Oct 15 | Biel & Timberlake: Vote For Change!
On October 11, Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake made a rare appearance together at a Las Vegas rally for Barack Obama. Timberlake performed an off-the-cuff riff, singing “Vote in a Box,” a spoof of his infamous raunchy Saturday Night Live sketch. “This is not my usual stage — and I’m a little nervous. This is the first time in my life that I am endorsing a political candidate. I’m not here as a musician or an actor or that guy that writes songs. I’m not here as a Democrat or a Republican. I’m here as an American. I’m not here to tell you what to think but I urge you to think. I’m supporting Barack Obama because I’m inspired by him, by his voice, his intellect, his leadership and his judgement.” “Me and Jess, we’re here as Americans. We’re here as humans because this is something we had to do,” Timberlake told the crowd at the Clark County Government Center amphitheater, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. He added, “We’ve never publicly endorsed before. But we’ve never been so inspired by one person.” (A source tells Us that Timberlake’s mother, Lynn, helped him write his opening remarks.) “Nothing that the next president’s Supreme Court appointments could determine the future of legal abortions”, Biel told the crowd, “Nobody should be able to say what you can do with your body.” Joked Timberlake, “I give Jess the right to choose where we go to eat all the time. The funny thing is, what the woman chooses is usually right.” “Brownie points for you,” Biel kidded back. Teased Timberlake, “I know where my bread is buttered.” Felice Garcia, a 21-year-old college student who attended the rally, told the Review-Journal she was impressed Timberlake took time out to attend the rally.”I really respect him for that,” she said. “He obviously cares about this.” Click here to register to vote!
