Lea Michele recently had an interview where she got to talk about makeup, her stand out moment on ‘Glee’ and who would be a perfect addition to the hit Fox TV series. The actress said “Justin Timberlake would be the perfect Glee guest star: He sings, he dances, and he’s hilarious.” Producers are said to be saving the singer’s appearance and music for the much-anticipated Super Bowl episode. Lea also mentions how singing ‘Don’t Rain on My Parade’ was her best moment on the show because it’s her favorite song and felt that it was a dream come true to get the chance to perform it.
Joey Lawrence is planning to release some new music and he wants everyone to know about it. He said “It’s called ‘Stuck with Me’. It reminds of me of the theme of ‘Friends’. And I’m making a brand new record that will drop early next year. It is right there with the first Justin Timberlake CD. I haven’t done an album since 1997, but it sold six million copies and fans have always asked me for more. And I would not have waited this long and gone down this path again if I didn’t think we had something.” I’m not sure how the ‘Friends’ theme and Justin’s first CD have any relationship but whatever. I don’t think anyone even cares about Joey anyway.
In one of the final clips from Sheryl Crow’s EPK series in support of her new record 100 Miles From Memphis, Sheryl gives fans a little bit of background on her soulful cover of Terence Trent D’Arby’s 1988 hit “Sign Your Name.” Be sure to watch the clip until the very end to catch a cameo from Justin Timberlake, who sings background vocals on the track
It would probably sure help his career and his image a bit since all you hear about Justin Timberlake lately is that he parties hard in Las Vegas. It looks like the singer might actually make an appearance on the second season of the already popular series. Ryan Murphy, Glees creator, said the following on the matter: “Justin is the one the kids jump up and down about every day and beg me to meet with him. I’m a huge fan of his music. I think he’s so talented. And he’s a true triple threat: He can sing, dance, and act. So yeah, we’d love to have him on. We start shooting the second season in July and I think I will work some magic around that time for him if I can.” The way he describes him, Justin Timberlake is perfect for the series they might actually consider making him a permanent member. Its not like hes doing anything else.
Justin Bieber recently talked to OK magazine where the young singer was asked about the comparisons between him and Justin Timberlake. The younger Justin said He’s an icon. He’s very musical. But I’m my own person. Who the heck started these so-called comparisons anyway? The only similar things that I could see from this point are the screaming fan girls. Anything else is completely different. Bieber wasnt in a boy band. Biebers music is very different from Timberlakes. And Timberlake hasnt been on the music scene lately. Im kind of wishing that he was back already so he can shut these comparisons up.
Jessica Biel could be “the one” for on-off lover Justin Timberlake, according to his mum.
Timberlake’s mother Lynn Harless gave her clear seal of approval to actress Biel, calling her “one of us” as the pair chatted affectionately backstage at the singer’s fashion show in New York.
And asked about Biel, Harless gushed: “She is so down to earth and real. She’s amazing and her family is great.”
Asked if she thought Biel was “the one” for her son, reporter Justin Silverman says Harless “crossed her fingers and closed her eyes with hope”.
She added: “You should ask him. I’ve thought that before. They’re young. They have plenty of time.”
But she spoke about her desire for them to have children. “I’ve had friends who have grandchildren and I’ve tried to express to him that I’m losing that race!” she says.
Justin Timberlake is giving an old friend a big break as the entrepreneur just signed one of his former Mickey Mouse Club cast mates onto his label. Matt Morris, who was once in the band MMC with JC Chasez, is no stranger to the business, having written songs for Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera and Justin himself. Justin said that he was thrilled to bring Matt onto his Tennman label. He explained that Matts music style is like Ray LaMontagne meets Elton John meets Stevie Wonder meets Rufus Wainwright. Its time for the birth of the hybrid artist. What about your music Justin? When are you coming out with new stuff?
And its not because of some wonder-hit he might have concocted recently. No, Justin Timberlake is in our attention once more since rumors have yet again been showing up with regards to the fact that he might be having a romance with Rihanna. This is what a source said on the matter: “She’s getting close to Justin again and it’s getting hot. Rihanna called a friend and said she had a sexy little secret to share. She started laughing and said, ‘Don’t trip, but I have hooked up with Justin.’ She said it was really good, hot and wild and that they have some of the best make out sessions she’s ever experienced.” Looks like Justin Timberlake is busted. Still, this new info isnt going to grease up the wheels in their new relationship more like add a wholesome layer of rust if anything.
It seems that the singers confessions with regards to her incident with Chris Brown have not yet ceased. Rihanna still has much more to tell and among this information there is also the fact that she found peace while recording her new album. This is what Rihanna related on the matter: “I hid out for a while, but that just drove me crazy. I got cabin fever. I was ready to make music again. It was a hard time, but I found peace in the studio. I wanted something grimy. It was important to have familiar people in the studio, for there to be a comfort level, because of what I wanted to say.” Apparently, among the people Rihanna spent her time with in the studio were Justin Timberlake and Ne-Yo. Really? Must be why she felt so comfortable over there and why the album isnt really that great according to the general opinion.
Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and the LA Lakers are getting sued by a company that claims that they all used knockoffs of their big screen in concert. Large Audience Display Systems says in a federal lawsuit filed in Texas that the concerts in question used a large audience display screen that was identical to their patented gigantic monitors. Britney uses the screen on her Circus tour. Justin used the monitors on his FutureSex/LoveShow tour and the Lakers use them for the games. The Pussycat Dolls were also involved in the lawsuit. The company wants an injunction prohibiting the defendants from using the knockoffs in the future as well as unspecified damages.
Although Timbaland has a lot of major contributors to his new album Shock Value II, the producer was surprisingly taken with Miley Cyrus. He said Man, shes gonna be like Justin [Timberlake]. She comes from that same musical background, where shes just got it. Her voice is just there. The best way to put it is shes special. When I worked with her, I was very impressed. I was like, Whoa. I know how the Disney star is coming off as some sort of sensation but I doubt that Mileys going to achieve the same thing that Justin has. And considering what the pop/R&B singer has done with his career, I doubt anyone would want to be compared to the guy.
The woman accused of stalking Justin Timberlake has also once stalked Guns N Roses lead singer Axl Rose. But the two singers arent her only victims. Alleged stalker Karen McNeil has also been banned from getting anywhere close to the members of Metallica, when the band got a restraining order against her back in March. The documents were filed in LA County Superior Court by drummer Lars Ulrich, who requested that the crazy woman stay at least 150 yards away from all members of the band, their families and the people who run the Metallica fan club. Talk about being a professional stalker!
The woman accused of stalking Justin Timberlake has a Guns N Roses connection. Apparently, a judge had already banned the woman from getting near the bands lead singer Axl Rose. Karen McNeil, who Justin calls an obsessed mentally unstable celebrity stalker, was already sentenced to a year in jail after repeatedly disobeying a court order banning her from coming within 300 yards of Axls property. At the time, she told officials that she was Axls wife and communicated with him telepathically. Say what? The hounding didnt stop with jail time though as the woman reportedly continued to send Axl letters from behind bars. Crazy!
The singer recently participated at the ceremony to honor RCA/Jive Label Group President Barry Weiss. And Justin Timberlake wasnt just there to applaud and give credit to the man who helped him with his career, he was there as the master of ceremonies and apparently he did a pretty good job at it too. Here is one of his lines: “Who am I? I’m just another schmendrick who used to be in a goy band. I don’t know what the hell that means either, but I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to be funny.” Well, the jokes do seem to be a bit on the humph side, but then again, whos to judge Justin Timberlakes ability as a comedian? The crowd certainly thought he was good enough.
A mere two years ago, Esme Denters was just a pancake house waitress with a webcam and a dream. An aspiring singer who fell in love with her father’s Stevie Wonder albums as a child, Esme was 17 when she began posting videos of herself on YouTube singing her favorite hits by Beyonc, Alicia Keys, P!ink, and Natasha Bedingfield.”I had seen all these videos of amateur singers, which gave me the idea,” she says. “I was just interested in what other people thought of my voice.” Within nine months, Esme’s videos had racked up 21 million views, and she became the number one most-subscribed musician in the history of the popular video-sharing website.
Esme’s clips soon caught the attention of Justin Timberlake – one of her musical idols – who was drawn to her silky, soulful voice, natural charisma and songwriting talent. He then signed her to his label Tenman Records, an imprint of Interscope, and began executive producing and co-producing the majority of her debut album. They lined up an impressive list of noted songwriters and producers to collaborate on the project including Polow Da Don (Usher, Ciara), Stargate (Rihanna, Ne-Yo), OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder (Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield), and Toby Gad (Beyonc, Fergie). The result is an edgy, soulful pop-R&B set that Esme says truly reflects who she is as a person.
Relatability was something that was important to Esme on her debut outing, which is why she was thrilled for the opportunity to co-write the majority of the songs. Her first single, “Outta Here,” sends a message of female empowerment through a hybrid of urban beats, pop lyrics and rock attitude. Sneak a peek into the studio to learn more about the Dutch beauty when she recorded the track with Justin Timberlake and Polow Da Don.
Justin Timberlake isnt the only one flying commercial these days. It seems that the six time Grammy winner and a lot of other celebrities share a very special emotional bond only consecrated high among the clouds while flying with Southwest Airlines. It seems that in the crisis state that the economy is in, more and more celebrities are trading in their costly private jets for a more economically-friendly way to travel. And hey, they get free peanuts! Everyone from Justin to Brad Pitt to Lady Gaga to Paula Abdul to William Shatner and even to Jessica Alba, has flown with Southwest.
Given that established designers like Vera Wang are turning their backs at NYC Fashion Week tents, its surprising to learn that Justin Timberlakes vanity fashion line, William Rast will be showing at Bryant Park next month. I guess hes taking advantage of less competition. Unfortunately for fans of Justins music, his reps say to not expect a concert at the show. JT is scheduled to be present at the show but there will be no performance. I wish he would just stop pretending and just give the people what they want. I doubt they will be going to his show to see clothes. People will go there just to see Justin.
Timbaland is coming out with a new album and it is once again filled with names you can only see on the A-list. Shock Value: Volume 2 is the follow up to his 2007 release and it is due to come out in stores on February 14th. Once again, the record features his most frequent collaborator Justin Timberlake. Justin Timberlake sings on the albums lead single Meltdown alongside Gwen Stefani. The song will be released to radio on January 5th. Other artist featured include Usher, Keri Hilson, Jonas Brothers, Madonna, Rihanna, T-Pain, Akon, Jay-Z, Linkin Park, Dr. Dre, Missy Elliot, Jordin Sparks, TI, Flo-Rida and Coolio.
After seeing steamy pictures of Rihanna and Justin Timberlake shooting the video for the Barbadian babes song Rehab, I cant help but say finally!. The music video was just recently released. The video was shot last month in Vasquez Rocks Park, just outside of Los Angeles. JT and producer pal Timbaland wrote the song and also contributed backing vocals in the bridge. Anthony Mandler directed this Rihanna video. He has done so for the tenth time! And as usual, it is amazing! Hey, if it aint broke, dont fix it. And his partnership with Rihanna as her director is working pretty damn well.
Justin Timberlake is being sued by a busboy who claims that the former boy band member doesn?t treat employees at his Manhattan restaurant Southern Hospitality fairly claiming that the joint didn?t pay him a legal wage. Felipe Ramales alleges in federal lawsuit that he worked for the restaurant for about a year. The suit says that he and other staffers didn?t get their proper share of a gratuity charge the restaurant automatically collected from parties with 6 or more diners. Ramales also claimed that he worked more than 40 hours per week without getting overtime. A manager at the restaurant says the tip allegations are false and all staffers made well about the legal minimum wage.

Madonna’s 11th studio album for Warner Bros. Records “HARD CANDY” is scheduled to have a global release on April 28th and a US release on April 29th, it was confirmed by her label. “HARD CANDY” (the follow up to Madonna’s “CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR” which debuted at No. 1 in 30 countries and sold over 8 million copies), has been described as a brilliant up-tempo collection of 12 songs in which Madonna remains ensconced in club mode but this time adds an urban hip hop beat in collaboration with musical partners Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes and Nate “Danja” Hills. The debut single, the pulsating “4 Minutes” will be released at the end of March. “The title is a juxtaposition of tough and sweetness?kind of like I’m gonna kick your ass but it’s going to make you feel good. And of course, I love candy” laughed the material girl. Madonna, a multi-Grammy-award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, cultural icon, world renowned stage performer, video visionary, children’s book author, director and documentary film maker has sold 200 million albums in the course of her unprecedented two decade plus career and is slated to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10th.
It?s not the Oscar?s but Justin Timberlake is still hosting some type of award show. It has just been confirmed recently that JT will be hosting the annual ESPY Awards show this summer. The ceremony will take place in Los Angeles at the Nokia Theatre on July 20th. The ESPYs celebrate the best and funniest moments in sports throughout the year. Of the job, Justin said ?I’ll do my best to deliver a great show, as I do not want to be roughed up backstage by these athletes who are bigger, faster and stronger than me.? I?m betting Justin was just named the host to get more of a female audience to watch.
But, hey, whatever works!
The new CD cover for Madonna and Justin Timberlake?s new single ?4 Minutes (To Save the World)? has been released. The single is their collaboration off of Madonna?s upcoming record ?Hard Candy? which will drop in stores internationally on April 28. What do you think about it? Is it hot or not? If you want to ask me, I say it?s not. It just looks too plain. I would have expected something louder. But I guess, much like the song itself, it?s all just in the hype only for you to get disappointed in the end. Both of them can do better!
Justin Timberlake created a phat video for his song “Run” with Gnarls Barkley. But you won’t be seeing it on television anytime soon.
According to the Associated Press, MTV has banned the video because of the strobe effects in it. Apparently, it doesn’t pass the Harding Test, which determines whether or not something will trigger epileptic seizures.
You can find the video in various places online, but you watch at your own risk!
Well its not an obvious match, but reports are saying that Arctic Monkies and Justin Timberlake are set for a musical collaboration
A source has said, “The Arctics and Justin met up one afternoon and discussed the possibility of doing something. It would be absolutely brilliant to see them working on stuff together. The Arctics have very wide musical tastes, as does JT. It would be a match made in music heaven.”
Stranger things happen at sea I guess. It would be interesting to see the outcome of such a partnership.
Justin Timberlake was spotted as he went out for dinner at Italian restaurant Madeo on Beverly Hills in Los Angeles on Monday. Noticeably missing was actress girlfriend Jessica Biel who is currenly busy in the UK filming her new movie ?Easy Virtue?.
Be on the look-out for Justin?s new Pepsi commercial which will debut the Sunday after next during Super Bowl XLII. The Grammy Award-winning R&B singer will also promote a yearlong $1 billion giveaway of MP3s, CDs, videos, consumer electronics and other items on Amazon.com. Amazon is sure to give Apple a run for its money with its MP3-format tunes.
John Mayer may be a douche bag but you can?t deny that he?s really good. The cocky singer just uploaded a new video to his YouTube account and the video is phenomenal. He grabbed his signature instrument, the guitar, and did his own interpretations of Justin Timberlake?s ?I Think She Knows/Lovestoned Interlude?. It?s really amazing. He was able to use his guitar for both rhythm and bass simultaneously.
But if you know of John?s background, it shouldn?t be surprising. He is classically trained on guitar after all. He?s bound to know all the tricks of the trade that makes us go ?wow?.
Timberlake is a rarity in the sphere of boy band alumni: he has pop cultural significance on a mass scale, and credibility with hard-to-please music fans. Amid an eye-popping stage setting, the US popstar ticked all the musical boxes. His exceptional dancing was not unexpected. Yet his vocal performance, as well as his competence on a range of instruments – guitar, electric piano, synth, and, to the crowd’s delight, keytar – was surprising and impressive.
Then there were the songs – Like I Love You came early, while Senorita was given an elongated treatment. The musical cues of Prince and Michael Jackson were palpable without being overwhelming. There were cheesy moments, but not too many. Cry Me a River, for example, the song reportedly written in response to his break-up from Britney Spears, was presented as a sublime pop song. Time was taken for a diatribe on magpies on the golf course, and for a round of tequila shots with the band. Then, finally, there was SexyBack.
Timberlake has achieved excellence by combining pop music, dance and spectacle. And with a show of this caliber, there is little room for spontaneity. Regardless, it will take something extraordinary to top it.
