Celebrity Feuds
JT Disses the Grammys & Being a Pop Star

Justin TimberlakeWhatever you do, don't call Justin Timberlake the new King of Pop!

The 26-year-old former *NSYNC frontman tells Details magazine that on his first solo album, "I tried so hard to be an R&B artist and it was the pop album of the year, and I was like, 'F*ck. That's the last thing I wanted.'" Be careful what you wish for, JT.

Justin also has a bone to pick with the Recording Academy over the debacle that was this year's My Grammy Moment, which featured JT singing with contest winner Robyn Troup. Timberlake agreed to the performance before the concept was fully developed. When he realized it was turning into a pathetic "American Idol" knock-off, Justin wanted out. Timberlake says he wound up keeping his word, "Because I'm the nice guy who follows through on the things he commits to." Save, of course, Cameron Diaz.

Read the rest of Justin's gripes in the April issue of Details or at Details.com.

47. Who the heck cares, he's a looser anyway. If it wasn't for Disney, he would most likely be working at a fast food restaurant. Cameron Diaz was the best thing that ever happened to him and he screwed that up too. Do the world a favor and get lost.

49. ............Justin has been "STROKED" and "GROOMED" and told he is "FANTASTIC" his whole life. At some point he needs to realise that, he's really just so so. He has the attitude of a spoiled adult who really hasn't grown up. When sitting with him he is always looking around to see who is paying attention to him. Always looking for thr next praise, all his answers seem rehearsed. Maybe too much time in front of a mirror?
Justin, "sexy" is a lot of things to different people....Looks, style, humor, laughter, someone comfortable in their own skin, someone who knows how to make other people feel welcomed......Sir, you are NOT sexy!

50. I like some of his music, but I've never thought of Timberlake as R&B. He's no B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughn or an Aretha Franklin. And unless he's been misquoted a lot, most of what I've read coming from Timberlake has to do w/ bashing the industry and other musicians, including newer singers who are trying to make it. There was a time when Justin was starting out as well. And now he's upset by his Pop label which has brought him a lot of attention and money....not to mention fans.

I don't know who his agent is, if he has one, but he should have one who is giving him better advise -- like learning some diplomacy esp. if he wants to make it in acting.

51. Why can't these celebutards just do what they are (over) paid to do & then keep their mouths shut? Too many "yes-men" surround them telling them how wonderful they are, so they start to believe it.
He probably couldn't even cut it in a fast food place!
Justin, just because you claim to be "the nice guy" doesn't necessarily mean you are. It does show a lack of class & how completely disrespectful you are to Robyn Troup. You say you want to be alone? Then go away & don't come back. EVER. There are plenty of pop singers to replace you.

55. JT Sucks! Who cares what he thinks.

56. Did he just fall off the turnip truck? The Grammys took advantage of him? He didn't get any press out of that? Are we supposed to believe that he doesn't understand anything about show business?

57. Well, I threw out all of his music. He lost my respect!

58. What a Jerkface!

How classy of you to take a young woman's most exciting night of her life (singing with your no talented behind at the Grammy's) and CRAP ALL OF IT!

Hey Justin: GO KICK ROCKS!!!

Disgusting. I bet he even sleeps with a do-rag on his head.
