Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Lakers Lawsuit

Alex — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:28:47 +0000

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.

Miley Cyrus and Justin Timberlake Connection

Alex — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:59:07 +0000

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, she’s gonna be like Justin [Timberlake]. She comes from that same musical background, where she’s just got it. Her voice is just there. The best way to put it is she’s 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 Miley’s 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.

Justin Timberlake’s Metallica Connection

Alex — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:01:39 +0000

The woman accused of stalking Justin Timberlake has also once stalked Guns N Roses lead singer Axl Rose. But the two singers aren’t 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!

Justin Timberlake and Axl Rose Connection

Alex — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:17:18 +0000

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 band’s 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 Axl’s property. At the time, she told officials that she was Axl’s wife and communicated with him telepathically. Say what? The hounding didn’t stop with jail time though as the woman reportedly continued to send Axl letters from behind bars. Crazy!

Justin Timberlake honors the boss

Alex — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 05:01:52 +0000

The singer recently participated at the ceremony to honor RCA/Jive Label Group President Barry Weiss. And Justin Timberlake wasn’t 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, who’s to judge Justin Timberlake’s ability as a comedian? The crowd certainly thought he was good enough.

Esmee Denters In The Studio With Justin Timberlake

Alex — Fri, 01 May 2009 19:39:46 +0000

A mere two years ago, Esmée 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, Esmée was 17 when she began posting videos of herself on YouTube singing her favorite hits by Beyoncé, 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, Esmée’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.

Esmée’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 (Beyoncé, Fergie). The result is an edgy, soulful pop-R&B set that Esmée says truly reflects who she is as a person.

Relatability was something that was important to Esmée 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.

Southwest is In – Justin Timberlake

Alex — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:45:06 +0000

Justin Timberlake isn’t 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.

Justin Timberlake on Fashion Week

Alex — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:07:57 +0000

Given that established designers like Vera Wang are turning their backs at NYC Fashion Week tents, it’s surprising to learn that Justin Timberlake’s vanity fashion line, William Rast’ will be showing at Bryant Park next month. I guess he’s taking advantage of less competition. Unfortunately for fans of Justin’s 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.

Rihanna’s Rehab

Alex — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:32:05 +0000

After seeing steamy pictures of Rihanna and Justin Timberlake shooting the video for the Barbadian babe’s song ‘Rehab’, I can’t 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 ain’t broke, don’t fix it. And his partnership with Rihanna as her director is working pretty damn well.

Justin Timberlake Gets Sued

Alex — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 00:43:51 +0000

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.

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.

Justin Timberlake is a Host

Alex — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 17:43:49 +0000

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!

Justin Timberlake and Madonna?s Single Cover

Alex — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 17:02:48 +0000

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’s Video Won’t “Run”

Alex — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:47:34 +0000

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!

Musical Collaboration: Arctic Monkies and Justin Timberlake

Alex — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 21:12:54 +0000

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 for Amazon

Alex — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 21:39:51 +0000

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 Does Timberlake

Alex — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 23:02:29 +0000

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?.
