Woody Harrelson as Timberlake's gay best friend?  Classic.

Mother's Day Love...Literally

Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg remind us what Mother's day is all about:  loving your mother.  Or, in their case, loving their best friend's mother.

2011 Box Office Promises "The Summer Of Timberlake"

Over the last decade, Justin Timberlake has proved himself to be an accomplished singer and record producer.  In 2006, he made his big screen debut in Nick Cassavetes' 'Alpha Dog'.  He received critical acclaim for his role as Frankie "Nuts" Ballenbacher, who is involved with the kidnapping and subsequent murder of another character in the film.  The film is based on the true story of the kidnapping and murder of 15 year old Nicholas Markowitz in 2000.

Though not releasing an album since 2006's 'Future Sex/Love Sounds', he has made quite a name for himself as a frequent host and regular surprise guest on 'Saturday Night Live'.  The following videos are funnier than shit, but NSFW.  Seriously, unless you want your coworkers to hear you jamming out to the uncensored version of 'Dick In A Box', you may want to wait until you get home to watch them.



Timberlake has four movies scheduled to be released this year, two of them this summer.  The first one on the calendar is a comedy with former girlfriend Cameron Diaz, called 'Bad Teacher'.  Diaz plays the embodiment of the "couldn't care less/don't give a damn" teacher.  Timberlake comes into the school as the substitute teacher that isn't doing the job for the money, but to truly make a difference.  It's going to be interesting to see what kind of chemistry the two have with each other on film, considering the two carried on a romantic relationship for three and a half years.  The two trailers in this post are red band trailers.  They are NSFW due to adult language.



'Bad Teacher' comes out on June 24th.

On July 22nd, he stars in a comedy with 'Black Swan's' Mila Kunis in 'Friends With Benefits'.  It's about two friends that decide that they can enter into a sexual relationship without it ruining their friendship.  Wow.  OK. That sounds familiar.  Didn't that just come out a month ago?  It had Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman in it, and it was called 'No Strings Attached'.  Isn't it strange that Mila and Natalie both had starring roles in 'Black Swan' together, and then the following movie for both of them is a "fuck buddy" flick?  I haven't seen 'No Strings Attached', but based on the trailer, 'Friends With Benefits' looks much funnier.  Again, this is a red band trailer.  It's NSFW.



Later this year, Timberlake has a Sci Fi/thriller coming out in October called 'Now'.  The plot seems a little strange.  It's set in the future where people buy things with time instead of currency.  It stars 'Inception's' Cillian Murphy.

Then, in late 2011/early 2012, 'Lay the Favorite' should be released, starring Timberlake, Bruce Willis, and Catherine Zeta Jones.  It's about a thirty something woman that gets involved with a group of geeky fifty something men that figure out a way to rip off a Las Vegas casino sportsbook.

I'm assuming, more screen time in the theaters will equate to more screen time on 'Saturday Night Live'.  There have also been rumors swirling on the net in recent months that JT has been secretly recording new material for an album that could possibly be released by year's end.  In other words, hope you like Justin Timberlake, because whether you do or not, you're going to be seeing a lot more of him in the upcoming months.

History Of Rap - Must See

This video will likely be pulled off the net by NBC Universal tonight, so watch it while you can.  Last night on the Late Show With Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy and Justin Timberlake got together to do the history of rap.  It was amazing.  They went from the Sugarhill Gang, to the Beastie Boys, to Snoop and then to Jay Z....all in three minutes.

Update:  NBC posted the video on Jimmy Fallon's page.

Haiti And A Personal " Hallelujah"

I didn't get a chance to see the telethon for Haiti last night. We went out to dinner and didn't get home until after it was over. This evening, I caught a video of Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris' performance of 'Hallelujah' from the program. It made me cry.

I must admit, for as long as I can remember, 'Hallelujah' has been one of my favorite songs. It is, in my opinion, an example of the perfect song. Leonard Cohen put lyric to melody as if he were divinely inspired. It can easily fit into a number of scenarios: love, betrayal, loss and hope.

Hallelujah roughly translates to "thank" or "praise God" in Hebrew. When seeing this performance, it made me make a quick list of all of the thing that I held dear that I could go to sleep tonight and say a personal "Hallelujah" for. Although, I don't believe in God in the traditional sense, per se, I am still mindful of what I have and what I could have easily lost.

With that in mind, make a donation to helpforhaitinow.org, or make a $10 donation to the American Red Cross by texting the word Haiti to 90999. A charge for $10 will appear on your phone bill next month. Conditions are getting desperate. Anything you can do will help.
