TOUCHDOWN – MILA KUNIS DATES A MARINE

This week's perspective from Bob Reid: What’s not to like about this? Hollywood starlet Mila Kunis was doing the media rounds with co-star Justin Timberlake to promote their new movie “Friends With Benefits” when a reporter told her about the YouTube date invitation a U.S. Marine serving in Afghanistan had put forward to Kunis. Of course she accepted (amid much egging-on by Timberlake), and she will be attending the Marine Corps Ball in November with Sgt. Scott Moore. It looked grim for a moment yesterday, when cyberspace was awash with rumour – and vicious criticism of Kunis – falsely accusing her of breaking the date. She took to Twitter to confirm her planned attendance, and the story once again had fresh legs. Oh, and it assured even more airtime for the latest promotional event for the movie – go figure. The whole thing quickly prompted a similar invitation to Timberlake from a female member of the U.S. military … curiously, no word from him on that thus far. Really, J.T.?!
