UPDATE: Oops! Now there are over 40, lol.
Justin counted the number of paps waiting for him outside his apartment this afternoon as he headed to the William
As a guy, Justin should know he’s done some pretty cool things things when after being interviewed by Ask Men. They typically only care about girls: staring at girls, rating girls, how to get girls, how to make girls stay….They have interesting articles, though. Justin’s interview is below:
He’s not just blessed with being a handsome, musical mastermind. Justin Timberlake is the kind of rare guy men enjoy glugging beers with, women dream of introducing to their grandmother and professionals clamor to work beside.
One of the latest collaborations the star has made is with French brand, Givenchy, to come up with Play, a fresh fragrance with a nuance of that hip and smooth Timberlake attitude. Venturing into perfumes is a likely progression for someone who has already dabbled in film, TV and fashion.
Despite the time difference, his endless list of appointments and the searing temperature in Dubai, the “SexyBack” singer took time out with AskMen’s Tarek Hijazi for what seemed like a chat with an old friend. Laid-back, genuine, insightful, and to our — and a lot of people’s — surprise, 6-foot-1 Timberlake elaborates about the connection he feels with the modern scent, why he admires doctors so much and how jet lag and fame come hand-in-hand.
AskMen.com : Tell us about your experience with Givenchy?Justin Timberlake : When we first started on this partnership, it wasn’t for the women’s fragrance, it was for the men’s fragrance, obviously, and that’s been out for a while. I think it was just sort of a natural progression for them to move to the women’s fragrance as well. I had a little more of creative input on the men’s fragrance than I did on the women’s. I told them I did not want to have anything to do with the women’s fragrance because I didn’t even know what to do (laughs).
I’ve added over 340 photos of Justin in Malibu filming FWB yesterday. These include scenes with co-stars, relaxing on set, and frolicking on the beach. View them below:
Facebook loves Hollywood ad dollars, except in the case of one particular film. That would be “The Social Network,” the upcoming film best known as “The Facebook Movie.”
As Kara Swisher pointed out in July,Facebook isn’t accepting ads from Sony (SNE), the movie’s distributor. The reason, in so many words: Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg don’t like the movie.
Fair enough: Sony has figured out plenty of ways to get buzz for the movie online, via both paid routes (“Promoted Twitter” ads) and unpaid gambits (viral videos, of course).
And now, in a lovely bit of irony, the “The Social Network” is being advertised on Facebook, after all. For free. By Facebook’s users.
As Forbes’s Dorothy Pomerantz explains, Sony is asking Facebook users to “like” the movie, and they’re complying: So far, some 29,000 Facebookers have endorsed the movie via a button click, which translates into some 29,000 individual “thumbs up” ads appearing in Facebook users’ streams.
Pretty clever, no?
I’m giving the movie a previewing thumbs-up, too, for what it’s worth–I’m really excited to see it. And not because I think it’s going define Generation Y or anything like that (beware of explicitly “generation-defining” movies, by the way–you’ll end up with “Reality Bites”). It’s because I think it’s going to be awesome: Aaron Sorkin is great with the words, and David Fincher makes great images.
It turns out the music now featured in the background of the official site of Justin’s upcoming The Social Network was penned and produced by Trent Reznor of NIN. The track is available to listen to below:
LA Times Blog wrote a short piece on Hollywood’s infatuation with LA’s Union Station, and tied in story tdf-bits from Justin’s upcoming FWB film. Read below:
It’s a sweeping romantic moment set against the grandeur of New York’s Grand Central Terminal, venue to countless poignant moments of tearful farewells.
A forlorn young woman, suitcase in hand, buys her train ticket from the kiosk when her lover appears from out of the shadows to present her with a bouquet of flowers. The couple embrace and leave together on a horse and buggy waiting outside the station. Cut.
The scene, from the Justin Timberlake romantic comedy “Friends With Benefits,” is supposed to unfold in New York’s renowned example of Beaux-Arts architecture. But the scene will in fact be filmed this week in downtown Los Angeles at Union Station, just the latest in a long line of movies, TV shows and commercials that have showcased the Mission-and-Modern-style station.
“It’s an homage to all the great films that have shot at Union Station,’’ said Glenn Gainor, head of physical production at Sony Pictures Entertainment film unit Screen Gems, which is producing the movie, a bicoastal production shot in both New York and L.A.
The movie started filming in L.A. earlier this month and highlights many of the City of Angels’ landmarks, including the Hollywood sign, the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre – and Union Station.

Quentin Tarantino + Justin Timberlake = craziness. Who’d have ever thought in a million years? Showbiz Spy reports:
DIRECTOR Quentin Tarantino wants Justin Timberlake to star in one of his movies!
Insiders say the Pulp Fiction filmmaker is considering the SexyBack hitmaker for a new violent epic based around a trainee hitman.
“It’s a kind of dark comedy, very much in the Tarrantino style,” reports a Hollywood mole.
“Justin is a new raw talent when it comes to acting but Quentin feels he could be ideal for the lead role. He’s excited about taking a teen heartthrob and turning him into a cold-blooded killer.”
Timberlake recently admitted he’s “insecure” about his talent.
“I think I’m equally insecure about both of them,” he said. “I’ve been doing this for two thirds of my life and I still consider myself pretty young but I think that’s the part you battle with all the time.
“When you’re creating your art, that’s the best part. Your senses are on a creative high and then the part where everyone gets to see it and comment on it, that’s the part I think you battle with until you die.
Manila Bulletin Corporation is reporting how the money for Justin’s recent charity concert in the Philippines has been used – to help a fallen art school.
With help from Justin Timberlake and his friends, the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) recently completed a major overhaul of the Angono Regional Pilot School for the Arts (ARPSA) music room in Angono, Rizal.
The P1-million project was made possible by the recent “Changing Lives” benefit concert organized by concert producer Francis Lumen, Smart Infinity and PSF featuring international artists Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Jojo.
The newly-renovated and refurbished music room was repainted, rebuilt with a stage for performances, and given new recording equipment and an air-conditioning system with the help of the Philippine Constructors Association and Architect Carla Suiza.
The PSF also donated instruments including violins, a cello, a double bass, an electronic piano, and a complete sound system.
“The music room fulfilled our promise to Justin Timberlake that we help budding musicians and artists affected by Ondoy and Pepeng. We want ARPSA to be a center for the arts,” said PSF president Butch Meily.
“Timberlake wanted to help kids with their music programs and musical instruments since music is close to his heart. Smart Customer Care identified the beneficiary,” added Meily.
A pioneering arts school, ARPSA is government-run high school dedicated to developing students through a curriculum that emphasizes performing, musical and visual arts.
Last year, the school was devastated by super typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng, which damaged parts of buildings, destroyed books and instruments, and even caused the death of one student in a landslide.
The music room’s unveiling, hosted by ARPSA principal Amihan Reynes-Fenis, featured performances by ARPSA’s dance troupe, chorale, and orchestra.
