Ellen DeGeneres: I told Justin Timberlake not to perform at my wedding

Chat show host says she didn't want a huge bash

Sunday, 21 September 2008

Ellen DeGeneres has revealed that Justin Timberlake was set to sing at her wedding to Portia de Rossi.

The chat show host, 50, had agreed to let the 27-year-old star perform a new song he had written especially for the occasion.

But Ellen, who had also asked George Michael to appear, got last-minute nerves and cancelled them both.

‘It just got bigger and bigger,’ Ellen tells Us Weekly. ‘It was going to be gigantic and Ryan [Seacrest] talked us out of it.’

In the end, she and Portia, 35, settled for an intimate ceremony with close family and friends at their home in LA last month.
