Jennifer Lopez to Perform for U.S. Troops

Pop star Jennifer Lopez is to perform at a concert for United States troops at an undisclosed military base overseas in the next few days, media reports said Tuesday.

Kid Rock and Ja Rule will join Lopez for the show, which will be part of a 90-minute holiday television special MTV is producing with the United Service Organization (USO). The show, called "For the Troops: An MTV/USO Special", will air January 1.

USO provides troops stationed overseas with celebrity entertainment, ranging from the Bob Hope specials that launched the tradition to rap star Coolio's concert this Thanksgiving.

"For the Troops: An MTV/USO Special" will include candid moments of the stars interacting with troops as well as interviews with servicemen and women about how their lives have changed over the past few months, MTV said in a statement.
