Lately everything Justin Timberlake touches seems to turn to gold. Well, with the exception of Britney Spears of course. But pretty much everything else associated with Justin seems to do well, and now he’s decided to branch out into television production. I have no idea what he’s ever done that makes him qualified to produce TV, but apparently people that know a lot more about television than I do (Hi Jeff Zucker!) seem to think Timberlake’s got what it takes. And/or they’re hoping he’ll bring sexy back. Sorry, it’s hard not to make that joke. Justin is executive producing a new show for NBC called, “My Problem with Women,” an American adaptation of a Peruvian comedy.

Timberlake will serve as an executive producer for the first time on a scripted television project.

“I am very excited to be collaborating with Reveille to bring this hugely successful format to NBC,” Timberlake said.

The show is about a young bachelor who sees a therapist to try and figure out his romantic problems. It is based on Mi Problema con las Mujeres, which has been sold to 20 countries around the world.

The American version will be produced by Reveille, Frecuencia Latina International and Power

Adapting one show in multiple countries has become incredibly popular in the last ten years. There are a ton of shows that didn’t really translate, but a few notable ones that have done exceptionally well, like “Ugly Betty,” and “The Office.” Howard T. Owens, one of the other executive producers, says Justin’s on board because “We think he is one of the best artists in the world across different platforms, and we want to tap his creative energy and storytelling abilities.” Huh. Most of the storytelling I’ve heard Justin Timberlake do involves seducing women, one night stands, and laughing at Britney Spears when she found out that Kevin Federline did to her what she did to Justin. Ain’t that the way it goes.
