Justin Timberlake continues to mourn the loss of Michael Jackson.
Timberlake has performed with the King of Pop, including an ‘NSYNC duet with Jackson at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards. Timberlake was so influenced by Jackson that he also wore a fedora and glove and showed off Jackson-esque dance moves in his “Cry Me a River” video.
“The thing about Michael is the memories,” Timberlake tells MTV U.K. “I’m lucky enough to have memories — actually, physically — with him onstage and off.”
He says the way the entire world has reacted to Jackson’s passing is a “testament to how big a deal it is, obviously, because he’s created so many cultural photos in people’s minds with his music that he was and always will be the King of Pop.”
“To create the things that he created with his music is untouchable,” Timberlake goes on. “He opened the minds of the world to be able to do that through his music… [it's] a feat not accomplished by many people, maybe only a handful of people. I don’t think anyone ever did it like him.”
Jackson – who died June 25 at the age of 50 after suffering cardiac arrest -
“opened the minds of people about music,” Timberlake said. “He opened the minds of people about culture. Even if it was this much in your conscious, he helped with segregation. His music did that and not a lot of people can say that. Michael was the baddest!”
Contrary to popular belief and Lindsay Lohan’s tweets, Justin Timberlake has not cheated on Jessica Biel — and he has proof!
A nightclub owner is defending Justin, blasting reports that he cheated on Jessica. Witnesses saw Justin with a mystery girl, thus setting in motion the rumors that he was stepping out on his girlfriend.
Noah Tepperberg, owner of the club where JT was partying, said, “My partner, Danny A., was with Justin and a few of his guy friends the entire night, and I was within 15 feet of him the whole time he was there, and we know for sure he was not doing anything with other girls.”
He added, “He was having a good time with the guys, and came and left with them. I have surveillance cameras that show this to be the case and anything you are hearing is simply not true.”
Ruh roh. We’ve just heard that Justin Timberlake was spotted out and about by none other than Lindsay Lohan, smooching on another girl!
The woman wanted for questioning in a jewelry heist — Lindsay Lohan — is now accusing Justin Timberlake of swapping spit with someone other than Jessica Biel.
Lilo allegedly witnessed Timber cheating at Avenue nightclub in New York Monday night — something this blog first put together — and LiLo not-so-cryptically Tweeted about it by saying,
“… where’s jb cheater?” (jb = Jessica Biel)
So the question is … you buying what LiLo’s selling?
Justin Timberlake joked about sleeping with ex Britney Spears on his weekend appearance on Saturday Night Live.
The 28-year-old singer played an immigrant named Cornelius Timberlake and jokingly predicted the future for his family.
“I’d like to think that at first, he’ll date a popular female singer,” he said (watch above). “Publicly, they’ll claim to be virgins. But privately, he’ll hit it.”
Timberlake and Andy Samberg also created another digital short that picked up where Emmy-winning “D–k in a Box” left off.
The clip, “Motherlover,” starred Susan Sarandon and Patricia Clarkson. Watch below.
MTV, FremantleMedia North America and executive producer Justin Timberlake are taking viewers on a relentless, heart pounding, adrenaline ride as “The Phone” premieres on April 21st at 10pm ET/PT. The innovative, six episode series is a genre-busting, one hour cinematic competition that simulates what it would be like for viewers to be dropped into the middle of a thrilling adventure movie.
“The Phone” is a groundbreaking game show whose blend of reality and cinematic action-adventure pulls its participants out of their everyday lives and thrusts them into a high-stakes labyrinth of engagement, suspense and intrigue as they race against time for a huge cash prize.
Each week, the lives of four unwitting strangers are interrupted and changed forever by a phone call where a mysterious voice invites them to participate in the game. If they choose yes by pressing “one” on their cell phones, the now new contestants begin to trigger dangerous events that propel them into their adventure and the chance to win up to $50,000.
The mysterious voice pairs the contestants up into two teams and instructs them to follow a movie-like drama that leads them through a series of mental and physical challenges from hanging off the edge of Seattle’s Space Needle to racing into a burning building to save a man’s life. The player’s loyalty, courage and morality are tested and their true nature is exposed when a surprise and shocking twist is revealed at the end of the game.
