson, “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!”
In related news, Sony BMG reportedly ain't happy about all her trips, with and now without Cowboys QB Tony Romo, as she's supposed to be in Nashville making that country album. Look, she's serving her country, all right -- by not releasing a country album. That's everyone's dream! --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
