Justin Timberlake attends Marine Corps Ball, pens eloquent letter in response

timberlakemc1

Well, Justin Timberlake kept his word and attended the Marine Corps Ball on Saturday evening with Corporal Kelsey DeSantis. I believe that Mila Kunis is up next weekend with her date, and she’ll undoubtedly make good on her promise as well. As Kaiser mentioned before, this provides a “bonanza of free, positive publicity” for both JT and Mila, and it truly appears as if JT could use a career boost of some sort because one can only ride on “SNL” goodwill for so long. Musically, he’s done nothing for years, and his last two movies have resulted in rather underwhelming box office results. While Friends With Benefits met with lukewarm reception, In Time was truly a disappointment with a mere $12 million opening weekend. Ouch.

Obviously, Justin Timberlake is no onscreen leading man and can’t really open a movie to save his life. His douchey reputation doesn’t help matters, especially when stories circulate that pin him as a diva who mouths off to restaurant staff. So I really appreciate that JT kept his date with Kelsey DeSantis, but I truly enjoy the fact that, as a combat instructor, she could wipe the floor with his ass if it came down to it. For his part, JT probably secretly dreaded having to attend this event; but he subsequently posted a letter that indicates that he was truly impressed by what he witnessed. In fact, he may have just enjoyed himself and experienced a much needed dose of humility:

To all my family, friends and fans -

I’m writing this out to all of you after attending an event that turned out to be one of the most moving evenings I’ve ever had…

I had the honor and privilege last night of attending The Basic School Instructor Battalion 236th Marine Corps Birthday Ball at the Greater Richmond Convention Center with Corporal Kelsey DeSantis…

I knew I would have an evening that I wouldn’t forget… Something I could tell my friends about. What I didn’t know was how moved I would be by the whole experience.

I’ve always been very vocal about my support of our Armed Forces. I’ve always felt like they offered us the opportunity to live our lives freely without the fear that so many other nations have to endure still to this day. And, they do it without asking for anything in return. I had this very feeling walking into this dinner. So, to say I was stoked to be there would be more than accurate.

As the evening got started, I met Kelsey and we made our way to the ballroom where the Marine Ball was going to be held. I stopped in an area designated as a kind of VIP for some of the officers, I think. I took some photos and shook hands with some of the men and women who take such great care of our freedom. It was nice to be there already.

Then, we moved to the ballroom where the dinner was set up… For a short while, I had the opportunity to sit with Kelsey, get to know her and get a tiny glimpse into what her life as a Marine was like. She talked about her training in mixed martial arts with a passion, a discipline, and a respect. It reminded me of how I hear my favorite athletes talk about their sport or, how I hear my favorites among my peers in music and film talk about their craft.

We sat in this huge ballroom and were the only ones there as, we had beaten the rest of the soldiers who were on their way in. So, we got a decent amount of time to chat before the ceremony started.

She seemed to me to be so humble and honest… Very cool. She also simultaneously seemed like she was nervous about the whole evening and if I was going to enjoy myself. “Are you ok?” she asked 2 or 3 times. “I hope you are having fun. I know you will once my crew of friends get here to the table.” I have to tell you, it’s not every day that I meet a 23 year old girl and she’s more worried about if I’m having fun or if I’m comfortable! It hit me all of a sudden that these were the type of people that look after us and our freedom… Humble, concerned for others before themselves… This was the type of person our Marine Corps was building. I was really blown away.

It seemed like all of a sudden I was surrounded by her great friends and fellow Marines as the closest ones to her made their way to our table. She again assured me that I was going to love all of her friends–that they were a “kick-ass” group of people.

She couldn’t have been more right. I laughed and laughed with all of them almost immediately and felt very close to them… They reminded me of my friends (the ones I like, at least). Cool, un-affected, and real. This was going to be a fun night.

What happened then took me by such surprise that I was almost brought to tears. In fact, our whole table was…

They started the ceremony. And, the next thing I knew I was watching a video about Pearl Harbor/WW2 and the September 11 terrorist attacks… It was a video with some first-hand accounts from some Marines who were there… Telling their stories of the sights and sounds of war and rescue. So vivid and real. So honest but, so filled with a sense of compassion and adoration for this wonderful country. They spoke with a pride that only they could have acquired through their experience as a US Marine. There was a common theme that I began to notice as well… No matter what the situation. No matter how dire…

They were there FIRST.

There on the front lines.

No questions… Just reaction.

While this tribute was playing, you could hear a pin drop. It was a surreal moment to be in that room with so many of our great Marines who have such a different type of connection to those stories. One that we who don’t serve will NEVER understand. It was familial. It was like they were listening to their own blood brothers. I glanced around the room at young men and women, spouses and soldiers… At kids way beyond their years, really… All so deeply entwined. Not just by battle, even though we who have never endured anything remotely close to those experiences and have NO position to comment on… But, by having such life changing experiences through them and to not ever waver in their love and respect for our homeland. That’s what I saw. A faith in us that has been tested time and time again. And, through it all, NEVER a drop of doubt.

I was truly moved.

The evening went on and we ate and took photos and drank and made jokes.

There were some speeches that prompted many “huahs” and applause. There was laughs. We even danced a little.

I felt so proud to be there. I felt like I was getting a chance to be among my heroes. It’s funny too because a lot of them are SO younger than me.

The evening wound down for me as, I had to catch a plane. But, I have to say that I had so much fun with Kelsey and her crew of friends. They were just really nice people… Classy Marines but, not without a great sense of humor. Real individuals but, not without a sense of community.

I said my goodbyes to them but, not before I got a chance to tell them how much the evening had meant to me. They made me feel so welcome to be there and I’ll never forget it.

We all have our own individual views on war… But, doesn’t that speak to just another thing that makes this country so special?? The fact that we can all wake up every morning and BE individual with a pure sense of freedom..? But, one thing that can’t be argued is that it’s because of the people who VOLUNTEER their lives to make sure that it’s protected at all times. And, like I said before, doing so while asking for nothing in return…

To all of you that serve every day for us… Ensuring our freedom, I say: My deepest gratitude to you. I’ve met so many of my heroes… From Michael Jordan to Michael Jackson. And, nothing makes me feel more honor and pride than when I get to meet one of you. Last night changed my life and I will never forget it.

To people like me who get to benefit from this type of person… One with character and courage. With strength and bravery. With humility and honor… I say: Send your thanks. Do it however you can. Write a letter, type an email… Hell, buy ‘em a beer next time you run into someone from our Armed Forces in a bar. When they say thank you for that drink that cost you 3 bucks, they’ll mean it. They won’t take it for granted and, they won’t forget it.

Thank you Corporal Kelsey DeSantis. Thank you for inviting me. And, thank you for being my hero.

- Justin Timberlake

The boy really loves his ellipses to a point of overkill, but this letter seems completely genuine, right? Perhaps JT realized that it really was he who should feel honored to attend a Marine Corps Ball and not the other way around. He’s an entertainer (cry me a river), and these people put their lives on the line for our freedom as a matter of course. Somehow, I think he gets it now, and it looks like he felt a bit awkward and inadequate (as he should) in the below photo. This letter, however, wins him some points and shows that he was honestly engaged in the evening and didn’t just default to his usual douche mode. At least for one weekend.

Amanda Seyfried’s electric blue H&M hot pants: amazing or tragic?

in_time_prem_1_wenn3585553

It’s always interesting to me to see which stars in an ensemble get chosen to represent their film overseas. At the New York premiere of In Time, Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried shared the red carpet with Olivia Wilde and Matt Bomer, two of the other “names” in the film. And now In Time premiered in London last night – and suddenly there’s no Olivia or Bomer. For why? Did JT and Amanda not want to share? Or was it because In Time kind of bombed in the domestic box office and Olivia and Matt Bomer didn’t even feel like traveling to promote the damn thing?

in_time_prem_2_wenn3585554

Regardless, here are some of the photos from the premiere. Amanda wore this electric blue H&M tuxedo-shorts ensemble. I really, really dislike it. Well… I’ll give her some credit for trying something different, for wearing a bold color, and for having an amazing figure. But I will not give her credit for these shorts. These things do NOT belong on a red carpet. At all. Look at how her ass is hanging out (and don’t even start yelling at me – I’m looking at ass cheek shadow, and that shouldn’t happen on a red carpet).

Also: Amanda’s eyes look really druggy to me.

in_time_premiere_16_wenn5747593

For some reason, little Saoirse Ronan was at the UK premiere too. She’s not in the film or anything, so I guess she just wanted to see the movie. I love her little outfit. Perfect for a teenager on a red carpet for a film that isn’t hers.

Cameron Diaz & Jessica Biel are warring over stupid Justin Timberlake

wenn3407924

Star Magazine has an interesting/odd story this week about Cameron Diaz wanting Justin Timberlake back, and how JT’s current girlfriend Jessica Biel is worried about it. Yes, the BS Factor is high with this one, for several reasons. First of all, Cameron just bought a home in England, and my take on Camy’s post-A-Rod love life is that she’s looking for new, fresh meat, and it’s probably going to be an Englishman. Second of all, the stories about Cameron and Justin have been going on ever since they broke up, but especially when they worked together on Bad Teacher. Camy might have gone crazy over A-Rod, but I have to give her credit for behaving professionally around her ex, and he behaved too. Now, all that being said, I bet Biel is worried about Cameron Diaz. But I believe that because Biel should be worried about Cameron and pretty much every chick Justin encounters.

While taking in Paris Fashion week solo in in early October, just days after a romantic Las Vegas getaway with her back-on-beau Justin Timberlake, a glowing Jessica Biel looked like a woman who has fallen in love all over again. But she might not have been so blissful if she’d been aware of the trouble brewing back home. Star has learned that Jessica’s bitter rival for Justin’s heart, his ex Cameron Diaz, wants him back!

“She’s determined to make it happen,” an insider says of Cameron, who broke up with N.Y. Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez in early September. “Cam’s been calling Justin regularly, telling him how much she misses spending time with him and stroking his ego big time. She’s aware that there is still a strong sexual spark between them, plus she makes him laugh a lot. Justin always says that girls who can make him laugh are a big turn-on!”

Cameron, 39, never stopped loving Justin, even after they announced they were ending their three-and-a-half-year romance in late 2006, the insider explains. “When the relationship ended, they said they were just taking a break. It was never meant to be permanent – but then Jessica swooped in.”

Cameron infamously confronted Justin, 30, when she found him flirting with Jessica, 29, at a Golden Globes after party in 2007. She publicly shouted, “What is she, your new f***ing girlfriend?” at him before locking him into a 40 minute argument. But the exes… have long since smoothed things over. And Cam is aware that he is still having problems with Jessica.

“Cameron has told pals that she went wrong the last time, pressuring Justin to marry her,” says the insider. “Jessica is doing that with him now, so Cam’s been saying that marriage is old fashioned and the idea no longer interests her…

“She’s suggested that they meet for dinner again, and Justin has agreed,” an insider says of the pair, who quietly shared a meal in September, around the time of Cameron’s split from A-Rod. “After a few drinks, anything could happen.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, October 24, 2011]

Well, if there’s one thing that JT loves, it’s cheating on Jessica Biel. So maybe this is on – but I doubt it. I think JT might (will) go for the next girl, the next Olivia Munn or the next Mila Kunis, some cute little thing and he play his “Jessica and I are already broken up, sort of” game. I should also give Camy some credit too – I don’t think she’s going to go back for seconds on Justin. At least, I hope she won’t.

Amanda Seyfried talks panic attacks, famous douches & the Trousersnake

seyfriedglamouruk

Amanda Seyfried covers the November issue of Glamour UK with a very 1970s-styled dress and hairdo. She usually does retro looks quite well — it must be those old-school peepers. Aside from her beauty, Seyfried is an odd case. Presumably, she has a fanbase (in some nebulous shape or form) because she easily pulls in box-office gold whenever she stars in those insipid romcoms (that she only does for the money), yet gossip-wise, she is a total bore except for the occasional paparazzi shots of her cute dog. She’s currently promoting In Time, which probably won’t fare well financially because Seyfried in a thriller doesn’t sound all that thrilling, and nobody wants to watch Justin Timberlake as a male lead.

At any rate, I stand by my previous assertions that Amanda is terribly socially awkward; and Amanda discusses her panic attacks within this interview. She also maintains that dating famous guys has contributed to her anxiety level, but that might also be because she’s only dated famous guys who are douches, which are certain to erode any girl’s sense of self worth. Sad, but true:

On Coping With Panic Attacks: [Therapy] has been such a great tool, and my therapist told me that I passed with flying colors, but we’ll see how things go. I still do get terribly nervous, and that’s partly due to the fact I think too much and overanalyze things. I’ll start worrying about my parents or my dog, and I’ll picture him opening the window of my apartment and falling out, even though I can’t get that thing open myself.

On Dating Famous Guys: Dominic [Cooper] and I were together for such a long time, so the coverage was always positive. But when you’ve just started seeing someone and that person is really famous, it’s more of a story. When I was with Ryan [Phillipe], people followed me so much more, and that’s probably one of the reasons that I’m not looking to date someone who’s famous now.

Although I think it’s easier to be in a relationship than be single, I just don’t know if I have the energy at the moment. You don’t have to check in with anybody except your mother, and there’s all this freedom. You realise how many pressures come from being with someone.

On Justin Timberlake: Oh, only a lesbian or a straight man could resist the Trousersnake. Justin really is unique, but he has a difficult life. I mean, he can’t walk down the street anymore and that’s such a shame because freedom is everything.

On Her Favorite Body Part: [N]o matter how much I’ve eaten and how little I’ve exercised, my legs will always be tiny and I don’t have any cellulite – yet. So trust me: you’ll never see me in trousers on the red carpet.

[From Glamour UK]

Panic attacks (with their requisite chest pain, sweating, and tunnel vision) are absolutely horrible to experience, and it’s good to hear that Amanda’s found help through therapy. As a strange little aside though, I suffer from OCD (much like Howie Mandel and quite unlike Megan Fox), which is also an anxiety disorder. However, I have been fortunate enough to only suffer from one panic attack in my entire life, and it occurred in my former shrink’s office. So I guess that tells you how little therapy did for me; but if it helps, especially in the case of an actress who substantially benefits from the privacy guaranteed by doctor-patient confidentiality? More power.

I am slightly puzzed about Amanda’s assertion that her relationship with Dominic Cooper only received positive press. She must have missed those stories about him banging randoms and shagging Lindsay Lohan. Still, I can completely understand her desire to date non-famous men, so hopefully she’ll find a nice non-douche to settle down with. Amanda was obviously (at least according to her) single at the time of this interview, but she is currently dating a real estate executive named Andrew Joblon, with whom she was photographed at the U.S. Open:

fp_7839628_lively_ciara_usopen_mar_23_24

And here are those tiny little legs of which Amanda spoke during the interview. Yes, she was kind of bragging, but at least it wasn’t a Goop-styled humblebrag, right?

Did Jessica Biel go off birth control to “trap” Justin Timberlake with a baby?

biel1

As I mentioned the other day, in these photos, Jessica Biel is wearing one of the cheapest, tackiest-looking baby bumps ever for the re-shoots on New Year’s Eve. Wouldn’t it be funny if she walked in on Justin Timberlake like this and said, “Surprise! It’s just a pillow right now but there’s a baby in here.” That’s basically what The Enquirer claims Jessica has done anyway – their sources say that Jessica has decided to “trap” Justin into a relationship with her by actively trying to get pregnant. Apparently, she’s already off of her birth control?

JESSICA BIEL is telling pals she’s starting a family with JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE – and some insiders think she may even be trying to trap him by getting pregnant!

The “A-Team” beauty recently spent a romantic weekend Colorado with her on/off boyfriend, despite the two breaking up earlier this year.

They are tentatively back together, sources tell The ENQUIRER – and notorious ladies’ man Justin has pledged to tone down his bed-hopping ways.

But while some insiders say Jessica has ditched her birth control in a bid to conceive, sources close to the “Bad Teacher” heartthrob don’t think he’s ready to settle down!

One insider told The ENQUIRER: “Jessica is convinced that Justin is going to propose soon and they are destined to spend the rest of their lives together.

“She’s also telling her friends that she can’t wait to be pregnant.”

Still, Justin and Jessica don’t seem to be on the same page when it comes to having a baby, said another source.

“Justin is going along with it, but the feeling is that he’s just saying what he has to,” explained the source.

“As much as he cares for Jessica, he has promised her the earth before and never followed through.”

[From The Enquirer]

Ugh. I hope Biel isn’t this dumb, but hey, she took him back, so maybe she IS that dumb. Mostly, I’m just trying to figure out what the hell Justin is doing. He and Jessica broke up for seemingly good reasons – he was cheating on her with an array of strange that involved Olivia Munn, and he and Jessica seemed to have nothing in common – but then JT came back to Jessica just months later. And then as soon as he and Biel got “back together,” JT continued to (allegedly) fool around on her with Mila Kunis (both Justin and Mila deny that those sexts are between them, but who believes that?). Oh, and just this week, this happened:

Jessica Biel’s face will go scarlet when she hears about this! The new Us Weekly reveals that Justin Timberlake spent the night of Sept. 14 with another Hollywood beauty: Single-again Scarlett Johansson, his smoking-hot costar in his 2007 “What Goes Around Comes Around” video.

Timberlake, 30, and Johansson, 26, were “hardcore flirting” during a raucous evening at NYC hotspot 1Oak, a witness tells Us. “Other guys were trying to talk with Scarlett, but she was only focused on Justin.”

The duo literally partied until dawn –leaving at 5:30 a.m. and getting pizza next door, the source says. The one-on-one party continued just a few hours after the A-listers closed down 1Oak — when Timberlake showed up at the Iron Man 2 actress’ midtown penthhouse apartment.

Greeting the doorman and introducing himself as “Justin,” Timberlake “wasn’t even low-key” about his visit, another witness noted. (Reps for both stars deny the visit took place.)
“They’ve hooked up several times over the years,” a pal confirms of the pair. But Timberlake just got back together with longtime love Biel, 29, merely a month ago.

“For the moment,” another insider says, “she’s trusting him.”

[From Us Weekly]

And Biel still stays with him. It’s like she doesn’t realize that she has a perfectly good “out”: he’s a lying, cheating SOB. He’s not going to change. He didn’t change in the first four years, and he’s not changing now. He’s not going to give you the ring and the baby, at least not in the way you want it. It’s not like she’s in the same position as her BFF, Jennifer Garner. Garner has two kids with her jagoff cheater husband, and Garner actually got the ring. But maybe Biel thinks that if she can get knocked up, she and JT will be as happy as Garner and Affleck? Hahaha. Honestly, my opinion of Biel is pretty low in general, but it makes me sad that she thinks THIS is the best she can do.

Scarlett Johansson hangs & bonds w/Justin Timberlake over hacking scandals

scarjojt1

Earlier this week, two glorious cellphone hacking scandals — starring the boobtastic Scarlett Johansson and the douchetastic Justin Timberlake — were revealed to the internet. In an interesting twist, Life & Style just sent us news of their exclusive eyewitness account of Scarlett and Justin’s semi-public meetup to “help each other weather the storm” over their mutual embarrassment. Of course, this is an interesting development because ScarJo and JT have been the subject of much romantic speculation a few times already. In 2007, Scarlett starred in a ridiculous movie video for one of Justin’s songs (and then supposedly rejected him). More rumors surfaced in January and June of this year after ScarJo split with Ryan Reynolds. Now, Life & Style‘s article makes it look like ScarJo is sweet on Justin, but now he’s the one who’s not interested. Hmm.

If Justin Timberlake and Scarlett Johansson are struggling to cope with the alleged hacking scandals that hit them both this week, they’re not letting it show. In fact, Life & Style can reveal that the old friends met up this morning to help each other weather the storm by doing what they do best: partying!

At 3:30 a.m. on Sept. 15, the two stars arrived together at NYC hot spot 1Oak and were said to be having a great time in each other’s company.

“They were dancing and talking to each other all night like old friends,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style. “People were surprised that she showed up with him, but they both seemed happy to see each other.”

Scarlett, 26, is reportedly working with the FBI to find out who hacked into her cell phone and distributed what appear to be naked photos of the blond beauty, which appeared on the web on Sept. 14. Justin, 30, is said to be going through a similar situation: Photos showing the singer in “compromising positions” were allegedly taken from the cell phone of his Friends With Benefits co-star Mila Kunis and could reportedly appear online soon.

But neither star showed signs of stress at the hot spot. “He was all smiles with her,” adds the eyewitness.

“Scarlett and Justin left together with two of his friends around 5 a.m. and hopped into a black SUV,” the eyewitness tells Life & Style. “You can tell the two are great friends and had a blast together. Scarlett seemed really into him, but he didn’t seem interested because of Jessica Biel. It was like he just considers it a friendship.”

As Life & Style previously reported, Justin has recently rekindled his romance with Jessica Biel. Scarlett and Justin have been friends ever since she appeared in his 2006 music video for “What Goes Around Comes Around.”

[From Life & Style]

So if Justin is hanging out with Scarlett, where exactly did he leave girlfriend Jessica Biel for the evening? Maybe Jessica’s angry at him for those leaked Mila Kunis pics. Or maybe JT just spends time with everyone else but Jessica. She sure puts up with a lot to be his girlfriend-in-name; I have to wonder exactly what she gets out of the relationship and how long she’ll deal with his crap before giving up for good.

jtesquire1

Meanwhile, Timberlake is still promoting In Time, so he covers the October issue of Esquire. I actually rolled my eyes when I saw his face staring up from inside the mailbox this afternoon. Still, I devoured the interview in hopes that there’d be something worth excerpting. What awaited was truly shocking not so much for JT himself but because it was quite unlike the kind of negative celebrity profile for which Esquire has recently acquired the reputation of printing. If you’ll recall, they’ve done doozies on Matthew McConaughey, Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, and Brooklyn Decker. In sharp contrast, this journalist — a (presumably) gay man named Chris Jones — might be the biggest JT fan that exists today.

Exactly what has gotten into Esquire? My theory is that Timberlake’s rep got wind of all the negative interviews coming from Esquire lately and asked for someone who treats douches sympathetically. And someone who might possibly also offer to blow him too. I’m not joking on that last part either. At the beginning of the interview, the journo agrees to Justin’s idea to dress up like Bert and Ernie and attend San Diego Comic-Con in disguise. After the two suit up, the journo gets all excited and writes, “I think I might try to blow him later.” It only gets worse from there in terms of hero worship with stuff like “Timberlake is one of those rare performers who can be all things to all people.” The rest of the profile provides no illuminating information but merely a series of observations about what it’s like to wander around SDCC with JT while dressed up as Sesame Street characters:

jtesquire3

Fame is a very strange thing. Lots of people ask to take our photos, and they stand between us, smiling, thumbs-up. None of them has any idea who they’re really taking their picture with. Timberlake gets visibly nervous the more closed in we get, his legs jittery, his big head swiveling side to side. I’ve asked him to take off his mask at some perfect moment this afternoon, to give some teenage girl the thrill of her young life. “No way, dude,” he says, “You have no idea what it’s like.” Today is the first time he’s walked this freely around in public, he says, since 2001, maybe 2002, since he began making the remarkable transition from boy-band tenderfoot to solo singer to all-around entertainer to sketchy Ernie guy. “I can sometimes walk around New York if I dress the right way,” he says, “but that’s it.” [T]oday, this afternoon, thanks to his ridiculous costume, he’s able to stand in the middle of things again, without fear, without needing [his bodyguard] to stand between him and the love. I might feel like more of a celebrity than I’ve ever been, but he’s happily been feeling like less of one. “You’re witnessing one of the most memorable days of my life,” he says.

Poor JT and his trappings of fame, right? The interview also features a brief appearance by a “shy-seeming Amanda Seyfried” (told you so) who was also present at SDCC. Other than a drooling journalist, however, the Esquire piece arrives little else besides a photoshoot of Justin looking like a total tool in a “Man on Fire” theme. Allegedly, there were no special effects used in this shoot, but I’ll let you be the judge of that:

Mila Kunis’s cell phone pics of Justin Timberlake were reportedly hacked

wenn3441016

I’ve lost track of how many celebrity women have been hacked. I’ve lost track of how many celebrity women take naked photos of themselves with their cell phones. I’ve never really understood why ladies do that, celebrity ladies, or non-celebrity ladies. I’d rather eat fire than take naked photos of myself, but I’m sure that’s just me. Anyway, after Scarlett Johansson’s naked photos two days ago, Mila Kunis is the latest victim of the so-called “celebrity-hacking ring” which makes it sound like there’s some organized group of hackers all working in concert to get grainy photos of celebrity boobs. Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t. To me, it feels like some of the hacking jobs have been done by professional hackers who know what they’re doing, and some “hacking” jobs are just from carelessness by celebrity women, or the women actively want those photos in the public sphere. To be fair, I don’t think ScarJo wanted the boob photos out, and Mila is so tightly organized, I haven’t seen any of her hacked photos on any site yet. TMZ has more on this Mila thing:

Mila Kunis is the latest celebrity whose cell phone has been hacked, and the hacker is leaking several pictures of a seductive Justin Timberlake … TMZ has learned.

Four pictures have been leaked, including two which show Justin — one, laying shirtless in a bed, and another in which J.T. is jokingly sporting a pair of pink panties over his head. Kunis is not featured in either of the pics.

There’s another photo of Mila in a bathtub, but all you see is her head. And then there’s another photo of a male which is explicit in nature, although his identity is a mystery.

There are also some texts and the hacker claims they reveal exchanges between Justin and Mila.

As we first reported, we’re told Scarlett Johansson is going to the FBI today after nude photos of her that were hacked from her cell phone were published this morning.

We could not reach Kunis for comment.

[From TMZ]

ScarJo contacted the FBI, and I suspect that Mila is probably working with the authorities too, which is why Mila’s photos have been relatively contained thus far. I guess it’s interesting to point out that once again, I was right – it looks like Mila and Justin were up to something at some point, probably in the Spring and Summer of this year. At some point, it looked less like Justin was begging for it and more like he had already hit it. Told ya so.

wenn3451769

By the way, the hacked Mila photos sound a lot less offensive than her Terry Richardson photo shoot for GQ. I’m just sayin’.

Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried pose as the “perfect” couple for W Mag

jtseyfried0

Amanda Seyfried and Justin Timberlake cover the upcoming issue of W Magazine to promote In Time, a futuristic thriller that hits theaters on October 28. Before we get into this interview, it’s necessary to recall the recent Interview Magazine piece where Amanda suggestively told JT that she’d “just stepped out of the shower” when he called so that he would know that she was naked. Yes, she was flirting with him like mad, and I think the girl has some serious self-esteem issues as well. Mostly, I base the latter opinion on a very uncomfortable Craig Ferguson interview where Amanda repeatedly calls herself “boring” and generally looks in danger of shrinking into the chair cushions at any given moment. Interestingly, she also mentioned being in the shower once while talking to Ferguson too, so maybe that’s her default “suggestive” line; but the fact remains that Amanda, while completely gorgeous, really is a pretty boring individual and is only truly fascinating in terms of her dog.

Amanda is a very pretty but odd bird, and Kaiser wanted me to mention that she’s got horrible taste in men, so it would make sense if she’s into JT. After all, she dated Ryan Phillippe and still nurses (as recently as this past June) an on-off relationship with Dominic Cooper, who not only repeatedly cheated on her but also hooked up with Lindsay Lohan while he and Amanda were together. Definitely, JT fits right in Amanda’s “type,” which consists of self-absorbed, cheating douches; yet I think that she could do so much better even though, in this interview, she admits to being fixated with the idea of dating her co-stars. She also brings up Megan Fox too, which makes me think that they got along pretty well while working together and might both suffer from the socially awkward dilemma in their interviews:

On Sex Scenes: Sex scenes are great. A lot of my costars have been sexy guys my age, and so, why not? I’m not going to pretend it’s not fun. Justin was great-he had come from doing Friends With Benefits, where he basically had sex every day at work-and so it was easy for both of us. We just kind of got it on, and then were like, “That was good!”

On Being A Closet N’Sync Fan: I went to four different proms in high school. I was addicted to the whole ballroom thing. But it was embarrassing to be an ‘N Sync fan in high school. I was into them in middle school. I definitely danced in my friend’s basement for hours and hours to ‘N Sync’s first album.

On Kissing Megan Fox: Jennifer’s Body is my favorite movie that I’ve done. It was overlooked in theaters, but it does have a DVD following. I can’t believe nobody wanted to see Megan Fox and me hitting it. They had an extreme close-up of our tongues, and I’m telling you, the thing about the scene is that it’s actually really sexy. For a young girl to say that about her own sex scene-it must be because it’s special. I think Megan and I kissed really well together. We have similar kissing styles and it worked. We got it done for the masses, and the masses still didn’t show up.

On Doing Romcoms: I love acting like I’m in love. It’s a very positive thing. Making a movie is, in general, romantic. It’s very special, very intimate. So you can see why a lot of actors get together. When you’re young, it’s hard not to get together with your costar. But I’ve been doing this long enough to know that it’s usually not the greatest idea.

Isn’t it weird how Amanda’s changed her tune on romcoms? Before now, she only claimed to do them for the money, but now she apparently loves acting like she’s in love. Well, she’s good at doing just that, which is about the extent of my feelings on that subject.

As for JT’s half of the interview, there aren’t many interesting quotes from which to pull, but he does describe his performance in the much maligned Southland Tales as “performance art.” Of course, I have unavoidably started assuming that every time one mentions “performance art,” it’s either a subtle or not-so-subtle dig at James Franco, but that’s probably not the case here because JT goes on to admit that he really didn’t understand the film at all. In all fairness, I don’t think anyone understood Southland Tales, and I only appreciated that movie because Dwayne Johnson was present in all of his overacting, buffed-up glory. Back to this W interview though, which features a few decent self-deprecating tidbits from JT:

On How The Acting Thing Started: In films, I didn’t crave the type of attention I had sort of stumbled into in my music career. And I do not audition well. I’m really not good at it. Early on, I did movies like Alpha Dog and Black Snake Moan because the directors didn’t ask me to audition.

On Planning His Every Career Move: It’s different now, but in the past I’ve had some accidents, for sure. I think I have to laugh about the fact that I grew up in public. All these weird stages in my teenage years are documented. Why did no one tell me how terrible some of those outfits were?

On Avoiding Typecasting: After The Social Network, I got two or three sociopaths pitched to me. I didn’t want to play that again. It’s the same for musicians-once you do a song that’s a big deal, you get pitched a similar song. But just like I didn’t want my second album to sound like my first album, I want all the characters I play to be distinct and different.

The interview arrives with slightly overwrought photoshoot featuring JT and Amanda all dolled up as the “picture-perfect political couple.” Obviously, they’re not doing it yet, but Amanda is dropping hints like crazy that she would totally go there if JT was game. Oddly, Life & Style just published a report that JT and the long-suffering Jessica Biel are planning to marry, which was supposedly a condition to their limp-wristed reunion a few months ago even though he’s probably fooling around on Biel again. In Hollywood, it’s a sure sign that a guy won’t marry a girl when he takes his mom to the Oscars instead, right? So Amanda definitely still has a shot at the JT douche ride and definitely meets the height standards for admission.

Gwyneth Paltrow & Justin Timberlake were honored to win Emmys. Not.

“An Emmy?!? How gauche.” – Goop

Justin Timberlake and Gwyneth Paltrow are the same, you know. Both are incredibly dated, both think they are God’s gift to Hollywood, both are snotty mean girls, both “dabble” in music, and both still use “NOT” as a legit joke. As in, “Gwyneth and JT are cool. NOT.” And now they have one more thing in common – they both won Emmys! Believe it or not, I think JT was probably deserving of his Emmy – he got the Outstanding Guest Star in a Musical/Comedy for his Saturday Night Live appearance. JT has won two Emmys before – one in the same Outstanding Guest category in 2009, and one in 2007 for the music for “D-ck in a Box”. Meanwhile, Dame Goop won her Outstanding Guest Star Emmy for her horrible, uncool, pitchy, uncomfortable, singing and booty-shaking performance on Glee. Jesus, Emmy voters. Don’t encourage her.

The Creative Arts Emmy Awards — you know, that other Emmy ceremony — handed out dozens of awards Saturday night in Los Angeles before the upcoming primetime ceremony, airing live on Fox Sept. 18.

The night’s biggest recipients were Gwyneth Paltrow, who won an Emmy for her guest starring role on Glee, as well as Justin Timberlake, who took a statue for his most recent hosting gig on Saturday Night Live. Deadliest Catch was the most sentimental winner: The reality show (which submitted Capt. Phil Harris’ final episode) won an award for outstanding non-competition reality show. It also won the gold in categories like best cinematography and picture editing.

Survivor‘s Jeff Probst took home another statue for best reality show host. The night’s other notable recipients included Loretta Devine (outstanding guest star, Grey’s Anatomy), Paul McCrane (oustanding guest star, Harry’s Law) American Masters (outstanding nonfiction series) and Futurama (outstanding animated program). And hey, The Walking Dead earned some gold for its great work with prosthetics.

Overall, HBO won the most awards with 15, followed by PBS (10) and Fox (9). Among shows, Boardwalk Empire took the most, followed by Deadliest Catch (4) and Gettysburg (4). The awards will air on Reelz Channel Saturday, Sept. 17.

So I guess Kathy Griffin didn’t win? Guess not. But I do love Kathy’s yearly tales from the Schmemmys. I saw some photos from the Creative Arts Emmys too – Kathy was there. Neither Gwyneth nor Justin made it. That’s how much they give a crap. NOT. Gwyneth was probably in London still, doing fashion events and work for Coach, while Justin… um… I saw photos of him at the US Open. Guess he just didn’t feel like coming to pick up his award. You know both JT and Gwyneth will probably be at the big Emmy ceremony this weekend, though.

Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel’s romantic getaway, break up already or meant to be?

wenn5472804
I’ve lost track of the many times that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have broken up and gotten back together. It’s clear that they have a pattern: They step away, see other people until it goes bad, (usually Justin is the one seeing other people, but Jessica is usually linked to a few guys too), and then reconcile. A lot of couples do that, and I’ve seen this same pattern play out with non-famous people. There are married guys who try to pull similar bullsh*t on their wives too, because they’re the type of guys who need constant attention and want a devoted wife at home and some stupid piece on the side who will tell them how great they are. When both people are single, though, it’s like the guy wants the freedom to date, and can’t give up the security blanket of having a girlfriend. The woman (usually) thinks he’ll eventually come around and commit because they’re so clearly meant for each other, but it just doesn’t happen. At least they’re not married yet.

Anyway, here’s Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, take 20-something.

Talk about a happy rendezvous! Life & Style can exclusively reveal that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were side-by-side the entire weekend in Toronto, where the two shared multiple cups of coffee, dinners and brunches together! “Justin and Jessica came into Ella’s Uncle coffee shop not once but three times this weekend: Saturday evening, Sunday morning and just this morning,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style. “They seemed so comfortable, happy and at ease every time.”

“They literally couldn’t stop staring and smiling at each other,” the eyewitness explains, adding that the pair were as cute as ever: “Justin seemed completely smitten with Jessica, and she had this permanent smile on her face, and they joked around with each other. Jessica even recommended Justin get her favorite, the Americano, but Justin opted for the Ella, a double cappuccino with maple syrup.”

They certainly needed the extra caffeine: On Sunday the pair enjoyed a bike ride together on Queen St. West. That same day, they stopped for a cozy brunch at Swan Restaurant.

“Yes, they came into Swan together and sat in the back,” a second eyewitness tells Life & Style. “Justin had scrambled eggs and Jessica had an omelet. Jessica must have suggested it because Justin’s not here very often, but she comes in a lot.” And the always-funny Justin kept Jessica fully entertained. “They were laughing and having such a good time,” the second eyewitness adds. “They enjoyed their food, but they seemed to enjoy each other much more!”

Justin, who is due back in New York City, recently revealed that he’s definitely not over Jessica: “She is the single most significant person in my life,” Justin said.

[From Life & Style]

I would think that some restaurant was going for free publicity with this story, but L&S got detailed menu information from both a restaurant and a coffee shop, so it reads more like a publicist’s piece. Kind of like the rumors in July that they were “quietly” back together, then the rumors that Justin was “quietly” cheating on Jessica. It won’t be long before we hear the same story again, rinse and repeat. Will Jessica ever put her foot down and refuse to take him back? She hasn’t done it in the several years they’ve been together.
