Mila Kunis: Officially the coolest celebrity on the planet

Mila Kunis earned major street cred (like she needed any more) by apparently accepting an invitation from a fan to this year’s Marine Corps Ball. Sgt. Scott Moore, who is stationed with the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines in Musa Qalain, Afghanistan, took a leap of faith when he posted a quick video on YouTube last week asking the Friends with Benefits star to the annual soiree.

According to Fox411, a reporter asked Kunis at a recent event if she’d seen the video. She hadn’t, but Benefits co-star Justin Timberlake vowed to make it his mission to get her to view the viral invitation, urging, “You need to do it for your country!”

Eventually Kunis has gladly accepted, saying on the red carpet, “I’ll do it.”  The event will be held in Greenville, North Carolina, this November 18. You can watch Sgt. Moore’s invite below:

    This is so cool :) Thanks Mila

    • darclyte

      Good for her. I don’t care what her reasons for accepting may or may not be, she said yes, and that’s great! I hope she goes and they both enjoy that special evening. Semper Fi, Mila!

      • Ricky

        For my birthday, I’m going to ask Mila if I can take her a nal virginity.

      • Neo

        Too late Ricky. Done took it last week.

    • Mike

      It’s a nice thing to do, but it was probably at the point where it’d have been bad PR not to.

      • Bruno

        Thanks for your input & service, Mike.

      • James Freud

        I’d like to make a Mila of her Kunis

      • Steve

        James Freud, LOL at that one ..made my day. Semper Fi she makes a Mila out of his little soldier as well.

      • nailp086

        I strongly suggest you a place___ BlackwhiteCupid.c-/0m ___
        which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the Rich sin gles and treat you like a King or Queen. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends.

      • Squishmar

        Yeah, James Freud… it was funny when Mike Myers said it on SNL as Wayne.

    • Peter Griffin

      Shut up, Meg.

      • Ben

      • Alex

        Ha! Pea… Tear… Griffin…

  • DTO

    Good for her. Talk about a morale boost!

  • Katie

    Nov 18th is my birthday!

    • Will

      Nice of you to drop your own gig into this story about someone else, because you deserve some attention too. So, Kate, I’ve marked my calendar for your special day. If you can find a way to contact me (try asking PopWatch), I’ll give you personal acknowledgement on your special day. Will

      • AshleyBrooke

        Nice of you to attack her because God forbid she may be excited that this is happening on her birthday.

      • Cat

        Stay classy, Will.

      • me, damnit

        Shut up, Meg (ashley).

      • Billy B

        YOU FREAK

      • cc

      • Trill

      • Sam J

        Mine is June 12
        I’m a doctor who loves Scorpios. and now looking for two dumb biches to….

  • corps wife

    Good for her! I know I love my Marine. Semper Fi!

    • Sunsetsnow81

      Oorah!

  • Sunsetsnow81

    That’s great! I had a feeling she would do it and not for the publicity.

  • Liz

    I’m glad she said yes, she’s always seemed pretty cool.

  • Tom Egan

    YAY Mila: Semper Fi guys keep us safe. God bless your decision to be All American girl. Have a BLAST and hug ALL the heroes.

  • Anna

    She would have got a huge amount of flack if she didn’t say yes. Most celebrities would have done the same thing.

    • James S.

      Way to be a cynic, Anna. Now go cry in your ice cream.

      • Your Mom

        Mila Kunis isn’t going to date you, James. No matter how many wet dreams you have about her.

    • Randy

      Yeah, a celebrity really has no choice but to say yes here. Which makes it a bit strange, doesn’t it, that they’re not constantly being asked and constantly saying yes. And we’re not constantly hearing about it. Hmmm. Yes, that is strange. Mighty strange. Some would say inexplicable.

      Seriously, Anna…next time instead of just making a knee-jerk cynical barb to hear yourself talk, how about thinking first about whether what you’re about to say has any basis in fact? Mmmmkthxbye!

      • CarFarter

        Tasty Tacos!

    • Tommy French

      FOr this Marine, this is a very, very good thing. All you people who are hating on her or him need to just STFU!

      Thank You, Mila. You’ve made someone’s day, probably a whole lot of someones.

    • Katie (not the one above)

      I don’t know many women who would turn down an invitation to the Marine Corps Ball. Hot guys in uniforms who are willing to put their lives on the line for their country? What woman in her right mind would say no?

  • lifer

    @ anna – i agree she would have gotten flack but not that most celebrities would have done the same. They probably would feign ignorance over the video. Or lie. Good for her in any event!

    • etm

      I agree, lifer. Recently there was that chef who wouldn’t fulfill a child’s “make a wish” dream to cook with her.

      • tigersmurfette

        ya. but she took so much flak she offered to cook with the kid. he said no thanks, and swam with dolphins and cooked with someone else instead(i think, not sure. just know that the chef tried to backtrack and it didnt work)

      • kimmy

        that chef = Ina Garten.

      • Mark

        The chef was Ina Garten and if you’re a fan of her show (which you’re clearly not) you’d know that there have been major changes on her show’s format and rumors that she needs more time off to spend with her sick husband. Care to rephrase that or just continue to look like a douche?

    • Judd

      Really, that idiot barefoot contessa on the food network couldn’t even be bothered – twice – to cook with a Make a Wish kid that was dying.

    • B Chamberlai

      Had she not said yes, I do not think we would have heard anything about it. Maybe With social media there are a million requests a day from people to celebs that do not get any sort of response, some private and some public. She is an actress that will be making plans to do something nice and not just stroking a check. Good for her….

  • Jeffrey

    She. Is so hot.

    • Alex F

      Ina Garten is so hot?

  • Marci Stone

    Mila – you are the greatest. Our troops work hard for our freedom. They deserve good things. thanks for making this happen

  • Regina George

    Watch the National Enquirer invent a story.
    ———————————————
    EXCLUSIVE! Mila doesn’t want to be at the ball!

    Source: She HATES her date and told him, “JUST SHUT UP!”

    ————————————————

    But anyway, that was a really sweet thing of Mila to do. Let’s start an Mila Kunis fan club!

  • syruckwq

    Sorry this is stupid. He is an idiot .for even asking and she stupid for accepting.

    • MikeC

      Jeesh syruckwq. Why don’t you take that bitter, meaningless horror you call your life and go find a sense of dignity…

    • jfrazier

      Hey MikeC, he’s just mad because she probably turned him down on his World of Warcraft ball invite.

  • MikeC

    Jeesh syruckwq. Why don’t you take that bitter, meaningless horror you call your life and go find a sense of dignity…

    • syruckwq

      Why because he is the.military I should worship him and he should get every ridiculous request he makes? No its pathetic he even had the nerve.to ask and I like mila, but I say she is being stupid for this.

      • MikeC

        It’s called being nice and appreciating the sacrifice others – i.e. the military, first responders, moms, apple pie, etc – bitter, bitter, bitter…

      • Chase Lehocky

        You are just stupid… what importance have up done in your life.

      • Tim

        syruckwq, I hope that one day you’ll need a blood transfusion and the only person to give it to you is in the military and reads the EW comments section.

      • SK

        You are just jealous!

      • Fridge

        MikeC, I’d like to say thank you for including first responders in your list. I’m engaged to a firefighter who’s also an EMT and very rarely does anyone ever acknowledge those guys :) I think what she did was really sweet.

      • Tim

        Someone got picked last in gym class…

      • MEB

        Unlike you he had the balls to ask. Why is she stupid? Because she is going to get to got to a military function and have fun, gets lots of press for doing this? syruckwq, you are the pathetic one!

      • Jack

        Come stand in front of me and say what you said here. I’ll show you what pathetic is..

      • DUH

        how many dates with mila kunis have you been on? looks like you’re one step behind “stupid”

      • mediumrare

        The only thing pathetic was your post.

      • Sun Stevens

        So being ballsy is counted as pathetic in your world? I find that to be, well…pathetic.

      • Anya

        How exactly is it pathetic that he had the nerve to ask?? I would say that’s pretty ballsy actually. Also, he’s over there fighting for our country and risking his life in Afghanistan. You should probably be thanking him instead of insulting him for no reason.

  • D Wilson

    Now This Lady Is Class… Hollywood Take Note.

    • Hello

      Mila was born in Ukraine and no doubt is very,very happy to be American. She has done well in her new country.

      • Incredulous

        New country? She’s been here 22 years.

      • SK

        She lives here almost her intire life!
