Stage Tube: Jennifer Aniston Sings on Ellen

Jennifer Aniston will do her own singing in the upcoming film "The Goree Girls." The motion picture is based on a real-life story of female prisoners who formed a popular country-and-western band in the 1940s. 

She gave People.com one guarantee about her big-screen musical debut: "I can carry a tune." On the Ellen show today, Aniston sang a small amount of "I Got a Crush On You", at the 1 minute mark in the linked clip. 

Aniston is both starring in and producing The Goree Girls and is currently honing her singing skills as the production get set to roll in January.

"It won't be bad," Aniston told People while promoting her latest film Love Happens. "Here's the good news: the band - they weren't musicians. They basically created a band in prison in order to get paroled. So you're dealing with new singing voices and new instrument playing and somehow they find a way and become a huge phenomenon. It's a true story."

Aniston's fellow inmates have not been cast as of yet. To read the full article on People.com click here.
