"She took advantage of him," the friend said. "She's a 37-year-old singer who's using a hot young star to keep her career alive."

Hot young star? This friend of Justin Thimbled!*k is slightly overrating his appeal. Perhaps this is one of Justin's "special friends".

[In_25_words_or_less]

I guess once you've been on top with all that sycophantic attention, anything less seems like rejection. Hence the desperation to stay there.

[Natural Law]

Even though he is now a solo artist, he can't shake his start as a boy band pillow biter. When your path to fame passes though that pudgy puff Lou Perlman you gotta think it wasn't his voice alone that sinched the deal.

Get ready for the Nude Grammy Awards, Sunday night on CBS.

LOL, Drudge ought to be good Sunday night.

"lo and behold, there was a nipple."

Obligatory Seinfeld reference here

Get rid of the TV? It would work here; there are no broadcast stations that would come in.

if you bare a breast on national television, you are declaring to the world you're washed up and reaching.

There's no such thing as bad publicity. It was PR brilliance.

Best line so far:

"Janet Jackson's breast cast a shadow on the Super Bowl, which means six more weeks of publicity". (Courtesy of The Bob and Tom Show).

"Personally, I was offended by the entire production," Powell said on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Hey, don't forget the offensive commercials!

Timberlake seems to be no smarter than the hiphoppers
he emulates.

[cyncooper]

Another day, another lie on their steaming pile of prevarications.

Ho hum.

[cyncooper]

Howard Dean informed us that since he's a doctor seeing a breast is hardly shocking.

[new cruelty]

dean thinks its silly

[carton253]

And changed his story...

[wingster]

Apparently the execs have lost all control over their programming over there at CBS/Viacom. Or wait, could it be that the same companies who own MTV have an agenda or wanted it that way...., NAH!

The inmates running the assylum.

[new cruelty]

There's no such thing as bad publicity. It was PR brilliance.

Agreed.

[wingster]

Poor Justin Timberhead!

How could anyone in his own business have pulled the wool over his eyes like that. For the shame... Such a sweet young boy too, corrupted.

[FITZ]

There's no such thing as bad publicity. It was PR brilliance.

I don't think this one is going to be ultimately good for those involved. Certain celebrities --- especially the former Disney Mouseketeers --- Justin, Britney, Cristina --- are acting too hard up for PR --- and Janet and her brother are just looking like perverts.

[spectre]

CBS is in a PR sort of King Solomon dilemma with this.

Morally, they should do the right thing, and ban these two from the Grammy's. Can't trust these juvenile delinquents.

But then, just think of the multitudes who will tune in out of natural curiosity? Wow! Those ratings are going to go thru the roof.

What to do..what to do.???
