Justin vs. Britney -- The Battle Rages On?

Pop star Justin Timberlake famously put his breakup with Britney Spears to song with his hit "Cry Me a River." But with Justin's new album "FutureSex/LoveSounds" a week away from release, it seems Justin isn't done digging up the past.
Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears
In a song on the new album titled, "What Goes Around..." Justin seems to make more references to his former flame. Check out these lyrics and decide for yourself:

"It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie."




In the song, which is written as if directed towards someone who broke up with him, Justin even intimates at thoughts of marriage:

"You said that you were moving on now,
and maybe I should do the same.
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name."


And is this a veiled reference to K-Fed?

"You spend your nights alone,
and he never comes home.
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone."


Of course, this doesn't necessarily have to be a case of art imitating life (after all, he's got Cameron Diaz now) -- but it sure looks that way.

31. It is so funny how so many of you think of Britney for what you read in tabloids. This is a tabloid just as bad as anything on the net. Sure it could be about Britney but it isn't as it is about a friend of his. The other is that he finally came out and basically stated the CRY ME A RIVER wasn't about Britney either. Touche. And for those who think Britney is a dirty whore, guess how many men Cameron has slept with since going to hollywood, more than any of you can count on your feet and hands. No it has been for all concerned that Britney has probably been with maybe a handful, but Cameron with dozens and most just because. No JT finally got what he wanted a slut for a girlfriend and with less talent that a sock.

34. Justin should just SHUT UP, it is obvious now that he would do ANYTHING just to sell. What he should be talking about is how it feels sleeping with his 'MOTHER"

36. JUSTIN IS A PATHETIC LITTLE BOY. HE'S NOT SEXY. HE IN FACT LOOKS ANEMIC, AND APPARENTLY NEEDS TO TRASH SOMEBODY, ANYBODY JUST TO CREATE ENOUGH BUZZ TO SELL HIS CRAP MUSIC.

37. I think people are always looking for a link between celebrities who break up. I bet Timberland wrote some of those lyrics and they are trying to make it look like he wrote it about Britney. Hello! The man is dating Cameron Diaz and says "they are happy dating each other". This is really a stupid story for TMZ to come up with.

38. Chrissy....please, please, please go back to school and learn spelling and grammer. Your posts were painful to read! And for future reference-- thier is spelled their and it's not used in the same way as there or they're...pretty confusing...I know...but just think of the possibilities for you when you learn to use the English language correctly!

40. How is Brit trailer park trash, does she stay in a trailer? What makes someone trailer park trash? I really need to know, I have never heard this term be used to discribe another person, is that a southern thing? As far as JT's song goes, I am not sure if it is about anyone, doesn't seem to fit the Brit/JT break up. Maybe he just wrote a song.I agree with another poster, TMZ employees have a sweet job! But I have to admit, I love reading their stuff.

42. you all are so harsh, nobody ever give's her a break even all you little critic's who no what about her life besides what the media place's on you GOD no wonder why we have a idiot as president you all believe what you fucking hear. it sadden's me to see you picking on someone who has more money more fame, so obviously she did something right. jesus she cheated on jt okay maybe not but if she did big deal PEOPLE CHEAT, once again just like when someone famous does it it becomes a mortal sin. you all. need to stop being critic's and judging what you don't know but yeah it's america but america should'nt be so cruel.

when you sell over million's of records then you have a place to say even then not.
everybody lives there lifes there way nothing you say is going to effect either of them.

grow up all of you and let the pop star's and other famous people live on!

43. It's a shame you all have to trash someone to feel better about yourselves! Why do you care who or what the songs about? GET A LIFE, people.

44. Is he really gonna say who it is about. To me it so sounds like Britney. What business of Justin's is it to make a song for his friend's ex fiance?? Come on now.I say it's about Britney! And he's not pinning for her but I think it's a slam dunk to Brit.
