Timberlake at Spike Awards
Liberal Civvy sends us a link to Entertainment Today which tells the story from Marine Kelsey DeSantis about her trip to the Spike TV Guys Choice Awards at the invitation of Justin Timberlake. You might remember that Timberlake took DeSantis to her Marine Corps Ball last year.
But, De Santis didn’t attend the affair alone. She was allowed to bring a guest — her boyfriend, Jake, also a former marine.
“We walked in and they told us that we were way up in the front, and here we are walking past all these celebrities,” De Santis went on. “Aaron Rogers was on our left. We then see Brooke Hogan. We sat down at our table and it was full of models. It was so cool.”
When it was time for Timberlake’s award (he nabbed the show’s Entertainer of the Year Award, and was honored with the Troops’ Choice prize), Kelsey told E! News, “They brought out a bunch of members of the military and showed clips of Justin. I had no idea that he was going to stand up there and talk so much about the Marine Corps Ball and how much it meant to him. All of a sudden he said ‘Kelsey, where you at?’ I was smiling from ear to ear. I did not see that coming. It was really nice and I was super excited.”
As for Timberlake’s admiration for the military, De Santis said, “It is a huge, huge deal. Sometimes we take things for granted. It means so much that Justin shows his appreciation for the service, not just to me, but for all the servicemen and -women out there.”
Like Liberal Civvy wrote to us, I really want to dislike the guy, but I just can’t

Sigh.
I used to loath his.
But I’m with you, now. Only a guy who, at base, is a decent human being would act this way.
Thanks, JT. You’re doing us proud.
his = him.
And he’s funny as hell on SNL. I agree with both of you. I don’t dig his music and was prepared to hate the guy for being, well, a boy toy or something like that. But he’s seems genuine. Nice to see as I don’t think he’s getting anything out of it.

He visited Walter Reed the last day I was on Ward 57 as an inpatient. He’s legit.
Hooah!
He’s too fabulous to dislike!
Guy’s come a long way since the boy-band days. Well done.
The boy gets an “Ooorah” from me!
You hear a lot about the Hollywood America Hating, Military loathing crowd and no-where near enough about Timberlake, Gary Sinese, Denzell Washington and other celebrities that support our troops. Props to Timberlake. I also want to dislike him but just can’t.
Good for him. And thank you.
