Mila Cancels Marine Ball Date

Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake gets his own invitation

(Newser) – Well, you can say awwww again, but this time for a very different reason: Looks like Mila Kunis won't be going to the ball with the Marine who invited her on YouTube after all. Gawker and Reuters note that yesterday on Access Hollywood Live, Billy Bush announced Kunis can't go because she's filming two movies around the time of the November ball. But, Bush said, Kunis is going to try to meet with Sgt. Scott Moore at another time.

And, in a separate report, Access Hollywood also notes Kunis may try to rearrange her schedule to attend the ball. That's what Richard Lawson would like to see happen: After all, it "would be incredibly bad PR to back out at this point, wouldn't it?" he writes on Gawker. "C'mon, Mila. You can't do this to the poor guy. Find a way. You're a movie star! Use your movie star magic." Meanwhile, Cpl. Kelsey De Santis is calling Justin Timberlake's bluff (JT was the one who convinced Kunis to accept the YouTube invitation). Watch her invitation to Justin in the gallery, or click to watch the original.
