Justin Timberlake Complains About Gossip Mags
Justin Timberlake is fed up with all of the celebrity magazines turning his life upside down. “I despise what they do,” the 26-year-old singer tells Details magazine in an interview in its April issue. “They create soap operas out of people’s lives. It’s a spin game, and I choose not to take part in it.”
Which means that he won’t give any details concerning his ex-girlfriends, Cameron Diaz and Britney Spears. “I would never say anything bad about anyone. I love a lot of those people,” says Timberlake, whose latest album is “FutureSex/LoveSounds.” Cameron and Justin, who had been dating since 2003, confirmed their split in January. Britney and Justin had been a popular couple when they were together, but broke up in 2002.
Timberlake, who used to be a member of boy band *NSYNC, released his debut solo album, “Justified,” in 2002. The album won a Grammy Award. “I tried so hard to be an R&B artist, and it was the pop album of the year. That’s the last thing I wanted,” Timberlake says. “But I was like, ‘So everyone considers me a pop artist? I’m going to do whatever I want to do.’”
Timberlake took home a trophy as favorite male singer Saturday night in the raucous, slime-drenched 20th Annual Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. The show began with Timberlake descending from the ceiling on a large orange Nickelodeon blimp and breaking into a Broadway show tune in which he taunted the audience, saying he was too famous to be slimed. “You’ll never get a drop of slime on old J.T.,” he sang. By the end of the song, of course, he had been drenched in the green goo.
