For Jessica Simpson, even a simple visit with troops aboard the USS Harry S. Truman was far from smooth sailing.

"She flew in on a helicopter and had three Red Bulls with no water," a source tells the new Us Weekly of her Oct. 1 visit to the Persian Gulf.
"Then she complained it was too hot out." (It was 97 degrees that day in nearby Doha, Qatar.)
From there, things got messy. After eating, the singer, 30, attempted to perform. "She only sang one song, then vomited," says the insider. See more pics of Jessica on the high seas.

Still, a source close to Simpson adds, "She was dehydrated and got sick before she performed -- and even got an IV. The doctor told her not to sing, but she did anyway."

Back in the States on Tuesday, Simpson Tweeted her thoughts on the trip: "Feel so humbled by the sacrifice the troops and their families make to keep us safe. I'm forever changed after this last week. Thank you!"
Tell Us What You Think
13This is how we honor our troops? Sending this cow to "sing"?
To Dena Watkins.......... and you had to comment on this..... why???? If you don't like her, stay the hell away loser
And we needed to know that she vomited...why?
Many entainers entertain the troops regularly. Wayne Newton is out there a lot, but does not cry it to the paps. He even takes messages from the troops, and calls their families personally. They don't brag about it. Talentless Jessica Simpson USES, I MEAN USES the sacred sacrifice of our sterling troops to further her pathetic career. She and her father are despicable!
you know I had the pleasure of escorting her when she came to the USS Theordore Roosevelt in 2001... and let me tell you from the moment she stepped foot on the ship until she left, she made a complete ass of herself. complaining how she had to have everything and when the plane broke down to take her off the ship, she also broke down and said that there was no way that she could be stuck on there on the ship... She was a total B#$CH the entire time, while Nick was out there with her and he was great. he would often say he was sorry for the way she acted.
Sorry, Bea. Aircraft carrier, battleship, whatever. People get sick on them all the time. They're trying to make Jessica look like a helpless, sickly little thing. That was all I was arguing with US about. Semantics aside, it was a cheap shot at her making it sound like she can't hack it or something.
another thing Jess had to fly to middle east some 15 hours then had to board a helicopter out to a waiting ship in the Arabian sea & US weekly says its a simple trip.. well lets just say she did this in less than a week & back home. US weekly knows crap. Simple trip my ass. US weekly needs to try it.
And so what?? Do u need to report that she wiped her a$$ when she went to the bathroom too?
Just another low hit by US weekly.. Its there job against Jessica. last time I checked many get sick on ship. No mention of the heat that day that before sun up it was well into the 90's already & no mention she had just flown 15 hours to get there. No mention of the reason for the trip in the first place to judge 8-9 sailors so they could sing with her at Rockafeller center for Xmas.. NO of course not.. What US weekly's issues with Jessica are who knows but someone is making it personal. She spent a couple days with these guys. US weekly is getting there info from not an exlusive source at all but just comments made on sites & using them. Go Jessica you tried & great effort.
And we needed to know this, why?
annalee, they were on an aircraft carrier. the US got rid of all battleships. some of them are floating museums now.
Good for her for visiting the troops. She does this a lot actually. So she got seasick. Happens to sailors, too, initially even if on a battleship.
Didn't know Jessica Simpson sang anyways, so the soliders didnt miss out on anything.
