Though Biel and Timberlake snuck out of the theater just before the film ended, the “couple sat together and watched the program of shorts.” They were later seen at the Parker Palm Springs hotel celebrating with a group of friends. While fans gushed over the surprise appearance by Timberlake, Biel had her own wave of attention earlier in the night. “Before heading into the theater, several of the Marines from the [nearby] base were volunteering and asked Jessica to pose in a photo,” says the onlooker.
