Justin Timberlake

By Chris Molanphy Jay Sean feat. Lil Wayne, “Down” (2009) Timberlake scored three Hot 100 chart-toppers from his second solo album, but only this one failed to get appreciable urban-radio airplay; both “SexyBack” and “My Love” were big R&B/Hip-Hop chart hits.)

By Maura Two years ago, the Dutch singer Esmée Denters was a YouTube phenomenon who got snapped up by Justin Timberlake’s label, thanks presumably to her covering “What Goes Around… Comes Around” in full-on Webcam confessional mode. Well, since then Timberlake’s been taking her around, puttin...

By Maura Earlier this week, a demo version of a Timbaland/Timberlake-helmed song performed by 2006 X Factor winner Leona Lewis called “Don’t Let Me Down” leaked. An investigation into who put the track, which is supposed to be Lewis’ “comeback” single, out there has been launched by the Internat...

By Maura The denouement Jackson’s career has experienced since this happened may be one of the saddest things in pop music over the last decade–just listen to the songs that lead up to Justin taking over the stage! “All For You” was a frothy bit of Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis-helmed pop, and “Rhythm Nati...

By Maura Johnston 6. Bruce at the Super Bowl, crotch-shot and all. I think we've all written enough about this to realize why. 7. Neither of these guys being on the second Hollywood Week episode of American Idol: Unfortunately, that was about the only part of said episode that was any good at all.

By Maura Johnston Just crossing the transom this morning: Big Mike and DJ Neptune's new mixtape R & B Kings 2009, which apparently came out last week and bubbled its way to various pop-leak blogs today. It has new tracks by—count 'em—Chris Brown and Rihanna and Justin Timberlake and Usher. (Also 50 Cent,...

By Maura Johnston Last time out, Rihanna was taking her video inspirations from Trent Reznor, and this time, she's going down the modern-rock playlist and plumbing ideas from... The Killers? Maybe not, but I definitely feel like Brandon Flowers is going to pop up at any moment in the video for "Rehab," which m...

By Maura Johnston ONE-LISTEN VERDICT: It's hard to begrudge Justin Timberlake's efforts to sell "Follow My Lead," since the proceeds from the track do, after all, go to a pretty worthy cause. But really, the credits should be flipped: The dominant presence on the song isn't Timberlake but his YouTube-gro...

By Maura Johnston Justin Timberlake announced that he was retiring his 2006 "SexyBack" at a charity concert in Las Vegas on Friday night. However, Timberlake's announcement—which took place at a concert benefiting Shriners Hospitals For Children—probably will not result in the annoying catchphrase...

By Maura Johnston It's been almost two years since Justin Timberlake donned a pair of Color Me Badd pants and sang about giving his ladyfriend a Very Special Christmas Box, which I guess means that enough time has passed for "Dick In A Box" to become source material for a song about Very Important Things. Abov...

By Maura Johnston First came the rumors that Beyonce's forthcoming album was late in arriving at her label's offices, thanks to her many acting commitments and a lot of potholes while recording her duet with Justin Timberlake. Now, people are buzzing that the first two singles from the record, which were s...

By Anono-Critic Incidentally, Thicke’s claim is more or less indisputable. While music magazines aimed at white readers, like Rolling Stone, Spin, and Blender, must put African-Americans on their respective covers from time to time in order to defuse any charges of de facto racism, Vibe probably woul...

By Anthony Miccio Deepak Chopra's claims aside, Mike Myers' upcoming The Love Guru looks like a disgusting, unfunny attempt to josh on the Maharishi, which might have at least made sense if the film was made 40 years ago or if this racist caricature was originally meant as a whimsical side note in a fourth Au...

By Maura Johnston So at Friday night's Jingle Ball, the most interminable set belonged to Timbaland, who spent most of his allotted time--I'm not sure of the exact minute count, but it seemed way longer than it was regardless--namedropping Justin Timberlake, hoisting around his son, and spinning that S...

By mjohnston 9:02 p.m. Long shots, MTV. 9:02 p.m. 50 Cent: "I didn't go on first for this?" 9:24 p.m. Justin Timberlake just asked MTV to play more videos. Because he is rolling. 9:56 p.m. Now Timbaland has run down from "his suite" to accept Justin Timberlake's award. 10:33 p.m. Hey, everybody--remember Nelly?

By Jess Harvell Yes, sadly the LoveShow was just NotThatExciting, a neon-lit arena show headlined by possibly the biggest male pop singer on the planet at the moment, a manboy who hasn't quite figured out how to command that stage without resorting occasionally to cheesy Mickey Mouse Club tricks, and a...

By Kate Richardson In true YouTube fashion, this is a response to the Michael Palin video, and much like Palin and Idle themselves, the latter is a tad less cute than the former. Obviously all the conceptual compliments still apply here, but this video just isn't quite as snappy; the clips are at times a bit too...

Matthew Goldenb...

By jharv A totally not stoned Timbaland recently revealed a few details to MTV about 10 songs from the "hot" forthcoming Madonna album that he's been working on with Justin Timberlake in London, and if you can parse what he's saying then you get a free iced latte on me:"Ah, man," Tim gushed. "There's...

By mjohnston Did 50 Cent's Matrix-gone-softcore video for "Ayo Technology (She Wants It)" make you feel slightly groggy, maybe even resulting in you nodding off in a pool of your own drool at your desk? Well, according to one of the ladies paid to dance for 50, Timbaland, and Justin Timberlake during t...

By mjohnston If you were ever wondering whether or not 50 Cent actually had the libido of a 14-year-old boy, wonder no further: The first sequence in his clip for "Ayo Technology," 50's Timbalake-aided attempt to drum up buzz for Curtis, features a scene where he's equipped with just enough X-ray visi...

By mmatos The nominees for the 59th Annual Emmy Awards were announced today, and while my Ugly Betty fandom makes me happiest of all, this isn't really the place for it. There are, however, two nominees I think it's safe to say the entire Idolator clubhouse will be rooting for: Outstanding Original M...

By mmatos 8. Justin Timberlake, "Summer Love" (Jive) Brittany: It's Justin Timberlake! Michael: Uh-uh. "Cry Me a River," dude. Brittany: I'll stand by "Dick in a Box." I prefer "Cry Me a River" and "Senorita" as songs. They're running out of songs on this album, though.

By mjohnston Yes, because Jessica Biel is apparently not hot enough for Justin. But wait, it gets better: Justin and 50 - real name Curtis Jackson - will reportedly film the video for the song this weekend with Los Angeles director Joseph Khan. It will see the pair star as sex-obsessed Matrix style secret...

By Brian Raftery We somehow "forgot" to read Page Six this morning, but thankfully Goldenfiddle alerted us to this family-friendly item: January 24, 2007 — IT looks like it's over between Derek Jeter and Jessica Biel. Last weekend, Biel flirted with Justin Timberlake while Jeter was at Atlantis in the Ba...

By mjohnston What happened: Co-written by Chasez's ex-boybandmate Justin Timberlake, "Until Yesterday" made crowds at Timberlake's club shows earlier this fall go absolutely crazy. We first heard—and went bananas for—the song a few weeks later; in October, it was released as a digital single, an...
