Jessica Biel: model, actress…singer? Maybe so. On Oct. 9, the 7th Heaven veteran, 26, visited the Sunset Marquis’ Night Bird Studio to record tracks for a new movie.
“It’s going to be for a special DVD project,” an insider tells Life & Style. “The studio team said she has a great range and did a really good job.”
Jessica’s musical talent isn’t just something she picked up from boyfriend Justin Timberlake, 27. When she was a child growing up in Boulder, Colo., she trained as a vocalist and played roles in Annie, The Sound of Music and Beauty and the Beast.
As for Justin’s involvement in Jessica’s new career track, the insider says, “He hasn’t stopped by the studio with her yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did soon.”
Jessica Biel wasn’t scheduled to appear at a political event in Las Vegas on October 11, but her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, requested that she take the stage at the Clark County Amphitheater with him.
“They were really cute together,” says an onlooker who watched the couple speak on behalf of candidate Barack Obama. “They played off each other and often finished each other’s sentences.”
It’s no wonder the couple are in perfect sync: Their friends are saying that they are headed for marriage. “I think they’re both very, very family-oriented people, so I definitely see them getting married pretty soon,” Justin’s former ’NSync bandmate Lance Bass tells In Touch.
Jessica and Justin recently visited Justin’s grandmother, Sadie Bomar, and she also believes they make a beautiful match. “They are very happy and right together,” she says. “Jessica is a sweet girl and they really enjoy each other’s company.” “They are very much one. They are very similar,” Justin’s best friend, Trace Ayala, tells In Touch, adding that the pair seem to be ready for a bigger commitment. “I mean, he’s happy! I’ve seen him with other women, so I can tell.”
Justin Timberlake performed an off-the cuff riff, singing “Vote in a Box,” a spoof of his infamous raunchy Saturday Night Live Sketch, at a Las Vegas rally for Barack Obama on Saturday.
Girlfriend Jessica Biel was at Timberlake’s side.
“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.”
Noting 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.”
The SexyBack hitmaker has penned songs for Biel’s forthcoming album, and will also sing on some tracks, according to online reports.
A source tells AngryApe.com, “Justin’s written and produced the best part of an entire album for Jessica. He wants to get his own fans on side, so he’s provided backing vocals on most of the tracks too.”
The pop superstars both offered to perform, with Timberlake going so far as planning to pen a new song especially for the two brides. But, when the couple chose to scale their wedding plans back to a more intimate family affair, the idea of inviting big name stars to perform in their garden seemed a little odd.
DeGeneres says, “We called and disinvited everyone. They totally understood.”
Instead, she asked Joshua Radin to sing at the wedding: “He was fantastic and was so thrilled and honored.”
