Mila Kunis is officially going to the Marine Corps Ball! After initially accepting, and then reportedly trying to hedge her way out of going, Mila Kunis has set the record straight about her acceptance of Marine Sgt. Scott Moore’s invitation to be his date for the November Marine Corps Ball in North Carolina.
Mila Kunis is a woman of her word. The actress shot down rumors on Thursday that she had backed out of attending the Marine Corps Ball with Sgt. Scott Moore in Greenville, N.C., on Nov. 18.
“Never did I say that I was not going,” Kunis told reporters at a Friends with Benefits media event. She went on to say the rumor was made up and “people believed it, unfortunately.”
Kunis accepted the invitation on Tuesday after Moore posted a YouTube video asking the actress to be his date as the result of a bet with a fellow Marine.
“I accepted an invitation and I’m staying true to my word,” she said. “I got permission to be released from work for the day, so I’m flying in and flying out.”

Good for her. And before another argument starts about whether she SHOULD have accepted an invitation in general from a Marine that she doesn’t know, let me just say this: for a movie star, the choice to go on this date is an absolute no-brainer. She gets great press, she gets to look sweet and wholesome and military-family-friendly, and she gets to spend the evening surrounded by heroic servicemen and servicewomen. There are very few starlets who wouldn’t give their eyeteeth for this bonanza of free, positive publicity. Why would she say “no”? Because it might be uncomfortable? Because no woman should be “forced” to go on a date with anyone? No one’s forcing her to do anything. She’s not Charlene Wittstock and these aren’t the Middle Ages. If she didn’t want to go, she doesn’t have to.
Do you want uncomfortable? Listen to Justin Timberlake accept his invitation from a female Marine… I want to punch him in the face about 10 seconds in.

You know what would be awesome…if the Marine who asked Justin out withdrew the invite because of his douchy attitude!
He was trying to be funny but his expression, tone, and the way he kept moving his arms back and forth pretty much ruined it. He looks so reluctant and so full of himself.
Mila looks incredible in that video. She is so pretty and sounds easygoing.
My god, Justin Timberlake is a narcissistic a-hole.
Justin Timberlake reminds me of the most popular kid in high school who never mentally leaves high school. When I was in my teens and early 20s his douchy attitude was kind of cute. He still has the same douchy attitude and flair that he had then, I’ve just outgrown it.
JT overacts every time he is in front of a camera
Looks like Betty White is next. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/17/marine-asks-betty-white-marine-corps-ball_n_901065.html
JT is so ignorant and dumb. I’ve disliked him since his N’Sync and Britney days and he’s proven himself to be one of the biggest douchebags in Hollywood. I just so wish he would go away, but he’s done a good job of hamming it up on SNL and making a career of being a lowbrow comedian.
OMG!
He is such a douche!!
She should withdraw her invite, I would!
Poor poor Charlene. Where is our tragic princess? I haven’t heard a press release from Albert in a few weeks, I’m wondering if he’s keeping her in some laboratory until she is fertiziled by some mad scientists.
PR MOVE

Only after 10 seconds in? I want to punch him in the face all the time.
Do not like her either. Something screams “fake” when I see/hear her in interviews.
Publicity. I think of all the men I would want to take me to my ball and Justin is not one of them. He is like stuck in his teens or something and is so arrogant. I hope Betty White goes. Now that would be hysterical.
Mila was on the Today Show this morning and said she was going on the date (in between all the ball jokes). However, she looked and sounded like crap. She must’ve had a rough night.
I have no doubt that he’ll behave at the Marine Corps Ball. That’s a buncha folks that won’t put up with his douchery LOL
I would like to see a celeb be asked to the ball on a gay date : )
Good on you Mila 🙂
Could they be more desperate for publicity for their shitty movie?
Justin Timberlake at a Marine Corps ball…this will be hilarious. One thing’s for sure, he will NOT be the hottest male in that room, not by a long shot. Douchey ex-boybander vs. Marines in dress blues? No contest. Maybe his gigantic ego will be taken down a peg when he’s surrounded by real men who actually do something meaningful for a living.
ca someone tell why Timberlake response is jerk like because i don’t get why
I do not even know the way I stopped up here, however I assumed this put up used to be great. I do not understand who you are but definitely you are going to a well-known blogger in case you are not already 😉 Cheers!

You know thus considerably with regards to this topic, produced me in my view believe it from numerous various angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be involved until it?s one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your personal stuffs nice. Always maintain it up!
