Justin Timberlake Accepts Marine Ball Invitation
Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis will both be attending the Marine Corps Ball this year -- but not together.
Just days after Mila was asked out, via YouTube, to attend the annual Washington, D.C. event, a servicewoman followed suit and asked her "Friends with Benefits" co-star.
Justin was asked about his invitation at a press conference for the movie yesterday in, where he answered "I'll tell you what: I accept" -- joking that it was "not because she had all those beefcake military guys behind her to
intimidate me."
It wasn't a full 100% "Yes" though -- with JT stipulating "If my schedule works out to do it, I'd love to do it. It's an honor."
And while rumors were floating around that Mila would not be able to attend, she clarified yesterday, saying she'll be there and has no idea where the rumors started.

Justin's a cool guy. It is entirely reasonablefor him to check if he has any contractual obligations to be somewhere else. He has involvement in the Shriners's fundraisers, so the guy does give back, unlike some Hollywood types.
He's a first rate guy. Just one man's opinion.

Marine Sgt. Ray Lewis asks Betty White to the Marine Corps Ball. This is the third time a Marine has asked an actress to their yearly tradition called the Marine Corps Ball. The first was Sgt. Moore. the other was Corporal Kelsey De Santis. Lewis is an Afghanistan and Iraq veteran, a journalist and a Hip Hop artist (RSonic).

JT is a wuss! He basically pushed Mila into going by saying "Do it for your country" & now that its his turn he's already making excuses. If Mila is smart she'll cut him loose! My advice is not to get too close to your co-stars. You go to work & you go home. Less drama & problems like this.

It's a work party, no different than any other office. Marines, police, doctors, firemen, teachers, etc. All of these professions are jobs people voluntarily apply for, some more dangerous than others, for a paycheque.
