Justin Timberlake To Pen & Perform Ellen's Wedding Song 5/17/08
Justin Timberlake has offered to pen and perform a one-off song for
Ellen Degeneres and Portia De Rossi's wedding ceremony.
The comedienne-turned-chat show host went public with plans to wed her
longtime partner during a taping of her daily show, which aired on
Friday (16May08). The big announcement came a day after California's
same-sex marriage ban was overturned by Supreme Court judges, who
declared the original ruling was unconstitutional. And Timberlake was
among the first to congratulate the couple when he appeared on the show
minutes later.
Laughing off the suggestion that he should marry his girlfriend, Jessica
Biel - and make the event a double wedding, the SexyBack singer offered,
"No... but I'll sing at your wedding."
He insisted he was deadly serious and said he'd put words De Rossi and
DeGeneres wrote to music for the special ceremony, which thrilled the
host and her girlfriend, who was sitting in the audience.
He said, "You should have an original wedding song; I think it's only
fitting. "(Write down) everything you want to say to Portia and
everything you want to say to Ellen... and I'll put it to music and
it'll be amazing."
