J.T. Wants To Be Ellen's Wedding Singer
Pop singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake has brought "sexy back," made audiences laugh hysterically on "Saturday Night Live" and given the world another perspective of Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl.
For his next number, he's going to be a wedding singer.
The 27-year-old heartthrob told talk show host Ellen Degeneres that he'd like to write and sing a song for her wedding to her partner, actress Portia de Rossi.
His offer came during an interview on Friday's episode of "Ellen," shortly after Degeneres announced that she and de Rossi are planning to wed.

It all started when Degeneres and Timberlake were discussing his relationship with his girlfriend, actress Jessica Biel.
"We could have a double wedding," DeGeneres said. "We could do it together."
"I don't know about all that," Timberlake responded. "You know, I'll sing at your wedding."
She said she and de Rossi would give Timberlake their notebooks, so he can draw inspiration from their words. He suggested that he'd be their Bernie Taupin, referring to Elton John's co-writer.
"I will put it on music. It'll be amazing," Timberlake said.
Earlier in the interview, Degeneres couldn't resist poking a little fun at Timberlake's sex symbol status.
After thumbing through her In Touch magazine, DeGeneres showed a picture of Timberlake and Biel, with a caption calling them "the buffest couple."
"What does she do to work out? I know you work out all the time," Degeneres asked.
"She's a beast," Timberlake said as the audience roared with laughter. "I am very happy about it... She's wonder woman in the gym. She works out with me sometimes and kicks my butt."
"Well, y'all are a cute couple and you look happy," DeGeneres said.
"I am the happiest I have ever been, " Timberlake said.
