Timbo’s Prodigy

Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball - Day 2

Meet the first artist to officially be signed to Justin Timberlake’s label, Tennman Records. When Esmée, a 21-year-old Dutch singer, became popular on YouTube in 2006, Timbo took her under his wing and she never looked back.

Esmée is working on her first album, Outta Here, which will be out in August. She also recently wrapped up her music video, “Love Dealer,” where Timbo himself makes a cameo. The video, directed by The Malloys, shows the process of Esmée recording a song. “Justin sends Esmée out into the world and watches her career take off as he looks down on her from a rooftop,” according to People.

Hey, that could have been Bieber! Remember when Justin Bieber was just starting out last year? The teen sensation was torn between Tennman Records and Usher’s label, US Records. In the end, he signed with Usher.

Esmée’s been with Timbo since 2007, and although her career is on a steady rise, it isn’t just as grand as the Bieber fever. What does that say about Timbo as a music producer? Bieber did reveal that Usher’s offer was more interesting that Timbo’s, which made him choose US Records.

And if Justin Bieber’s phenomenal career is any indication of US Records’ skills, I believe Usher wins major points in this game.

Justin Bieber’s “Interview”

Interview magazine’s April issue is selling not because of cover girl Carey Mulligan (ouch!); tweens everywhere are saving their allowances to check out the story on Justin Bieber.

Photographed by Gregory Harris, Justin dresses up in metallics, prints, and—yes!—a more colorful wardrobe. What a refreshing change from his usual black wardrobe with neon kicks.

Zoe Wolff’s article paints a photo of the pint-sized pop heartthrob’s life. One minute he’s a 14-year-old hockey player from Canada who can carry a tune; the next minute he’s bigger than the Jonas Brothers. What wonders a hit Youtube account can do for your life!

I remember last year when he was just another Youtube sensation trying to make it big in the entertainment industry. Thanks to Usher’s tutelage and a number of pop/R&B hits, the 16-year-old has changed the way we view the tween market.

Read the Interview story here. Also check out the photo shoot slideshow.

Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz: Together Again

…for a movie, that is. The former flames are working on their first project ever since they split up in 2007.

Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz on the set of the movie Bad Teacher , shooting on location in Los Angeles

According to IMDB, Bad Teacher is a comedy about a junior high teacher (played by Cameron) who, after being dumped by her sugar daddy, begins to woo a naïve colleague (played by Justin)—a move that pits her against a well-loved teacher. |

Ex-Lovers Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake Take To The Set!

Much hype surrounds the reunion between the two former lovers and all eyes will be on how Justin and Cameron will interact and potentially reignite romantic flames while filming. The two seriously dated for four years, and Justin is now with Jessica Biel.

Shooting for the movie began last weekend in LA, and the two exes seem very professional and in good spirits. Also on set is comedian Jason Segel, and so far the only body language we see between Timbo and Cameron spells “hard work.”

Star Search Is Coming Back

Remember this talent show? It aired from 1983-2003, with its peak in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Back in the day when reality TV ceased to exist, viewers would sit on their couches to see which singers, dancers, and comedians would get the best ratings and win Star Search.

TV network ABC wants to revive the show and are looking modern-day judges to give the coveted 4-star ratings. They’ve approached former American Idol judge Paula Abdul to potentially join the show, but she reportedly demanded a hefty paycheck so no deal was made.

Paula Abdul leaves CNN studios after raising money for victims of the Haitain earthquake on a special 2 hour episode of Larry King Live
Paula Abdul: Nope, I’m not exactly going to go with this show. I really like your dress, though.

While we wait for ABC to cast talent show judges, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and see some of today’s top performers who started off as big dreamers at Star Search.


Before he was a boy band hottie, Justin Timberlake was a cowboy wannabe on Star Search.


Britney Spears appeared in a 1991 episode of Star Search.


At 8, Christina Aguilera was already hitting the high notes.

Who do you think should judge Star Search?

SAG’s Best-Dressed Men

Yesterday I raved about the best-dressed women at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Now it’s the guys’ turn. I know there’s nothing much they can don other than ties and tuxedos, but there are a few stylish men who add the extra oomph to an otherwise conventional suit.

16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red Carpet
Dark eyeliner, check. Moussed hair, check. Silky suit, check. Rockstar bling, check. American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert, a.k.a. Glambert, looked every bit the rockstar on the red carpet.

He may have tried to act goofy for this photo op, but Eli Roth (whose movie Inglorious Basterds won Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture)’s plaid suit made him more hottie than funny.

16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Arrivals
Justin Timberlake never fails to disappoint at the red carpet. His Dolce & Gabbana ensemble was a crowd favorite at last Saturday’s SAG Awards.

Although head-to-toe black is a safe choice, not many guys can stylishly pull it off the way Kevin Bacon did. The Taking Chance actor also took home the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries.

Justin Timberlake Wants To Write Golf Book

Celebrities arriving at LAX airport in Los Angeles, CA
So Justin has a new passion – golf. Looks like he’s been doing good, good enough to write a memoir about the game. I don’t know about that, but maybe he should stick to singing? Then again, we haven’t heard much from him in that regard lately, have we?

23rd Annual American Cinematheque Honors Samuel L. Jackson - Arrivals

In her dressing room no less! By now, you probably have seen the SNL skit featuring Justin and Beyonce. You probably cracked up like the rest of the world but did you know that Beyonce had second thoughts about that skit? All it took to reassure her, though, was a visit from Justin. Good job!



Britney, Madonna on stage


Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake did appear with Madonna during her Sticky & Sweet Tour–but not together as earlier reported. The two appeared with Madonna on separate parts of the program.

Still a coup in my book, but barely.

Justin Timberlake – Madonna flirtation

When Madonna told Justin TImberlake to strip, he stripped

“Nice top shelf,” she said.

Justin fondly recalls that moment “as one of the greatest days of my life.”

At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, Justin returns the compliment, praising Madonna for her “shapely body of work” and how she’s “always been a woman on top” who “fully enjoys that position.”

Her reply? “I’ll get you, f—–!”

Oh, get a room, you two.

Don’t get your panties all in a wad, but it looks like Justin Timberlake has been doing some ring shopping in Santa Monica recently.

But it’s not an engagement ring, it’s a promise ring that Timberlake’s been looking for.  Justin apparently wants to show girlfriend Jessica Biel how committed he is to their budding relationship. 

An insider reveals, ”Justin isn’t ready to propose, but he wants to make a commitment to her. Justin says Jess is his dream girl. He wants to give her a symbol of his affection and love.”

Aww, how sweet.  Btw, Justin, from the quotes on Jess, I don’t think she’s quite ready to settle down anyway.  So, now that Justin is getting a little serious, what do you make of this couple?  Are they the lasting kind?  You tell me.

Was it that time again already?  The Live Earth concert was held on Saturday with concert venues ranging from London, South Africa, New York & Tokyo with the purpose of raising awareness about global warming.

Stars the likes of Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz & Leonardo DiCaprio took center stage to show their passion about the environment.  It’s just too bad it’s not a naked event, right?
