    Unfortunately, this does not seem to be a positive step in Timberlake’s mission to bring sexy back.

        Anecdotal of course, but my mother was in a position to manage private flights for an airline, she did this for many many years, she let me know that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Beal were the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

          I trust this bro…

          This is just how these people are. I really don’t understand why we have a culture where peasants worship them or executives or politicians or rich people overall.

          It is pathetic yet this is the current standard behavior from most people.

            For sure. I do also just want to make a note, VIPs were what she dealt with, celebrities, ceos, politicians, but she never really had anything to say about most behavior because it was somewhat normalized, those two went above and beyond.

        He treated them fine. Brittany was bad to him. I suspect Janet wanted the top pulled off. The press and music industry did Janet wrong, but Timberlake was not bad to those ladies.

          Hmmm getting some conflicting info here…

          Didn’t he brag about popings her cheery around 2000? What did she do to him to warrant that?

          Are we just assuming Janet was asking for it?

            The Superbowl thing was pretty clearly a publicity stunt gone wrong. Makes a lot more sense being planned by Jackson’s side vs Timberlake’s.

            And so what if he bragged about being her first? She dumped him pretty publicly. Everyone knew it at the time. The “Cry Me A River” music video was revenge for that whole situation, and the public ate it up because we all knew she did him wrong. It kick-started his solo career.

      This isn’t gossip, the police department confirmed that it happened. Recent developments about prominent figures are news even if you don’t think it’s newsworthy.

        Do you think that “gossip” means things that aren’t true?

        Recent developments about prominent figures are news even if you don’t think it’s newsworthy.

        The rules of this community disagree with you.

          casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.

          The actual non-assumed definition of ‘gossip’ ^

          From the rules:

          All posts must be news articles.

          From the post:

          abcnews.go.com

          QED

          I’m not sure where you went wrong, but maybe take a few minutes before coming in so hot next time

            Just because the post complies with one rule doesn’t mean that it is now exempt from all other rules. I already posted the part of the rules which it violates: “No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed.”

            I’m not sure where you went wrong, but maybe take a few minutes before coming in so hot next time

            What does “coming in so hot” mean? Posting something that you disagree with?

              The first 2 lines of my previous comment focuses on your other rule issue.

              This is none of the things in your list using the proper definition of gossip.

              Coming in hot

              I was suggesting you should pause before acting because you were confidently incorrect about the definition of the word gossip.

        “Prominent figures” - artificially manufactured entertainers are prominent figures in terms of news?

            See that’s where I made my mistake. I forgot that people are much more invested in others’ lives, rather than the events that occur around them. My bad, you’re right. It’s vital that we know what’s going on in Justin Timberlake’s life at all times.

              Where did I say it’s vital? Lol. I don’t give a shit. But it’s still news. I don’t care about everything that’s in the news, do you? Sounds exhausting.
