The Coen Brothers' 'Inside Llewyn Davis', starring
Justin Timberlake, begins filming in Queens next week - 2/2/12
|
|
 |
On Location Vacations, 2/2/12 --
As we reported a few weeks back,
Inside Llewyn Davis, the
Coen Brothers' next project about the Greenwich Village folk music scene
in the 1960s, starts filming in NYC on Monday and thanks to one of our
twitter followers, @Andresakademia, we already have the movie's first
filming location!
No Parking signs (due to filming) have been posted on
60th Street and Queens Blvd in
Woodside, Queens for Mon, Feb.
6- Thursday, Feb. 9.
The movie follows a protagonist loosely based on
singer Dave Van Ronk, a friend of Bob Dylan's. Oscar Isaac stars as the
title character while Justin Timberlake
co-stars as another folk musician, his wife will be played by Carey
Mulligan, and John Goodman will play a jazz musician who takes a road
trip with Davis. Most of the cast is in NYC now
prepping for their roles.
In other Justin Timberlake news, he has
recently signed on to star in Clint Eastwood's next film
Trouble With the Curve.
In the baseball-themed movie, "Eastwood plays an aging
baseball scout looking to mend fences with his daughter, played by Amy
Adams, while he casts for new talent."
Timberlake will play a rival scout in the movie, which
is also expected to begin filming in
Atlanta soon. |

Justin Timberlake On Deck For Clint Eastwood Baseball
Flick - 2/1/12
|
|
 |
MTV, 2/1/12 --
Who needs a music career when you have a bustling
movie career? Right, Justin Timberlake?
The singer has added another role to his growing docket of movies. He's
next set to star alongside screen legend Clint Eastwood in "Trouble With
the Curve." The guys will be joined by Amy Adams in the film, which
revolves around an aging baseball scout (played by Eastwood) who goes on
a road trip to Atlanta with his daughter (Adams) to check out a
potential recruit.
Timberlake is set to play Eastwood's friend Johnny Flanagan, a former
baseball player himself who is now a Yankees talent scout. Flanagan may
also turn out to be Adams' potential love interest.
Eastwood will not be directing this project. That honor will go to his
longtime producing partner, Robert Lorenz, making this his directorial
debut,
Variety reports.
Before Timberlake hits the set for this project, he's first slated to
star in the Coen brothers' next film, "Inside Llewyn Davis." MTV News
recently caught up with co-star Oscar Isaac, who shared his excitement
about the project, which is set during the folk movement in New York
City during the 1960's.
Though Timberlake won't be singing alongside Eastwood, he will get the
chance to croon in the Coen brothers flick. The music is being written
and produced by the likes of the Punch Brothers, T-Bone Burnett and
Marcus Mumford. "It's folk from the '60s — old songs passed down for
many generations — but new takes on them," Isaac said.
"Obviously we have the hindsight of now and so we kind of revisit these
old songs. They're hopeful and beautiful and in contrast [to] the life
of a folk singer, which is not very beautiful at all. It's very drab and
dire. It's a screwball comedy." |
Amanda Seyfried discusses Justin Timberlake - 2/1/12

Celebrity-Gossip.net, 2/1/12 --
She's been busy filming the high profile role of Linda
Lovelace, but Amanda Seyfried took time from her hectic schedule to
shoot the March 2012 cover of Glamour.
On why she would never date her In Time co-star,
Justin Timberlake:
"Oh, I think any female that meets him at first is like, 'I want to date
you.' He seems so perfect, but you get to know him, and he's a good pal.
He'll tell you what he really feels. But, you know, he's really famous,
which has its downsides."

Justin Timberlake coming to Atlanta for Clint
Eastwood film - 2/1/12
|
|
 |
Access Atlanta's The Buzz, 2/1/12 --
Justin Timberlake
will be in Atlanta soon, to work on the
Clint Eastwood film "Trouble
With the Curve."
In the baseball-themed movie Eastwood plays an aging
baseball scout looking to mend fences with his daughter, played by
Amy Adams, while he casts for
new talent.
Entertainment publications including
Variety and Deadline
are reporting that Timberlake plays a rival scout with an eye for Adams,
too.
While he's famous for bringing sexy back, the pop
artist is quite a good actor as well. He said taking on his role as
Napster founder Sean Parker in
the movie "The Social Network"
was a daunting challenge, but his fine performance was much
acclaimed.
We'll let you know when he's spotted here in Atlanta. |

|
|

Bloody-Disgusting.com, 2/1/12 --
Arriving on DVD February 21 from Screen
Media Films is Chad A. Verdi's horror film
Inkubus.
Inkubus, which tells the story of a skeleton crew working the
final shift of a closing police station, was penned by Carl Dupre of
Hellraiser: Hellseeker and Hellraiser: Hellworld, and was
filmed in Cranston, Rhode Island by the Woodhaven Production Company
with Glenn Ciano (Infected) directing.
"In the film, the night takes a gruesome turn when a demon named
Inkubus (Robert Englund) calmly walks in with the severed head of a
murdered girl. He allows himself to be restrained and begins to confess
his litany of crimes, but it soon becomes clear he has only come to the
station to spill more blood. The officers unlucky enough to be present
are fated to participate in and witness Inkubus' crowning achievement of
murder and mayhem."

the W Hotel; and he did a little signtseeing around the White House (see

'Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off' Finale Chooses
the Winner - 2/1/12
|
|
 |
gather, 1/30/12 --
Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri have finished the first
season of the Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off. As the
two-hour finale began, four celebrities remained: team Rachael's Taylor
Dane and Lou Diamond Phillips and team Guy's Coolio and Joey Fatone.
For the semi-final challenge, team members cooked
against one another, preparing a family style meal for their mentor's
friends and family. The meal consisted of an entrée, a starch and a
vegetable.
Guy's team went first. Joey Fatone chose to prepare
chicken, linguine and clams and a cauliflower mash topped with
vegetables. Coolio settled on salad with an apple, steak and cheesy
bread.
The guests loved both meals, finding Joey's linguine
and clams perfectly cooked and his cauliflower mash smooth and creamy.
The only complaint was that some of the chicken pieces came out slightly
dry.
In the end, Coolio and Lou passed on to the finals
while Joey and Taylor battled it out in blind taste test to win $5,000
for charity. Joey made a textured fried rice while Taylor went for
matzoh ball soup. The winning dish was Joey's.
For their last Rachael vs. Guy challenge,
Coolio and Lou set up their own restaurants, complete with decor, cooks
and wait staff and menus consisting of two choices for each of three
courses. To help them, teammates Joey and Taylor returned to handle the
front of the house.
The winner would be decided by the famous rating team
from Zagats. Based on comment cards from restaurant guests they'd assign
a rating between 1 and 30, with the highest rating winning the
competition.
After tabulating comments, the Zagat team awarded
Coolio's Chez Cooly's a 23 rating out of a possible 30. Lou Diamond's
Blessings received a 28, making him the winner.
Coolio collected $10,000 for his charity. Lou Diamond
Phillips collected $50,000 for Share Our Strength and the first win for
Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off.

My Super Bowl Moment: Past Performers Discuss Their
Halftime Shows - 1/31/12
|
|
 |
Billboard.com, 1/31/12 --
Each Super Bowl halftime performance is seen by
millions of people in dozens of countries -- as one of the largest
stages in the world, it's a bit of a nerve-racking opportunity, and one
that only a few musical artists have been given. As Madonna prepares to
take the Super Bowl halftime test, Billboard.com spoke with a handful of
artists who have already been there, and passed with flying colors.
10 Best Super Bowl Halftime Shows
From Roger Daltrey reflecting on The Who's American
invasion to Nelly reminiscing about Janet Jackson's "wardrobe
malfunction," check out what these artists remember most about their
Super Bowl Performances.
AEROSMITH'S TOM HAMILTON,
who joined the veteran rockers in playing hits like "I Don't Want To
Miss a Thing" and "Walk This Way" during the Super Bowl XXXV halftime
show: "It's the biggest thing there is. The whole world is watching. So
when the phone rings and the guy on the other end says, 'Do you guys
want to play the halftime show at the Super Bowl?', you're definitely
going to pay attention."
'N
SYNC's LANCE BASS
,
who joined Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Nelly, Mary J. Blige and the rest
of the boy band during the Super Bowl XXXV halftime show in 2001: "It
was very cool. When they came up with the idea of doing the Super Bowl,
we were like, 'OK, we gotta do it with Aerosmith. It's a great idea.'
They're one of my favorite bands in the world. We've known them for
years; they're great guys."

Happy 31st Birthday, Justin Timberlake! - 1/31/12

E! Online, 1/31/12 --
Oh, J.T., you've really grown up before our eyes!
From boy-band frontman to bona fide international
star, Justin Timberlake has
risen through the ranks of Hollywood. And today, the former teen idol
turns 31 years old!
This past year has been a big one for the Tennessee
native. He starred in three feature films,
attended the Marine Corps Ball, hosted Saturday Night Live—again—and
of course,
popped the question to longtime girlfriend
Jessica Biel. (Although the
brunette beauty is
keeping her ring under wraps. We want to see the sparkle!)
So happy birthday, Justin. Your true [baby] blue fans
know your career is just beginning.

Justin Timberlake's Hair-volution: Celebrating His
Birthday One Curl At A Time - 1/31/12
|
|
|
The Fab Life, 1/31/12 --
Justin Timberlake turns 31 today, and while we're
mostly hoping that with age, comes the realization that he owes the
world another album. What can we do to petition fiancee Jessica Biel to
get on our side with this? Well, while we hope for him to bring the sexy
back, some of us aren't so eager for the return of some of his style
choices of years past. JT's no stranger to trying out new 'dos and has
always kept us guessing from color to length. In his
'N Sync days,
Justin's two-toned curls graced many a girl's bedroom walls, but maybe
they need to stay there? These days, Justin's keeping it clean and
tapered with a buzz cut. And what do we think of his facial hair
experimentation? The Friends With Benefits star has sported a beard or
two in his hair-volution. Justin's ability to pull off these many 'dos
seems to be another of his many talents. So, join us in wishing him a
happy birthday as you
browse through his hair hits and misses. |

Justin Timberlake Birthday: Former Mouseketeer Turns
31 - 1/31/12
|
|
 |
International Business Times, 1/31/12 --
Even on his own birthday, Justin Timberlake is all
about his movies.
Early Tuesday morning, the former Mouseketeer, who
turns 31, took to Twitter to promote his latest film.
"Did you know you can get the @intimemovie DVD/Blu-Ray
tomorrow?" Timberlake
wrote.
Twitter feeds have also been flooding with birthday
messages for the former
NSYNC front man.
"Happy birthday Justin Timberlake . . . I remember
when you used to be a singer! Ha x," wrote celebrity blogger
Perez Hilton.
Born Justin Randall Timberlake on Jan. 31, 1981 in
Memphis, Tennessee, his aspirations to become a superstar arrived early,
thanks to appearances on "Star Search" and "The New Mickey Mouse Club"
(where he met Ryan Gosling, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and
fellow
'N Sync member JC Chasez).
After more than seven years in boy band land,
Timberlake released his debut solo album, "Justified," which went on to
sell more than 7 million copies worldwide. Four years later, he released
"FutureSex/LoveSounds," spawning hits like "SexyBack" and "My Love" and
earning four Grammy Awards.
Since 2006, Timberlake has starred in several
feature-length films, including "Alpha Dog," "Shrek the Third" and "The
Social Network." In 2011, he starred alongside former flame Cameron Diaz
in the comedy "Bad Teacher," as well as the romantic comedy "Friends
with Benefits" opposite Mila Kunis (a picture similar to the Ashton
Kutcher/Natalie Portman flick "No Strings Attached.")
Timberlake has plenty of reason to celebrate this
year. In early January, his own grandmother confirmed that he became
engaged to longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel over the holidays.
"He called me on Christmas Day and told me he's
engaged . . . the family loves Jessie. She's a very street girl,"
grandmother Sadie Bomar told
Gossip Cop.
His movie career has also upgraded, thanks to a gig
with the Coen Brothers. Timberlake will appear in "Inside Llewyn Davis,"
a folk music-heavy film also starring Carey Mulligan and Garrett Hedlund.
Here is a photo tribute to Justin Timberlake, birthday
boy. |
Lily Collins Reveals Her Hollywood Crushes - 1/31/12
|
|
 |
MTV Hollywood Crush, 1/31/12 --
One month, two magazine covers. You know
you've arrived when you're pulling double duty on the newsstand. Hours
after Vanity Fair's starlet-spangled Hollywood issue hit our
desks, we found ourselves face-to-face with "Mirror Mirror" star Lily
Collins once again, this time on the cover of Seventeen magazine, where
she's looking all kinds of adorable in a mini chartreuse frock. Inside
the issue, the 22-year-old talks about growing up in the spotlight and
paving her own path.
Of course, being beautiful has helped Lily
land some plum roles, but she also readily admits that having a famous
father (musician Phil Collins) didn't hurt either. "My last name may
have opened doors, but I have to keep them open," she said.
And keep them open she has, landing parts opposite some of the
industry's hottest, including Taylor Lautner and Armie Hammer. But there
is one drawback to working with such tasty man meat: Hollywood crushes
can be a little...awkward.
"It's weird to have celebrity crushes now because I could actually meet
them or work with them!" she lamented. "When I was younger, it was
definitely Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Titanic'. I had pictures of him and I
had
'NSYNC posted. I had the biggest crush on Justin Timberlake!"
Didn't we all...

Lance Bass developing celebrity yard sale series - 1/30/12
|
|
|
MNN, 1/30/12 --
Last year, Lance Bass has an idea for a website that
would easily allow celebrities to sell off personal items with proceeds
benefiting charities. "Like clothes and couches and paintings and
whatever like, it's a real yard sale," he told Metro. "And so fans get
to buy their favorite celebrity stuff and it goes to charity."
The former
'N Sync member named his site
Famous Yard
Sale, and while it's unclear whether the site was actually ever
launched, we now know that its seemingly destined for reality
television.
The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop, saying that Bass has teamed up
with production studio DiGa to produce a series based on the idea.
"You get a little bit of [MTV's] Cribs, a little bit of the Barbara
Walters aspect where the celebrity is walking down memory lane, and a
little bit of Pawn Stars," says Liz Gateley, co-owner of DiGa. According
to the site, the show will have a host and appraiser working with
celebrities to organize each auction. Famous names willing to
participate are currently being lined up while the producers shop the
series to networks.
"It has big set-piece moments, so it can definitely play on some of the
broadcast networks," says Gateley. "But it works equally well on cable." |

DiGa working with Lance Bass on 'Famous Yard Sale'
project - 1/30/12
|
|
 |
The Hollywood Reporter, 1/30/12 --
Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley's DiGa are shopping a
hybrid reality/scripted project with Jimmy Kimmel's Jackhole Industries
described as "Borat meets Green Acres."
They're also working with former
'N Sync star
Lance Bass on a television series version of his Famous Yard
Sale charitable initiative, which helps celebrities auction off their
memorabilia and other cast-offs including clothes, shoes, art and
furniture with the proceeds going to charity. Bass has already
registered the Famous Yard Sale domain name and Twitter handle. The show
will have a host and appraiser working with celebrities to organize each
auction. DiSanto says the idea came from Bass' personal quandary about
what to do with a warehouse full of remnants from his 'N Sync days.
"You get a little bit of [MTV's] Cribs, a little
bit of the Barbara Walters
aspect where the celebrity is walking down memory lane, and a little bit
of Pawn Stars," says Gateley. Bass brought the idea to DiGa,
which developed the concept and brought in New York-based Leftfield
Pictures, which produces History's Pawn Stars, to showrun.
Gateley said they're currently lining up celebrities
to be featured in the show. And while she said Bass would be happy to
fill the Barbara Walters-host role, that will ultimately be up to the
network that buys the project. They're currently shopping it to
broadcast and cable networks.
"It has big set-piece moments so it can definitely
play on some of the broadcast networks," says Gateley. "But it works
equally well on cable."

'N Sync's Lance Bass At Old Ebbitt Grill By The White

Glittarazzi, 1/29/12 --
We thought we were seeing things when we spotted
'N Sync's Lance Bass at Old Ebbitt Grill in Washington, D.C.
The restaurant is a fixture in our Nation's Capitol, catering to
lobbyists, politicians and tourists alike -- just steps from the White
House -- and the food is fab. Old Ebbitt is actually one of the busiest
in the USA (the bartenders there make six figures).
So, it was the perfect spot for Lance to dine with his friend after the
Amtrak train ride from NYC to DC. It's also super-close to his hotel ...
the W (which we love).
Good choices, Lance. Good choices. Enjoy your stay! |

Reality TV Obsessed, 1/29/12 --
It started with eight celebrity cheftestants
and now is down to the final four. In tonight's TWO hour finale of
Rachael vs Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off, we will see the finalist battle
it out in a culinary war to win 50,000 dollars for the charity of their
choice. The finalists include Lou Diamond Phillips and Taylor Dayne
competing for Team Rachael and Coolio and Joey Fatone competing for Team
Guy.
Before the premiere, we made our predictions that
Summer Sanders, Aaron Carter, and Joey Fatone would be in the finals. We
were able to get one of the three right! We are hoping to see our
prediction come true; however, Lou Diamond Phillips stands a strong
chance to seize the prize from Joey.
You'll have to tune in tonight to Food Network
starting at 9 pm to see who takes the "celebrity culinary crown"! |

DV-R Alert: "The TRL Decade" on VH1 This Sunday - 1/29/12
|
|
 |
Pop Dust, 1/26/12 --
Pop fans between the ages of 15 and 25,
prepare to relieve a crucial part of your musical youth—"The TRL
Decade," VH1′s RockDoc look at one of the most pivotal TV
programs from the last 20 years of popular music, is airing over the
weekend. The doc looks at the ten-year run of MTV's video request
countdown Total Request Live, which became familiarly and then
officially known as TRL. Within months of its 1998 debut, the
show became a must-watch among teenagers, made a star out of host Carson
Daly and helped make the teen-pop boom of the turn of the
century—Backstreet Boys,
NSync, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and
so on—the center of the Top 40 universe.
"The TRL Decade" will feature interviews with such key
players as Daly, NSync's Lance Bass, Kid Rock and KoRn—don't forget the
bands of nu metal and the rap/rock revolution were nearly as indebted to
TRL for their fantastic success as any of Max Martin's acolytes—and will
look back on the show's enduring influence, as well as some of the more
surreal moments from its decade-long run. (We only hope Mariah Carey and
ice cream will be involved somewhere.) You can even watch some preview
clips of interviews with some of the show's subjects—including Daly
recounting how he snubbed Lady Gaga back in the day ("How was I to
know that you were gonna be in an egg later in life?") and Kid Rock
sharing the code he had with the Beastie Boys for some of the cooler BSB
and NSync members ("GGBB—Good guys, bad band")
Watch 'em below, set your DV-Rs for VH1 on 9:30 this
Sunday, and feel impossibly nostalgic for a time when Carson Daly was
considered cool enough to date both Jennifer Love Hewitt and Tara Reid. |
Update on Joey Fatone's role in 'Lundun's Bridge and
the Three Keys' - 1/29/12

Access Hollywood, 1/26/12 --
Michael Jackson's children were on hand on Thursday
when the late King of Pop was honored by having his hand and shoe prints
put into the courtyard outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre, an honor the
singer dreamed of during his lifetime.
Paris, 13, is the first of Michael's children to
follow him into show business, as she gears up to star in "Lundun's
Bridge and the Three Keys," a live action feature film, based on a
children's book series by Dennis H. Christen.
"There are other live actors in it, but like, 'Pirates of the
Caribbean,' [which] had Davy Jones and all that, they're going to be
some animals or creatures in that look like that," she said of the film,
which also features the voices of Larry King as King Pom, his wife,
Shawn King as Queen Dalina, and Joey Fatone as Paco, a sea horse.

Justin Timberlake Is 'Perfect' In Coen Brothers Flick - 1/26/12
|
|
|
MTV, 1/25/12 --
"W.E." star Oscar Isaac is deep in musical
preparations for the next Coen Brothers film, "Inside Llewyn Davis," in
which he'll play the title character. In a couple weeks, Isaac and his castmates, including Justin Timberlake, Carey Mulligan and Garrett Hedlund, will be on set, but until then they are in the recording studio
putting the finishing touches on the film's musical elements.
After suffering during the recent recession, golf-equipment sales have
begun to come back in the past year. Sales of clubs and other hard
equipment—balls, clubs, bags, gloves and footwear increased 1.2% to $2.4
billion over the past 12 months at golf-course and specialty stores,
according to Golf Datatech LLC, a market-research firm. But Callaway has
yet to benefit. Its net sales fell slightly in the first nine months of
2011.
"Right now I'm gearing up for the Coen Brothers film,
which is all music-based," he told MTV News at the New York premiere of
the Madonna-directed "W.E." "So that's actually taking up a lot of the
musical creative energy. So excited."
Isaac, much like his co-stars, has dabbled in music, having put off
recording his own music to focus on the film. And with some assistance
from some big-name musical heavyweights, the music is destined to shine.
The actor said the cast is currently in the studio with Timberlake, the
Punch Brothers, T-Bone Burnett and Mulligan's fiancé, Marcus Mumford —
what he called an "amazing group of musicians."
"It's folk from the '60s — old songs passed down for many generations —
but new takes on them," he said of the songs being used in the film,
which follows the life of a New York City folk singer in the 1960s.
"Obviously we have the hindsight of now and so we kind of revisit these
old songs. They're hopeful and beautiful and in contrast [to] the life
of a folk singer, which is not very beautiful at all. It's very drab and
dire. It's a screwball comedy."
As for Timberlake, the pop star best known for his bouncing beats can
sing folk too. "He's perfect, really pure," Isaac said.

Bringing Sexy Back to Golf? - 1/24/12
|
|
 |
The Wall Street Journal, 1/24/12 --
Justin Timberlake, Callaway's Creative Voice, Sees
Vegas Stunts Adding Young Tone
Justin Timberlake has proved he can act as well as
sing. Now Callaway Golf Co. is about to discover whether he has a flair
for advertising too.
Mr. Timberlake, named in December as Callaway's creative director,
helped craft a new marketing campaign for the golf-equipment maker that
tees off this weekend. Timed to coincide with the Farmers Insurance
Open, a PGA Tour tournament that begins this week, Callaway is hoping
the campaign will get it out of the rough it has been in since the 2008
recession.
The marketing effort features golf pros such as Phil Mickelson and
Annika Sorenstam using Callaway products to perform jaw-dropping golf
feats on the Las Vegas Strip. One TV ad shows golfer Alvaro Quiros on a
floating platform on the strip, hitting a golf ball 310 yards over the
Bellagio fountain.
In another, several golfers including Ms.
Sorenstam hit balls from rooftop to rooftop along the strip. Helicopters
fill in for golf carts.
"We wanted to make a statement that was more rock 'n' roll," said Mr.
Timberlake, who has been a paid endorser for Callaway for several years
but isn't in any of the new ads. Mr. Timberlake worked with Factory
Design Labs, a Denver ad agency that began creating the new pitch in
April 2011.
A surge of young players has lately been getting attention on the PGA
Tour, such as last year's U.S. Open winner, Rory McIlroy, who was 22
years old at the time. Callaway—whose average customer is about 55 years
old—is hoping the ads will help it take advantage of that "youth
movement" and attract younger consumers.
"Being hip and contemporary has to be part of the marketing plan" in
order to attract new and younger golfers to the brand, says Jeff Colton,
Callaway's senior vice president of global brand and product.
Callaway, based in Carlsbad, Calif., reported losses in both 2009 and
2010 as well as for the first nine months of last year. It reports
fourth-quarter results on Wednesday, with losses expected to continue.
It is losing market share to competitors such as Adidas AG's TaylorMade,
according to Wall Street analysts.
After suffering during the recent recession, golf-equipment sales have
begun to come back in the past year. Sales of clubs and other hard
equipment—balls, clubs, bags, gloves and footwear increased 1.2% to $2.4
billion over the past 12 months at golf-course and specialty stores,

brand-e.biz, 1/23/12 --
Brands just can't get enough of musicians
when it comes to hiring creative talent. Polaroid boasts Lady Gaga as
its creative director, car maker Lotus has appointed rapper and DJ Swizz Beatz vp of creative design and global marketing – the artist also holds
the same position over at Reebok – and last year, Puma recruited
Professor Green as its Puma Social Ambassador, says Maria Stadtmuller.
Now, to help drive marketing and brand direction at Callaway Golf, none
other than Justin Timberlake has been given an
'advanced, creative
position' where he will deliver 'high-level concepts within Callaway's
marketing activities and offer wide-ranging consultation on the visual
representation of the brand'.
"Justin is an extremely gifted artist and an avid golfer with a deep
passion for Callaway products, and his creative energy will serve us
well as we connect with the next generation of golfers," says Jeff
Colton, svp of global brand and product, Callaway. "The opportunity to
bring someone with his multifaceted talents into our creative matrix is
very rare, and his input has already made an impact."
And Timberlake himself?
"It's always great when professional projects surround subjects that I
am passionate about, and the sport of golf and my work with Callaway
definitely fit that criteria," he says. "I'm looking forward to bringing
a fresh perspective to this category – focusing on the social aspects,
fun and lifestyle associated with Callaway and playing golf." |
What Every Entrepreneur Can Learn From Justin
Timberlake - 1/24/12
|
|
|
Addicted2Success, 1/22/12 --
Justin Timberlake is one of the most influential
singer/writer/producer/actors in the entertainment world today. With six
Grammy awards and four Emmy's under his belt, it is easy to put him on a
box and see him as a very successful entertainer, nothing more, but if
you are a budding entrepreneur you will be happy to read about his
business ventures and success outside of music.
What entrepreneurs can learn from Justin Timberlake is limitless if only
they are willing to learn, here we outline
Creativity adds value to business ideas
First of all, Justin Timberlake embraces creativity as one of the main
drivers of making a business project work and succeed. He observes needs
and examines demands for a certain product or service, and then pour out
creative inputs to create something that has never been seen or heard
before. He puts premium on the "ideation" of things and capitalizes on
that from the very start. His record label Tennman Records, is a
recording label that ties up with Interscope Records. He builds musical
success from unheard of music acts through creating a new sound "from
scratch". Tennman Records is known for its talents like Esmee Denters
(started out as a YouTube sensation), Matt Morris, and the band Fresol.
100% Involvement to the business is Key
Many entrepreneurs launch a business without any part of its planning at
all. Claiming success over a business venture demands a personal
signature from the one person who started it all. Without that "stamp",
an entrepreneur has no hold of whatever the business ends up with –
success or failure. To be successful, you need to be a hands-on
entrepreneur. You need to get involved from Point A to Point Z. It is
the only way to lead it best and get it to a level of success you have
envisioned for it from the very start.
Stick with the things you know and love to do
Justin Timberlake is best known as a musician. So his very first
business venture is a recording company. He also loves fashion, so he
takes on a company that is in that industry (William Rast). He then
diversify his business interests from there and started restaurants like
Destino and Southern Hospitality. This systematic approach to pursuing
business projects help Justin to build a money making empire that he
feels strongly about, and without a doubt, be very passionate to improve
on it over time.
Stick with people you know
Justin Timberlake's clothing company 'William Rast' is a high end denim
company that is managed and led by no one but himself and his good
friend Trace Ayala. Both shared passion for fashion and had undeniable
familiarity with each other in terms of taste and creative thrusts. This
brought in priceless chemistry which made the line a success in a very
short period of time
Give back to the community
What entrepreneurs can learn from Justin Timberlake? Be generous! With
his enormous success both in the entertainment industry and his business
ventures, he gives back by hosting charity events like his PGA Justin
Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. This did not only make
him feel good and invite positive vibes, this also made for a very good
PR intervention for his businesses.

'The TRL Decade' Sneak Peek - 1/24/12

|
VH1, 1/12/12 --
Lance Bass explains that MTV pinned
NSYNC fans against
Backstreet Boys Fans, which made for great television.
Watch the video at
VH1.
VH1 will give viewers a chance to relive all the
excitement of the screaming fans, unforgettable moments and music-loving
Times Square takeover that was mandatory daily viewing for so many with
VH1 Rock Docs Presents: "The TRL Decade.". "The TRL Decade" takes a fun
and provocative look at the iconic MTV video countdown show, "Total
Request Live," which aired for 10 years (1998-2008). Beginning as a
programming experiment, TRL became a cultural phenomenon, serving as a
catalyst for the pop music explosion of the late 1990's and launching
the careers of new artists including Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera
and many others. With a track record of dramatically impacting record
sales, TRL soon became the "must" stop on every artist's press tour,
routinely shutting down Times Square with visits ranging from Michael
Jackson to Jay-Z to *N'SYNC to Korn. While the fun was plentiful, there
were serious moments as well. The Backstreet Boys memorably chose the
platform to announce bandmate AJ McLean's decision to enter rehab. In an
era pre-dating Twitter and Facebook, TRL also became an important forum
for both artists and viewers alike to call-in and be heard after the
events of 9/11. This hour-long special features extensive clips and
interviews with creators, fans and artists who appeared on the show,
including Good Charlotte, Kid Rock, *N'SYNC, Mandy Moore, Nas, Pete
Wentz, Korn, Method Man, Lil Jon and others. Former MTV VJ's Carson
Daly, Damien Fahey, Hilarie Burton, Vanessa Minnillo and La La Anthony
also give in-depth interviews and share uncensored moments from the
show.
Check out when "The TRL Decade" will be on TV on
the
All For *NSYNC Calendar.

'Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off' Does Food Carts - 1/23/12
|
|
 |
gather, 1/23/12 --
Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off
went outdoors on the streets of New York this week for a food cart
challenge. It was two against three, with Guy Fieri's team struggling
one member short. Joey Fatone and Coolio faced Taylor Dane, Lou Diamond
Phillips, and Summer Sanders. Both teams got off to a good start,
quickly deciding upon a menu that included food items in three
categories; on a bun, on a stick, and in a wrap.
On Guy's team, Coolio already had a wrap in mind which
he called a "soul roll". Guy suggested Joey play to his strengths with a
meatball slider. For their third dish Fieri suggested bacon wrapped
shrimp with a spicy sauce.
With a menu in mind, the Rachael vs. Guy:
Celebrity Cook-off was off and running. However, team Guy struggled
when Coolio's complicated wrap meant he had little time left to help
Joey Fatone with the team's joint dish.
With Guy's team struggling, Taylor saw an opportunity
to gain more customers and encouraged hungry patrons to their side. It
worked at first. But then Joey caught on and began entertaining his
customers to keep them from jumping ship. The ploy worked beautifully,
quickly bringing their team from behind.
Joey's meatballs were a hit, as was the shrimp stick
he prepared mostly alone. However, it was Coolio's wraps that garnered
the most attention and brought team Guy to a much-needed victory.
Next week, during a two-hour finale, the remaining
four contestants get whittled down to two. One person from each team
will cook off for the title of celebrity chef and $50,000 for their
favorite charity.
Check out Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off,
Sunday night, 9:00 p.m. on the Food Network Channel.

Live Well Network, 1/23/12 --
A loud and proud Italian family from Chicago welcomes
Joey as they prepare an odd yet delicious recipe that's been handed down
to younger generations for years. The Cannistra
family has had this recipe handed down through the generations from
Nonni Cannistra's mother-in-law, down to her and now to her own
daughter-in-law, Cheryl. Even though Nonni has three daughters of her
own and two sons, it is the wife of her son Frank who has taken this
honored family tradition under her wing.
Frank and Cheryl Cannistra welcome Joey into their kitchen to meet the
gang. Cheryl married into the family and has learned to master one of
her mother-in-law's favorite recipes -- spaghetti with the fish.
The Cannistra family are a close knit with brothers, sisters, aunts,
uncles and cousins all gathering together to share in the creation of
this time-honored traditional recipe.
Nonni lets Joey in on the family recipe. She shows him how to chop the
fresh ingredients to add to this wonderful Italian dish. Jimmy shows off
his cutlery skills, chopping the garlic, parsley and green olives with
pimento.
Joey enjoyed the dish with the rest of Cannistra family.
Spaghetti with the fish brings this family together for holidays and
special occasions. Watch the full episode at

Durham, North Carolina, is known for tobacco, a great
minor-league baseball team and incredible southern food. It's also
becoming known as one of the best places in the U.S. for the
fast-growing Food Truck Movement. Joey spent the day with one of the
new stars of this exciting food-scene in Durham, The Chirba Chirba
Food Truck.
Meaning "eat, eat" in Mandarin Chinese, Team Chirba
Chirba brings high quality Chinese-style dumplings made from an
old-family recipe to the hungry lunch crowds of Raleigh/Durham. Joey
rode on the truck and worked the fast-paced lunch hour mob along side
the Chirba Chirba professionals.
Co-Owners Yin Song, Nate Adams, Ali Safavi and Chela
Tu came together while students at University of North Carolina. Their
love for Asian food and cultural connections to China prompted them to
go into business together.
Twitter and Facebook are a large part of Chirba
Chirba's marketing plan. They tell fans when and where the truck will
be on the social media websites. Follow

A huge group of stars and close friends toasted
legendary Broadway and film producer Marty Richards' 80th birthday
Tuesday night, including Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Robert
De Niro, Chita Rivera and Clive Davis. Oscar and Tony winner Richards
was honored by 600 at the Rubin Museum of Art. His late wife, Mary Lee
Johnson, was one of Douglas' cousins. Douglas gave a glowing 15-minute
speech in which he joked, "I've met cousins tonight I didn't know I had.
I've also met all of Marty's friends from The Bronx, and every nurse and
doctor that Marty or Mary Lee ever had." He also thanked Richards for
the opportunity he gave Zeta-Jones to star in "Chicago," for which she
won an Oscar. Douglas also told us, "He is family. He happens to be a
great producer and is a generous, funny, young man." Richards, who
admitted he'd had a "tough year" because of ill health, told the crowd,
which also included Tony Danza, Marla Maple s, Robert Zimmerman, Tony
Ingrao and Lance Bass: "I'm rich because I have such dear friends. I've
had a remarkable life. When I was growing up in The Bronx, I never
imagined a life like this. I may have dreamed it, but I never thought it
was possible." On a less serious note, Richards quipped, "I wish I had

Why Jessica Biel Isn't Wearing Her Engagement Ring - 1/19/12
|
|
 |
HollywoodLife.com, 1/19/12 --
HollywoodLife.com spoke to Aaron Carter at
the premiere of 'Haywire' on Dec. 18 and he confirmed that Jessica is
engaged to Justin Timberlake!
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are definitely on their way to the
altar and HollywoodLife.com has the inside scoop straight from the mouth
of Aaron Carter!
"Are you asking me because my manager has managed Justin Timberlake? I
mean I do know [the answer]," he said while laughing at the screening
hosted by The Cinema Society & BlackBerry Bold. "Maybe … he asked her to
marry him and he ordered a special ring that's not ready yet." Keep in
mind he said all of this while coyly smiling!
Justin reportedly popped the question to his longtime girlfriend while
on a ski trip in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. But Jessica was spotted at the
Golden Globes without her ring and Justin wasn't with her either!
But Justin's grandmother also spilled the news to Wendy Williams and
told her that she was told by Justin not to talk about it until after
the holidays.
This must be one special ring — we can't wait to see it! |
Where Are They Now: 'NSYNC Members - 1/18/12
|
|
 |
Ology, 1/17/12 --
Do you watch a classic TV show or listen to an old
song and wonder, "what happened to that person?" Welcome to
Where Are They Now, an Ology feature dedicated to finding out
what happened to some of Hollywood's former bright stars. This week, we
search the web to find out about the members of the ultimate boy band,
'NSYNC.
Justin Timberlake
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past decade, you know
what the band's sex symbol has been up to. But to be fair to his less
successful band mates, I'll recap. In 2002, the artist took his act solo
and sold 7 million copies of his first album Justified. He even
tried his hand at acting, proving that you only need a pretty face to
book a film. Most recently, Timberlake
proposed to his on-off girlfriend Jessica Biel. But I'm still
waiting to see the ring before I congratulate the couple.
JC Chasez
Although he failed as a solo career, Chasez has helped other artists
improve their music. He has written and produced for musical acts like
David Archuleta,
Matthew Morrison, and the
Backstreet Boys (that one must be a little awkward for
him). When he's not assisting singers, he acts as a judge on
America's Best Dance Crew. He also
saved a baby, but that's not a big deal.
Lance Bass
After hiding his sexuality for many years, the singer announced that he
was gay in summer of 2006. While this wasn't as expected as
Ricky Martin, it didn't turn too many heads. It did,
however, result in a bigger fan base. Sometimes it pays to be gay.
Joey Fatone
Surprisingly, Fatone has had a successful post-'NSYNC career. And by
successful, I mean he's not homeless. He appeared in several Broadway
shows including Rent, Little Shop of Horrors and The Producers, and
competed on Dancing With the Stars. Who knew this guy had
talent?! Today, you can find him competing on food Network's Rachel
vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook Off. As an Italian, be best bring home the

Chris Kirkpatrick
Or as you probably know him, the guy with the weird hair. Well folks, I
hate to disappoint, but he shaved off that cornrow-dreadlock hybrid and
toned down his crazy ways. In 2008, he competed on CMT's Gone
Country and came close to signing a record deal. Too bad
Sebastian Bach beat him to it. |

'Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off' Heats Up - 1/16/12
|
|
 |
gather, 1/16/12 --
The
Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off heated up last night with
members from each team going head to head in competition. The judges for
the evening were Scott Conant, Alex Guarnaschelli and Marcus Samuelsson
from Food Network's hit series, Chopped.
Each judge chose one of their favorite dishes for the contestants to
prepare. Marcus Samuelsson went first, choosing fried chicken. He said
he wanted it moist inside; crispy outside and full of flavor.
Guy Fieri chose Coolio to represent his team, while Rachael Ray went
with Lou Diamond Phillips. Both mentors conferred with their contestants
before cooking began. Rachel suggested Lou make a Worcestershire honey
sauce to give the chicken some kick. Guy suggested a hot sauce to Coolio.
Next, Scott chose spaghetti with a simple tomato-basil sauce. Guy asked
Joey Fatone to cook the dish for his team, while Rachael opted for
Taylor Dane to continue the Rachael vs. Guy match.
Being Italian, Joey thought he had it in the bag, especially when Taylor
lagged behind. She'd never made the dish before and relied heavily on
notes given to her by Rachael.
The judges loved that Joey put his heart and soul into his cooking.
However, they felt the dish was over seasoned, making it lose the
distinctive tomato taste. Taylor's dish was simpler and cleaner, giving
her the win.
Next the three players that had lost their round had to go head to head
for a chance to stay in the Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off. Their
task was to make a grilled cheese sandwich.
Cheech chose Gouda cheese, prosciutto and olive bread for his sandwich.
Unfortunately, the cheese was too hard and he over-buttered it, which
resulted in a greasy finished product.
Lou Diamond Phillips chose Semolina bread, prosciutto and an unknown
hard cheese for his sandwich. Unfortunately, the cheese refused to melt,
leaving the judges perplexed and disappointed.
Joey Fatone made a simple grilled cheese sandwich and finished it off
with a smiley face made from tomatoes and pickles. It was exactly what
the judges wanted. That secured him a place for another week.
In the end, it was Cheech Marin who was sent home. That leaves three
players on Rachael's team and two on Guy's.

RuPaul Sounds Off On Lance Bass's 'Tranny'
Controversy - 1/16/12
|
|
 |
The Huffington Post, 1/14/12 --
The new season of "RuPaul's Drag Race," which begins on January 30 on
Logo, is "Gaga-esque," with the competing queens displaying themselves
as "crunchy or monstery or moist," explains the drag icon and
entertainer RuPaul himself. "They speak reality TV so fluently. They
don't even have to be produced. They're ready to roll."
In an interview with SiriusXM OutQ and HuffPost Gay Voices, RuPaul
talked all about the popular reality show in which drag queens face off,
kicking off its fourth season, and he weighed in on other matters,
including the the latest queer controversies, offering comments which
are bound to have people talking.
On
Lance Bass's apology for
using the word "tranny," Rupaul says: "It's ridiculous! It's
ridiculous!... I love the word "tranny"...And I hate the fact that he's
apologized. I wish he would have said, 'F-you, you tranny jerk!'"

Mirimichi receives "Golf Course of the Year" Award by
Tennessee Turfgrass Association - 1/16/12
|
|
|
Mirimichi, 1/9/12 --
MEMPHIS: Mirimichi, Justin Timberlake's
environmentally friendly golf course in Memphis, has been selected as
Golf Course of the Year by the Tennessee Turfgrass Association. Dustin
Green, Mirimichi Superintendant, will receive this prestigious award in
Nashville this week. The critera for this award included innovative
solutions to turfgrass management problems, environmental stewardship
accomplishments, and, overall turf-grass best management practices.
Ecologically responsible methods are utilized to
enhance water quality and wildlife habitat, and to reduce water and
energy consumption. Native grass areas, natural waste bunkers, and
enhanced water features reduced the manicured acreage on the course from
over 200 acres to under 90 acres and minimized the need for chemical
applications. State-of-the- art irrigation and underground drainage
systems maximize the efficiency of water usage and reduce soil erosion,
while grassy buffer zones, wetlands areas, and aquatic water plants all
provide filtration to keep state waterways clean.
Mirimichi's owners and management team are committed
to setting a positive example for environmental stewardship and
innovated business management practices. The family's investment in
Mirimichi demonstrates a real hands-on commitment to supporting
Tennessee's environment and overall economic development.
This focus on green, sustainable management has been
the consistent priority of Mirimichi, culminating in being the first
golf course in the USA to be certified by Audubon International in its
Classic Sanctuary program and the first golf course in the North, South
or Central America to receive Golf Environment Organization (GEO)
certified status in 2010. Mirimichi is the only golf course in the world
to achieve both of these designations.

Haute Event: Zachary Levi & Joey Fatone Dine at Sugar

HauteLiving.com, 1/11/12 --
It was a real boys' night out as "Chuck" star Zachary Levi and former
*NSYNC crooner Joey Fatone dined at Sugar Factory American Brasserie
inside Paris Las Vegas last night with friends.
Levi lived it up, sampling the eatery's signature offerings, such as the
strawberry cheesecake ice cream sundae, a White Gummi goblet-sized
cocktail and a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup martini. The handsome actor
loved the candy-inspired cocktails, offering his friends sips of his
drink throughout the meal.
Fatone was all about the restaurant's classic dishes, as he enjoyed
dinner at the hot spot. The former boy-band phenom noshed on Sugar
Factory American Brasserie's ham and cheese crepes and tomato basil
pizza. Not wanting to leave without trying one of the restaurant's
wildly popular cocktails, Fatone washed down his delicious dinner with
an Ocean's Blue goblet cocktail, complete with whimsical Gummi sharks
"swimming" in the blue-hued beverage.

Dumpling truck gets TV spotlight - 1/11/12

newsobserver.com, 1/11/12 --
Durham's Chirba Chirba Dumpling food truck is being
featured in Saturday's season premiere of "My Family Recipe Rocks," a
new show on ABC's Live Well Network hosted by Joey Fatone, the former
'N Sync band member.
Chela Tu, one of the truck's founders, says the dumpling recipe was
inspired by the father of one of her business partners. Co-owner Yin
Song's father, Michael, is a chef who shared his dumpling techniques
with the foursome, who developed their own recipe, Tu says.
Tu says they had a lot of fun with Fatone, who worked on the truck with
them during a lunch hour stop at Channel Advisor in Morrisville. "It was
fun to be on camera and have a goofball who is just as funny as us," she
says.

Albums That Time Forgot: JC Chasez's "Schizophrenic" - 1/11/12
|
|
 |
Pop! Blerd, 1/10/12 --
While people left and right were fawning over Justin Timberlake's Futuresex/Lovesounds a few years ago, several
thoughts were running through my head. First was the fact that John
Mayer's Continuum (released the same day) was so much better
(as agreed upon by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences,
who gave Johnny the Best Pop Album Grammy over JT,) the second was "man,
this dude needs to take a lyric writing class ("Hi, my name is Bob/and I
work at my job" still makes me want to give JT the gas face,) and the
third thing was "Hey, didn't JC Chasez make an album very similar to
this a few years ago that no one paid attention to?"
When a popular group breaks up (and let's face it,
they almost all eventually do), usually one member goes on to solo glory
while the other members ease on down the road to nowheresville. It's
extremely rare that more than one member of a popular collective goes on
to hit superstar status. Yeah, Destiny's Child split into three pieces,
but does anyone really care about Kelly & Michelle? The odds are
inevitably stacked against you if you're not the focal point. Anyone out
there remember the albums Marlon, Jackie & Randy Jackson put out? I rest
my case.
*NSYNC was the come-from-behind boy band success story. Although The
Backstreet Boys had a couple years tenure on them, *NSYNC managed to
steal all their thunder, a point made even more resounding when the
group's resident hearthrob Justin Timberlake scooped up millions in
sales, hosted "SNL" a few times, won some Emmys and a couple of Grammys,
and bagged Jessica Biel, Alyssa Milano, Janet Jackson AND Cameron Diaz.
Sheeeit, screw the Backstreets, what the hell were the rest of the
*NSYNC team gonna do? JC Chasez' solo debut,
Schizophrenic,
should have been the start to a massive solo career, not the album that
turned him into one of *NSYNC's four Andrew Ridgeleys.
JC wasn't always *NSYNC's second banana. If you listen
to each of the group's albums, you'll notice that JC's role faded
further and further into the sunset as Justin took prominence. This is
despite the fact that JC is actually a better vocalist. While Justin is
an excellent melodic singer and has a smooth quality similar to "Off The
Wall"-era MJ, JC has a fiery, soaring voice that recalls the angrier,
more edgy version of Michael.
On Schizophrenic, the vocal differences
between the two were highlighted due to the differences in musical
styles. JC co-helmed most of Schizophrenic with his homies
Riprock & Alex G with fleeting assistance from Rockwilder & Dallas
Austin. The album encompassed everything from rock riffage to skittering
dance beats to smooth ballads, all held together by JC's strong voice
and his solidly PG-13 lyrics. Sound familiar yet?
JC flew his freak flag high on this album, and made a
much more believable horndog than JT on tracks like "Shake It" a dance
jam produced by British electronica outfit Basement Jaxx. Riding on top
of a rocked-out sample of a reggae reconfiguration of the disco classic
"Do It ('Till You're Satisfied)", this jam is definitely conducive to
booty shaking. Even weirder was the electrothump of "All Day Long I
Dream About Sex," a track that sounds like a distant cousin to Gary
Numan's "Cars" (with much more adult lyrics.)

The New Myspace TV Will Blow Your Mind - 1/11/12
|
|
|
Myspace, 1/10/12 --
There's been a major announcement from
Myspace at CES 2012 today, and you won't believe what is in store for
you! Myspace has teamed up with Panasonic, utilizing their Viera Connect
platform on internet-enabled HDTVs, and is launching a television
product like nothing you've seen before. You don't want to miss the
deets on this one.
Launching in the first half of 2012, but available to a limited beta
launch group (find out how you can sign up below), Myspace TV is going
to be focused on music at first. After all, Myspace does have one of the
most impressive music libraries of any website on the planet. With over
42 million songs, combined with over 100,000 music videos, the music
channels will be expanded to include news, sports, and reality TV, using
a combination of the most popular broadcast networks and on-demand
content.
.
As most of you probably know, Justin Timberlake is a co-owner of Myspace.
Here's what he had to say about the new product that will be rolling out
soon:
.
"It feels like forever ago that we'd all get together around the
set and watch the Cosbys. Along the way, TV stopped being a shared
experience, and just became something you consume whenever you have a
minute alone. But the problem is that people want to share and talk
about what's happening with their favorite shows and characters. Myspace
is all about creating an experience where people can connect to what
they're passionate about and connect with each other based on that
shared love."
.
Just imagine being able to find out what's hot, what's trending, what
your friends are watching or even what your favorite celebrity just
commented on – all in real time, right on your TV. Now imagine being
able to take that experience with you on the go with your laptop,
tablet, or smartphone. Yep, that's right. Myspace will be launching apps
that will provide an instant sync for a seamless experience. Watch TV
with your friends from virtually anywhere.
.
So how can you be a part of the exclusive, limited, beta test? It's
easy! Just head over to the
Myspace TV
announcement page and enter your info! It's as simple as that. But
hurry … the beta test is limited and by invitation only. Register today
for your invite!
.
You can also get a look at Myspace TV in person on Panasonic Viera HDTVs
by visiting the Panasonic booth located in the Las Vegas Convention
Center Central Hall #9405.
.
See? I told you it would blow your mind! What feature of this new
product sounds the most exciting to you?

Hairy Situation: Clean-Cut Men With Full Beards - 1/11/12

|
TresSugar, 1/10/12 --
Justin Timberlake took the stage at the Consumer Electronics Show in
Vegas today, perhaps an unlikely forum for the pop star. But it was
Justin's appearance that made us do a double take. JT, who moonlights as
a MySpace investor, was sporting a low-tech accessory: a full beard.
From
Justin's *NSYNC days to his acting gigs, we're used to seeing him
with nothing more than the occasional scruff. And he's not the only
typically clean-shaven celeb to hide his recognizable face under some
facial hair. Here are 10 hot men who have done the same.

Selena Gomez: I'd follow 'N Sync on Twitter - 1/11/12
|
|
|
Film-News.co.uk, 1/10/12 --
Selena Gomez would have "blown up"
'N Sync's Twitter page if the social network was invented in her
younger years.
The singer loves communicating with friends and fans using the site and
admitted she would have bombarded her favourite boyband's profile with
messages had it existed in their heyday.
Now a pop sensation herself, the 19-year-old described how much the
tweets from her fans mean to her.
"It's a great way to let people know what you're up to. If 'N Sync had a
Twitter back in the day, I'd be blowing up their Twitter like crazy,"
she laughed to USA Today. "I read as much as I can. Sometimes I don't
respond…I just read my @replies. They're sweet and encouraging."

Justin Timberlake's Newest Pet Project: MySpace TV - 1/10/12
|
|
|
MTV Newsroom, 1/10/12 --
MySpace got off to an early start at this year's CES
(Consumer Electronics Show) yesterday in Las Vegas with co-owner Justin Timberlake announcing the company's latest attempt at staying relevant,
MySpace TV.
"We're ready to take television and entertainment to the next step by
upgrading it to the social networking experience. Why text or email your
friends to talk about your favorite programs after they've aired when
you could be sharing the experience with real-time interactivity from
anywhere across the globe?" he stated in his presentation. (How about
watching television with your friends in-person? Whatever happened to
that?)
Apparently, the service will allow you to essentially watch a program
and share or comment with your friends online about it, whilst viewing
the content in real-time. You can also invite your friends to watch a
program with you and join online fan communities.
The presentation mentioned that initial channels will be music-focused
and get some good use out of the website's library of 100,000 music
videos and over 42 million songs. Although, it is noted that they will
eventually go beyond the world of music and work "to encompass movies,
news, sports and reality channels, with a growing lineup of today's most
popular broadcast and on-demand content."
Of course, an app of the service will soon be available on tablets and
smartphones.
"MySpace was the first successful social network because it allowed
individuals to share their interests, listen to music, express their
creativity and connect around the things they love," stated MySpace CEO
Tim Vanderhook.
No word on an exact launch date, but our advice to Justin would be to
make his next album strictly available through a special MySpace music
store. Now that would bring the website of yesteryear back to its former
glory.

Open casting calls in New York for 'Inside Llewyn
Davis' starring Justin Timberlake - 1/10/12
|
|
 |
Open-Casting-Calls.info, 1/10/12 --
The Coen Brothers along with Scott Rudin Productions and StudioCanal are set to begin principal photography on the music world feature film drama "Inside Llewyn Davis" in New York starting February 6, 2012. Casting is now underway for supporting roles, day players, extras, stand-ins and photo doubles for the film's stars. Open casting calls are scheduled for both union and non-union talent. Shooting will continue through April 3, 2012 with a theatrical release in 2013.
The movie takes place in the midst of the 1960s Greenwich Village folk music scene It follows a central character named Llewyn Davis - loosely based on the late singer Dave Van Ronk, a good friend of Bob Dylan's and other famous musicians such as Joni Mitchell, Tom Paxton, Patrick Sky, Phil Ochs, and Ramblin' Jack Elliott. Van Ronk received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers in December 1997.
Oscar Isaac plays Llewyn Davis, who is a hot-tempered struggling folk musician from Queens that can not seem to make ends meet, although he is a very talented guitar player and singer. Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan portray and husband-and-wife pair of musicians named Jim and Jean. John Goodman will play a jazz musician who takes Llewyn Davis on a road trip, since Llewyn refuses to fly and never learned to drive. Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham will play legendary folk musician manager Bud Grossman. Stage actress Jeanine Serralles has also joined the production.
In addition to producing "Inside Llewyn Davis", Ethan and Joel Coen will direct from a script they wrote partially based on Dave Van Ronk's memoir, "The Mayor of MacDougal Street". Scott Rudin, who also produced "True Grit" and "No Country for Old Men" for The Coen Brothers, will re-team to produce "Inside Llewyn Davis". StudioCanal is financing the film and handling international distribution.

Connect™-enabled HDTVs, Myspace TV puts viewers in control by allowing
them to discover, share and comment on the programs they're viewing.
Initial channels on Myspace TV will be music-focused,
leveraging Myspace's unparalleled music rights and leading library of
100,000 music videos and 42 million songs. Myspace TV will expand beyond
music, however, to encompass movies, news, sports and reality channels,
with a growing lineup of today's most popular broadcast and on-demand
content. Audiences will not only be able to view their favorite
television programs, but Myspace TV will also allow them to chat about
what they're viewing while they're viewing it and invite friends to
watch with them virtually. The platform fully integrates social and
television in new ways that add a dimension to content discovery and
evolve the traditional television experience. A companion app will be
available on tablets and smartphones, providing instant sync
capabilities for a seamless experience.
"Myspace was the first successful social network
because it allowed individuals to share their interests, listen to
music, express their creativity and connect around the things they
love," said Myspace CEO Tim Vanderhook. "Historically, TV has been a
shared experience, as people gathered together to watch their favorite
programs. Our belief was that we could enhance the TV experience by
increasing viewers' ability to connect to both content and each other.
By partnering with Panasonic, we're bringing together the content that
people love and a social experience in one service: Myspace TV."
Myspace co-owner Justin Timberlake added, "We're ready
to take television and entertainment to the next step by upgrading it to
the social networking experience. Why text or email your friends to talk
about your favorite programs after they've aired when you could be
sharing the experience with real-time interactivity from anywhere across
the globe? As the plot of your favorite drama unfolds, the joke of your
favorite SNL character plays, or even the last second shot of your
favorite team swishes the net, we're giving you the opportunity to
connect your friends to your moments as they're actually occurring. This
is the evolution of one of our greatest inventions, the television. And,
we no longer have to crowd around the same one to experience it
together."
Myspace TV intends to return the diminishing social
element of television by connecting viewers around content, simplifying
discovery by creating fan communities empowered to comment, rate, chat
and invite friends to view programming together in real-time.
Launching in the first half of 2012, Myspace TV's
over-the-top television service will be offered across the Panasonic VIERA Connect platform. VIERA Connect is Panasonic's connected TV
platform, which offers access to Internet-based video-on-demand content
and applications, ranging from news and fitness, to social networking
and online gaming. VIERA Connect requires no external box or PC1
and is accessed via a single button on the television remote control.

'Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off' Week 2 Recap - 1/10/12
|
|
|
Gather, 1/9/12 --
For week two of the Rachael vs. Guy:
Celebrity Cook-off, the Food Network stars mentored their teams
through a dessert challenge. Vying for $50,000 for their favorite
charities were actor, Lou Diamond Phillips; singer, Taylor Dane and
Olympian Summer Sanders on Rachael's team. On Guy's team were Miss USA,
Alyssa Campanella; rapper, Coolio; TV show host, Joey Fatone and
comedian Cheech Marin. Rachael's team entered
this week's competition one man down after losing last week's challenge.
This week her contestant had to prepare a dessert of their own and work
one together.
To make the challenge more difficult, each team had to
include as least one savory ingredient. Rachael chose it for Guy's team
and vice versa. She went for horseradish while Guy picked anchovies.
The teams had 30 minutes to compose menus. Alyssa
chose to make raspberry perfideroles with chocolate. Coolio decided to
prepare his grandmother's famous lemon cake. Cheech opted for poached
pears. Joey dealt with the anchovies. He chose to use them in a cannoli.
Joey struggled with adding wasabi
horseradish to two cheeses for his cannoli. In the end, the results were
satisfactory. To judge the prepared dishes,
Rachael and Guy brought in 13 graduating baking students. Overall, they
liked the prepared desserts; with rare exception. Some felt Lou's lemon
pastries were too tart. Others felt Alyssa's perfideroles were too
sweet. One called Coolio's cake too moist, but another said he was in
"pudding cake heaven." Another judge felt Joey's cannoli was "too much"
with the spicy wasabi and the tart goat cheese. One wanted more chilli
in Summer's fudge.
After tallying all the scores, the teams tied 26 to
26. That meant team captains, Alyssa and Summer, would face-off for
elimination. Instructions were to make a salad with a myriad of
ingredients to choose from. They had to include at least one cooked
ingredient.
In the end, Alyssa lost the challenge and got
eliminated. Now the teams are even again at three contestants each.
Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off
continues next Sunday night, 9:00 p.m. on Food Network.

CES 2012: Social Network, Panasonic Unveil MySpace TV
Service - 1/10/12

The Hollywood Reporter, 1/9/12 --
The social TV service, which Myspace co-owner Justin Timberlake calls "the evolution of one of our greatest inventions, the
television," will launch in the first half of the year and allow users
to chat about programs while they are watching them.
NEW YORK - Specific Media-owned social network Myspace
on Monday unveiled Myspace TV, a social TV service that it will launch
on Panasonic Viera Connect-enabled HD TV sets during the first half of
the year.
"Myspace TV puts viewers in control by allowing them to discover, share
and comment on the programs they're viewing," the companies said in an
announcement from CES. Viewers will be able to chat about what they are
watching while they are viewing it and invite friends to watch with them
and join fan communities.
Initial channels on the over-the-top TV service will be music-focused

songs.
However, Myspace TV will eventually expand beyond music "to encompass
movies, news, sports and reality channels, with a growing lineup of
today's most popular broadcast and on-demand content," the partners
said.
A companion app for Myspace TV will be available on tablets and

Check Out JC Chasez Moments Before Springing Into
Baby-Saving Hero Mode! - 1/10/12
|
|
 |
E! Online, 1/6/12 --
Sure, life's a beach. And then you go and save a baby!
Check out these photos of erstwhile
'N Syncer
JC Chasez, who seemed to be made in the hat-provided,
face-obscuring shade (trust us, that's really him under there) just
moments before he sprang into action man mode and
saved the life of a kid!
MORE: Get the mama's first-hand account of how JC saved
her baby!
As previously reported, the music man earned the
respect of moms everywhere on New Year's Day when during his relaxing
day at a Miami beach, a low-hovering helicopter sent a gust of wind
across the sand and sent a large sun umbrella hurtling toward a
1-year-old girl named Shirel Nissim.
Enter the quick-thinking Chasez, who stopped the umbrella and saved
this adorable little girl.
According to Shirel's mom—who didn't immediately recognize the pop
star hero in her midst, thus explaining the lack of the usually
requisite post-heroics photo—JC called her daughter "precious" and
"adorable."
And judging by the adorable photos given to E! News from the proud
mama, we have to agree! In the meantime, JC's rep told E! News that
the singer wouldn't be commenting on his heroics. Hey, these actions
speak louder than any words could, anyway. Way to go, JC.

Joey Fatone on 'The Daily Buzz' - 1/10/12
|
|
|
Daily Buzz Nation, 1/6/12 --
TGIFatone! I gotta say, we've had lots of great guests
stop by over the past 10 years, but Joey Fatone holds the title as
"one
of our best ever!" Most people know him from being one-fifth of
'N Sync, but we call him friend because he's so down to earth, you'd
never know the guy sold a bazillion albums with that little pop group!
We had been planning this morning's appearance for a few weeks to help
promote Joey's latest adventure. He's competing on Rachael vs Guy:
Celebrity Cook-Off on the Food Network. I told his people I wanted to do
a LIVE "cook-off" between Joey and Mitch, which only makes sense since
he's promoting a food competition show. Well they may have been slightly
worried about it, but we weren't 0- we know Joey and know he can roll
with anything we throw at him.
And he did! He reported for duty at 7:30am and after grabbing a quick
cup of our Daily Buzz brew, we put him to work! He chimed in on hot
topics (his favorite was a new Infidelity Test raising eyebrows). He
served up details on all his projects (not just the Celebrity Cook-Off
but his also his gig hosting the live stage show version The Price Is
Right – in Vegas, baby!)….then cooked up some good TV for us!
The challenge was this; Mitch and Joey were given a slew of sweet treats
to create what surely would have been a favorite Elvis treat (it's his
birthday week!) I stocked up on goodies yesterday: doughnuts,
shortcakes, bananas, peanut butter, gummy Life Savers, Nilla Wavers,
BACON, pretzels, you name it. Them we let them have at it!
After unveiling the secret ingredients live on the air, the boys had a
few minutes to strategize! Joey did plot his course of action during the
break, but Mitch seemed to take his inspiration from Joey's crush ("Punky
Brewster") at THE last minute! Our resident foodie, Andy (and by that I
mean he eats a lot of it and brags that his wife cooks it all :) was the
judge. In the end, he awarded Mitch's dish "best presentation" while
Joey's won for "flava!"
Until we meet again, I say…. BYE BYE BYE.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Engaged - 1/10/12
|
|
|
PEOPLE, 1/5/12 --
Jessica Biel may
have said only last year, "I was never one of those girls who dreamt
of my wedding and my Prince Charming," but it looks like she's about to
have both.
Biel and Justin Timberlake are engaged to be married, a source tells
PEOPLE.
The big moment happened while the on-again couple were in Big Sky
Country, on their annual vacation to Montana, according to the source,
who reveals Justin proposed with a "custom-designed" ring.
PHOTOS: Justin Timberlake
& Jessica Biel's Road to the Altar
Timberlake, who turns 31 later this month, and Biel,
29, celebrated the happy news with friends.
Only a few weeks ago, unconfirmed reports said the longtime romantic
couple were altar-bound, but the rumors proved premature.
Last year, the couple spent
time apart for several months after being together for four years,
since
May. They made their
split official in March 2011.
Still, over that summer,
Timberlake told Vanity Fair about Biel, saying, "She is the
single-handedly most significant person in my life. In my 30 years, she
is the most special person, okay? ... I don't want to say much more,
because I have to protect things that are dear to me – for instance,
her."
By the following September, the two were back on and
publicly affectionate together again.
When they were spotted having brunch last fall in a Colorado mountaintop
bar, an onlooker told PEOPLE, "There was plenty of P.D.A., and they
seemed happy." Other sightings soon followed
in Las Vegas,
in New York and
in Hollywood. |
Justin Timberlake doesn't just love golf, he lives it - 1/10/12
|
|
|
GOLF.com, 1/5/12 --
Justin Timberlake joined his first club when he was 12,
embracing its prim customs and tidy dress codes. But enough about his
time as a Mouseketeer.He's a grown man now,
not a child-performer; a 30-year-old pop and movie star and avid
golfer who has traded his mouse ears for a logoed cap and a collared
shirt. "There aren't many places I can go where I don't feel like I'm
being watched," Timberlake says. "But the golf course is one of them.
It's my refuge. It's where I get a chance to be alone in the world."
His 6-handicap and celebrity status make him
something of a modern-day Bing Crosby: a serious stick with mega
drawing power. His name appears on a PGA Tour event (the Justin
Timberlake Shriners Open) and atop private lockers (he's a member at
Liberty National in New Jersey and Lakeside Golf Club in Los Angeles).
It's even on the deed of a Memphis-area course, which he purchased,
with his stepdad, in 2007.
Bankrupt when he bought it, Big Creek Golf Course
came with a personal connection: It was the course on which he had
learned to play. With Timberlake's backing, it has been reborn as
Mirimichi (a Native American word for "place of happy retreat"), an
eco-friendly layout that has racked up honors for environmental
stewardship as quickly as its owner collects Grammy Awards.
During a recent swing through his hometown,
Timberlake dropped by Mirimichi for a casual round and a wide-ranging
conversation about the game he loves.
"I could talk golf all day," he said.
Join the club.
My first advice to anyone who is thinking
about buying a golf course is: Don't do it.
But if you're going to do it, don't do it because you think you're
going to make money. Do it for the love. Do it because you want to
give people a memorable experience. Mirimichi is close to my heart for
obvious reasons. This is where I grew up playing. When it fell into
financial trouble, I saw an opportunity to create something special
and give back to the community at the same time. The idea of this
course going under and becoming a housing development, I just couldn't
live with that.
Ever since Tiger started slumping it seems
like attendance on Tour has shot down.
People came out to see Tiger because they wanted to see greatness, and
he delivered it reliably. It was the same effect Michael Jordan had on
basketball. Guys like them don't come along every day, but it seems
like golf is waiting for that player to arrive. At the same time, with
each generation, a little more rock and roll gets infused into golf,
and that's a good thing, especially when you look at guys like Rickie
Fowler and Dustin Johnson, who are bringing a different vibe to the
course. Golf with a bit of swagger. That's a draw for the younger
generation and a reminder that from a spectator standpoint, the more
fun we can make it, the better.
My favorite post-round drink is usually a
beer. And if it's going to be a beer,
it's probably going to be a Stella. Depending on my mood, it might
also be a cocktail. In that case, a gin and tonic. With a lemon, not a
lime.

JC Chasez Saves a Baby on a Beach - 1/10/12
|
|
 |
PEOPLE, 1/5/12 --
Spider-Man himself couldn't have done a
better job.
America's Best Dance Crew judge JC Chasez proved himself a hero
on New Year's Day on a Miami beach when he saved the life of a
1-year-old girl after a helicopter flying too close to the ground sent
an umbrella flying across the sand.
Those in the line of fire included little Shirel, her mother, Netali
Nissim, and their family.
"Shirel is safe because of him," Nissim, an Italian jeweler, told PEOPLE
through her rep. "I want to tell him thank you from the bottom of my
heart. If it had not been for him, my daughter could have been seriously
hurt."
According to the
New York Post, which first reported the incident, the former
'N
Sync star, 35, and his girlfriend Nicole were on the beach adjacent to
the Fontainebleau when the chopper started kicking up the winds. Acting
quickly, Chasez was able to grasp the umbrella before it struck the
child. |
Justin Timberlake's Grandma Confirms Jessica Biel
Engagement - 1/5/12
|
|
 |
MTV, 1/5/12 --
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel
might not be speaking up about their alleged engagement, but that
doesn't mean Timberlake's grandma can't weigh in!
Sadie Bomar confirmed the news to
Gossip Cop, saying, "He called me on Christmas Day and told me he's
engaged." She added that her superstar grandson gave her strict orders
to keep quiet "until after the holidays."
Bomar added that she's "so happy" for the couple and
that Biel has her thumbs-up. "The family loves Jessie," she said. "She's
a very sweet girl."
Despite earlier reports that the two had gotten
engaged in Wyoming, Bomar said they were actually in Montana at the
time. Sources told
People magazine that the twosome were in Big Sky Country
vacationing when he asked her to marry him with a "custom-designed"
ring.
Bomar has been making the media rounds since the news
broke Wednesday. She also confirmed the engagement to
"The Wendy Williams Show," saying "she's very excited for them."
Timberlake and Biel began dating in 2007 and broke up
briefly in 2011 before getting back together later that year. In 2011,
Timberlake opened up a bit about his feelings for Biel to Vanity
Fair. "She is the single-handedly most significant person in my
life. In my 30 years, she is the most special person, OK?" he said. "I
don't want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are
dear to me — for instance, her."
When asked about having to deal with all the attention
the pair have received over the years, Biel told Vogue, "I don't
want to talk about it. I don't feel the need to clear anything up. It's
the most precious thing that I have in my life, and I care about it so
much that I don't care about what anyone says or thinks. I have just not
addressed it in any real way, and I'm not going to. It's mine. And I
really like that about it." |

Source: Justin Timberlake Taking Elton John
Movie Offer "Very Seriously" - 1/4/12
|
|
 |
E! Online, 1/4/12 --
Well, our dreams of Justin Timberlake bringing "sexy"
back to the music biz probably won't happen anytime soon. At least not
for tunes that don't come hand-in-hand with a big-screen feature.
Like say, that Elton John biopic, Rocketman?! Well, that is if Elton has
his way. In
an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Elton revealed that
Timberlake is "No. 1 on [his] wish list," gushing that J.T. "played me
before and was superb."
So is Justin ready to get his "Tiny Dancer" on?
Stand by, because a very official response will be coming from
Camp Timberlake momentarily.
"Justin is taking it very seriously," a source close
to the singer-turned-thespian tells us. "He's working with his people to
figure out exactly how to respond."
Well we've got the answer for you, Justin: hell
yes! We've only been
saying it since, like, forever.
We know J.T. is way into the big screen
business these days and after a so-so (which is being generous) showing
with his latest movie, In Time, the Elton pic could be exactly
what Justin needs to be considered more for his acting by say...the
Academy!
Because the movie already has tons of Oscar-baiting
staples: It's written by Oscar winner
Lee Hall (Billy Elliot), it's in the same "surreal"
vein as Oscar-nominated Moulin Rouge! (though Elton confirmed
director Baz Luhrmann isn't
attached), and it's based off real-life events—specifically a gay man
who dabbled in drugs and rehab, all of which are definite Academy faves.
Oh, and if playing out some guy-on-guy action has
Justin second guessing the role, remember, J.T., that you'd be playing
bisexual. Elton was engaged twice and married once (for like
two seconds) to women, after all.
Heck, as Elton said, Justin already played him in his
music video "This Train Don't Stop Here Anymore." So the research for
the role should be fairly easy.
The only problem we see is Justin's increasingly busy
filming schedule, as he's signed on to play a record label honcho in
Spinning Gold and was offered the role of Dave Van Ronk in
the next Coen Brothers film.
But we assume he can make some time for Elton John, of
all people. |
JC Chasez saves baby from falling umbrella at
Fontainebleau - 1/4/12

|
 |
The New York Post, 1/4/12 --
Former
N'Sync boy-bander JC Chasez was a hero saving a
baby in Miami Beach on New Year's Day. A helicopter flew so close to the
beach in front of the Fontainebleau that the umbrellas in the sand flew
up from the force of the rotors. One parasol began hurtling toward a
stroller carrying a 1-year-old baby girl. Chasez sprung into action and
grabbed the umbrella before it fell onto the child. Hotel security
confirmed the incident, and sources say Chasez was "sweet and humble"
about his heroics. The night earlier, Chasez had partied at a
Fontainebleau private bash hosted by "Gossip Girl" star Chace Crawford.

Lance Bass at LeBron James's birthday party - 1/4/12
|
|
|
Sunshine Slate, 1/3/12 --
[Miami Beach, FL] Miami Heat star LeBron James is
getting married. The basketball behemoth recently popped the question on
New Year's Eve, which actually served as a trio of celebrations for the
chosen one: NYE, his 27th birthday and his proposal to long-time
girlfriend Savannah Brinson.
It all went down at the silky smooth Shelborne South Beach hotel, which
recently underwent a two-year, $20 million rejuvenation. The hotel's new
Vesper American Brasserie restaurant was the stage for James'
shimmering, on bended knee proposal to Brinson who said … yes.
James' star-studded affair included a bevy of A-listers (fellow
teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh as well as Queen Latifah, actress
Sanaa Lathan, rapper Fat Joe, Lance Bass, supermodel Jessica White and
actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler) and featured an hour of top-shelf
entertainment, courtesy of fabulous singer Ms. Lauryn Hill (you know,
from The Fugees) and rapper NAS.
Wait, Lance Bass?
As for the birthday portion of the party, Lebron James
was presented with a towering birthday cake that was "draped in
swarovski crystals and edible 18 carat gold."
James also conducted the NYE countdown with Bosh and Wade along with
Shelborne owners Keith Menin and Jared Galbut, who couldn't have asked
for a better year-ender to highlight the iconic South Beach play place's
new-found glory.
Shelborne South Beach, owned and operated by Menin Hotels, is a
1940s-era art deco masterpiece that "features an unparalleled view of
the Atlantic Ocean" and "South Beach's most stunning beachfront
playground," according to the hotel's press materials.
We haven't actually been to the swanky, refurbished Shelborne South
Beach so we can't really verify those statements, but if it is good
enough for LeBron James, NAS and Lance Bass, I'm sure we'll find it to
your satisfaction.

Elton John: 'I want Justin Timberlake to play me in
biopic' - 1/3/12
|
|
 |
NME, 1/2/12 --
Elton John has revealed that he
wants Justin Timberlake to play him in a biopic of his life.
In an interview with the
LA Times, the singer confirmed that his Rocketman project
with Billy Elliot author Lee Hall was still "very much in the
works", and said that Timberlake was his "number one" choice to portray
him on the big screen.
"We're making an announcement about that very, very soon," said John
when asked about the film. "We have a director on board, and then it's
just going to be a matter of getting the script exactly the way we want
it. Lee Hall has written a script – he wrote Billy Elliot - and
then we'll start trying to cast and plan."
When asked who would be playing him, meanwhile, he replied:
I don't know. I've got a wish list of people. No. 1
on my wish list is Justin Timberlake, because he played me before in a
David LaChapelle video of 'Rocket Man' and was superb.
It was announced in September that
Elton
John
would
serve as the executive producer on Rocketman. The film is
expected to use musical sequences, centred on the singer's hits, to tell
the story of a child prodigy who became a global star, and is the second
collaboration between the singer and Hall after they worked together on
the musical adaptation of Billy Elliot.
In November, meanwhile, Justin Timberlake insisted that he
was not ignoring his music career in favour of his acting projects.
He has been linked with a role in a new movie from the Coen Brothers,
Inside Llewyn Davis, which is set across the backdrop of the 1960s
folk music scene in New York.

Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off Begins - 1/3/12
|
|
|
gather, 1/2/12 --
Two cooking giants -- Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri --
faced off last night in the very first Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity
Cook-off. However, they didn't do it alone. Eight celebrities
joined them, forming two teams of four.
On Guy's team were Miss USA, Alyssa Campenella; singer
and show host, Joey Fatone; comedian and actor, Cheech Marin; and
rapper, Coolio. On Rachael's team were pop star, Aaron Carter; actor and
writer, Lou Diamond Phillips; gold medal Olympian, Summer Sanders and
singer, Taylor Dane.
Each celebrity is playing to win $50,000 for their
favorite charities. Campanella plays for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Aaron Carter plays for Kids Beating Cancer. Coolio's charity is Music
Saves Lives. Dane plays for the Cambodian Children's Fund. Joey Fatone
supports the Fatone Family Foundation. Marin plays for the Hispanic
Scholarship Fund. Phillips supports No Kid Hungry. Lastly, Sanders plays
for Right to Play.
For their first challenge, the celebrities each had to
make a dish for 150 people as well as entertain at the first ever
Cook-off Food Festival. Team Rachael decided to go Hot in the City with
a quartet of spicy foods.
Team Guy went with Mexican dishes. They also prepared
a quartet of spicy foods as well.
Alyssa made a Mexican version of bananas foster.
Unfortunately the ice cream melted before the guests could enjoy it
fully.
Joey made spicy shrimp kabob. They were a huge hit as
well.
For entertainment, the team had guests take shots at a
piñata for a chance at a kiss from Miss USA or from Joey Fatone. The
stars also posed for pictures.
In the end, the teams separated by only 14 points.
Team Guy won, putting the two lowest scoring members of team Rachael up
for elimination.
Aaron Carter and Taylor Dane had 10 minutes to prepare
a dish for a blind taste test by judges Rachael and Guy. Their secret
ingredient was shrimp.
Oddly, both went for shrimp and pasta. However, Taylor
added bread crumbs to her dish for extra texture. That put over the top
for the judges and cost Aaron his chance to win $50,000 for his favorite
charity.
Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off
continues next Sunday, 9:00 p.m., on Food Network.

Justin Timberlake: Fans mean more than awards -
1/3/12
|
|
 |
Film-News.co.uk, 12/31/11 --
Justin Timberlake says receiving praise from his fans
is his "greatest reward".
The star is often asked whether it is important for him to win awards
for his music and acting achievements.
In his career so far the 30-year-old has already won six Grammy awards
and four Emmys.
Justin has recently taken a break from singing and starred in movies
such as The Social Network, Friends with Benefits and In Time.
Many want to know if he is now craving an Oscar.
Although the star admitted that he likes winning prizes, what he really
wants is for people to enjoy his work.
"Since I started with my solo career I get asked whether I like winning
awards. Honestly, who wakes up in the morning, thinking 'I hope I'll
never win the Oscar or a Grammy?' But that shouldn't be the reason
you're doing your job," he told German magazine In. "I want my audience
to respond. If someone comes and talks to me on the street, saying that
they like my work – that's the greatest reward."

Justin Timberlake & Some Of The Big Winners At The
Box Office 2011 - 1/3/12
|
|
|
Indiewire, 12/30/11 --
There was no pattern of box office success for 2011.
One could point to the audience rejecting obvious pandering nerd bait
like "Cowboys & Aliens," but then how does that explain "Transformers:
Dark of the Moon"? People can celebrate R-rated comedies, but what does
that mean for "The Change-Up"? Few leading men and women appeared often
in 2011, as it was a year dependent on concepts (mostly pre-established)
as opposed to marquee names. And a lot of those new names are wise,
lining up smaller projects in the coming year to diversify their
portfolio rather than boost their paychecks.
With box office numbers largely settled for 2011, here's a look back at
some of the winners (at least in dollars) of the past twelve months.
Justin Timberlake
Quick: name the one actor who had three $100 million films in 2011. If
you guessed the 21st century incarnation of Frank Sinatra, well, we'd
probably slap you in the face, because that's disgraceful. But if you
said "Justin Timberlake" then congratulations! You may not know a single
person who saw "Friends With Benefits" or "In Time," but both were huge
overseas, collecting worldwide totals of $149 million and $133 million,
respectively. And a supporting role in "Bad Teacher" yielded $216
million worth of ticket sales, as he figured prominently in the film's
ad campaign. Factor in 2010's "The Social Network" and "Yogi Bear" and
suddenly the former
N*Sync member (NEVER FORGET) has a streak of five
straight $100 million films. With the exception of "Bad Teacher," none
of these were genuine out-of-the-box smashes, but he's sure looking a
lot more bankable than the guy who beat him out for "Green Lantern,"
Ryan Reynolds.

Rachael & Guy bring spice to table on 'Celebrity
Cook-Off" - 12/31/11
|
|
|
USA TODAY, 12/28/11 --
There's the old chestnut that reality TV is fake. But
then there's Rachael Vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off, on which Taylor Dayne
gets real about her fake hair.
The '80s pop star "was cooking and she had extensions
in her hair and they got annoying," recalls Rachael Ray, who co-hosts
the six-episode Food Network series, premiering Sunday (9 p.m. ET/PT).
"She popped her hair out in the kitchen and threw it underneath the
counter — like, cameras rolling, pots aflame."
The recipe for a celebrity reality show seems obvious enough: Scoop up a
motley mix of B- and C-listers, toss them into a competition and cook up
drama. But Ray swears that while shooting this frying-pan faceoff among
eight amateur chefs — a breakfast club of singers, actors, an athlete, a
rapper and a beauty queen — there were no divas.
"People aren't having meltdowns or cussing at each other or throwing
stuff or sabotaging," says Ray, sitting in the dressing room on the set
of her other job, her daytime talk show. "This is legit and it is so
insanely intense," watching them work down to the chicken bone.
Not for amateurs
And oh — these star TV stars are skilled at slicing and sauteing, as
opposed to, say, those who fumble their way through the foxtrot for the
first time. "These are people who really do love food, people that
really do cook," says co-host (really, co-coach) Guy Fieri, who is in
town to tape Rachael Ray. "This is what trumps it."
Coolio, for instance, whose kitchen cred comes courtesy of his grandma,
has "mad skills for sauces," Ray says. Joey Fatone's Italian cooking
ability stretches back to his childhood. And Cheech Marin tends fig
trees and huge gardens and "does an enormous amount of cooking," she
says. And yes, Ray reports, plenty of jokes were made about his no doubt
enormous appetite.
"They're doing something that they love," which means "their real
personalities really slip out," Ray says.
"They really, really tried," Ray says. "They worked their butts off for
weeks."

What Will Our Favorite Hot Guys Be Up To In 2012? - 12/31/11
|
|
|
MTV Newsroom, 12/28/11 --
The new year means that some of the hottest ... we
mean our favorite ... male musicians will be busy once more after
the ball drops on New Year's Eve and everything gets back to normal.
As 2011 comes to a close, MTV Newsroom is looking ahead and rounding up
what some of the studliest fellas in the music biz have planned for the
coming months. What will the Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, Drake,
Foster The People and even Justin Timberlake be up to in the next twelve
months? Well, you asked and we got the answers!
Justin Timberlake
While much of Timberlake's career of late has been focused on his acting
career, when a charity drive posting hit the 'net teasing a possible
plan for a tour for the pop superstar, fans immediately began to wonder
if the former
NSYNC-er had put
music back on the plate. Well, we hope that 2012 gives us something
to listen to, Timberlake. Side note: He's also
attached to some films like "Inside Llewyn Davis" as well as
"Spinning Gold" (both set in the music industry).

Rachael Ray & Guy Fieri lead celebrities in TV
competition to be the best cooks - 12/27/11
|
|
|
The New York Daily News, 12/27/11 --
Imagine the intensity of Rachael Ray. Now add equally
outgoing host Guy Fieri to the mix.
That's exactly what the folks at the Food Network whipped up when they
created the "Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off," a six episode
competition launching Jan. 1 at 9 p.m., where the two cooking stars help
coach celebrities in preparing food.
"It takes your breath away," Ray tells the Daily News. "This thing is
really intense. I've never played a game as intense as this one."
The eight celebrities were broken into teams to be mentored by Ray and
Fieri. The participants were culled from a variety of backgrounds. From
music came Aaron Carter, Coolio, Taylor Dayne and Joey Fatone. The
acting world was represented by Lou Diamond Phillips and Cheech Marin.
Summer Sanders came from the sports world. And Alyssa Campanella is Miss
USA 2011.
"I'm a fan of 'Top Chef' and 'Dancing With the Stars,' " Ray says. "This
is a mashup of that kind of programming."
The show was filmed over the summer during Ray's hiatus from her daily
syndicated talk show, and jammed in during the time she usually has off
between filming episodes for her Food Network series.
"It was legit and all of the challenges were horribly excruciating," she
says. "Guy and I would say to each other, 'Oh, I would never do that.'
Their food was really good. Their food was so good and we were knocked
out."
As with most competition shows, the cooking abilities of the celebrities
varied, too.
"They really, really tried," Ray says. "They worked their butts off for
weeks."

FreeSol Video Premiere : Fascinated Feat. Justin
Timberlake & Timbaland - 12/27/11
|
|
 |
JustinTimberlake.com, 12/24/11 --
When one fascinates you, it's as if they betwitch you
or put a spell on you. It's no mistake that the word "Fascinate" comes
from the latinate root, "fascinum," which means to witchcraft. Remember
that goddess in Greek mythology, Medusa, who had a head thick of
serpents? She was said to be able to turn soldiers into stone or petrify
them if they simply looked her way.
Today, we show you a modern modern interpretation of the word,
"Fascinated," in this music video by the Tennman Records band, FreeSol.
The video is crawling with snakes and the long, tan limbs of betwitching
women. While the song features vocals by both Justin Timberlake and
Timbaland, the video shows the band, JT, and Timbo in a modern spaceship
setting, spitting out verse and getting their dance on.
In other words, if this ain't fascinating, we don't know what is.
Happy Holidays folks!!!

MTV names Justin Timberlake one of the Laziest Pop
Stars Of 2011 - 12/27/11
|
|
|
MTV Newsroom, 12/23/11 --
"She works hard for the money," Donna Summer
once sang, and just as it was the case in 1983, pop stars these days
have to work their butts off to earn those album purchases, downloads
and concert ticket sales in this age of YouTube, X-Box and Angry Birds.
But while some singers identify with the
Protestant work ethic espoused by Donna, there are others who, as Bruno
Mars puts it, "don't feel like doing anything [and] just wanna lay in my
bed." And it's not always only those who are hardworking who find
success, as the popularity of Bruno proves. Sometimes you can have your
cake and eat it.
So, who's working hard and who's not? In the
spirit of Christmas, we decided to put together a pop star naughty and
nice list for Santa.
Laziest Stars of 2011
Justin Timberlake
Five years after the release of FutureSexLoveSounds (Gulp. Has it
been so long?), Justin Timberlake is now a serious Hollywood leading
man, with roles this year in "Friends With Benefits'" and "In Time." But
while it's admirable that Justin's honing his craft, I must say I'm
getting antsy waiting for a new J.Timberlake record! Come on, Justin!
It's been five years! And if Rihanna can shoot a movie and record an
album, so can you! We need some new music from you, please!

Lance Bass: Why We Shouldn't Use the Word 'Tranny' -
12/27/11
|
|
 |
The Huffington Post, 12/23/11 --
Let me start this off with two very
important words that I truly mean from the bottom of my heart: I'm
sorry. I'm sorry to anyone who was offended or hurt by my use of the
word "trannies" while appearing earlier this week on Access
Hollywood Live.
Let me share what I have learned in the last
24 hours. I have learned, thanks to
Glaad.org's website, that
the term "tranny" is used as a dehumanizing slur to describe transgender
individuals and is oftentimes the last word someone hears before they
are brutally attacked. Similar to the anti-gay F-word, the term "tranny"
is commonly used to humiliate and degrade transgender individuals.
I can tell you with all sincerity that I had
no idea.
I often hear the term used on Logo's
RuPaul's Drag Race and spent an entire summer listening to
Christian Siriano use the phrase "hot tranny mess" on Lifetime's
Project Runway. In my definition, I was referring to the flamboyant
and hilarious drag queens and transvestites who play on Christopher
Street in New York City, some of whom I even call friends. When I use
the word "tranny," I am picturing Tim Curry's Frank-N-Furter character
in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, or the wildly hilarious Eddie
Izzard. I certainly don't think of Chaz Bono or someone questioning the
body they were born into.
It is a word that I have always associated
with overly made-up men in garish costumes and dramatic makeup and have
always considered it a term of endearment. It had never crossed my mind
that it was a slur against those who are transgender and fighting for
their identity.
I am incredibly sensitive to anyone's
feelings, especially anyone who has been made to feel less than or
humiliated. I have nothing but respect and empathy for anyone struggling
with, or who has had to struggle with, finding peace in the body they
were born into. I know my own struggles that I had to go through just to
find peace with my sexuality; theirs is one I could never imagine.

Lance Bass Uses Transgender Slur While Guest Hosting
'Access Hollywood Live' - 12/27/11
|
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter, 12/22/11 --
Lance Bass unknowingly used a transgender slur while
guest hosting Access Hollywood Live on Thursday morning.
The episode featured guest Billy Eichner, a comic
promoting his upcoming Fuse game show, Funny or Die's Billy On the
Street, which quizzes unsuspecting people on the streets of New York.
Bass and Eichner, along with AHL co-host Kit Hoover were discussing the
best places for Eichner to talk to people, when Lance suggested: "So you
need to go to Christopher and Hudson and get those trannies on the
corner there — that would be perfect."
Eichner agreed, saying "I love a tranny," before realizing their gaffe.
"We're not supposed to call them trannies anymore. Did you see that Neil
Patrick Harris called them a tranny on Twitter?"
Replied Bass: "Oh, no? Great, now I'm going to get in trouble." He added
that he "didn't get the memo."
Meanwhile, Hoover asked what the "new name" was, to which Eichner
responded: "Really, really gay?"
Bass and Harris aren't the only stars to use the word "tranny" without
realizing it was a slur. Kelly Osbourne also has recently done the same.

Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel Engaged? - 12/22/11
|
|
|
Gossip Cop, 12/21/11 --
Numerous outlets are buzzing with the news that
Justin
Timberlake and Jessica Biel may be engaged after a Jackson Hole jewelry
store speculated about a proposal on its Facebook page.
The Tayloe Piggott Gallery wrote on Monday evening, "Word on the street
is that Justin Timberlake proposed to Jessica Biel at the Amangani last
night," referring to the super luxurious Amangani Resort in Jackson
Hole, Wyoming.
The company added, "We're picking out post-engagement presents for them
just in case they come in! Trying to play it cool."
While many blogs picked up the rumor without bothering to check on the
facts, Gossip Cop reached out to a source close to the couple, who cast
serious doubt on the accuracy of the report.
The impeccable insider tells us, "I don't believe this to be true at all
— the facts of where they are don't even add up."
And when we contacted the jewelry store, an employee told us, "It's a
total rumor. We have nothing to substantiate it," adding they cannot
even confirm if and when the couple was in town.
Gossip Cop also reached out to reps for Biel and Timberlake.
We'll have updates.

another powerful singer to come step right into her place."
On Josh Krajcik: "He's amazing. Any time you choose a Beatles song, it
just gets you extra brownie points in my eyes. But [just] amazing. Just
listen to his voice — it's so raspy, but so clear and perfect."
When it comes to who will actually take the crown, Lance said it's a
woman's world.
"It's so hard to predict who the winner's gonna be, just because
America's so fickle and every day, with a story in a paper, it can
change everyone's mind, but I think the frontrunner's gonna be Melanie,"
Lance, who served as Kit Hoover's Access Hollywood Live guest co-host on
Wednesday, said.
While our own Billy Bush has raved over Chris' chances in recent days,
Lance stood firm on his choice.
"Chris is great… I think Melanie really does speak to more people out
there watching," Lance told Kit.
"And I love that she has this accent now… I love the accent," Lance
said, referring to Melanie recently dropping the American accent she'd
been using to help people understand her and speaking naturally with her
British Virgin Islands inflection.
"I love that she wanted to hide it because she didn't think America
would go for it," Lance added.
"The X Factor" airs on FOX on Wednesday night at 8 PM ET/PT.

Update on Justin Timberlake film project, 'Inside
Llewyn Davis' - 12/20/11
|
|
|
Variety, 12/19/11 --
Stage veteran Jeanine Serralles, who
previously appeared in James Gray's "Two Lovers" and Julie Taymor's
"Across the Universe," has joined the cast of Joel and Ethan Coen's folk
music pic "Inside Llewyn Davis."
Set amid the 1960s Greenwich Village folk music scene, story follows a
protagonist loosely based on singer Dave Van Ronk, a friend of Bob
Dylan's, and other famous musicians.
Oscar Isaac ("Drive," "Sucker Punch") stars as the title character, a
struggling musician from Queens who, despite being a talented singer and
guitarist, can't make ends meet.
Justin Timberlake co-stars as another folk musician, while his wife
will be played by Carey Mulligan, who shows off her vocal chops singing
"New York, New York" in Steve McQueen's "Shame."
John Goodman is set to play a jazz musician who takes a road trip with
the protag, while "Amadeus" star F. Murray Abraham is circling the role
of Bud Grossman, a legendary manager. Abraham previously starred in
Ethan Coen's off-Broadway show "Almost an Evening."
StudioCanal is set to co-finance the Scott Rudin-produced pic, which
will be made without a domestic distribution partner. Robert Graf ("True
Grit") is exec producing and production is skedded for early next year
in Gotham.
Serrales, who trained at the Yale School of Drama and recently appeared
on CBS' "The Good Wife," is repped by Don Buchwald & Associates. Abraham
is repped by Innovative Artists and Untitled Entertainment.

Howie D. on the supposed rivalry between BSB & *NSYNC - 12/20/11
|
|
|
Starpulse, 12/19/11 --
Starpulse: Was there a real rivalry between
Backstreet Boys and
NSYNC?
Howie D.: Since we are touring with NKOTB, I hope people know by
now that there is no animosity between the boy bands. I have known those
guys for years and went to college with Chris Kirkpatrick, we were in
choir together. I was probably a reason that NSYNC got started because
Chris was so close to me. There was no beef at all; just the beef that
the media made and some fans would gravitate towards that and have to
keep their loyalty but there was no issues at all with those guys.

Callaway gets creative with Justin Timberlake - 12/20/11
|
|
 |
North County Times, 12/15/11 --
Callaway Golf Co. reached for the high-end
market in the high-flying late 1990s by calling in the world's richest
duffer, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
In a different time and much different economy today, the company is
seeking popularity and that elusive quality, cool.
So on Thursday, the Carlsbad-based company announced the choice of
another world-known icon, singer-actor
Justin Timberlake, to attract the younger crowd golf needs for its
future.
But while Gates' main contribution was a gently humorous commercial,
Timberlake's involvement as its new creative director will go much
deeper, the company says.
Timberlake, 30, is already hard at work in Las Vegas, helping craft
promotional videos and plan marketing strategy.
Callaway had already been working with Timberlake, and the company
gradually came to realize he had a lot more to offer, said Tim Buckman,
a Callaway spokesman.
"We were first drawn to him a few years back because he's a fantastic
golfer," Buckman said from Las Vegas.
"Over the years, as we got to know him better, we found we were really
just scratching the surface of the talent he has. He has a very keen
sense of how things should look, should feel, should sound; he's
incredibly multifaceted," Buckman said.
"Those talents will serve us well as we look to connect to the next
generation of golfers, as well as our current customers," Buckman said.
Timberlake displays his sense of style in a 45-second video showcasing
golfing greats Alvaro Quiros and Phil Mickelson performing in front of
notable landscapes, including the Bellagio's pulsating lighted fountains
in Las Vegas. (Go to
http://nctim.es/jtcall to see that video.)
"On a large-scale shoot such as this, the development process extends
back several months," Buckman said. "(Timberlake) is going to be
participating in our post-production work as well. He has a lot of
skills in editing and sound mixing, as you can imagine from his career
as a musician. His impact has really made a difference."
Callaway's decision looks well-considered and not the stereotypical
promotional deal with a celebrity who is just interested in money, said
Casey Alexander, an analyst at New York City-based Gilford Securities.
"I have covered a lot of companies and accused them of doing a lot of
stupid things over the years. I don't think this is one of 'em," said
Alexander, who has a "buy" rating on the company.
"Callaway needs to do something to get its mojo back as a brand," he
said.

streak.

We're stoked to announce that
Callaway has
chosen
Justin Timberlake as their Creative Director of 2012.
Congratulations JT!
Full Details Below:
PRESS RELEASE: CARLSBAD, Calif., December 15, 2011 – Callaway Golf
Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced the establishment of an advanced,
creative position for multiple Emmy and Grammy Award-winning actor,
musician and avid golfer Justin Timberlake. A Callaway Staff
Professional since 2008, Timberlake will lend his versatile talents as a
Creative Director for the Callaway portfolio of Brands. Timberlake will
engage in the development and execution of high-level concepts within
Callaway's marketing activities and offer wide-ranging consultation on
the visual representation of the Brand. The multi-year agreement was
announced by Jeff Colton, Sr. Vice President of Global Brand and
Product, Callaway Golf.
"We have worked with Justin for more than three years now and have been
thoroughly impressed with the level of quality he brings to everything
he is involved with," said Colton. "Justin is an extremely gifted
artist, an avid golfer with a deep passion for Callaway products and his
creative energy will serve us well as we connect with the next
generation of golfers. The opportunity to bring someone with his
multifaceted talents into our creative matrix is very rare, and his
input has already made an impact."
Timberlake's initial work as a Creative Director for Callaway will
support the Company's 2012 RAZR line of premium golf equipment,
including the recently introduced
RAZR Fit™ Driver. Callaway's 2012 product line will be launched in the
first quarter of next year via the Company's upcoming "Epic Demo"
campaign being shot this week in Las Vegas across several iconic city
landmarks including the Bellagio Fountain. Timberlake's contributions to
Callaway's Epic Demo campaign, which features Callaway staff
professionals Phil Mickelson and Alvaro Quiros, includes collaboration
with the creative teams and Director Joseph Kahn.
"It's always great when professional projects surround subjects that I
am passionate about, and the sport of golf and my work with Callaway
definitely fit that criteria," said Timberlake. "I'm looking forward to
bringing a fresh perspective to this category -- focusing on the social
aspects, fun and lifestyle associated with Callaway and playing golf."
In 2008, Timberlake became the first non-tour player to join Callaway's
team of Staff Professionals that includes Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els,
Alvaro Quiros and icons such as Arnold Palmer. Earlier this year, he
participated in a Father's Day-inspired social media contest that
awarded equipment via Callaway's Facebook page.
A passionate golfer, Timberlake's rising status in the sport also
includes annual hosting duties at the
Justin Timberlake Shriners
Hospitals for Children Open PGA Tour event in Las Vegas, NV. Along with
his parents, Timberlake owns and operates Mirimichi, a world-class
championship golf course and learning facility located near his hometown
of Memphis, TN.

Justin Timberlake part of 'E! True Hollywood Story:
Timbaland' - 12/15/11
|
|
|
TV by the Numbers, 12/15/11 --
In the span of just a few years, Tim Mosley
transformed from a struggling teenager sleeping on an air mattress to a
Grammy- winning artist known worldwide as Timbaland. Having collaborated
with the likes of Jay-Z,
Justin Timberlake and Madonna, Timbaland's
music is as infectious as it is successful. However, his life has often
been far from glamorous. A true survivor, Mosley was shot at close
range, nearly dead after a tragic car accident, and has been broke,
hungry and on the brink of suicide. Sheer will, determination and a love
of music pulled Timbaland up from despair and allowed him to create an
unmatched body of work in pop, R&B and hip-hop. For the first time ever
on television, Timbaland and his family reveal the details of his
triumphant story. This hour-long THS packs some major star power: Justin
Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, Missy Elliott, Keri Hilson and Ryan
Tedder all sat down with E! to share their thoughts on this musical
savant and what his work has meant to them. The E! True Hollywood Story:
Timbaland premieres on December 20th at 9:00 PM on E!.
When Timbaland met Timberlake, the connection was instantaneous.
Timbaland - "Me and Justin, it's the weirdest thing. We just say we're gonna
kill them and then we kill them."
Timberlake - "There's no bull****with us. We get together, we break
bread and we spill out music. That's what we do….I think my sound is –
half of it is him."
The fascinating E! True Hollywood Story: Timbaland premiers on December
20th at 9:00 PM on E!.

Callaway takes over Vegas strip for golf shoot - 12/15/11
|
|
|
USA TODAY, 12/15/11 --
The golf clap wasn't on the drawing board for these
shoots.
Pumping up the volume on a game long known for its polite applause and
peaceful nature, Callaway Golf took over a slice of the Las Vegas Strip
this week to take golf to another level.
Tapping into the creative minds of the marketing agency, Factory Design
Labs; film maker Joseph Kahn, who has shot music videos for U2, Eminem,
Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and 50 Cent; and actor, musician and golf nut
Justin Timberlake, Callaway's "Epic Demo" campaign promoting its new
driver and golf ball for 2012 will be hip, loud, explosive and basically
in your face.
They begin airing the final week of January.
Not much surprises anyone on the Las Vegas Strip these days, what with
the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, a Sphinx among pyramids and a
pirate ship dotting the energetic hub of America's playhouse.
But helicopters as golf carts? Or Phil Mickelson hitting golf balls
while 25-foot flames of fire shoot into the air and a volcano erupts in
the distance at The Mirage?
Alvaro Quiros and J.B. Holmes driving balls 325 yards over the Bellagio
fountains? Tommy "Two Gloves" Gainey and Fredrik Jacobson hitting balls
from the rooftop of the Excalibur to the rooftop of the Luxor?
Why not? That's what Callaway asked – and those walking the Strip
stopped to watch by the thousands despite sub-40 degree weather.
"I like this out-of-the-box thinking," Mickelson said. "It has the "wow"
factor and it shows how excited Callaway is about its products. And
instead of just telling you how great the products are, we show you in
unique ways."
Timberlake is lending creative input and talents behind the camera
during both the pre- and post-production work. He and Kahn have worked
together on music videos in the past, and Timberlake, who brought sexy
back and now wants to bring fun back to golf, jumped at the chance.
"It's always great when professional projects surround subjects that I
am passionate about, and the sport of golf and my work with Callaway
definitely fit that criteria," said Timberlake, who in 2008 became the
first non-tour player to join Callaway's team of Staff Professionals
that includes Mickelson, Ernie Els, Annika Sorenstam and Arnold Palmer.
Timberlake also hosts the
Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for
Children Open, a PGA Tour event in Las Vegas. "I'm looking forward to
bringing a fresh perspective to this category – focusing on the social
aspects, fun and lifestyle associated with Callaway and playing golf."
Kahn heard Callaway's pitch and signed on almost immediately.
"This is an approach to golf that I have never seen before," said Kahn,
who first picked up a video camera as a kid to film his father's golf
swing. "Golf is a very interesting thing to shoot because there is so
much distance in the game. You have hundreds of yards to play with on
any given stroke.
"As far as I'm concerned, I'm not really shooting a commercial on golf.
This is an action shot. This is like shooting an action movie."

Exclusive Interview with Tennman Artist Bren - 12/15/11
|
|
|
JustinTimberlake.com, 12/14/11 --
Tennman
Artist Bren, i.e. New York-born, Florida-based singer Brenda Radney,
made her highly anticipated Los Angeles debut at the Rollingstone Lounge
in Hollywood this past weekend, Saturday December 10th, at the VocalizeU
Release party, hosted by Natasha Bedingfield. (For you aspiring singers
out there, VocalizeU is a virtual voice lesson app that enables anyone
anywhere to train their pipes. Rad concept.) Contributing to the app
herself, Bren helped program the piano for all the vocal examples and
provide the female vocal examples for all the ranges. However, it was
that night onstage where Bren instantly proved her own vocal prowess,
getting the jam-packed room grooving to her R & B-infused, soulful
vibrato. After hearing her cover by Chaka Khan and then 4 original
tracks, we are sure you'll be hearing much more of Bren in the months to
come. Till then, here is a peek at what makes Bren tick:
JT.com: How old were you when you
first wrote a song?
Bren:
I was 14 years old. I actually remember the name of it.
It was called "A Dreamer's love." (laugh) It was really corny. I think
it's somewhere at my mom's house in a notebook…..And actually I jacked
an
'N Sync melody – how ironic!?
JT.com: How did Justin find you?
Bren:
It's a crazy story. I am adopted so I have a long lost
sister, who just magically sings and is two years younger than me. She
entered the My Grammy Moment contest, told me about it, and encouraged
me to enter as well.
I made this video for "I Want To dance With
Somebody," which made it to the final 3. I was 22 at the time. I didn't
win the contest but afterwards, Justin called Ken and then Ken called me
right after, and signed me to his label, Tennman Records.
JT.com: Lastly, what's your favorite
Justin Timberlake or
'N Sync song?
Bren: "Oh holy night" the Acapella version, because it is the season.

The Golden Mouse (online critics' prize awarded by 61
of the most important Italian webzine) is, instead, to "In Time" by
Andrew Niccol, with
Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and Olivia Wilde.
This is the motivation: "He knew how to tell in fiction form, although
adhering to the tradition of film noir gangsters, the economic and
social crisis we are living, maintaining a structure that makes the film
enjoyable blockbuster to the general public." The film will be released
soon in Italy distributed by Medusa Film.

Justin Timberlake Trashed By Jessica Biel's Bro? - 12/14/11
|
|
 |
TMZ, 12/14/11 --
Jessica Biel's little brother is slamming
Justin Timberlake's
901 Tequila company -- claiming the brand is a massive
failure and JT is to blame.
Justin Biel -- who we're told worked for the 901 brand until a few weeks
ago -- just posted a couple of videos to
his Facebook page ... in which
he claims Timberlake sabotaged the company by refusing to promote his
own liquor.
Biel rants, "I've been waiting for [Timberlake] to do something with
this f**king brand -- make a song about it, put it in a god damn video,
hold it up, take some pictures, I don't care -- just do something
because we're dying on the motherf**king vine here!"
Biel -- seemingly bitter with the brand -- sarcastically launches into a
series of new "angles" he thinks could help sales ... claiming among
other things:
-- "901 Tequila ... mixes well with a bump of cocaine"
-- "901 Tequila ... Steve Jobs used to drink it ... oh man that's too
soon."
-- "901 Tequila ... I only s**t my pants once on it."
-- "901 Tequila ... so god damn exclusive our own CEO doesn't even drink
it."
Biel continues, "Sales dropped drastically from last year ... way to go
sales team! Our distribution partners still couldn't give two f**ks
about the brand, repping Patron all the way, and giving us the ol' fist
up the ass."
Sources connected to Biel and Timberlake tell us Jessica's brother left
the company on good terms ... even though it doesn't appear that way in
the videos.
A rep for 901 tells TMZ ... "Justin Biel's video was intended to be
one in a series of videos created by 901 Tequila employees (including
the brand owner) as part of a larger viral marketing campaign slated for
the end of December. It was released prematurely without our knowledge
and prior to the final edit."
You buyin' it?
UPDATE
11:37 PM PST -- Justin posted a statement on his Facebook page saying,
"For all you knuckleheads that haven't figured it out. This is just a
joke. hahah. Got ya."
The statement contradicts the 901 rep ... who insisted the videos were
not a "joke" -- but a key part of a large viral marketing campaign that
was released without permission of the company.

Justin Timberlake dined at Dominick's
restaurant with a few friends last friday, and not only did the former

thousands of dollars!

Chirba Chirba hits teenybopper stardom with guest
employee Joey Fatone of *NSYNC - 12/13/11
|
|
|
IndyWeek.com, 12/13/11 --
Last Wednesday, the
Chirba Chirba
Dumpling truck doled out paper trays of porkedame and juicy buns as
part of a routine lunch stop in Morrisville. Employees at ChannelAdvisor,
an international e-commerce software company, lined up as as usual,
though most of the women in line, and a couple of guys, squirmed,
eagerly giddy.
As co-owner Chela Tu helped customers, a new employee
nudged into the tiny window space and bellowed orders out in a jovially
obnoxious inflection fit for entertainment television. Out peeks the man
behind the voice: Joey Fatone, former
*NSYNC boy-bander and host of a
new food reality television show, wearing a signature yellow Chirba
Chirba bandana. And the camera phones started clicking.
Durham food trucks have reached teenybopper levels of
stardom.
My
Family Recipe Rocks launches Jan. 14 on the Live Well cable
television network, part of ABC Family and Disney. In the reality-style
show, host Fatone and a small crew tour the country looking for
authentic family recipes. In each half-hour episode—about six have been
filmed—home cooks will create meals unique to their families.
While on set in Raleigh working on a show about a
secret collards recipe (look for that in the first few weeks of
airtime), a producer dug more deeply into the Triangle's food scene and
discovered the truck, the owners' ties to Chinese culture and the
authenticity attached to the menu. Tu received an email, and the crew
set out for two days of shooting—one at the Cookery during dumpling prep
and one with Fatone working the truck. Producers say the episode should
air after the first three or four shows.
According to ChannelAdvisor support analyst Luci
Thralls, Fatone was the "funny one" in the boy band. The 28-year-old
Thralls says she saw *NSYNC four times in concert at the height of
their popularity. She says she always grabs dumplings for lunch when the
truck makes its stop at her workplace, but learned about Fatone's
appearance through a mass email sent by a colleague days earlier. "It
was pandemonium from then on," she says after waiting to get a photo
with one of her favorite teenage stars. "I kind of lost my mind and got
excited and told everyone I knew."
An hour before the truck began serving, Fatone upped
the humor off-camera, repeating jangly "t" and "z" sounds as per Tu's
impromptu Chinese lesson.
"What am I saying?" he asked. "I like juicy buns?"
Tu smirked, rolled her eyes and got back to work. The entire Chirba
Chirba crew, including Tu and another co-owner, Nate Adams, seemed
unfazed by the celebrity, poking fun at one other while maintaining
order on the cart. The instant rapport made for off-the-cuff moments
perfect for when the camera was rolling.

Queerty, 12/10/11 --
Lance Bass, Michelle Williams, Deborah Cox, Amanda
Lepore, Kristine W, Ultra Nate, Chris Willis and other folks helped
celebrity photographer and former A-List cast member Mike Ruiz blow out
his candles this year at Industry in New York last night. Mike decided
to team up with Industry, PeaceBisquit, and Meoko to turn his birthday
into a fundraiser for the Ali Forney Center, which provides shelter and
services for LGBT youth. GayCities/Queerty photoblogger Jeffrey James
Keyes showed up just as Chris Willis took to the stage and sang "Love is
Gone", a song he collaborated on with DJ David Guetta. Later, Michelle
Williams and Ultra Nate performed their new duet, "Waiting on You,"
followed by a special rendition of "Happy Birthday" sung by the fabulous
Deborah Cox (soon to star on Broadway as Josephine Baker). JJ got up
close and personal with Mike and his friends as they came together for
more than just cake.

Timberlake-Justin.com, 12/9/11 --
The Friends with Benefits DVD comes with a lot of great stuff. The
bloopers are hilarious and the deleted scenes are funny as well. The
best feature is the audio commentary with
Justin, Mila and the director.
They share lots of interesting facts about the movie and are joking all
the time. It's very entertaining and you can clearly notice they have
all bonded so well, which is awesome.
Below are screen captures from all the deleted scenes and bloopers.
As well as 2 videos from the deleted scenes. Wish I could share more
videos with you guys but I could get into trouble & besides YOU ALL

Joey Fatone to appear in 'Lundon's Bridge and the
Three Keys' - 12/13/11
|
|
 |
Us Weekly, 12/9/11 --
Paris Jackson is growing up -- and ready to go
Hollywood.
The late Michael Jackson's 13-year-old daughter has been cast in her
first feature film, Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys.
After British paper The Sun reported the casting news, the
flick's official
website
(featuring professional headshots of Paris) confirmed that the pop
star's eldest will headline the oddball cast of the underwater fantasy
flick.
Her castmates include
Larry King and wife Shawn
King,
N Sync's Joey Fatone and Love Boat alum
Ted Lange.
Based on fantasy novels by Dennis H. Christen, Jackson
plays Lundon O'Malley; the plot involves a dolphin turned into a
human, a teenage boy who morphs into a dragonfly and a jellyfish queen
who changes into an evil fairy godmother.
Profits from the film -- principal shooting has just begun -- will go
towards funding the U.S. school system. Michael Jackson, who died at
age 50 in June 2009, famously became a child star when he and his
brothers burst on the music scene in the early 1970s as the Jackson
Five.

Roberto Cavalli and Adrien Brody held court in a secret back area.
Later, producer/singer-songwriter Rico Love celebrated his 29th birthday
at Vic & Angelo's with a packed house that included Mary J. Blige and
Usher, who gifted his pal with his own Grammy for 2010 Best Male R&B
Vocal Performance, a category that has since been retired.

Timberlake-Justin.com, 12/6/11 --
I've organized a contest for you guys to win a Friends
with Benefits DVD sponsored by Sony Pictures

Here's what you need to do to win the DVD:
If you were the director of FWB how would you change
the romantic ending to the movie ?

Justin & Mila kissing at a beach at
night under the stars ? or maybe taking a boat ride during a sunset in
Venice Italy ? Set your imagination free and get inspired by their
amazing chemistry
I'm trying to be flexible with the length. It can be
short (i.e 1 line) or a bit longer, but if possible try to limit it to
no more than 5 lines. I don't want you guys to think you have to write a
complete essay to win. The important thing is to express the main idea
well.
The most creative and romantic description wins.
Deadline for this contest is Sunday 6 PM PT. Please send all your
submission to

Joey Fatone part of Syfy's 'Jersey Shore
Shark Attack' cast - 12/6/11
|
|
|
Entertainment Weekly's Inside TV, 12/5/11 --
It's guidos vs. sharks!
Syfy has landed an all-star cast for its 2012 creature
feature, Jersey Shore Shark Attack.
Ready for the list? EW has learned that Syfy cast Tony
Sirico (Paulie Walnuts on The Sopranos), Paul Sorvino (Paul
Cicero in Goodfellas), Jack Scalia (Dallas), Joey Fatone ('N Sync) and William Atherton (Die Hard). Of course the
cast wouldn't be complete without some chum from MTV's Jersey Shore
— the film also stars Vinny Guadagnino.
The first photo showing some of the cast and the
movie's story description is below:
With a name like Jersey Shore Shark Attack,
everything you need to know is in the title. But here's a plot
description anyway:
"Jersey Shore Shark Attack
unfolds during the July Fourth weekend at – where else? — the Jersey
Shore, where rare swarms of sharks are converging due to illegal
underwater drilling. Now the angry sharks are on a rampage, devouring
residents, and leaving it up to the locals to try and save the day.
Sirico is Captain Sallie, the wise veteran of
boardwalk life and lore. Scalia is Moretti, former Guido beach bum and
now police chief. Sorvino portrays the possibly corrupt Mayor and
Atherton is the greedy developer Dolan, who wants to tear down the
boardwalk to build a luxury resort where the Guidos will not be
welcome. Vinny Guadagnino plays the on-scene reporter Conte and Joey
Fatone appears as himself."
Jersey Shore Shark Attack
is from Hybrid Entertainment and will air on Syfy next summer. |

E! Online, 12/3/11 --
Britney Spears is finally not a girl, but a
woman!
The queen of pop turned the big 3-0 Friday and celebs ranging from
Victoria Justice to Ryan Seacrest tweeted birthday wishes and sent
videos to the star. Brit-Brit graciously thanked them in return,
reminiscing about birthdays past and even remembering a song she forgot
she recorded!
Brit also took a trip down memory lane with Lance Bass, who joked the blonde was now a geriatric by
wishing her "Happy 30th grandma!!!" Brit reminded Lance just how long
they've known one another, responding: "You knew me when I was
celebrating my 18th! Wow. Feels like yesterday."

*NSYNC, PLEASE REUNITE! (K, Thx!) - 12/6/11
|
|
|
MTV Buzzworthy Blog, 12/1/11 --
Welcome to your weekly dose of Pop Think! I'm Sam
Lansky, music writer and pop fanatic. With British boy bands prepped to
invade the states and news of 2gether poised to reunite, an American boy
band revival seems imminent. This makes it all the more devastating to
learn that
*NSYNC, one of the greatest boy bands of all time, have no
plans to reunite, as JC Chasez confirmed for the bajillionth time to TMZ
this week.
It is quite literally tearing up my heart to think about a music
universe devoid of *NSYNC, because, let's face it, the group produced
some of the finest cuts of the millennial teen pop boom. This week, I'm
taking a look back at *NSYNC's utterly flaw-free catalog and exploring
why I'm not quite ready to say bye, bye, bye to my fave boy band ever.
Remember when *NSYNC ran the show? Yeah, those were
the good ol' days:
Justin Timberlake in an oversize ribbed turtleneck, a
crown of goofy braids atop Chris Kirkpatrick's head, Joey Fatone
stroking his goatee thoughtfully, Lance Bass gazing out with that
doe-eyed expression, JC Chasez sporting a rakish soul patch. Whodathunk
that this ragtag band of crooners would go on to make some of the most
giddily innovative pop music of the new millennium?
Their initial output followed trends more than dictating them; their
self-titled debut album, released in Europe in 1997 and the United
States in 1998, was sweetly saccharine boy-band goodness in keeping with
their contemporaries, Backstreet Boys and 98 Degrees. Max Martin-penned
gems such as "I Want You Back" and "Tearin' Up My Heart" hardly
re-created the wheel, instead following the formula for uptempo teen pop
about heartbreak, and gushy ballads like "(God Must Have Spent) A Little
More Time On You" and "Thinking of You (I Drive Myself Crazy)" provided
the perfect soundtrack for gingerly affectionate middle-school slow
dances everywhere.
But their next album, 2000's No Strings Attached, was less
predictable, integrating hip-hop and funk influences for results that
sounded, at the time, remarkably forward-looking. Singles "Bye Bye Bye"
and "It's Gonna Be Me" brought the group unparalleled success, and the
album sold 1.1 million copies on its first day of release, then more
than 2 million copies in its first week, which Entertainment Weekly
called "perhaps the greatest mass spending of allowances in history."
The next year brought possibly their best (and final) album, Celebrity,
a concept album (much of which was penned by Justin and JC) about the
virtues and vicissitudes of fame that broke ground for that subject long
before rap superstars made complaining about paparazzi a stock lyrical
component. The lead single, "Pop," was a weird, overstuffed, hyperactive
piece of stutter-pop brilliance; their later single, "Girlfriend,"
brought in Nelly and the Neptunes for a hip-pop remix that seamlessly
integrated teen pop and rap in a way that felt fresh and unexpected.
