Justin Timberlake Rita Ora Duet After Jessica Biel 'Put in a Good Word,' Source Says [PHOTOS]
Justin Timberlake and Rita Ora may work on a duet in the future after his wife Jessica Biel "put in a good word" for the British singer, a source told The Sun, in a report published Tuesday.
Ora chatted with Biel on July 12 during Timberlake's performance at the Yahoo! Wireless festival in London, and expressed an interest in working with the Mirrors singer. The insider said the women "really hit it off" because they were both standing "looking adoringly" at Timberlake as he played his set.
"Jessica saw how enamored Rita was with her husband's performance and got chatting to her," the insider added. "She put a word in with Justin afterwards and now Rita and he could be working together very soon."

Ora also uploaded onto Instagram a photo of Timberlake on stage, taken from the skybox where she was watching alongside Biel. She captioned the image, "Only Mr. JT."
The 22-year-old Shine Ya Light singer is connected to Timberlake through her Roc Nation label boss Jay-Z, who had the duet Suit & Tie with the 32-year-old. They also collaborated on a Holy Grail, a track featured on Jay-Z's latest album Magna Carta Holy Grail. The pair embarked on their Legends of Summer Tour on Sunday and opened their first show with special guest Rihanna, who came on stage to perform Run This Town.
Ora performed at Wireless festival on July 13, a few acts after Jay-Z, and then at T in the Park in Scotland on Sunday. Following her second performance, she tweeted, "Scotland you rocked with me today thank you!"
"You all showed me more then I can even dream that's love and support," she added.
