Poor "American Idol" loser Clay Aiken. He's had to endure countless questions about his sexual preference. At a concert earlier this year, Clay thought it'd be a good idea to give his fans a treat by singing Madonna's "Like A Virgin". Not gay at all!
Aiken now takes it to another level with his homage to JT. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you "Sexy Back." Aikenified.
Justin Timberlake is the one and only boy band member to produce consumable music that any audience has purchased in large quantity to come from the era of the major-label hits-formula byproduct. Sure, Nick Lachey's last record sold as well, but Nick is still a dominator in the formula, whereas Justin is at least trying something different. With his second offering "FutureSex/LoveSounds," he decides to allow the most prominent producers in hip hop to digitally manufacture his music while he provides the vocals.
When a musical guest of a certain stature performs on "The Late Show with David Letterman," they join Dave on the couch for a few light-hearted questions and casually mention their new album. For Justin Timberlake last night, the questions he got were about his girlfriend (Cameron Diaz), smoking weed, and, of course, the "the Super Bowl thing with Janet Jackson."
Letterman first asked Timberlake to talk about his relationship with Cameron Diaz. "I don't want to go into detail about her," Justin said. To which Dave shot back, "Well that's what we want is the details."
After laughing off a few more Diaz questions, Dave brought up Justin's Rolling Stone cover story -- and whether or not he smoked pot with the interviewer. "I make a promise to you, I try not to do drugs while I'm doing interviews," JT said jokingly. "I'm completely drunk right now, but I try to at least stay away from [drugs]."
Then Letterman turned to Justin's infamous performance with Janet Jackson at halftime of Super Bowl XXXVIII. Justin laughed as soon as David started to ask the question, and Paul Shaffer shouted out to Justin, "Isn't it great you got to sit on the couch?" To which Justin came back with, "I know, right? My first time on the damn show!"
But Justin laughed off this question too and finally answered, "I think it's fair to say that was not a well thought-out performance."
Justin Timberlake unveiled new material from his upcoming album "FutureSex/LoveSounds" Friday at House of Blues on the Sunset Strip.
And when you are a bastion of sexuality like Justin Timberlake (it also doesn't hurt that the name of your lead single is "SexyBack" and your girlfriend is Cameron Diaz) you can bet there is going to be some star power not only on the stage but also in the audience.
The likes of will.i.am, Three 6 Mafia, and Timbaland participated in the musical carousing on stage, while stars like Paris Hilton, Tyra Banks, Ellen, and Jeremy Piven joined Justin's lady love in the audience.
Justin Timberlake stopped by LA's top-rated KIIS FM to have a chat with Ryan Seacrest Thursday morning on his hugely successful radio show, "On Air with Ryan Seacrest." But unlike past interviews, Ryan had the tables turned on him this time as JT said, "This is my bone to pick with 102.7!"
It seems as though KIIS had been playing the previously-leaked MP3 version of Timberlake's hit song, "SexyBack," as opposed to the master version. He explains that on his way home from the airport one day, he had the station tuned into KIIS and noticed his song didn't sound right. He decided to take matters into his own hands and contacted the station and sent the correct version over.
Later on in the interview, Seacrest points out that both of Justin's upcoming August shows at the House of Blues sold out within 30 seconds -- simultaneously!
