latimesblogs.latimes.com2.25.09
According to People, that's the night "Saturday Night Live" alum Jimmy Fallon will have his pal Justin Timberlake as a guest on the first "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" show.
Fallon, who takes over from Conan O'Brien, costarred with Timberlake in the hysterical SNL skit "The Barry Gibb Talk Show."
Fallon has also booked Clap Your Hands Say Yeah for his March 4 show, and "Gossip Girl" hunk Chace Crawford for March 6. Don't forget to ask him about being stalked by Lindsay Lohan.
Fallon will also talk to Robert DeNiro on his show. "I thought it would be kind of good to have my first guy be probably one of the toughest people you could interview," Fallon said recently.
Good luck with that. Compared to DeNiro, Timberlake will be much easier.
Anyone else you'd love to see Jimmy Fallon have on his new show? C'mon. It never hurts to ask.

Rihanna and Justin Timberlake have been signed up by Bollywood composer Aadesh Shrivastava to contribute in an anti-terrorism album following Mumbai attack in November 2008. Beside the two R&B singers, Indian violinist Kala Ramanathan has also been recruited by the composer.
"I've already invited these singers and they will participate," Aadesh said. "I've recorded with that extraordinarily-talented violinist Kala Ramanathan and with Ustad Rashid Khan. Justin and Rihanna have also given their nod."
"Mumbai has witnessed the worst ever massacre and I'm not interested in token gestures," Aadesh revealed further. "That's why I didn't attend the peace rally at the Gateway Of India. All those thousands hopeful Mumbaikars who attended were in danger. Hardly any security was provided to them. What if there was an attack at the rally?"

Justin Timberlake’s mother worries about his toilet habits. Lynn confessed she was more concerned about the inadequate bathroom facilities than his fashion show. She said: "I don't know what Justin is going to do if he has to go to the bathroom. Those porta-potties are not cool!" Meanwhile, Justin brought chaos to a video shoot when he lost his dogs. The 28-year-old star – who is dating actress Jessica Biel - brought his three pooches along as he filmed the promotional clip for rapper T.I.’s song ‘Dead and Gone’. However, the singer soon regretted his decision when the dogs escaped from his dressing room. A source said: “The dogs ran off and the crew had to catch them. “T.I. joked that Justin should have brought a fine woman along instead.”

timesofindia.indiatimes.com2.20.09
Justin Timberlake was said to have been fixated with his girlfriend Jessica Biel backstage after a recent show, despite being surrounded by a brood of glamorous models.
The singer, who presented the major fashion William Rast show at the Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge, was reportedly a one-woman man maintaining his distance from the other stunning members of the opposite sex.
"There were all these models like Erin Wasson, Coco Rocha and May Andersen vying for his attention," the New York Daily News quoted an eyewitness as saying.
"But Justin only had eyes for Jessica," the witness added.
The couple were later spotted picking up matching pairs of Havaianas flip-flops on their way to the show's after-party at Rose Bar.
An eyewitness added: "They were all over each other and PDA-ing like crazy!"

DSO Announces 2009-2010 Schedule, Which Includes At Least One Surprise...
blogs.dallasobserver.com2.19.09
Since we already mentioned the Dallas Symphony Orchestra this morning (albeit tangentially), I'd say that this is as appropriate a time as any to spread word of the DSO's 2009-2010 pops lineup, which was announced earlier this week.
Launching in August, the schedule kicks off with Motown's The Contours and is then followed by performances from Johnny Mathis, LeAnn Rimes, Michael Bolton, Joey Fatone & Kristi Yamaguchi (?), Wynton Marsalis and, finally, in May of 2010 (a long way off, I know), Elvis Costello.

Lance Bass’s Dogs Offer Support
www.dogchannel.com2.18.09
Lance Bass doesn’t need Dr. Phil or Oprah Winfrey when he’s suffering heartache. All the former *NSync singer needs are his dogs, Dingo and Foster.
“They’re my buddies when I go through breakups,” Bass tells People.
The star, who adopted the Australian Shepherd-Beagle mixes from a shelter five years ago, says Foster is the big troublemaker.
“Foster likes to play with skunks,” Bass laughs. “Then he comes in my bed and it’s like, ‘Whoa!’”
Bass is currently on tour with fellow “Dancing with the Stars” finalists. Bass and professional dancing partner Lacey Schwimmer finished third on the show.
“I’ve been choreographed before, but I think in a way it hurt me,” Bass says. “We had hip-hop training [in *NSync], and it was the opposite of what I had to learn for ballroom. With hip-hop it’s very loose, very freestyle, very low. With ballroom it’s all about your lines, your posture, it’s something I really had to work on.”
