This new Justin Timberlake interview has me stumped. It’s a puzzler. It’s so out-of-character for JT, I just don’t even know where to begin. Justin was promoting his new movie, Trouble With the Curve (that Clint Eastwood mess), and he ended up going into a lengthy discussion about Jessica Biel, and how she’s really special and “hot” and how he had to convince her to go out with him, and how he’ll move heaven and earth to make her happy. It’s like Justin is a Pod Person now. Like Invasion of the Body Snatchers or something, like Jessica Biel had some kind of Romance Microchip embedded into his brain:
Justin Timberlake isn’t one to go on and on about his love life, but the singer made an exception while promoting his new movie, Trouble With the Curve. During a recent press conference with the Hollywood Foreign Press, Timberlake, 31, spoke candidly about his fiancee and love of five years, Jessica Biel, 30. “She’s a really, really, really special person,” the Tennessee native told reporters. “Plus, she’s really, really, hot!”
According to Timberlake, Biel — who once dated Captain America: First Avenger star Chris Evans, 31 — was reluctant to begin dating him in 2007. “There was nothing starry about the way we got together. It was very un-Hollywood-esque, in fact,” recalled Timberlake, who split with Cameron Diaz, 40, in late 2006. “We met and got talking. Afterwards I asked my friend if I could call her and ask her out. My friend called Jessica and Jessica said yes, and so I called her.”
“I did it the old fashioned way — by telephone,” Timberlake continued at the press conference. “That’s something I learned from both my stepdad and my grandfather — that there is a thing called chivalry and it doesn’t have to die with the birth of the internet. The way I see it, if you’re asking a girl out on a date, it’s only right to do it in a way that she can hear your voice. I had to be pretty persistent in order to get her to say yes. But I have a fair amount of tenacity and if I want something I stick to it. And in the end she agreed.”
Timberlake popped the question in Jackson, Wyoming, in December 2011. “I answer to a higher power now,” he joked. “We have a couple of rules in our relationship. The first rule is that I make her feel like she’s getting everything. The second rule is that I actually do let her have her way in everything. And, so far, it’s working.”
Though the former ‘N Sync singer wouldn’t go into details about his own wedding, he did share his thoughts about what he believes is required to sustain and happy marriage. “I think it’s important to remember that you go into something like marriage knowing that you don’t know very much about it at all. But I do look at the marriage of my mother and stepdad, and what makes it work for them is that it’s a team effort.”
“Some days are better than other days for all of us — and if we have our good days and bad days individually, and then we’re dealing with someone else’s good and bad days on top of that, it’s going to add up,” Timberlake said. “My mother is a ball of fire in the world and I love that about her. But what I have learned from my stepdad is something as important, which is patience and compassion. Because when you are living with someone else, those two qualities go a long way.”
WTF? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE?!! You monster. You fraud! I refuse to believe this courtly, chivalrous, romantic, gushing, sweet gentleman is the real Justin Timberlake. I have lots of historical evidence to back me up. Exhibit A: Olivia Munn! Exhibit B: Random club girls. Exhibit C: HE IS A DOUCHE. Case closed.
Anyway… I tend to believe Justin has just learned how to talk a good game about how he’s an amazing boyfriend/fiancé/husband, but the reality is something altogether different.

This interview sounds like an attempt to convince his fiancee’s parents that he’s not a total douchebag.

I agree. This sounds like a major PR move as he is going to marry her. I hope she does not think she can ‘change’ him. DB class for sure.

Ugh. I have NEVER figured out this dude’s appeal…he’s just BLECH. I would have pegged him for gay, too…the matching denim ensemble with Britney back in the day reallllyyy made me wonder about him- except most self-respecting gay guys wouldn’t have been caught dead in such a douchy outfit.

Well, he’s a better liar than an actor.

No, he’s a terrible liar. He’s as terrible a liar as he is an actor. A) In print, anything can sound sincere. B) The VAST majority of commenters here aren’t buying what he’s selling. Ergo, he’s a terrible liar.

Interesting.
So I wonder if actually getting married means… he will stop shagging other women now.
But after that little scene that Jessica Biel made at Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala this year, I truly believe she is as big as douche.
So the real question should be… will the marriage last past year 3? Without one of Timberlake’s jump-off’s selling him out to TMZ.

What did Jessica do at the Costume Gala? I must have missed this. Please pass the info on. Thanks. And yes he is a total douche and I saw on Lainey that even Shriners Children’s Hospital was disappointed with him because he didn’t draw enough attention to the cause and he couldn’t be bothered with the chilrend when the cameras weren’t around. If she is as bad as they say then they both deserve each other.

Something along the lines of cutting the long line for the bathroom and said “Do you know who I am”?

I don’t buy it for a second. I generally dislike him a lot but he is funny on SNL and not a bad actor. I don’t care about her either way. They are boring. If he has changed then good for them…but I doubt it.

Something’s “Mickey Mouse” about his interview…really, he doesn’t have the “it” factor to make him a star. Yeah, he’s rich, but he should be really grateful for all his money because he’s not worth it! Another overrated singer/actor when so many others don’t make as much but are so much more talented.

Not even going to read the story, just wanted to say not most wonderful anything. I never saw the attraction of him and he’s a BAD actor with an overgrown ego. Blech.

Even though I don’t super like Biel I think she tries to hard for what reason I don’t know but she can do better than this twirp. Really…like I think Justin is funny in some movies and when he was on SNL–he was super funny. But as far as a datable/marrying object–no thanks. He’s all scruffy and just really looks like an average Jo…plus I keep hearing that he’s a di&k!

I like JT (musically) but everything else he does is meh to me. Dude is full of sh*t though. Didn’t he constantly cheat on this girl but he’s a wonderful romantic guy? Whatever. I swear I remember reading an article that their relationship was the opposite. That she was practically stalking him and he finally went out with her. I’ll have to look.
Found it, it’s from the daily mail SO don’t know how true it is: http://poponthepop.com/2011/03/jessica-biel-stalked-her-way-into-justin-timberlakes-boxers/

Stopped reading when he started talking about chivalry. I really do not think he knows what the word means.

He’s clueless and a cheater and her parents know it. He’s doing this to stay in their good graces while probably screwing everything in sight and telling the women to stay qquiet because Jessica is “fragile”. When she realizes that he’s cheated on her again she’s going to be an absolute nightmare. But she’s good at the long-suffering martyr thing so she might be enjoying all of this.

A. Trying to take attention away from his douchery towards Shriners and getting fired as host of their charity golf tourney and being called out by the chairman.
B. HIS wedding is not getting enough attention and offers from mags so obviously it’s Jessica Biel’s fault, so he is trying to build her up to the media. She’s boring and nothing will change that, just like he is a douche and nothing will change that.

I dont get the JT hate. Maybe it’s because I grew up loving NSYNC. Yep, I’m 26. He may of had his days being a d-bag….but a lot of people do a lot of dumb things and change. Heck, in my college days and before I met my husband I was waaaay wild and waaaay too full of myself. I dated, cheated and overall not a good person to date until I fell in love and realized that love was a selfless act.
Maybe he’s changed? I sure as heck have people believe I’m the same person but marriage and two kids change a person. Maybe JT is changed too.
Lol, I may be the only JT fan on CB.

I don’t get it: first, Jessica gave Justin permission (through her friend) to call her & ask her out, but then when Justin actually did call, he had to be persistent to get Jessica to say she’ll go out with him?

On of my gf s is a stylist and went to do a fitting for some awards show at their place. Said Jess had a drop dead gorgeous bod (obviously). But Justin came in all sweaty & disgusting and when Jess beckoned him to see her outfit… He dismissed her! Real chivalrous. Huh???

I always thought that the media bought into Justin’s version of himself as the victim with Britney and there was something much deeper going on than just she cheated on him and broke his heart. I think he played the victim and the gentleman at the same time. It’s his MO.

Oh definitely. Remember his Barbara Walters interviews?

I do, and it seemed a little smarmy and condescending at the time but seeing him later on and how he treated other women cemented it. I think he falls in love/lust hard and fast and then grows bored with giving the relationship attention. The way he answered the virginity question? The way he made a video about her after saying he’d promised to respect their privacy? He sees himself one way, but reality says something else.

Justin hasn’t even met Olivia Munn. I always thought that rumor was the stupidest. At least the Rihanna fling(s) made sense. Major disservice to refer to Joey Williams as a ‘stripper’ when she is actually a waitress (granted, she is barely dressed in those pictures, but still). They look like they were just talking, hardly incriminating evidence.

Olivia Munn interviewed him and The Social Network cast where they both flirted with each other thru out the interview. Famewhore Olivia and her team sold the story to Us and when asked she played coy so chances are it’s true.

Mary Camden has been wanting the Timber-dick since her 7th Heaven days (Lance Bass went on the show instead). Then she was spotted @ his concerts so I highly doubt she played hard to get.
Matter of fact she said she was waiting for his call while in the pool and had to rush out when he called. LOL

I think he is a decent actor. I was watching “Edison” last night, that wasn’t his best though, good thing it’s free on crackle.com

Us weekly simply reported the interview published on Hello Magazine. If you check Justin’s fansites you can see the scans. Justin talked about her on Jay Leno, after years, but he sounded forced. He didn’t allow questions during press junket and red carpet, I doubt he talked about Jessica during press conference. If it was true, why this story comes out now? It seems to me he did the press conference and press junket around Sept 15. And why an uk tabloid reported it first? The story is a bullshit but I agree that it’s a PR move. Both of them are fake about the each other.

Hes has that leonard dicaprio type reputation. Its like if leo said all this crap everyone would be like are u ok. Thats how I feel about timberlake is he ok. He an actor so he was probably lying or faking it. But it sounds like this wedding is really gonna happen.

I don’t like all the bad language he uses on SNL and I don’t believe that interview either. I think he’s done some pretty good acting but acts like a teenager. He and Jess seem like an odd couple.
