    Stylist Claims Justin Timberlake Staged Janet Jackson 'Nipplegate' to Outdo Her Ex Britney Spears

    Wayne Scot Lukas, who was in charge of the ‘Together Again’ singer’s look for 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show, reveals the ‘SexyBack’ crooner insisted on doing ‘a reveal’ to upstage Britney, Madonna and Christina Aguilera’s kiss at MTV VMAs.

    Apr 12, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Justin Timberlake might not be as innocent as he’s claimed to be in the infamous Nipplegate at the 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show. Having dubbed the incident that exposed Janet Jackson’s naked breast onstage as “wardrobe malfunction” for years, he’s now unveiled to have planned it beforehand.

    Stylist Wayne Scot Lukas, who prepped Janet’s look for the halftime show performance with Justin, tells Page Six that the former NSYNC member pushed for the “wardrobe malfunction” in an attempt to outdo his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears. Months earlier before the Super Bowl show, the “Toxic” songstress, Madonna and Christina Aguilera became the talk of the town with their scandalous kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards.

    Wanting to upstage his former girlfriend, Justin allegedly “insisted on doing something bigger than their performance. He wanted a reveal.” As to how he arranged for it, Wayne suggests that the “Cry Me a River” hitmaker had something to do with the last minute change of Janet’s outfit.

    The superstylist says the “That’s the Way Love Goes” songstress was initially going to wear a pearl G-string inspired by one that Kim Cattrall had worn in an episode of “Sex and the City”. He explains, “Janet was going to be in a Rocha dress, and [Justin] was going to step on the back of her dress to reveal her butt in this pearl G-string,” but “the outfit changed a couple of days before, and you saw the magic.”

    For that reason, Wayne argues, “I wouldn’t call it a wardrobe ‘malfunction’ in a million years. It was the most functioning wardrobe in history.” He goes on defending his job to prepare Janet’s look on that now-infamous night, “As a stylist, it did what it was intended to do.”

    Justin recently extended his apology to Janet as well as to his ex Britney, after he was criticized online for the way he treated the women in his life following the release of the explosive “Framing Britney Spears” documentary. “I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed,” he said in a statement issued in February.

    He added, “I also feel compelled to respond, in part, because everyone involved deserves better and most importantly, because this is a larger conversation that I wholeheartedly want to be part of and grow from.”

      Justin Timberlake to Explore Secret Life of Chuck Barris Series in New Apple Plus Series

      by

      Instagram

      The untitled project, which is based on 1984 memoir ‘Confessions of a Dangerous Mind’, will see the pop superstar-turned-actor taking on the role of ‘The Gong Show’ host.

      Apr 10, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Justin Timberlake is set to portray U.S. game show host and alleged CIA assassin Chuck Barris in a new Apple TV+ series.

      The pop superstar-turned-actor will take on the lead role in the as-yet-untitled series, based on Barris’ wild 1984 memoir, “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind”, in which he claimed to have become a TV personality, hosting “The Gong Show” and creating popular series like “The Dating Game” and “The Newlywed Game”, as an elaborate cover for his real job as an undercover agent in the 1960s and ’70s.

      CIA officials denied ever working with Barris, but the autobiography previously inspired the 2002 film of the same name, directed by George Clooney and starring Sam Rockwell. Barris himself said in a 194 interview on NBC’s “Today” show, “No, I was never a CIA hitman.”

      “I never did those things. I once applied for the CIA, and while I was going through the process I got a job and went on television,” the TV host who died in 2017 at the age of 87 added. “But I had always wondered what would have happened if I had done both.”

      Now Timberlake will be exploring the secret life of Barris for a new hour-long drama series, with the pilot penned by showrunner Jon Worley, according to Deadline. Worley will be sharing the showrunner position with “Ray Donovan” executive producer David Hollander.

      The project was recently picked up at auction by Apple bosses, who previously worked with Timberlake on the recent Fisher Stevens drama “Palmer”. It will be co-produced by Miramax and Paramount Television Studios.

      The former NSYNC star is currently working on his next studio installment and he would love to collaborate with Kendrick and Travis on the upcoming studio album.

      Jan 31, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Justin Timberlake is taking his time working on a new album and has a list of dream collaborators in mind – including rapper Kendrick Lamar.
      The 39-year-old singer and actor revealed he has been in the studio recently, working on the follow-up to 2018’s “Man of the Woods”.
      When asked by chat show host Jimmy Fallon whether it would be correct to say that “a new Justin Timberlake album” in the works, Justin replied, “Yeah, we can say that. There’s a possibility. Let’s go with yes.”
      However, Justin insisted he is not in a huge rush to release any new music as he likes to take his time with his material.
      He explained, “I sat on Mirrors for like, four or five years. I think I just take my time, maybe that’s my barometer – if I still love them as much when time goes by, hopefully people will after they hear them, when time goes by.”

      And Justin, who recently welcomed son Phineas with wife Jessica Biel, revealed his dream collaborators for the album would include Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott.
      Fallon replied, “That would be a good mix.”
      Meanwhile, Justin – who also has son Silas with Jessica – previously revealed he left boyband *NSYNC because he felt he was “growing out of it.”
      Speaking about the split, he said, “We were on a stadium tour, and I just felt like the whole thing was too big. It started as a fun snowball fight that was becoming an avalanche.”
      “And, also, I was growing out of it. I felt like I cared more about the music than some of the other people in the group. And I felt like I had other music I wanted to make and that I needed to follow my heart.”

      The ‘Trolls World Tour’ star plays an ex-convict who adjusts to life outside prison when he unexpectedly forms a bond with a young boy, who suffers bullying from his peers.

      Dec 18, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Justin Timberlake returns to acting in the first trailer for upcoming film “Palmer”. Released on Thursday, December 17, the promo video gives an emotional look at the touching story of an unlikely relationship between an ex-convict and an LGBTQ kid.
      The “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” singer portrays Eddie Palmer, a former high school football star whose professional career was shattered after he was imprisoned. Returning home after serving 12 years in prison, Eddie finds himself struggling to adjust to his new life while working as a janitor.
      When he’s forced to babysit Sam (Ryder Allen), a young boy abandoned by his mother, Eddie forms an unlikely bond with the gender non-conforming child. Eddie teaches Sam to defend himself from his peers, who often bully him because he’s different.
      While caring for Sam, Eddie also meets and starts a relationship with Maggie Hayes (Alisha Wainwright), a teacher. As Eddie faces judgment from those around him for raising the kid, his past threatens to ruin his new life and family.

      But as the official logline for the movie puts it, “Family is who you make it,” Eddie isn’t going to give up his new family that easily. “The truth is I haven’t felt like I was good at anything…until Sam,” he says in voiceover in the trailer. In another scene taking place in what looks like a courtroom, he promises, “I will not abandon that boy.”
      The trailer is set to “Redemption”, a new original single from Nathaniel Rateliff.
      Directed by Fisher Stevens from a screenplay by Cheryl Guerriero, “Palmer” also stars June Squibb as Vivian Palmer, Juno Temple as Sam’s mother Shelly, Jesse C. Boyd as Coles, J.D. Evermore as Principal Forbes, Lance E. Nichols as Sibs and Jay Florsheim as a football referee.
      The drama film is set to be released on Apple TV+ starting January 29, 2021.

      Justin Timberlake Called Out for Saying NSYNC Split Wasn't Big News to the Band

      by

      WENN/FayesVision

      Despite that, the Grammy winner still insists that their split wasn’t big news to the band as saying, ‘At that time, I think everybody had aspirations of doing other things and we had talked about it.’
      Oct 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – It’s been years since NSYNC shocked the world with their split announcement. While people all around the world were surprised and disbelief over it, the band didn’t think it was that shocking considering that they had been thinking of going their own way, according to Justin Timberlake.
      Justin recently stopped by Zane Lowe’s Apple Music Essentials podcast, on which the latter recalled the hype around the boyband’s split at the time. When the “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” singer tried to downplay how big the news had been, he got called out by Zane, who pointed out that he might think so because he was working on his solo music at the time. “You were too busy hanging out either in Miami or wherever Pharrell was,” he said, mentioning Pharrell Williams.
      Despite that, Justin still insisted that his former group mates were thinking the same thing. He told the podcast host, “At that time, I think everybody had aspirations of doing other things and we had talked about it. For me it was always–I mean, when I was 10 years old, my dream was to have my own record.”

      Elsewhere in the interview, Justin opened up about how his team was initially against the idea of making “SexyBack” the first single off his album “FutureSex/LoveSounds”. “When I brought the album in, I said, ‘This is the first single,’ ” he recalled. “Everybody told me I was crazy. They’re like, ‘It’s too fast.’ I’m like, ‘OK.’ Like, ‘It doesn’t sound like you.’ I’m like, ‘OK.’ They’re like, ‘It doesn’t have your signature falsetto.’ I’m like, ‘OK.’ And I say, ‘Every reason why you think that that’s why it’s wrong, I think it’s right.’ ”

      Justin was right in the end. “SexyBack” became his first No. 1 single on Billboard’s Hot 100, keeping the spot for seven weeks straight. In addition to that, it won Best Dance Recording at the 2007 Grammy Awards.
