JT No Longer Lovin' Mickey D's

Posted Apr 6th 2007 3:59PM by TMZ Staff

Justin TimberlakeJustin Timberlake, who sang the popular "I'm Lovin' It" hook for a McDonald's ad campaign, is biting the hand that fed him.

In an interview that appears in the May issue of British GQ, Timberlake starts talking about awards shows, and then veers to the topic of McDonald's. "I view the Grammys the same way I as I see my deal with McDonald's," JT said. "I regret the McDonald's deal." Mac attack!

Timberlake continued, talking about how he regretted performing at the Grammys, saying, "It's kind of interesting. Just like the McDonald's deal, whose market share went up 25 percent when I walked into those offices and changed their image. When I did the Grammys, the viewing figures went up by 25 percent. Funny, isn't it?" Wow, someone's a little full of himself.

McDonald's signed Timberlake as its spokesman in 2003 and sponsored the European leg of his tour that year.

Calls to reps for McDonald's and Timberlake were not immediately returned.

17. Justin Timberlake's "I'm all that and your not attitude" will hurt him.

The higher you are the harder you fall.

We'll see him at the bottom someday.

20. I think he is so overrated. He looks like any average joe on the street. He has maybe 2 songs that are ok. I'm glad after reading the comments on here that im not alone in thought. He will never be an R/B artist....just a mediocre pop artist!

22. I here ya, Traycee! Robin Thicke!!! Now, that's a guy who can sing some R&B! He's got soul and class and he's a nice looking man! If you haven't heard his CD, get it, you won't be sorry!

24. He sings like a girl. Now he has attitude! Very unattractive. I guess all those 12 year olds will still like him.

25. Hey Justin, you really can't sing and GTF over yourself.

26. #12---your comments are way out of line, not to mention not factual. You need to get a life.

27. His lordship still thinks he has resurrected pop music all by his lonesome and is unparalled in his ability. Listen Timberpuddle; you're nothing but high pitch crooner who will get old and one day soon can't hit the high note. At the same time you will be bald and probably overweight playing some Vegas lounge. Forget sexy, you'll be worrying about your prostrate exploding.

You haven't revolutionized music; nor created other sound other than stealing the Michael Jackson sound. Thank the Lord you received a big check from McDonalds because that check is probably more than many of us will make in our lifetime. So please, keep your whining to yourself and enjoy whatever success you have because
you will be a has-been in the not so distant future.

28. Hey, Justin, according to McDonald's Canada, it's to your benefit to consider a career at Mickey D's. :-p "Timberlake and Pam Bowers sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G..."

SHOULD Pam text her ex's friend Cam?

[_] YES!!!

[_] NO!!!

29. This young man has become very negative. Bite the hand that feeds you. He regrets this award, he regrets everything. Justin, if you make an error in judgment don't tell everyone about it-just do it differently next time around. With regard to the award you complained about recently, be glad you received an award. Some never receive an award. You sould like a very spoiled young man who lacks any graditude!
