Justin Timberlake Disrespects Journalists
Filed under: Justin Timberlake > Legal Matters > Media Minute
Justin Timberlake reportedly is acting all Tom Cruise-y with journalists attending this weekend's press junket for his new flick, Love Guru.
Timberlake's handlers reportedly have demanded that journalists sign crazy ass confidentiality agreements before being granted an audience with Timberlame.
The contract demanded among other things, that the journalist not mention anything personal or private, destroy all materials not approved in advance, and make freelancers personally liable for anything they might write about the former boy bander.
Someone's success seems to have gone to their head!
All together now: Justin Timberlake is a major DOUCHE.

because justin is gay and his people are trying to stop the press from what is being leaked next week
He seems to be all over just unpleasant. Being rude to fans when approachad in the middle of his tour. Come on! You don't cuss them out when they wait for you and want your autograph or spit on them from your hotel balcony. I get it if he's between albums and just having time off somewhere but not when in the middle of a tour or doing publicity for a project. He needs to understand who decide weather he stands or falls. It's up to the people.
Major DOUCHE
uhm… it sounds like every other privacy clause that every other celebrity has written into those types of contracts. And HE would not be the douche if anyone was being douche-y…it would be his publicists. They are the ones that write that stuff.
In an age where celebrities get more press coverage about their personal lives rather than their talents - I feel he's making a smart choice. JT is proving himself with his talents - not entertaining us with his personal drama. He's doing the right thing…..of course Perez is going to be upset - he makes his livelihood off of other people's misfortune.
he's lame anyways!!!!…douche…
never did like him….loved JC Chasez
GOOD FOR HIM! LAST TIME I CHECKED, IT WAS HIS LIFE!
This will be so stupid, since it is, but because I was the only one here…..
FIRST!!!!
LOL I know, it's lame. Not doing that again.
JT is awesome it's reporters that lie about half the shit they print that makes celebritities do this…whats the problem with him wanting to make sure what people write about him is legit?
JT RULES!
You mean he wants control of them for once? I like it. Its about time. If youve got em by the ballz, go for it. but me thinks this will backfire on him though..we shall c.
I never liked him or his music. It seemed like he had a big ego. I'm not surprised.
What a douche.
so let me get this straight — SOME OF YOU buy "celebrities" music or watch their movies (therefore giving them money) because you expect in return to see pictures of them in their private lives, or read made up stories about them (because they are more exciting than your own)? So if they don't give you this "respect" and let you into every little detail of their private lives, then you won't buy their music or see their movies? What happened to just liking them for the music and their acting? I don't get it. Crazy world!
I think it's about time celebrities took control of what is said about them. It's their career for crying out loud, they still need to live a "normal" life. You go Justin!!
he is major douche.
am sorry but he was nothing b4 britney started dating him, the band was nothing b4 britney was supporting them, jackass still loves her, y would he still go on aba her so much til 2day, prob sic of ppl askin him aba wats her name, o talentless jessica biel n wen hes gonna pop the question, jackass propbly makes her sign 1 b4 they have sex
"Justin Timberlake is a major DOUCHE."
QFMFT
whatever. this fake ass wannabe-usher just doesn't want the press asking him if he's gay, despite it being so obvious.
why is that so wrong? he has a right to his personal life. we do not need to know everything!
then the idiot shouldn't of pursued a career in where he was going to get famous…what a loser!!
he's gay and he's trying to keep it quiet.
I think it is a great thing that he has the journalists sign confidentiality agreements that are detailed. He should be able to protect himselfappropraitely. With all the paps out there, it is hard enough for stars to have any personal privacy or protection- why not allow him to establish protection for himself and his name. At least he is not allowing journalists to write whatever they want and then bitch about it after the interview or initiate a defamation suit.
I worked on a movie with him and if you were just regular crew he wouldn't even look you in the eye. What a dork. Even Spielberg will say hello.
i don't think it's a bad thing for him to want to protect himself from the obvious extortion some journalists try to get away with. anything worth printing would be allowed under this agreement anyway.
don't condemn him for being smart about his celebrity. not all of them have to want their business all over the internet like Brit or LezLo
Ummmmm? doesn't your Santa Angelina do the same thing.
I guess that makes her a major DOUCHE TOO!
Nothing wrong with that.
IF they didn't like it, they didn't have to say!
TEAM JUSTIN!
Good for him! Good for him for standing up to the journalists that write untrue things. Good for him for wanting to try and keep part of his life normal. Good for him for wanting to have a private life. Good for him for wanting respect.
Oh Perez, you are SUCH a kiss ass, protecting the journalists/media, as if they
would NEVER print anything inappropriate, or take something he says out of context and use it against him. I see nothing wrong with Justin making sure they can't use his words (that he's kind enough to offer, because he doesn't have to) against him. Fuck you if you don't like it, hypocrite.
IT DOES NOT SURPRISE ME… HE JUST SEEMS SO ARROGANT TO ME!! I JUST HOPE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT BEFORE BUYING HIS NEXT CD
Re: Jelly – Maybe he pursued a career in something he loves — music — and not a CAREER IN BEING FAMOUS!
ok perez dude u dont have to make such a huge deal about this ! he probably went through certain obstacles before with the press! u cant blame the men for wanting to protect his integrity
I'm sorry but YES..he can do anything he wants… He's too f*ckin HOT to argue with..
So much for freedom of the press… He's such a douchebag. I guess he's only doing all of that to make sure no one ever finds out his hair is actually a wig - amde from pubic hair!
He's not a douche, but I'm sure that he doesn't want to be bombarded with, "What do you think about Britney?" or "What's going on with you and Jessica?" questions while he's trying to promote a movie. Journalist (aka tacky Celemags) are really only interested in his personal life, so as a "Haha kiss my ass" to them, he's doing the right thing. You go Justin!
Did anyone see him on Oprah today? He's a majorly nice and down to earth guy.
he is the biggest douche bag i've ever met! i hate him and wish he would just disappear! he sucks.
Might as well face it, Perez, you big fat gay girl. You're more at fault than anyone that these confidentiality agreements exist. If you suck your food from the bottom of the pond, you're gonna scoop up some scum, pal. Don't cry!
he is a douche he only cares about himself
communist
Journalists need to be more accountable for what they write. Sometimes the glimmer of a headline is more desirable than journalistic integrity.
There is not a damn thing wrong with not wanting the entertainment magazine writers to twist his words. I think that ALL artists should have these agreements. I'm sure he's tired of reading crap that isn't true (i.e. that he is a douche). I've met him. He's the sweetest celebrity on earth. But not everyone can be kind 24/7, you should know first hand about that Perez.
WTG JT! Ya'll cross the line WAY TO FUCKIN MUCH, don't deny it!
So a man has to do what a man has to do to keep BULLSHIT down to a minimum. They should be held liable for all their actions…ALL OF IT:)
why don't people just stop writing about him. I haven't heard anything about him and a while and I can't say I'm missing anything. He's a bore.
Angelina Jolie does the same exact thing and so does a TON of other A-list celebrities. Stop trying to make Justin Timberlake into something he's not. If I were him I'd sue your fat (never-going-to-be-healthy) ass.
he's not a douche, he just doesn't want people making shit up. for example you perez, you had a pic of jesse mcartney boozin' and said oh look at the 18 year old ryan sheckler with him…was that ryan sheckler? no. just kind of resembled him, so you said it was him
THAT is why celebs make journalists sign these agreements…………think about it
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! This guy can do whatever the hell he wants! I mean common, he obviously wants privacy, and these are the precautions he is taking….my suggestion to celebrities is follow in his footsteps! It will put the media in their place for God's sake!
all journalists are required to sign this shit….nothing new perez…report something worthwhile you piece of shit
Re: Mimi –
you're a douche bag, gah!
Omg, paparazzi and journalist have to be respectful to a famous persons private life?? GET OUT!!
see what you have to realize Perez is that he is promoting a movie… so therefore reporters should only ask him about the film, alot of celebs do the same thing, but why do you insist on calling him a douche!!! its just common courtesy, so ask your self this would you want these reporters hounding you about who your dating when you are trying to promote your clothing line… i think not they could probably care less about it….
Oh, so he's a douche because he's protecting himself. For a confidentiality agreement, it's pretty short and specific. Press should be grateful for that.
You're overreacting, douchebag.
I love Justin and I personally think he's got the right idea in doing this. Keeps things from coming up in the future.
What happened to him?
Um, looks like a pretty standard junket wavier to me…
i am so sick of these artists… the reason they get this way is because we give them the idea that we idolize them. I wish journalists would grow some balls one day and just choose not to give these douche bags any attention..then you'll see how they change.. WE CREATED THESE MONSTERS, BUT ONCE CREATED THEY HAVE THEIR OWN WAY….. WE NEED TO BRING THESE DOUCHE BAGS BACK TO EARTH.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Why all the disrespect?
I TOLD U HE WAS A DOUCHE!
when ur a douche ur a douche, for him it comes naturally.
lol if so many people hate JT so much, you'd think they would be GLAD to be denied tabloid material about him. Hyprocrites!
OH NO, HE WANTS THEM TO NOT BE PSYCHO! BURN HIM AT THE STAKE! BECAUSE HEAVEN FORBID HE ACTUALLY HOLDS ON TO HIS PRIVACY!
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHHAHAHHHHAHAAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'THE JUSTIN LOVE' lives on Perez, get over it and stop wasting your fucking time with these lame-ass-not-really-a-story reports all purely based on the fact that he blew you off at one time (and not in the good way….). He's NOT a douche, he's entitled to have these restrictions which are all legal and NORMAL for all celebs, and as one blogger cleverely pointed out……he is at the top of his game at the moment and it's fine if he's not to your taste, but get over it and at least realise the man is a seriously talented, multi-tasking, HOTTTTTTTIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOOOOOOOO JUSTINNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can understand his side of it. It's a press event that is supposed to be focused on the movie Love Guru. There really is no relevant reason to ask him personal questions in that setting. He's not saying he is against answering the questions period he just feels this is the inappropriate place to address those issues. Sorry to sound like a celeb's mouthpiece but my major is Public Relations. lol
He's a douche for wanting to maintain his privacy?!? uh…..ok.
Talented but boring….and yes extremely arrogant….it will catch up to him.
justin timberlake is not a douche. he takes control of his life and demands respect. like any good person should.
what an ass! with out them where would JT be no were because he needs them to get publicity and they need people like him to make head lines.
If Celebrities are famous for their talent, then he would no be one of them!!! Three words: Douche, Douche and Douche!!! Plus respect for him??? For what? its not like he has any respect for fans nor journalist!!!! People who actually think JT is hot or talented are DEAF and BLIND!
back off perez. i love you and all but i don't think anything is wrong with what he's doing
He is HOT . Love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely LOVE him and I'm a journalist. His request is pretty insulting. If he doesn't want info out, don't answer the question. "No comment" is a perfectly fair and acceptable answer. He's been doing this long enough to know how to avoid interview tricks.
What a loser!! He's lucky he's not flipping burgers at McDonals. He's a non-talent, effeminate, fugly dog.
Real "journalist" don't work press junkets. The "ones" that do, are ass-wipe flunkies who ask stupid questions. I'd tell them to fuck off too.
not douchey at all. i totally would do the same thing. he doesnt wanna turn into the next britney or lindsay, or having shit talked about him on here haha
i think got WORST when he got with jessica beil
Perez is jelous because he doesn't have Justin's cock inside his big bunhole!!!!
Perez!!! I am ashamed of you! I usually love you but talking bad about JT is just a no-no. He rocks!! One of the most down to earth celebrities. And enough already about him and Britney!! They were like 10, when they went out. Who flippin cares???
So I see you got this story from anorak which does satire news on stories out of the UK tabloids and celebrity gossip. Real reliable perez, not that I would blame timberlake for doing what alot of other A-list stars do so they don't have to sit there and keep just saying, no comment, no comment to all the personal questions.
Where has his manfriend Jessica B been lately?

WHY does anyone like this hobbit little ugly highschool midget????? Must be his bank account. He has nooooooo body and fuggly face. He doesn't even sing although he's a wigger. He's an asshole, fuck him, he needs a beatin.
He is such an ass. When your in the business you'll have paparazzi up your ass…he such a wuss and he needs to fucking deal with it and get the hell of this world he is such an ugly fucker.
Good for him. Journalists are ignorant pieces of shit that are full of themselves. Journalism isn't a profession, it's an occupation; much like flipping burgers.
U have to be like that u dont know what those journalists will write!
uh, perez, what happened to not giving Justin anymore posts…?
fyi, he is not important.
I see nothing wrong with a celebrity in the midst of a media community that is well known for creating salacious stories to try and protect themselves from the same fate as Britney Spears and the like.
justin had a twin sister named laura…but she died soon after birth.
i get that you're looking after your own interests perez, but he has the right to not pander to leeches like you and i. you slam people like spener and heidi for pandering to the press, and when he wants a right to privacy you want to deny him that? Wow, someone who just wants to be an artist… shocking
justin can request what he likes there's so many stupid rumors going around.and with gay ass hole's like you perez. i dont blame him you jelous gay bastard.
This is pretty standard for big celebrities. They can have crazy and weird demands, after all i run a company that books them for private events. Did you know that Jennifer Lopez has to have an all white dressing room, with white candles, carpet, furniture and more. We took care of it to please our client, but it was a major pain in the ass. Check out our celebrity booking company.

next a spaceship is going to fly out of his ass
did you ever think he is probably sick of being followed every fucking where?
JT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A DOUCHE. PEOPLE ARE STUPID, THOUGH, AND EAT THIS KINDA POP CRAP UP!
Re: Lissy – I couldn't have said it better myself!!!
God, what's the point of all that?!?! It's not like Timberlame ever has anything interesting to say anyway! Why can't these 'stars' just decline to answer questions they don't like and move on from there? Does EVERYTHING have to be pre-ordained?!?
Re: bruce – agreed. I think its necessary, this is about the movie, not his personal life. And if you actually read the thing, its not him personally saying "sign this bitch" its his management and the Spyglass Entertainment. I'm sure he had no hesitation in agreeing to that though, he's already hounded enough.
Why is he a douche for not wanting to be harassed and stalked by paparazzi. I'm sick of reading how "journalists" spin whatever is said by celebrities into something that makes headlines aka money. We live in a sad world.
Just because you're a celeb doesn't mean you need your private matters splashed across every magazine. If he didn't give interviews, he'd be a douce. When he does give interviews and asks for privacy, he's a douche. He can't win. With all the other celebs that let personal info flow like a river, it's nice to see someone like him who wants to keep his private life just that, private.
good for him. them journalists trip out and he is covering himself. im sure that stuff is very necessary.
loves the timmbbzzz
Probably got some tips from Madonna and her success.
Not rocket science here, folks.
He doesn't want to be forced to engage any questions about his sexuality. The name of his booty-buddy in New York, who's ass he's plowed, and who's plowed his ass.
And where's my avatar…???
He is a fucking jackoff
well, he has every right to do that. if i was in the public eye like that i wouldn't want all of the journalists asking me question about my personal life, just my professional life as a actor/singer/whatever i may be. journalists are the one that are douches because they can twist the truth around and make something controversial from something that justin said. and like someone else here said, angelina jolie does the same thing, and do you call her a douche? nooooo. that would be just uncalled for. you're so biased towards your favourites perez, it's not even funny.
I really don like him, his ego is to big, and hes very girly.
