Does anyone else think Justin Timberlake has been looking a little depressed lately? I think he’s been having a rough couple of weeks. He’s dealing with relationship drama as rumors heat up that he and Jessica Biel are minutes away from being dunzo. He just lost the Green Lantern role he was hoping for… to Ryan Reynolds. Then on Tuesday he gets into some kind of beef with a paparazzo, the cause of which is still unknown. I think JT has been taken down a few pegs, but we’ll see. Meanwhile, one of JT’s friends is trying to damage control on the paparazzo incident – saying that the photographer caught Justin “at the wrong time”:
Following Tuesday’s public confrontation between Justin Timberlake and a paparazzo outside a Beverly Hills hotel, a friend of the pop star spoke to OK! to defend JT’s actions.
Marcella Lindeberg, a friend of Justin and also a designer at the singer’s William Rast clothing line tells OK! she was surprised by news of the confrontation.
“I think [the photographer] caught Justin at the wrong time,” she explained to OK! at the launch of the Charlotte Russe fall collections in NYC. “He must have said something really wrong.”
Lindeberg added that the outburst is out of character for the Justin. “He’s really, really nice. But you need to understand also that he has 20 people constantly on him,” she said. “And most of the time he’s fine with it. He’s excellent about it. He’s really welcoming and friendly.”

I would love to know what the paparazzo said to him. But I really enjoyed your theories from yesterday! Stuff like “Bend over” and “kiss me”. I really think the pap must have said something about either Jessica Biel or JT being a p-ssy.
Justin recently sat down for a Twitter question-and-answer. All of the questions were pop culture related, stuff about Robert Pattinson and the Jonas Brothers. JT is pretty funny:
Justin Timberlake reckons Twilight actor Robert Pattinson was blessed with better looks than him.
The star has given his first Twitter Q and A with fans, and when one naughty Tweeter teasingly asked “why aren’t u sexy like Robert Pattinson”, JT replied: “Because God loved him more than me.”
The singer didn’t seem to take things too seriously in the online chat, giving comic responses to questions.
When asked to choose between The Beatles or Stones, the Sexyback singer suggests “they should have made a super group called the Bones”.
As for how he sees himself in 10 years, Justin joked: “Through a mirror and with more wrinkles.”
Fans demanded the answers to some tough questions, like the star’s favourite sauces.
“I believe mustard to be one of the most amazing condiments,” Justin revealed.
But most importantly, we now know who JT’s favourite Jonas Brother is, well, sort of…
“It’s a toss up,” he joked. “Sleepy Jonas or Bashful Jonas?”

Yeah, I don’t think JT sees the Jonas Brothers as any kind of threat to his career. But he does see Robert Pattinson as a threat to his wannabe movie-star career. Is JT seething with jealousy at the thought of guys like Pattinson, Shia LaBeouf, Ryan Reynolds and JT’s former fellow-Mousekeeter Ryan Gosling getting all of the really good scripts? I bet Gosling’s career really irks him in particular. They both started out in Mickey Mouse ears, for the love of God!

Oh stop it JT, you guys are both sexy in your own ways. You have the talent in the singing department, and RP is GETTING the talent in the acting department.
JT should be happy for what he has! The dude has eclipsed the success of his fellow boy banders, a $$$ making clothing line, and Biel, who reportedly has the best ass in the business.
The truth about little Justine will come out one day. He’s like a good carpenter. Not much wood goes to waste.
Was this post just an excuse to post a dozen pictures of Pattinson? Because I approve!
I’m so sure JT is jealous of Ryan Gosling’s career. Because, you know, of the insane amounts of money and notoriety that he has over Gosling.
PrincessJay, have you heard Robert Pattinson sing?! He’s a much better singer than JT.
And Kaiser, I love that even though the story is about JT, you have a ton of pictures of Rob. Priceless.
Somehow I doubt that RPattz is a better singer than Justin.
Either way, both are adorable and Justin’s been my crush for like a decade now. Hahaha.
I’ve heard plenty of stories of JT being not so nice. Like when he spit on fans in Scandinavia and left without tipping (or maybe even paying his bill?) in a fancy restaurant. He’s an ugly dude,too, though many people seem to be fooled in this department. I don’t see how he’s a decent singer, either, though ditto above. He’s not even man enough to ditch his beards and declare his true sexuality. As to Ryan Gosling, Gosling actually has acting talent. Endless ambition does not talent make.
