Gabourey Sidibe had a blast answering the phones during George Clooney's Hope For Haiti Now telethon last month (Jan10) - because she spent her time passing flirty notes to Justin Timberlake.
The Precious star, a self-confessed 'N Sync superfan, has been open about her crush on Timberlake and recently admitted she would love to take the SexyBack hitmaker to the Academy Awards as her date.
Sidibe made sure the pop star noticed her at the celebrity charity telethon in January (10) by sending him a note reading, "Dear Justin, Hi. Love Gabby."
She couldn't believe her luck when Timberlake sent a similar message back and the actress admits she will treasure the note forever.
She tells People magazine, "It was straight up junior high. I was like, 'Where am I?' But I'm burying that note with me when I die."
Sidibe has been nominated for best Actress at next month's Academy Awards ceremony for her breakthrough performance in the gritty Precious.
However she faces tough competition as Sandra Bullock, Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep and Carey Mulligan are all nominated alongside her.
