Jessica Simpson Scouts Singers at Sea

October 05, 2010 - Jessica Simpson visited U.S. servicemen aboard the USS Harry S. Truman last Friday to support the troops – and she was looking for a singing partner!

Simpson auditioned eight Truman Sailors and Marines for a chance to perform a duet with her at New York's Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting in November, according to a report on the Navy's website. The winner will also sing with Simpson on her upcoming Christmas album. The famous blonde spent her time aboard the ship signing autographs and enjoying meals with the crew.

"I've been on many USO trips," she said, according to a United States Navy report, "and I always enjoy sitting and talking with service members.

To be on board Truman has been a blessing. I've met so many amazing people, and everybody has been so welcoming and made me feel like I'm at home. I can't express enough how much I appreciate the sacrifices you make for our country."
