Justin Timberlake Wins Restraining Order
Posted in Justin Timberlake, Singer on the October 27, 2009
Justin Timberlake was granted a restraining order against his stalker Karen McNeil. According to legal documents, the woman rolled over to the signer’s house in a cab last Thursday, bypassed security measures, “trespassed onto [Timberlake's] property, attempted to gain access into his home, and delusionally claimed to know and be friends with [Timberlake].” Justin’s security team eventually apprehended McNeil, who is described as a “heavyset white female, approximately 50 years of age.” LAPD cops took McNeil to a local hospital for a 5150 psychiatric evaluation. However, sources say that the individuals who evaluated her felt that she didn’t meet the criteria for a 5150 hold so she was released.
Leona Lewis Album Coming Soon
Posted in Justin Timberlake, Leona Lewis on the October 12, 2009
The album art for Leona Lewis’s upcoming second studio album called ‘Echo’ has recently been released and the singer is looking hot on it! The 24-year old British singing sensation has a lot of great songs on the album, which will be released on November 17. Leona has worked with the likes of Ryan Tedder, Justin Timberlake, Max Martin, Xenomania and James Fauntheroy. It sounds like she managed to get a great ensemble of artists to make sure that her album will be a success. But if the first single, ‘Happy’, off of the album is anything to go by, Leona has another hit record under her belt.

Justin Timberlake is ‘pinging’ sexy back - as he plays table tennis in a new TV advertisement.
The SexyBack star, 28, dons a headband and shorts as he furiously trades shots at the ping-pong table with American football star Peyton Manning.
As they compete, the duo trade insults - in Chinese.
Sportscaster Erin Andrews, who recently hit headlines when it emerged she had been surreptitiously filmed getting undressed in hotel rooms across the United States, gives a commentary as the pair play in the commercial for Sony television sets.
English subtitles appear at the bottom of the screen as they “speak” the language.
“The campaign tells a simple truth,” said William Gelner, executive creative director of 180 Los Angeles, Sony’s ad agency.
“Behind all Sony electronics is a rich history of sports and entertainment. So we had two of the biggest icons from those two worlds, Peyton Manning and Justin Timberlake, tell that story.”
The ads are being shown on US TV now.

Musicians Grieve for Michael Jackson
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Michael Jackson on the June 30, 2009
Some of the greatest musicians have released statements via their reps regarding the death of pop music icon Michael Jackson. Everyone from Madonna to Donny Osmond to Justin Timberlake to Beyonce have something to say about the death of the singer. Madonna seems to have been greatly affected saying “I can’t stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless.” Justin moved me with his words by saying “I can’t find the words right now to express how deeply sadden [sic] I am by Michael’s passing. We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music, but of all music. He has been an inspiration to multiple generations and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.”

I just can’t wait.” Her as yet untitled album will feature collaborations with Ne-Yo, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. Leona told Britain’s Daily Star that “The music has a different feel this time. It’s more of a live, heavier sound with a lot of real instruments. It’s something I’ll be able to perform live.” I can’t wait to hear it.
Justin Timberlake to sing a duet with Leona Lewis
Posted in Duet, Justin Timberlake, Leona Lewis on the January 13, 2009
Pop stars Leona Lewis is all set to be the singing partner of Justin Timberlake as the two hope to come together to collaborate for a cover of Whitney Houston’s worldwide hit single ‘I Will Always Love You’ released in 1992 and penned originally by Dolly Parton.
A source close to the two singer and one who know all about the behind the scene arrangements to get the two to sing a duet says “Leona and Justin are huge fans of each other’s music and are raring to go.”
Justin himself has admitted in the past that he would really not go an opportunity to work with the British star ever since he met Leona at his concert ‘Justin and Friends’ last year.
He said: “I’m going to go pimp myself to Leona Lewis, because I think she’s an amazing singer.”
It seems there is a great bit of mutual respect the two singers have for one another but in an industry where no one budges one bit even for the best of friends such good words should have a deeper story.

Justin Timberlake in Nut Huggers
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Justin Timberlake, Video on the November 26, 2008
Justin Timberlake squeezed into a leotard and poked fun at the rumors that Beyonce hired a drag queen for her ‘Single Ladies’ music video. Paul Rudd, who hosted Saturday Night Live’ recently, acted as Beyonce’s music video director with Andy Samberg, Bobby Moynihan and JT acted as Beyonce’s backup dancers. It is so hilarious! Justin also hosted SNL in two minutes flat during the segment the Weekend Update. Considering how many times he’s shown up in SNL, whether hosting or just a guest, I’m anticipating the time when he’s considered a regular cast member and seen on the opening credits.

Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Lopez, Fergie, Heidi Klum, Isla Fisher, Dennis Quaid, Ryan Seacrest, Kate Walsh, Kate Moss, Hayden Panettiere, Lucy Liu and Amanda Bynes were just some of the celebrities who were spotted in the audience to witness the momentous event.

Justin Timberlake on the Campaign Trail
Posted in Barack Obama, Justin Timberlake on the October 22, 2008
Justin Timberlake and girlfriend Jessica Biel got the crowd going at the ‘Last Chance for Change’ rally in Las Vegas recently. Justin told the crowd “This is not my usual stage — and I’m a little nervous. This is the first time in my life that I am endorsing a political candidate. I’m not here as a musician or an actor or that guy that writes songs. I’m not here as a Democrat or a Republican. I’m here as an American. I’m not here to tell you what to think but I urge you to think. I’m supporting Barack Obama because I’m inspired by him, by his voice, his intellect, his leadership and his judgment.”

Beyonce’s Album Release
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Justin Timberlake on the October 13, 2008
Beyonce was supposed to deliver the tracks of her new album at the start of this month in order to make its November release but things are looking a little shaky. A source tells Rush & Molloy that it’s going to be a close one because of the singer’s acting schedule, for one, and because of the duet with Justin Timberlake took a lot of time to do. It’s going to be an issue if she doesn’t get it out early in the fourth quarter. Her label chief at Sony says that the album will come out on time and that the first two singles off of the album will be utterly huge. Maybe the Justin track will be one of the first two singles.
Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears Reunion
Posted in Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Reunion on the August 29, 2008
Britney Spears was seen stopping by Conway Recording studios in Los Angeles last week. Do you remember a piece of news last year about Britney recording with her ex Justin Timberlake? I wonder if that can still be done. It would be hot if it happened. The former couple was actually supposed to work together and record a duet for her ‘Blackout’ album but the then troubled pop star failed to show up. The piece of news even said that it would be her comeback if it did happen. Well, she’s more poised to make a comeback this year. Maybe it can still happen.
Madonna to reunite Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears
Posted in Britney Spears, Concert, Justin Timberlake, Madonna on the July 17, 2008
Madonna wants to reunite Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. The 49-year-old singer is reportedly trying to get the former lovers to join her on stage for her ‘Sticky and Sweet’ world tour.
A source said: “Madonna is always trying to raise the bar and Britney and Justin on the same stage would be perfect.”
Madonna is said to be hoping to convince Britney and Justin - who split in 2002 after four years together - to appear with her on the final US date of the tour in Miami, in November.
The source added: “They have both been asked but I think they are both a bit reluctant. Britney would find it all a bit emotional and Justin might not be interested. More likely is that they will both appear at different dates. But if anyone can make it happen it’s Madonna.”
Britney, 26, has already recorded a video segment to be screened on the tour. Filmed in a lift, it shows her in a white vest getting hot and sweaty as she kicks and punches the walls. Madonna has also asked Britney to appear live with her as a surprise guest at some dates on the tour.
Justin, 27, was heavily involved with the making of Madonna’s latest album ‘Hard Candy’, and Madonna has also asked him to duet with her during the tour.
Justin appears on her worldwide hit single ‘4 Minutes’ from the new album and has writing credits on five of its tracks.
Madonna’s ‘Sticky and Sweet’ world tour kicks off in Cardiff, Wales, on August 23, and takes in Europe, North America and Mexico.
Justin Timberlake Writes
Posted in Justin Timberlake, Singers, Song on the July 14, 2008
Justin Timberlake took some time to write. But instead of writing songs, he wrote an article for The Chicago Tribune entitled ‘Out Loud with Justin Timberlake’. In the article, he talks about knowing Ray Allen and how he wants to meet race car driver Danica Patrick. He also talked about how his hero growing up was Michael Jordan and not the likes of Stevie Wonder or Michael Jackson. He says he was pretty convinced that he was going to be a basketball player except he never grew tall enough to be one. He also mentioned how his favorite athlete is Tiger Woods. You can read the full article on the paper’s website.
Britney Glitters, Justin and Rihanna Golden at VMAs
Posted in Britney Spears, Celebs, Hip-Hop, Justin Timberlake, Las Vegas, MTV, MTV VMA, Music, Music Award, Music People, Performance, Photography, R&B, Rihanna, TV Show, Video on the September 10, 2007
Oh Britney. You have given us yet another performance where you lipsynch, and badly, while wearing as little as possible, to a song no one will remember in six months. This is nothing new, and sadly, it’s actually worse than ever. Maybe now is time to embrace the fact that talent is actually a necessity when attempting a singing career. Shocking though it may be, some actually enjoy singers who can, well, sing well. You might look into a career more fitting to your needs; should anyone need an unintelligent, burnt out, baby dropping train wreck, I am sure you will be the first person they call. This was actually the best thing you could have done; you have finally put an end to your career. Thank you MTV. This is even better than when you canceled the Tom Green show. Justin Timberlake shouted upon accepting the inaugural Moon Man trophy for Quadruple Threat of the Year, one of four new hyperbolically titled honors handed out in lieu of standards like Best R&B or Best Hip-Hop Video. Timberlake was also named the VMAs’ Male Artist of the Year.
Kid Rock Spins
Posted in Celebs, Concert, Justin Timberlake, Las Vegas, Music, Music People, Performance, Photography, Rock, Singers on the September 4, 2007
Las Vegas has never been more popping. First there was Britney then there was Justin Timberlake and Timbaland and then there was Kid Rock.
Kid Rock and about thirty of his cronies partied in Sin city over the weekend. A witness says that Kid Rock’s entourage of party people, which included Sugar Ray front man Mark McGrath, went into the Moon Nightclub and took over the main party table by the dance floor. When the liquor started pouring, Kid Rock took a turn on the tables for about an hour.
He seemed to be a happy camper and why wouldn’t he be? He had a kick ass sold-out Labor Day kickoff show at the Pearl Concert Theater before he started partying.
