Pants are optional if you’re Britney Spears.

Lindsay and Dina Lohan deserve one another.

Paris Hilton is an exponentially overhyped skank.

Justin Timberlake is not an enormous fan of celebrity gossip.

These facts are long established. Recently, however, we’ve learned just how true the last one is. The singer has supposedly gotten so fed up with paparazzi while in Europe, where he is currently touring, that he has taken it a step further than his usual snide remarks.

On June 19 in Stockholm, Justin Timberlake was heard calling the attention he receives “tiresome,” and, according to Us Weekly, Justin lashed out in Oslo later in the week.

Supposedly someone on the street asked Justin Timberlake why he didn’t help out his ex girlfriend, messed up pop star and mother to two Britney Spears. He got all pissed and yelled at the person:

SexyBack’s totally fed up with people begging him to help ex-squeeze BRITNEY SPEARS get her sanity back - which is why JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE totally exploded when a woman approached him as he exited his agent’s office and scolded: “Why won’t you help her out I’ve read she’s still in love with you. Can’t you just try” Furious, Justin lashed back: “Why does everyone keep telling me I have to take care of Britney… Britney, Britney, Britney!…She’s an EX girlfriend! Doesn’t anyone get it We’re NOT together anymore. I am soooo totally over her!” And off he stormed. Totally!

There’s a story in OK! Magazine that says that Justin still loves Britney and all, of course, but that the woman was calling him 10 to 12 times a day last year and he had to change his cellphone number and tell all his friends not to let her know how to get in touch with him. She probaby bugged the shit out of him, and they’re just putting a positive spin on Britney’s stalking:

As her world began to unravel in 2006, she needed him more than ever and tried hard to reconnect. “She would sometimes call him 10 or 12 times in a row before he’d finally give in and take her call,” a friend of Britney tells OK!. “She was almost stalking him for a while…”

Justin has changed his cell phone number and has even gone so far as to ask friends not to help Britney reach him if she contacted them, the friend says. “He can’t and won’t have anything to do with Britney now despite his feelings for her. He wants only the best for her and hopes she can clean up. He truly believes her life depends on it, sand so does their friendship. If she makes it through rehab and is serious about getting her life back on track, he’ll be the first on in line to give her a welcome-back hug.”

[From OK! magazine, print edition, March 12, 2007]

That whole “tough love” angle sounds like bullshit to me, and I bet Justin just didn’t want to deal with Britney’s drama.

I read this book The Gift of Fear a while ago, which basically tells you to trust your instincts and if you get a bad vibe about someone or a situation to just do anything to get out of there quickly. There was a whole section on stalking and you’re just never supposed to take the person’s call, respond to their e-mail or have any contact with them. They live for some kind of response from you and are trying to rile you up. Even if you had a relationship with them at some point, if you are afraid of them or have a bad feeling, you should not talk to them.

In Britney’s case she was probably just really needy and annoying. This new rocker guy is not going to last for her. She needs to have a relationship with herself first.

Justin Timberlake is ready to get serious with Jessica Biel, with sources claiming that he is “in love” with her.

Dammit, dammit, dammit! First that skank yesterday kisses George Clooney, now Jessica Biel moves in on Justin Timberlake. Obviously Jessica did not read the memo that Justin belongs to ME! Where’s my Jessica Biel voodoo doll…

From People:

After four months of playing the field since his split from Cameron Diaz, is Justin Timberlake ready to “go steady” with Jessica Biel

The two, who were first linked at a Golden Globe afterparty in January, recently spent several days together in the U.K., where Timberlake was touring. (They holed up in Manchester’s five-star Lowry Hotel and took in a soccer match.)

And now “Justin’s in love,” a source close to the singer tells PEOPLE in its new issue. “She’s the coolest chick ever. He wants to be with her all the time. He’s ready to be serious.”

I really hope this isn’t true, but seeing as it is People magazine it may have a bit of truth in it. They have been hanging around a lot together. It could be a rebound thing, though (or at least, I am hoping that’s it).

Oh well, at least he isn’t copping off with Scarlett Johansson. That girl has been through every fine and single A-list guy faster that I got through my International Passport breakfast at IHOP this morning. Jessica Biel better watch her back though, because I’m sure it’s not just me who is not happy about this latest development in Justin’s love life.

Right, Cameron and Britney

It’s his dick in a box.

That much we knew, thanks to Justin Timberlake’s matter-of-fact crooning on Saturday Night Live over the holidays. But as JT reprised his SNL skit (which you can watch by following the link above) with Andy Samberg last night at Madison Square Garden, the Gossip couldn’t help but wonder who the next recipient of this very special box might be.

After all, since ending his long-term relationship with Cameron Diaz, he’s been linked to Scarlett Johansson, Alyssa Milano and Jessica Biel. Yeah. If he even hit one out of three, he would be our hero. Well, not as much if the one were Alyssa Milano. You could do worse, no question about it - she’s just not in the same league as the other two.

Regardless, with Valentine’s Day coming up, this heartwarming package can only stop and reflect on conquests past and ponder where it’s being shipped to…

We know who would like to receive this box: Britney Spears. But don’t hold your breath waiting for Justin to FedEx it (if you will) over to that walking train wreck.

The National Enquirer is reporting that Britney Spears’ dad, Jamie, called her ex boyfriend Justin Timberlake begging him to talk some sense into his drugged out party-fiend daughter:

Britney Spears’ father is begging Justin Timberlake to save his troubled daughter, says a family insider.

According to a source close to [Britney’s dad] Jamie, “Daddy Spears called Justin and said, ‘Forgive her, win her back, save her!”

The source says Jamie, who’s battled his own addictions with booze and drugs, believes Justin is the only person who was able to keep his famous daughte ron the straight and narrow.

“I don’t think that Justin has ever really gotten over the breakup with Britney,” said the source. “He knows that she’s a train wreck with a career that’s on a downward slide. I believe that he will seriously consider coming to her rescue.”

According to the source, the plan is to get Justin to convince Britney to concentrate on her music career and stay out of the spotlight before she loses more fans.

“Britney’s camp knows that the best and only publicity that would be good for her would be for her to be seen with Justin,” adds the source.

[From The National Enquirer print edition, January 29, 2007]

This might be true that Britney’s dad called Justin, if he even still has his number, but there’s no way Justin would even be seen out to dinner with Britney at this point. It would ruin his career to be associated with her, and he knows that. Plus Britney is such a pantyless bad weave-wearing mess that he’ll never take her seriously.

Maybe he might call her or something to give her advice for old time’s sake. You know that he doesn’t give a shit about anyone except himself though, and he’s not about to come to Britney’s rescue if it means he’d have to be seen with her.

We haven’t seen Britney for a couple of days because her aunt, Sandra Bridges Covington, her mom’s sister, passed away at the age of 59. Britney attended the funeral and is now reportedly back in LA. Unfortunately this sad event may be the impetus she needs to turn her life around.

Update: PopSugar has pictures of Britney landing back in Burbank, California. She’s seen with a covered up baby in a carseat, so maybe Jayden James actually exists!

Who’s the boss of Justin Timberlake

We know it’s not Cameron Diaz anymore - but could it be a former flame

The Grammy Award-nominated singer enjoyed an early Saturday morning game of hotel basketball with a pair of lovely ladies over the weekend. One of them, Alyssa Milano, used to get her sexy back on with JT in 2002.

After his Friday night concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Timberlake hit the Jet nightclub with his entourage, where he danced with Milano and chatted with Eva Longoria.

The Hollywood Gossip writers just realized we chose the wrong profession.

At 4:00 a.m. the crew headed to an after-after party at the Palms’ Hardwood Suite in the hotel’s new 347-room Fantasy Tower. The $25,000-a-night, 10,000-square suite features an indoor basketball court, complete with scoreboard and locker room.

The previous weekend, Timberlake’s ex, Britney Spears, stayed at the Fantasy Tower’s $40,000-a-night, two-story Hugh Hefner Sky Villa with new beau Isaac Cohen. It’s a small, beautiful world.

“Justin played basketball for quite a while with Eva and Alyssa,” says a source. He and about 100 other revelers “stayed there for a couple hours.”

Timberlake and Milano are NOT back together, however, the source also says. They were spotted clubbing in L.A. and playing golf together, but “right now they are not boyfriend and girlfriend. They are just having a good time.”

Just “right now,” huh Looks like Scarlett Johansson might have some competition on her hot hands.
