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.

46. Shut the hell up Justin! So sick of him. He has good producers - that's it. Lately, he's got negative comments for everyone. Maybe he needs rehab to get happy again. It's probably what Cameron dumbed his ass.

47. Pop Stars only have to appeal to a fraction of 1% of the American population of 300,000,000 to be wildly successful. Do they not realize that over 299 million will never really know who they are? A National commercial makes them far more famous then their singing careers ever will.

48. Mopey JT certainly grew up to be a morose and depressing sort of guy.

That cover picture is almost scary and reminds me of somebody I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. The psycho look must be in.

49. Bet he doesn't regret the cash he made. Now he is trying to act like he is so mature and above it all. What an immature little phoney! Plus the idea that he single handledly brought sexy back. Bwah! I couldn't believe he actually thought so. Pompous little weasel! He's becoming George Clooney Jr.

52. I wonder if Timberlake would be a little more apprecitive of his deal with Mccdonalds if he could not get any work any longer in the entertainment business.. Jackass celebrities who bite the hand that feeds them make me sick. Stop giving this jackass a job and he'll be thankful as hell for his next deal, Mcdonalds or not.

53. Miss Justin: minimum talent plus too much attitude spells M. C. H. A. M. M. E. R.

55. JUSTIN - just so you know. the Grammy's viewing was up because the Dixie Chicks were nominated and singing on the show. A lot of people were curious as to how well they would do and some were watching to see them lose. They took all FIVE awards. Sorry Justin, you were not the draw to the Grammy's. You are not even cute. You must have a lot of payola going on because many don't see it. Maybe the teens loved you when you first came out, but, SEXY you are not..

56. I dont get the attraction to him at all. He is not good looking, he looks scrawny and not manly at all, hes kinda feminine.THIS is not appealing at all. You dont see him smiling very much, hes not funny and he is always bitching. i dont get the appeal.

If he was an unknow on the street, he would not get a second glance.

57. Man, that is going to leave a mark when he crashes down. I imagine he will even "wonder what happened" to his life.

Shame on you Timberfake...Your head is so big you can't fit thru a door.

58. Have to agree...I was a fan until he became mr snobby. Such a turn off...Remember Justin...its hard climbing the ladder if you have to step on people to get up it. Shame Shame...i thought you grew up.

59. Can you say PRICK !

What is he going to try and walk on water next ?

I use to like his music, but he needs to get over the fact that he is a POP singer, and for someone that is so worried about everyone using him... he might want to slip the Britney cd and listen to the track he sang on and recall how he still uses their breakup to cry over.

I don't know how, but I hope something takes place that brings him back down to earth real fast. Anyone out there with a JT sex tape ? Even better if he gets caught sneaking out of Lance's house.

60. He first showed he was a top tier JERK when a DJ offered to play his record if he copped to boinking Britney & JT told every1 on the air that he was screwing Brit when she was still playing the "I'm a slutty virgin" card." I hope he was misquoted though. The Grammys is THE music awards show that attracts every major recording artist and ratings are up because of this Boy Band skank?
On the McD's thing, hopefully other advertisers will think twice before hooking up w/ this clown.
