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.

Finally someone who is doing the right thing!! Setting paparazzi in their right place. You go Justin that's the thing to do! (hint hint)
i dont find this weird or abnormal at all.
i think it makes perect sense what he is doing. everyone deserves to have privacy.. even celebrities.. they're people too you know.
HELL YEA! MORE POWER TO HIM! HE'S AT WORK!!! SCREW THE TABLOIDS AND GOSSIP STORMS!
entertainment reporters are not journalists, sorry. you need no skills or credentials to harass famous people and if they don't like the terms the celebs set then they can take a hike. or get a real career as a real journalist and cover worthwhile stories, not entertainment bullshite.
ANYONE WITH A BRAIN CAN SEE HE IS GAY, THE WAY HE TALKS THE WAY HE SINGS THE WAY HE ACTS, KEEP IT REAL JUSTIN WE KNOW YOU LOVE THAT DICK.
It's about time he did this before these mother fucking so called journalists ruin him.
He was born a douche.
Perez, you are no journalist. You are a Hedda Hopper. Just because he is a performer doesn't mean that gossip columnists can take such horrible advantage of these celebs. Good for him for putting the business back in his business.
Sorry Perez, don't agree with you on this one. Some of the so-called "journalism" going on these days is more invasive, in your face, rude, and sensational than anything that's gone before. Good on him for making sure it says on topic. I'm sure he's sick to death with probing questions about his personal life already.
All this for a very bad and unwatchable movie, that should be called "Austin Powers-Love Guru".
What a douchebag Timberlake is. One can only wonder what kind of a brown-nosing suckup "journalist" would sign this agreement. Guessing either ET or Access will sign it so they can say they have the only Timberlake "exclusive".
he's doing that because he's smart. with the hate-filled and malicious bloggers and entertainment writers out there, you have to protect yourself. These low-lifes take pleasure in destroying careers. I wish they'd all jump off a cliff already.
Justin is a fuckin' douche. And he needs to stop sucking Timbaland's dick. Without Timbaland, Justin is a nobody. He needs to get over himself… ASS!
I would say he's a douche….but he thinks he is to cool for school. He needs to get over him self. Everyone else is…
Call Timberlake a douche wouldn't have anything to do with you being a shitty paparazzo yourself. Don't EVER try to call yourself anything remotely like a journalist you maniacal egotist!
You're a douche! Justin's a living legend
Perez or Justin: Definitely Justin… You just lost a reader
Re: fairytalesofyesterday –
THANK YOU! you have no idea how i pray for this to happen I so want an NSYNC Reunion.
Oh well we'll just have to settle for NKOTB, HA! nah i love NK more anyway!!
You plagiarist scumbag, you steal every story you post and don't even credit the source of the info. and take the credit for the story, so unprofessional
he's cute but needs a lesson in humbleness. 25 years from now will any of us REALLY remember him-i dont think so. he'll be a passing song on the oldies station. nothing wrong with, but come he needs to realizes he's a human just like all of us and no better than me or you:)
Please this little boy bander should be glad he's still famous. If he wasn't white no one would buy his records. It's annoying how he tries to talk and act black. He's too insecure to be himself.
Boy bander with no talent. Timberland makes him sound halfway decent in the studio. He has no soul.
Justin's such an asshole. He's meaner than Perez.
such annoying ad from swing town… even you stop it keep coming up!!! sucks!
Artists need to protect themselves, period!
GET OVER IT fag. Thats the way business should be run.
You're a fucking whiny trashbag.
YEAH - GO JUSTIN. IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT SOMEBODY CHALLENGED THE "OPPORTUNISTS" WHO ARE STALKING THE COAT-TAILS OF THE FAMOUS FOR A PIECE OF THEIR DOLLAR VALUE.
:)-
he's awesome for doing that.
his personal life is HIS personal life. Excuse him for not wanting the whole damn world knowing his business.
he's not a douche, he's just smart unlike pretty much all other celebs like britney, lily allen, etcc
perez, i love u and i think youre as awesome as it gets.
BUT i just dont understand why u hate justin timberlake so much, hes a great guy, hes talented, and hes never done anything to you.
geez.
#98 - agreed says – …I mean, being a celeb in America comes with certain things. People wanting to know about you in one of them.
:)-
YOU_BUTT_SAYS…YOU HAVE TO BE THE STUPIDIST LEMMING I HAVE EVER SEEN. JUST BECAUSE A PERSON CHOOSES ACTING AS A PROFESSION, DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEIR PERSONAL BUSINESS OR THEIR FAMILY, IS ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS. I CAN SMELL THE STINK OF YOUR ARROGANCE ALL THE WAY OVER HERE.
:)-
This clown is boring as hell. Why waste any time covering his bland meanderings.
Justin Timberlake looks like he has really bad B.O. and stinky farts, the dude is just gross.
With the way paps are treating celebs these days i don't blame him one bit for taking precautions and as for the name calling perez what the hells that about? You know what pricks they can be…
If I had his power I'd disrespect them too. They do enough disrespecting to other people. Perez is just mad because he considers himself a journalist. (Even though he got fired from said job)
BTW if the "Press" wouldn't make up shit and lie, this would never be needed.
Re: ererer said ANYONE WITH A BRAIN CAN SEE HE IS GAY, THE WAY HE TALKS THE WAY HE SINGS THE WAY HE ACTS, KEEP IT REAL JUSTIN WE KNOW YOU LOVE THAT DICK. –
So you say your girlfriend has a crush on him?
I think celebs that act all freaky with interviewers/photographers ect. should get what they deserve- absolutely NO attention or press. Then they can cry in their double wide trailer in Bumfuck Egypt Mississippi.
this guy is such a try hard. he needs to grow a fucking brain, he has no talent.
That guy has been a douche; you just realized it now Perez? US magazine had a spread on it like last year! I hate that wimpy little dork. Yuck.
I LOVE HIM!!!!! HES WRITE THE MEDIA MAKES UP SO MUCH BS ITS UNREAL !!! HS'S AVOIDNG THE DRAM AND THE BS GOOD FOR YOU JUSTIN NOT ONLY ARE YOU HOT BUT SMART TOOOO
this is the kinda thing handlers do to prevent the person in question from saying something stupid.. or maybe he just has a LOT of shit to hide
"Entertainment reporters" are hardly journalists
perhaps you have lost all touch with reality, but what is being requested in the of journalists seems very reasonable. all 'artists' should require this level of professionalism from their interviewers. i'm actually surprised that most 'artists' DON'T request this.
they should.
big deal… he is protecting himself from vicious reporters who will publish fabricated lies.
way to be smart, jt!
Justin thinks he's all that. He acts like a stuck up kid to me.
Everytime I see this man - it irks me for some reason. Everything he says - everything he does. And bring Sexy back - PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeee
so what??? ALOT of celebrities do the same thing.. he must be on your list of celebs you don't like.. maybe because your jealous because he' has many talents while you only know how to make fun of people and put other people down! And maybe if more celebrities didn't discuss their personal life with the media they would actually have relationships that last longer then two days! leave jt alone you fat & ugly bastard!
He's acting like the big s..t that he isn't. I think that the media and fotographers shouldn't cover him or this new movie.. who the f..ck does he think he is?… A..hole!!!!
I agree. Justin sucks major ass. Thank God Usher's back doing it the right way.
Perez…you're the douche, you fat fag. You don't like anyone who doesn't smoke cock like you….
an very interesting choice of word Perez. He is a "douche" because he doesn't wish to discuss his personal life while promoting his film? The tabloids have gotten so out of hand these days. These "journalists" ask questions and twist words around to say what they really want to say instead of the truth. Justin has made a good name for himself in the business and has accomplished a lot. A lot more then you ever will. You are just pissed because now you can't get any dirt on him. So instead, you call him a douche. I'm sure you would be ok if we all grilled you on your personal life everytime you were in the public, eh? While Justin has worked his ass off to entertain the world, your job is to consistently put people down on your website. That, Perez, makes YOU a douche. Just because you're openly gay and have mean nicknames for celebrities. that doesn't make you any better then those "journalists" themself. Get a real job bud. THEN you can start callin people douches.
I say let the reporters give him his privacy… privacy leading to his extinction from the media altogether.
Leave Justin alone! It's probably stressful and difficult for him to keep his homosexuality under wraps, so he's just being cautious.
he just wants his privacy. not every celebrity wants there life on blast. get a grip. he is so hot.
Just because someone is an entertainment reporter does not in any way, shape or form mean that they are not journalists. You need a lot of skill and credentials to do reporting of any kind. I happen to have very good friends who work for 'Celebrity Gossip' magazines and they have graduated with Honors from top notch institutions and have also worked at many other different kinda of publlications prior to working at a Gossip magazine.
I think the problem that a lot of people are having with Justin Timberlake is that this is getting to be a habitual thing with him. Being an asshole to reporters, photographers, and fans alike. People are interested in you because they adore you I really don't see the wrong or bad in that. If the attention really bothers you that much then go sing on Broadway and stay out of the spotlight. You don't have to be in Hollywood movies to act and you don't have to tour all over the county to sing. Take it down a notch and people will stop caring about who you're dating.
we had the pleasure of Justin Timberlake making a movie in our hometown of Independence La. a few months back and he was the most rudest actor to have met. He refused to sign any autographs he would not let anyone take a picture of him needless to say did he forget we are the ones that make him his money I personaly and alot of our hometown people REFUSE to see his money. He is very obnoxious and one of the most arrogant people I have seen
douche.
unless you want it off the record ANYTHING CAN BE PUBLIC.
Good for him, I think it's a great idea.
youre all a bunch of fuckin haters goddd get over itt. if he couldnt sing he wouldnt be one of the hottess artists out there. if the dude wants people to sign shit then so be it thats the life of sumone rich && famous. motherfuckers get your eyes checked perez is REAL duchebagg!!
fuck the press, the only thing they should be worried about is the movie not his personal life all stars should do this, good move on his part
I feel like his contract is ok. Sure, it's his JOB to entertain us, but it's not our RIGHT to know everything about him. He should get to be a person too.
I think he's right you disgusting media. Who the hell do you think you are perezhilton. The media is the reason for all problems in the world. Finally a celebrity is taking charge and trying to destroy you.
I think his agreement is right on considering the liberties that the press has been taking over the last few years…and the way that a lot of them handle themselves in a very immoral way. Good for Justin…and the only reason he's getting bad 'press' is BECAUSE the press don't like that he's taking control of his own. More power to him!
i don't think timberlake is a douche. what's wrong with wanting to keep your personal life PERSONAL.
ABOUT TIME THEY PUT A MUZZLE ON THE THE PAPPRAZZI AND NEWS JOURNALISTS…THEY ARE A BUNCH OF SCUM BAGS..
Justin Timberlake has no talent. He can't sing or act, and he does dance a little but…it's all the attitude and the hype. So many artists have their voices enhanced and remixed, redubbed..nothing purely vocal for phonies like him. I saw a rerun of Oprah last night, and he did a duet with Reba from her new album. He was whispering and mumbling..she was giving pure vocals, his vocals were terrible! He's just like Britney, and Paula Abdul..etc..no voice, it's all in the studio. As for his acting ability…YAWN! As for sexy…what's up with that?
number 1 i think perez hilton is the douche he sits there and judges these people and prolly hasnt met half of them i mean have peeople looked at him hes ugly as shit and hes the one everyone should fucking say shit about. stop being so god damn annoying. they may be famous but there fucking human beings!
Oh I forgot to say…Tyra Banks has a big FAT ASS!
KISS MY HAIRY ASS JT
JT IS A 1 INCH WONDER
PEREZ YOURE A FUCKING GENIUS I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think its the smartest thing any celeb has done. Its one thing to be in the public eye, but its another to air business that we don't need to know about. Even though they have money up to their asses they still are people. I don't think I would want the world knowing my personal stuff. I mean seriously.. look what has happened to others..(brit to be exact)
i met justin when he was in *nsync, and he was a bit moody and not as friendly as the other guys.
i mean come on, i guess it gets annoying when girls are screaming in your face all day everyday.
plus he's been working since he was a kid. give the guy a break.
he knows he's the shit and super successful and should be entitled to release whated information he feels comfortable with.
i.love.justin.
So he's a douche for wanting to keep his private life PRIVATE? Isn't he a human, too, like the rest of us? There are now envious shitty haters typing shit without sense saying he's gay, and just trashing without reason, because they DON'T KNOW what feels being a celebrity. Also, the ones who are saying he has no talent… please… go get a fucking life, please, and stop bitching around, pricks. He's one of the artists/entertainers that does more things nowadays. Go and try to find a young man that is a singer-songwriter, a record producer, a dancer, an actor, a musician player of 3 or more instruments, that SINGS LIVE while dancing or playing instruments, that is one HECK of an entertainer, that is successful, that has written and produced for PLENTY of artists, legends included, and that has earned respect from both the general public and other artists (legends included, again). The ones who should get over yourselves are YOU and only YOU. Do you want to do what he does? Stop trashing and go and bust your ass, ok? His fame didn't come from a stupid Crapmerican Idol. He's a true artist.
Ok First. What Does First Mean?
Second.
I love him :]
WHAT EVER I DONT EVEN CARE HOW DUMB HE ACTS HES STILL HOTT HE CAN ACT DUMB TO ME AS MUCH AS HE WANTS AS LONG AS WHERE IN HIS BED
