Justin: "Shrek" Yes, Wedding No
Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz are ready for a blockbuster partnership. And no, we're not talking about that rumored weekend wedding.
The "Rock Your Body" singer will voice the role of Artie--a teenage King Arthur--in DreamWorks' Shrek 3, which is due in 2007. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas will all be back.
Although Diaz is already part of the Shrek family, voicing the role of Shrek's missus, Fiona, in the first two installments of the Oscar-winning ogre franchise, producer Aaron Warner insists the fact that the two are an item had nothing to do with the casting decision.
"Our desire was to get somebody who is visible and had their own persona to bring to the table," Warner tells USA Today.
"Justin fit the bill perfectly."
Aside from a stint as a Mouseketeer, Timberlake hasn't show much in the way of acting chops. But the 'N Syncer turned Grammy-winning Justify-er is set to make his presence felt at the multiplex this year with two features.
The budding thespian will first appear in Edison, playing a journalist opposite Oscar-winning costars Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey. The film wrapped last year.
Timberlake will then be seen in Nick Cassavetes' Alpha Dog as a gang member. The film is slated to hit theaters this fall.
Meanwhile, Timberlake, 24, and Diaz, 32, are fending off rumors of a wedding this weekend.
London's News of the World reported that the duo planned to tie the knot at the Grand-Hotel Du Cap-Ferrat in southern France, with Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne among the invitees.
But the couple, who spent part of this past weekend at the Coachella Festival in Southern California, say you can hold off on the wedding gifts for now.
On Monday Diaz's publicist, Brad Cafarelli, called the purported nuptial news "totally false."
