Did Justin Guarini Fall Off Planet Earth?

Posted Jul 25th 2006 12:30AM by TMZ Staff

Justin GuariniWell Allison, Justin is definitely no Kelly Clarkson. He was cut by RCA and, as a result, got virtually no promotion for his first album, "Justin Guarini," released in 2003. That album was followed by "Stranger Things Have Happened," released by Justice Entertainment. There's a buzz that one of Justin's problems is that he took a buzzer to his hair, which took away his key distinctive quality.

He didn't fare much better either when he took a stab at film -- his movie, "From Justin to Kelly," tanked.

Justin makes occasional TV appearances and he's still working on his music. But the runner up in "A.I." season one has not exactly had smooth sailing.

Is Luke Wilson hooking up with anyone these days?


Luke WilsonOk, Jodi, here's the deal. Luke revealed last week that he's been dating someone for the last year and a half, but he won't say who. However, there are problems.

Luke told Howard Stern that he and his girl are having issues, in part because of his demanding schedule. Luke added that in his relationships he never has "the guts to just leave." For Luke's sake, we're hoping his girlfriend won't react the same way to a breakup as his on-screen lover in "My Super Ex-Girlfriend."

Someone posted a comment on TMZ that Paris Hilton was a "fart in a mitten." Please do explain.


Paris Hilton: You Made Me CryOh yeah, Jill! Everyone wants to know what it means, if anything. Well, we did some digging and it really does mean something. Fart in a mitten is defined as an odor that becomes trapped in fabrics, which you just can't eliminate. We're guessing the person who made the comment thinks Paris is the odor and the world is the fabric.

By the way, take a look at Paris' reaction when TMZ's Harvey Levin asked her how she felt about being called a "fart in a mitten."

Is the entire cast of "7th Heaven" coming back for its 11th season?


7th HeavenSteph, it's a good question that was up in the air until recently. The CW has resuscitated the once laid to rest "7th Heaven." All the current stars are expected to return. It looks like the big wigs at The CW looked at the show's history, which was one of the top performers on the WB, and decided to give it another chance. So plan on seeing all the Camdens back on Mondays at 8pm, beginning Sept. 25, 2006.

Is Wilmer Valderrama dating anyone these days?


Wilmer and ScarlettKelly, TMZ spies say Wilmer has a thing for Scarlett Johansson. The two definitely seemed like an item in the Hamptons over the July 4th weekend. But wait -- there's this problem, and his name is Josh Hartnett. Josh is officially linked to Scarlett and she has said publicly that she's very happy in her current relationship. So what's the deal with Wilmer arranging for a helicopter to fly her up to the Hamptons that weekend? If Hollywood is anything, it's complicated when it comes to romance. To be continued.

1. I think someone needs to examine the photo of Wilmer Valderrama and Scarlett Johansson a little bit more--- it is clear to me that the hand on his neck is that of the woman leaning in to whisper to him- and he is reciprocating by placing his hand on her waist. it's what friends do when talking in a loud party atmosphere. No where is scarlett's arm in that photo that would conclusively point to the hand on his neck belong to Scarlett.

3. i know all of you gays are really harsh because of your unaccepted lifestyles and your envy of paris but come on, you all need to get lives. and for the chicks who comment, you need to get lives too and youre only mean because youre envious of paris, what she has, and what she's accomplished. paris is a person too. im sure you all have done at least one, likely more, thing that you regret. but why are all of you(haters) wasting your time on your computer commenting about paris anyways? i would think if she is so bad, shes not worth your time. why dont you go look in the mirror and pick out all of your, many, faults and then sit down and write all of them down and also the things you want, but dont have and paris does. (e.g. mercedes slr mclaren and a beautiful house in the hollywood hills) now, go use your brain to figure out how you want to get these things, and the plastic surgery youre desperately in need of. time is money. im sure you wouldnt waste it like you do your time here. and the only reason why i am wasting my 2 minutes writing this is out of pity for all of you sore souls who are wasting your lives away, here on TMZ.com.

4. To whomever asked, no, Justin Guarini did NOT fall of the face of the earth.

And to TMZ, you need to do more thorough research before you post something.

First off, Justin got no promotion from RCA BEFORE they dropped him, and then was dropped due to lack of sales. You'd think a major record label would be able to put two and two together. Promotion = sales. Not so hard, is it??

Second, the way you wrote your little snippet makes it sound like he released his debut album, then shortly after followed with Stranger Things, and THEN released From Justin to Kelly. In fact, he JUST released Stranger Things Have Happened this last December, and From Justin to Kelly is FAR behind him.

I've never heard ANY buzz concerning his haircut...and believe me, if there was some, I would have heard it.

How come Kelly Clarkson never gets any derision from doing the movie? No one ever brings that up when they talk about her career, yet it's ALWAYS included in Justin's

5. To whomever asked whether Justin Guarini fell off the face of the earth: No, he did not.

And to TMZ: I suggest you do a little more research before you post the answers to people's questions.

First off, Justin got no promotion from RCA BEFORE they dropped him, and then was dropped due to lack of
sales. You'd think a major record label would be able to put two and two together. Promotion = sales. Not so hard, is it??

Second, I've never heard ANY buzz concerning his haircut...and believe me, if
there was some, I would have heard it.

And, hey...here's something for you to ponder! How come Kelly Clarkson
never gets any of the snark from the whole "From Justin to Kelly" fiasco? Huh...that part seems to be conveniently left out any time someone is discussing her career, yet it's ALWAYS included when they talk about Justins. Heck, it basically headlines the whole conversation! The truth of the matter? Justin got wonderful reviews on his acting, so the fact that the movie failed so miserabely really had nothing to do with him!

Justin released Stranger Things Have Happened this past December. He released it independently, under his own label, Justice Entertainment. It

He has recently become heavily involved in BurnLounge, a digital distribution network for musicians and their fans. Other names in this project include: Snoop Dog, Bow Wow, Deborah Gibson, Ted Nugent, Mekhi Pheifer, Flava Flav, Bill Bellamy, Carson Daly, and Rick Dees, to name a few. The CEO of BurnLounge, Alex Arnold, has been overheard calling Justin his "angel" and saying that he's "going to make it all happen." Obviously THESE people have faith in him, whether or not you do. :)

He is now in the studio working on his third album, which is to be a mix of jazz, funk, R&B, soul, and a little hip-hop.

Oh yeah...and...


JUSTIN IS HEADLINING HIS FIRST SOLO CONCERT ON SEPTEMBER 28TH IN SEWELL, NEW JERSEY AT THE COMMERCE BANK ARTS CENTER!!!

6. Ah-- can anyone say "set-up"? Shame on TMZ for trying to make us feel bad for this no talent. It is a fact that this poor little thing made money from that tape..and then used it to make a name for herself. Who knows..maybe she'll also follow in her pal Pam's foot steps and contract Hep C too. I take that back, she probably already has it. Wear a condom boys ;-)

7. Yeah and i bet the only people that will show up to that "first ever solo concert" will be the same four people that went to see that god awful movie... his mom, his dad. himself and his boyfriend. ;-)

8. I think anybody that hated From Justin to Kelly should sit their small children in front of it and watch the kids. Mine loved it and danced all the way through it. Not so bad for a movie that is not all cartoon dogs or speaking babies.

9. Awww...Paris says we hurt her feelings. Perhaps if she's quit acting like a slut and quit being a stupid bitch people would think differently. Her music career is a joke. She should just stick to porn. At least that was something worth watching.

10. there will be five at that show, you forgot Katie, who will be at the concert in Sewage..ooops...I mean Sewell...I guess Stranger things HAVE happened...

12. Maybe Justin should have starred in Paris' film. Then he would have some fame and recognition.

13. Justin and Paris should just cry together

14. RE: "A fart in a mitten" - I live in the Boston Area, last week I caught then end of an interview on a radio station. It was with Paris. Who ever she was talking to said she was a "fart in a mitten" and made some other comments also. She actually sounded pretty composed in the interview and brushed the comments off. At the time, I had NO IDEA what that comment meant. Thanks for clarifying! LOL

15. Ok, now who cares? TMZ should do a story on what a has been Jessica Simpson is....people look at this clip of her video and see what a fool she is!
