Army Singers Cut From Simpson Special
By Wyatt Earp | October 27, 2010
Army fatigues aren’t festive enough for Jessica Simpson’s holiday special?
4Troops, a musical quartet made up of four former army soldiers, told “Fox and Friends” that they were set to perform “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” with Simpson on an October 14 taping before they were told that their song performance had been cut. Lauren Auslander, a spokeswoman for Simpson, told Fox via statement that the “song was cut due to time. Jessica was not even aware. She is wholeheartedly devoted to the troops … “
Auslander went on to say blame 4Troops’ wardrobe of choice, green fatigues, was not what producers wanted for the show, a stipulation of which 4Troops says they were never informed.
Simpson is still banned after she called Michelle Obama an “incredible woman,” but this story irks me, especially since the bimbo has been very pro-military in the past. Someone frakked up, and since it’s Jessica’s special, she has to take the blame.

What did they want? Fuchsia uniforms with fluffy pink berets?
Sorry Jessica Simpson may have huge Winnebagos but she has the IQ of a fly.
Never had any use for her…
My apologies to the flies out there.

Anyone who boinked Tony Romo is forever on my banned list.

Ferrell – They probably wanted santa outfits. Friggin’ ridiculous.
Bob – Yeah, good point. Of course, Tony won’t be boinking anyone for a while.

“Jessica was not even aware….”
The girl isn’t aware of anything, much less the song lyrics at her own concerts. Is this surprising to anyone?
Nice photo BTW, that’s what about ten years old? Last I looked, Jessica’s been very much into nutritional freedom.

Mrs. Crankipants – Hits are down this week, and I’m a hit whore. Thus, a decent, chesty pic for the vapid bimbo.

I guess they should have worn the desert cammies instead of the green ones. But it is for a winter time special so green is the color. This whole thing is a sad joke. But we are supposed to forget all about the wars and just focus on what the Obanga is doing for us.

No great loss. I wouldn’t watch one of her specials (or listen to any of her music) without a gun to my head. And even then I’d probably dare you to pull the trigger.
Ingineer66,
Desert cammies have been retired. They have one set for all environments now. It’s called the Army Combat Uniform (ACU). It has a digital pattern of lighter shades of green. Rumor has it that the Army’s looking to replace that one now too. Our tax dollars at work.

John D since my children are Marines, I was going by what they wear. After the Army copied their digital pattern now they don’t like it anymore and keep changing. Actually I kind of like the looks of the new Army all in one green and brown if it actually works as intended in theater. From my limited experience, the desert digital browns work really good.
And you are correct they seem to be spending plenty of money on research and developing new uniforms. What happened to old days of getting a new one every 20 years or so instead of new one every 3 years.

Ingineer66,
Yup, the Marines have two, which was the smart way to go, in my opinion. The idea of having one pattern to use in multiple environments is foolish.
I’m on the AF side of the house these days, and our new uniform is a tiger-stripe version of the Army’s ACU. On top of the camouflage issues, it’s uncomfortable as hell on hot days. Friends who’ve worn it in theater tell me it sucks. When I was over there in ’04, we had the DCUs, which were pretty comfy, all things considered.
I think this whole musical uniform game only serves to keep certain bureaucrats at the Pentagon gainfully employed. That’s not a good use of our tax dollars, especially when we’re at war on multiple fronts.

Looks like trooper Simpson has her parachute on backwards

Ingineer66 – You mean what “Jessica” can do for us!
John D – They should just go with the stormtrooper armor from Star Wars already.
Crusty – I think that’s her luscious, milk-fed cans.

Support our troops… yeah, right… I won’t be watching…

Old NFO – Pretty much what I expected from PBS. Here, have a tote bag.
