Barnstable Brown partygoers revel in the 'Girls' and the vibe - 5/8/08

Soon, former 'N Sync singer and "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Joey Fatone arrived.

He said he keeps coming back to the bash because "not only is it a good cause to raise money for diabetes, but (also) they've (the Barnstable sisters) been really, really great every year. It's kind of like (being with) family, in a sense."

Proceeds from the gala benefit diabetes research in honor of Barnstable Brown's husband, David, who died in 2003 from the disease. Before Friday's bash, more than $7.5 million had been raised for the University of Kentucky's Barnstable Brown Pediatric Diabetes Research Laboratories and the Barnstable Brown Research Laboratory at the University of Louisville.

As Fatone mingled with the media, the theme song to "The Girls Next Door" -- Nasty Tales' remix of "Come on-a My House" -- began blasting over the speakers. The crowd erupted with cheers when Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and girlfriends Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson pulled up in a ginormous limousine with the trademark Playboy bunny logo on it.

Just before midnight, Hefner's group slipped out of the bash and headed to the Crown Royal Playboy Lounge at the Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center.

About the same time, Nick Lachey followed tradition and took to the Barnstable Brown stage with Drew. As they began their second song, Fatone grabbed a microphone and the three broke into a seamless rendition of Kool & the Gang's "Celebration."

Justin Timberlake Embracing Role as Host of Las Vegas PGA Tour Golf Event - 5/3/08

Now that Justin Timberlake has joined the likes of Arnold Palmer, Bob Hope and Byron Nelson as a host of a PGA Tour event, he appears to be quickly getting down to business. This year--and for at least the next five years--the Las Vegas PGA Tour event will be known as the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open (now affectionately dubbed by some as the 'JT Open', just as the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic is dubbed 'The Hope'). Timberlake is well-known for being one of the world's biggest stars, but not so much for his love of the links. He's a single-digit handicap, and is said to be thrilled with his new role. And so far he has been very 'hands on' in the planning for the Las Vegas golf tournament that will be held October 13-19 at the private TPC Summerlin, one of two Las Vegas TPC golf courses (the resort and public TPC Las Vegas is the other). Recently, Timberlake teed it up with Tournament Chairman Gary Davis and Shriners patient Katie Walker, took a 4-hour lesson in Las Vegas with fellow event committee member Butch Harmon, and played golf at the TPC Summerlin with his father, Paul, in addition to being involved in other tournament affairs.

Walker, now in college, was treated at the Shriners Hospital in Los Angeles when she was just a year old. Her leg was amputated and she received her first of many prostheses, and physical therapists at Shriners Hospitals taught her to walk. Shriners Hospitals for Children is a network of facilities in North America that provides superior medical care at no charge to children under the age of 18.

Walker, Davis and Timberlake teed it up at Riviera Country Club in California. Before playing golf Katie and Justin filmed a public service announcement for the tournament.

Justin Timberlake Thinks Miley Cyrus Is A Victim Of 'The Age We Live In' - 5/3/08

Long before he brought sexy back, starred in movies, became best pals with Timbaland or played the role of "the cute one" in 'N Sync, Justin Timberlake was just another cog in the Mickey Mouse money machine, logging two seasons on Disney's "Mickey Mouse Club."

He's also spent pretty much every waking minute of his teens and 20s living directly in the spotlight. And in that time he's managed to find himself at the center of at least one significant public controversy ("wardrobe malfunction" anyone?).

So, obviously, he can sympathize with the ongoing plight of current Disney star — and public pariah — Miley Cyrus. So when we caught up with JT backstage at New York's Roseland Ballroom (where he'd just shared the stage with Madonna), we figured we'd ask him all about Cyrus' revealing Vanity Fair and Internet photos. It turns out, much like the Material Girl herself, Timberlake thinks the entire issue has been blown out of proportion.

But unlike Maddy, he sees the Cyrus controversy as part of a much larger problem: the public's rather insatiable desire to tear down anyone and everyone.

"Of course they're going to pick [on] a wholesome, American, young female [for] the first sign of anything," Timberlake said. "Unfortunately, there's a picture of her that's published with her in just a blanket. ... And that's the photo, that's the catalyst. But that's also the age we live in. People want to take a photo, and that's who you are for a year's time. We've all become victims of that."

And to that point, he thinks that Cyrus' young fans aren't the ones keeping Mileygate going. In fact, they've probably already forgotten about the issue entirely. The real problem lies with what those fan's parents think (as one MTV News intern already pointed out here).

"I don't think people her age look at [the photo] the same way their parents do," Timberlake said.

And though he wishes the whole situation would just go away, he joked that he's cooking up plans for making a quick buck off it. After all, in addition to being a singer, an entertainer and an actor, he's also a business man.

"I'm gonna make 'Leave Miley Alone' T-shirts," he laughed.

Madonna Rips Through A Furiously Paced Set In NYC - 5/3/08

You've got to hand it to Madonna — she never does anything half-assed.

The Queen of Pop, whose album Hard Candy dropped Tuesday, pulled out all the stops at New York's intimate Roseland Ballroom on Wednesday night (April 30), dazzling the packed-to-the-rafters crowd — including Fran Drescher and Rosie O'Donnell — with an energetic, fast-paced, six-song set that featured a guest appearance from Justin Timberlake for Madonna's latest single, "4 Minutes."

It was an event better-suited for Madison Square Garden and one that these fans — many of whom probably had to call a sitter for the evening — won't soon forget.

The crowd cheered at the first few notes of "4 Minutes," which mimicked its video with a flashing countdown clock. After Madonna belted out the song's first verse, Timberlake emerged from a rotating pylon, wearing a white jacket and black scarf. It was the high point of the evening, and the production value of the performance was arena-size.

Madonna paused for a moment to reflect on the talent she's been able to work with lately, including Timberlake, Kanye West, Timbaland and others. "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world," she said, before dedicating her next number to her longtime fans — the ones she'd seen "sleeping on the sidewalk" the night before in line for tickets. She then played "Hung Up" from 2006's Confessions on a Dance Floor, followed by the disco anthem "Give It To Me," with pink and green disco beams pulsating across the crowd. Madonna danced like a woman less than half her age, and her vocals were at their peak.

Madonna's Justin party - 5/2/08

Madonna has revealed she and Justin Timberlake drank tequila and vodka after her New York show.

The '4 Minutes' singer - who stunned crowds at the free Manhattan concert when she welcomed Justin on stage - revealed she was feeling slightly hung-over after partying on Wednesday night (30.04.08).

She said: "We had to celebrate. We decided we both work too hard and have to have fun. I had a shot of tequila. I may have had a lemon drop, too! We 'tied one on', as they say."

The 49-year-old singer and her 27-year-old collaborator went to New York's exclusive nightclub The Box where they danced and drank with friends including Josh Duhamel, fashion designer Alexander McQueen and R.E.M frontman Michael Stipe.

Madonna also revealed she thinks Justin is the perfect pop star, adding to US radio show host Ryan Seacrest: "He's ambitious but not in an offensive way. He's incredibly responsible and he's good at what he does and I think he has a long future in front of him. He understands the insanity of being a pop star."

Dancing with the Stars Celebrates 100th Episode with Lots of Familiar Faces… - 5/2/08

Dancing with the Stars is known for its star-studded results shows. On Tuesday, May 6th, Dancing will be celebrating their 100th episode, which means the celebrities will be coming out of the woodwork.

"It's such an honor to reach our 100th show still going strong," said executive producer Conrad Green. "It's been great to bring dancing back to primetime with a family-friendly show. Our 100th celebration will bring back many of our favorite past stars for new performances, and is one of the most exciting and ambitious results shows we've ever made."

But, sadly, all good things must come to end… at the end of the night, one of this season's celebs will be eliminated from the competition, based on judges' scores and viewer votes.

Romany Malco hits the comic big time in Mike Myers' 'Love Guru' - 5/2/08

Romany Malco began a recent scorching Saturday at his "Love Guru" costar Jessica Alba's home and promptly attracted a rabid vehicular entourage. He had drawn the attention of the paparazzi -- but not for his own star power. The photographers had mistaken his passenger, Taryn Dakha, for Alba -- with good reason; she's her stunt double -- while not even noticing Hollywood's scene-swiping new comedy dynamo at the wheel.

If comedy remains king on the big screen, "The Love Guru," which opens June 20, will put Malco firmly in the royal court. Mike Myers' first film proper since 2003's "The Cat in the Hat," "Guru" reunites him with Verne Troyer ("Austin Powers' " Mini Me) and Justin Timberlake ("Shrek the Third"), who this time sports bulging underpants. Malco plays Darren Roanoke, a high school sweetie-toting hockey star who believes his own hype, strays with a supermodel and loses his gal to nemesis Jacques Grande (Timberlake). Guru Pitka (Myers) is summoned by the team owner (Alba) when her star's game goes off as a result.

Malco enjoyed making the film. Timberlake, he says, is "cool as hell. He's a superstar not by accident." Ditto Myers. But beyond that, the experience actually influenced his life and his future. "I met my fiancée on this film," he says of Dakha. "I'm a really philosophical guy, and I feel the universe does everything on purpose. But the first lesson I learned from Mike is follow your intuition and protect your art with your life."
