Is Lance Bass Sweatin' It With a Personal Trainer?

www.eonline.com

Three's not a crowd for Lance Bass.

The former boy-band crooner was hanging out with one of his exes, hairstylist Ben Thigpen, on Friday night at New York City hot spot Tenjune.

And there was someone else with them.

A source reports that Bass' new beau was also there.

There aren't a lot of details about the latest guy, but a source says his name is Sebastian, and he's believed to be a personal trainer.

The three boys stayed put in the club's VIP area and "closed the place down," the source said.

Another source said this new guy has been in the picture for some time now, but he and Bass have kept things "casual."

Lance's rep could not be immediately reached for comment.

TIMBERLAKE SUFFERING FROM OCD

www.contactmusic.com
Pop star JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - and the anxiety-based condition is taking over his life.

The SexyBack singer claims that he is overly-obsessed with neatness and often spends hours making sure objects are lined up perfectly, but the stress that comes with the disorder is often debilitating.

Other stars including David Beckham, Jessica Alba and Cameron Diaz have all confessed to suffering from forms of OCD - which is characterised by obsessive thoughts, compulsions or rituals. And Timberlake insists that he also a victim of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), a condition which often begins in childhood, with sufferers experiencing forgetfulness, distractibility and hyperactivity.

The singer claims he has managed to get his condition under control, but it still creates everyday challenges for him.

He says, "I have OCD mixed with ADD. You try living with that. It's complicated."

Why Did ‘Love Guru’ Bomb? And Is It Justin Timberlake’s Fault?

moviesblog.mtv.com

The last time Mike Myers starred in a comic film creation all his own, the entirely forgettable “Austin Powers in Goldmember,” the flick opened to a stellar $73 million weekend at the box office. That was six years ago and as we just learned over the weekend, a lot can change in that kind of time.

“The Love Guru” opened on Friday to the kind of reviews usually reserved for movies starring Larry the Cable Guy, not to mention an embarrassing 4th-place finish. Perhaps no one sunk the knife deeper than A.O. Scott in “The New York Times” who called it, “an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again.” Wonder if Myers turned and mugged for the camera after he read that one.

So this begs a few questions, the key one being…what the hell happened? Did Mike Myers suddenly become unfunny? Did our collective taste change? Is his new comic creation a little too familar (I’m going with this one)? Or is Justin Timberlake to blame?

Laugh all you want but the Timberlake curse seems to have some power to it? Eagerly awaited follow-up from the maker of “Donnie Darko”? That would be “Southland Tales,” the film that spurred a Cannes audience to boo and boo and boo some more. The follow-up to the universally hailed “Hustle & Flow”? That’d be “Black Snake Moan,” the project that tied Christina Ricci to a radiator. And now this!

SexyBack singer misses bachelor life

www.stuff.co.nz

Justin Timberlake has struggled to adjust his bachelor lifestyle since girlfriend Jessica Biel moved in.

The stunning actress recently began living in Justin's Los Angeles home and the couple are said to have argued over fridge space.

A source said: "Justin has been a bachelor for a long time. They are both used to doing things their way and having specific things in the fridge."

However, the smitten pair have come up with a compromise to avoid any more arguments.

The source added to America's OK! magazine: "They've had to re-adjust where the beer, water and peanut butter go to make room for each other's favourite foods."

Despite the couple living together, Justin's close friend Trace Ayala recently claimed the 'SexyBack' singer will never get married.

When asked if Justin was thinking of marrying Jessica, Ayala said: "I hope so. To be honest, I don't see wedding bells in the future, but I hope so. I really do."

Earlier this month, it was claimed Justin had been shopping for a wedding ring and was planning to pop the question to the 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry' actress.

'America's Best Dance Crew 2': Step up for the season premiere

latimesblogs.latimes.com
02:31 PM PT, Jun 17 2008

The chants for Kaba Modern, Status Quo and JabbaWockeeZ are fading ... but new ones fill the set, hung high with Season 2 crew banners.

"We love you, Fanny Pak!"

"Su-pa Crew! Su-pa Crew!"

"A.C. Slater!" (Wait, who?)

The same ol' "Saved by the Bell" jabs at host Mario Lopez notwithstanding, the new season of "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew" is scheduled to air on MTV at 10 p.m. Thursday, but we got a first look by attending the taping Monday night in Burbank.

The banners (logos based on crew identities -- mirrored sunglasses for Xtreme Dance Force, a "P" for Phresh Select's Philly phellas -- designated by show co-creator Karen Schwartz) have been raised, crews are stretching out and adjusting their costumes in the Crew Garage spaces backstage.

It's late now, around 10 p.m., and the group hugs have been doled out, favorites chosen and the first elimination made. (The unlucky ones are crying. We almost don't want to ask them for their post-game reaction. They look so sad to be going home.)

Lil Mama, Shane Sparks and JC Chasez are a little tougher with their criticisms this year, intolerant of stiffness, braggarts and swag. The top four or five crews are fierce with tricks and pop culture witticisms this season, while the bottom ones are like sacrificial lambs, kicking and bleating out bland routines all the way to elimination.

(No, we won't tell you yet who was cut last night. But we will tell you that we think one of Shane Sparks' reactions may end up on the broadcasting *beep* block. All the judges are loving the slo-mo playbacks this season. With one exception (hint: Lil Mama and Boogie Bots), they're picking great clips. This includes a hilarious one from Fanny Pak, chosen by Lil Mama. Watch for it!

One thing we agree with Lil Mama on is when she said Monday night: "It's starting to look like the bottom five should've been the top five."

Who was in the bottom? Well, isn't that part of the fun of finding out? You can draw your own conclusions based on judges' comments like Shane Sparks' on Sass x7: "People are looking at you right now like 'What are y'all doing here.' " Or JC Chasez on Distorted X: "I don't want to see nasty people get sexy on me. I want to see pretty people." Or Lil Mama when she mispronounced So Real Cru's Ailyn's name as "alien" and then compared them, again, to last season favorite Kaba Modern.

Ten crews came in, one went home.

Our surprise crew of the week was ASIID. Jevon thought they "came out hard," as Lil Mama would say, and may have won some fans (though he's not saying if they actually made it). Sheigh was impressed that ASSID picked Nicole Scherzinger's "Whatever You Like," because the Motor City crew turned out a segment so sizzling it made the Pussycat Dolls' recent "When I Grow Up" performances look dry and calculated. . Watch out Melody and Carmit, ASSID crew's "MeMe," "Dalla ... Licious" and Melissa are coming for you!

From the Boogie Bots' bounce-knee-slide-hop to Super Cr3w's superlative ninja maneuvers, most everyone performed well. One performance, as you shall see, had the whole audience on its feet, pointing and cheering, over a gravity-defying stunt.

During the breaks, battle chants broke out, and dancing in the seats was not only encouraged it was mandatory. Section dance-offs, led by an encouraging audience member, were as entertaining as many of the crew performances.

And they need to let up on Slater, I mean, Mario Lopez. Hosting in L.A. and being in a Broadway show (A Chorus Line) at the same time cannot be easy. Hope he has a miles card plan.

We'll have more from our time with the crews backstage in the Crew Garage, some post-game judging insights from Shane Sparks, Lil Mama and JC Chasez (in the ongoing YouTube battle between AC/DC and the M&M crew, who do you think Shane Sparks is betting on?), and a sweet goodbye from the eliminated crew.

Check back soon! The "America's Best Dance Crew 2" season premiere is 10 p.m. Thursday.

How do you find comfort after having broken up with a gay superstar boy-bander? You hook up with his superhot ex-boyfriend, of course! According to rumors, Lance Bass' two former boyfriends, hairdresser Ben Thigpen and Brazilian model Pedro Andrade, have hooked up.

After breaking up with Brazilian model Pedro Andrade last fall, Bass dated hairdresser Ben Thigpen. Last week, Thigpen and Andrade were acting very much like a couple, dancing and holding hands at the joint birthday party of Tenjune owners Mark Birnbaum and Eugene Remm, Page Six reports.

They were overheard laughing and saying "scandal" when asked if they were dating.

Kathy Griffin and Lance Bass have wardrobe malfunction at "A-list Awards"

june 9, 2008

Bravo will air their first ever "A-list Awards" this Thursday.

Again, another award that we weren't nominated for; and as usual I am bitter!

The awards ceremony seems to a funny one though. It is, after all, hosted by Kathy Griffin.

Griffin brought in one of her favorite gays to re-enact the infamous Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake "wardrobe malfunction."

Who better to fill-in for Justin than Lance Bass? It's hilarious.

By WENN, June 13 2008

Pop star JOEY FATONE is breathing a sigh of relief after learning a report he fathered a four-year-old lovechild is untrue.

The former 'N Sync singer was stunned when tabloid reports recently linked him to a fatherless young girl.

But the claim has since been disproved.

He says, "Someone said that I had a four-year-old daughter and it was in the tabloids.

"This wacky lady, basically, was just like, 'Yeah, this is your kid!'

"It was completely... not true. It was just odd, it was the weirdest thing."

Fatone has a seven-year-old daughter Briahna with wife Kelly Baldwin.

Joey Fatone Presides Over 'Celebrity Circus' On NBC

www.postchronicle.com
by Mitch Marconi

Especially the death-defying acts. So I was inclined to be at least somewhat entertained by Wednesday night's too-long premiere of NBC's "Celebrity Circus"

"Celebrity Circus" drew 6.3 million total viewers and averaged a 2.3 adults 18-49 rating from 9:30 to 11 p.m., according to Nielsen overnights. In the 10 p.m. hour, it finished 0.1 ahead of CBS timeslot competitor "CSI: NY," which was a rerun.

USA Today said the show follows a similar format to the "Circus of the Stars" specials that ran from 1977 to 1994.

Cocktails with Justin Timberlake

On par with JT Candice Reed

Cocktails with Justin Timberlake. Say it out loud and it is hard to believe.

If I didn’t have allergies, I don’t think I would have been invited to hang out with Justin Timberlake. This is the U.S. Open, and there I was on the golf course -- and in his suite.

That’s right. Because pollen makes me weak, the kid who brought “SexyBack” and I shared a beer and a Claritin.

A US Open highlight
His room at the Torrey Pines Inn overlooked the eighteenth hole (where drama would unfold at the last possible moment for Tiger Woods -- to clinch a Monday U.S. Open playoff that would lead to his victory). It was filled with family members, bodyguards, a few celebrities... and me.

The reason for sitting in Timberlake’s suite was not to get a scoop for a magazine or newspaper -- or even SheKnows. The cutie hosted me in his room because all the rumors are true: Justin Timberlake is a nice guy.

That’s right. Timberlake is a nice kid. There is his listening to his mom, Lynn Harliss, even when she’s making him blow his nose at the U.S. Open.

“Justin, honey, you come here and take these tissues,” Harliss said. Her southern accent in front of a room full of people is comforting. “I swear you’re gonna wipe that nose off your face if you don’t.”

How cute is that?

Watching the young mega-star interact with the over 20 guests at the U.S. Open was simply witnessing a charming, bright and respectful young man. No chairs were thrown and no starlets were accosted. Just some good friends, a few PG-rated jokes and a lot of golf talk. Heading to this U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, I could call myself a Justin Timberlake fan. Now, I feel like I am his number one fan.

It's Tiger time
A few days before Tiger Woods teed off at the U.S. Open and began another historic drive towards a U.S. Open Championship, the Torrey Pines course was populated with celebrities and one extraordinary everyman for the Golf Digest U.S. Open Challenge.

Woods had said a year prior that there was no way that an amateur with a ten handicap, could break a score of 100 on a course designed specifically for the U.S. Open. Omaha Nebraska’s John Atkinson, who won a Golf Digest essay contest and has inoperable lung cancer, sat in a foursome that included “Today Show” host Matt Lauer, Dallas Cowboys quarterback (and Jessica Simpson squeeze) Tony Romo -- and our favorite, Justin Timberlake.

A beautiful sight, Torrey Pines and Justin

What does any woman faced with that invitation do first? I bought a new outfit.

Anyway…I digress.

Arriving at the course with almost 200 journalists from across the globe, eyes immediately turn to JT.

A fashion mainstay?
Hacking away at the ball dressed in a black and orange golf shirt a jaunty trilby hat and black tuxedo pants held up with an orange belt, there he was merely feet away, Justin Timberlake.

Could you imagine Tiger dressed in that outfit? But Justin was, well, he was adorable.

Over the years, interviews have ranged from the coolest of cool, Bono and George Clooney, naming two who were personally intimidating. Justin was beyond approachable. In fact, after Timberlake hit his first shot, he dashed off to the men’s room and informed the gallery, “I knew I forgot something.”

After Atkinson hit his first shot, Justin high-fived the Omaha medical salesman as if they were old friends. They kind of were since Justin called the cancer patient a few days earlier to play nine-holes, just like a good friend without the camera glare behind them.

My allergy kin, the biggest pop star in the world
While achieving a ‘Tiger Woods doesn’t know what he’s talking about’ run on one of the world’s toughest golf courses (he scored a 98), Timberlake’s eyes mirrored mine, possessing the tell-tale signs of a fellow allergy sufferer, red, red and more red.

Justin, you’re not alone! The sniffing on the South course was loud enough to drown out the singing of the birds.

Enter this down to-earth woman applauding Justin Timberlake and his every shot. It was none other than his mom, Lynn Harliss. Mama Timberlake could not have been friendlier. Bonding over talk of sons, trading stories like two moms on the playground, this was different. The two of us were on the bluffs of Torrey Pines, and her son is Britney Spears’ ex-boyfriend. It was kind of surreal to be honest.

By the thirteenth hole, Justin was suffering so badly that I leaned over to Lynne and kiddingly asked if he needed an allergy pill.

“If you have one, I’ll be your new best friend,” she said in earnest.

I gave Justin’s mom my last Claritin.

By the eighteenth hole, site of unforeseen golf drama days later, this journalist’s own allergies kicked into high gear. I needed to file my story. Timberlake shot a 98, Romo, sans Jessica Simpson, shot an unbelievable 84, Lauer nailed Tiger’s 100 figure and the Omaha resident scored, 114, quite respectable.

“Ya’ll should come tomorrow to the room for a little party,” Lynn Harliss said handing over her card. “Justin wants to talk to you about John Atkinson.”

There I was in Justin Timberlake’s hotel room, but I felt I had stayed long enough.

“Hey, are you the one writing about John Atkinson?” Timberlake said in his drawl as he softly touched my arm. “I want to talk about how inspirational he is. Hey, you want a beer?”

And so, for the next hour we spoke about John Atkinson and Justin’s love for golf, his mom, my kids and Torrey Pines while sipping a beer.

Neither of us sneezed.

Justin Timberlake's 'package' digitally altered

by Music-News.com - June 17 2008
photo by Ros O'Gorman

Justin Timberlake's 'package' was digitally altered in new movie 'The Love Guru' - because it was too big. The film's director, and Justin's co-star, Mike Myers revealed the 'SexyBack' singer left cast and crew stunned when he stepped on to set in a pair of tight Speedo swimming trunks which left nothing to the imagination.

He said: "What is amazing about the Speedo is that they have to do a lot of special effects to reduce the size. Oh, yeah - you heard it here first, folks!"

Mike also admitted he developed a man crush on Justin while they shot the film, which also stars new mom Jessica Alba. When asked if he was harbouring feelings for the 27-year-old star, Mike replied: "I will confirm that, yes!"

Justin recently revealed he felt confident in the tight trunks in the hilarious scene but found it tough when they became wedged between his buttocks.

He said: "This may be too much information but I was constantly digging out those wedgies. "I work out pretty diligently. At the time I was on tour, I worked on this film for 10 days. I was on tour so I was in shape."

The Hollyscoop.com girls are slaves to fashion. Last night, we caught up with Trace Ayala at The Love Guru Movie Premiere. Trace happens to be Justin Timberlake's business partner for their clothing line Wililam Rast.

Trace revealed that Justin is taking WR to the Big Apple this upcoming season. Expect to see the 'Fall 08' collection in NYC for New York Fashion Week. For a fashion designer, this is a huge promotion from doing shows in Los Angeles.

Trace mentioned that WR has a huge campaign coming out in the Fall. Denim is always in and Trace revealed that WR jeans will be going bright with colors such as pink, green, yellow and red.

Trace also revealed that his use of fabrics for the collections has changed due to the shift in weather. Trace told us to expect to see 'a lot of really light weight fabrics for fall.' Seems like William Rast is changing up their style and we have until September to check out the results. In the meantime, check out our interview with the designer below.

Cameron taught Timberlake about women

Pop star Justin Timberlake is thankful to ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz for making him understand the fairer sex.

The 27-year-old singer dated the Charlie's Angels star for almost four years before their split in 2007. In an interview to Cosmopolitan magazine, the 'Sexy back' singer credited Diaz romance for teaching him most about women.

"I know a couple more things than I used to, but us men will never understand women. Ever!" Contactmusic quoted him as saying. "I think I learnt a lot from my relationship with Cameron, notably that you should always put things in perspective

"As much as I've learnt though, I'm still a man, so I have some kind of learning disability. And women wouldn't have us any other way," he added.

Justin Timberlake Might Like Making People Laugh In 'Love Guru,' But He'll Never Aban

Jun 12 2008 3:47 PM EDT
Justin Timberlake Might Like Making People Laugh In 'Love Guru,' But He'll Never Abandon His 'First Love' 'I don't think I could ever give up music,' says actor/singer, who will star in 'The Open Road' with Jeff Bridges next.
By Patricia Ramos

Blame "D--- in a Box." Justin Timberlake has put his day job aside once again to concentrate on films, but hey, at least he's giving you something to smile about this time around.

"I do love to make people laugh," Timberlake said. "My favorite thing to do when I was a kid was to make my parents laugh. I'd always goof around the house and do stuff like that. And to actually have that as a job, I feel pretty lucky."

This time, that job has him stepping into the role of well-endowed, porn-'stached hockey star Jacque "Le Coq" Grande in the comedy "The Love Guru," also starring Mike Myers and Jessica Alba. It's a far cry from his past roles in dramas such as "Alpha Dog," "Southland Tales" and "Black Snake Moan."

"I'd say I'm not strong in either [genre]," Timberlake said of drama vs. comedy. "I don't know why people keep giving me jobs, but I am going to take them."

JT doesn't have to choose sides for his next film project, one that puts him alongside "Big Lebowski" star Jeff Bridges. "It's actually the first film that's really a dramedy," Timberlake said. "It really has both elements of comedy and drama. It's kind of a slice-of-life type of film, and it's called 'The Open Road.' Jeff and I play father and son."

The actor formerly known as "The Dude" (and the summer's biggest bad guy, thanks to "Iron Man") didn't share White Russians with the 27-year-old in between takes, but life imitated art in another way: Bridges was a father figure for Timberlake on- and offscreen.

"He is, without a doubt, my favorite actor I've ever worked with," Timberlake said. "He is the best. To work with somebody who's been doing it that well for so long — and still to be so collaborative and into it as much as I was — I looked at that and said, 'I want to be you when I grow up.' "

Even though Timberlake hasn't released an album of his own since FutureSex/LoveSounds, he admitted, "I don't think I could ever give up music. I think that's my first love."

Now the singer is showing his charitable side during his current downtime. "I'm actually working with some of my artists in the studio," he said. "It's kind of fun to help other people realize their craft. ... I see so much of myself in them when I first started in the studio. It's nice to be able to pass on the little bit I've learned."
