Justin Timberlake’s Hair-volution: Celebrating His Birthday One Curl At A Time

Justin Timberlake turns 31 today, and while we’re mostly hoping that with age, comes the realization that he owes the world another album. What can we do to petition fiancee Jessica Biel to get on our side with this? Well, while we hope for him to bring the sexy back, some of us aren’t so eager for the return of some of his style choices of years past. JT’s no stranger to trying out new ‘dos and has always kept us guessing from color to length. In his ‘N Sync days, Justin’s two-toned curls graced many a girl’s bedroom walls, but maybe they need to stay there? These days, Justin’s keeping it clean and tapered with a buzz cut. And what do we think of his facial hair experimentation? The Friends With Benefits star has sported a beard or two in his hair-volution. Justin’s ability to pull off these many ‘dos seems to be another of his many talents. So, join us in wishing him a happy birthday as you browse through his hair hits and misses.

Justin Timberlake’s Grandma Confirms His Engagement To Jessica Biel

Some genius reporter must have been armed with an arsenal of marzipan fruits and breakfast teas, because Justin Timberlake‘s grandma has just given up the goods, confirming the rumor that Justin Timberlake and and Jessica Biel are engaged. “He called me on Christmas day and told me he’s engaged,” Justin’s grandma Sadie Bomar told Gossip Cop. Bomar said she was instructed to keep the news a secret “until after the holidays,” adding that “the family loves Jessie… she’s a very sweet girl.” Ugh, how could JTimbs be mad at all that sweetness?! Also, how can that reporter miss the opportunity to milk Bomar for any potential album info?! Sadie would have cracked like a elderly pecan!

This isn’t the first time Bomar has spilled the proverbial beans about her grandson’s love life either, including details about his on-again, off-again lady friend. “Jessica was keen to marry, but Justin isn’t ready,” Sadie told British magazine Closer back in 2009. “As far as we’re concerned, he’s always been single.” Memaws! Always the weakest link in the gossip chain. And the most adorable.

Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel Engagement Rumor Is Back


A couple of weeks ago, sources in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, started spreading the rumor that Justin Timberlake had proposed to on-again girlfriend Jessica Biel while on a snowboarding trip. But if it’s true, we’ve heard nothing official since then. Maybe they didn’t want to get buried by all those other holiday love stories? But today, Us Weekly is hyping its new issue by citing “several insiders” who say the story is true.

“Justin knows how much she loves snowboarding and the mountains, so it was the perfect place,” one source reportedly told the magazine. Still, this brings us nowhere closer to an actual confirmation of the potentially happy news.

The story first came up when Tayloe Piggott, a jewelry store in the resort town, initially posted a note about it on Facebook, but they quickly denied any first-hand knowledge of the event, writing, “Again – our most sincere apologies to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. We cannot believe where this rumor, which started out as (seemingly innocent) news that had been circulating in Jackson Hole, has been blown into a massive gossip event. We hope that Justin and Jessica enjoyed their visit to our town and are so sorry that it has ended up with this fiasco.”

So, we know two facts: Jessica likes snowboarding. And the pair were in Jackson Hole. That’s something, we guess.

Elton John Wants Justin Timberlake To Play Him In Biopic

Honky cats, we don’t know how many times we have to tell you to get back, but we are not kidding around this time! Based on comments he made to the L.A. Times, Elton John is angling for his “number one” choice Justin Timberlake to play him in the upcoming biopic Rocketman, a film that is, according to the singer, “going to be a surreal look at my life, and not just a factual look at my life.” Well, this sounds like a perfect match for Justin. Singing? Check. Acting? Check. Wearing skin-tight ’70s bell bottoms while spiraling into a drug-filled vortex of debauchery? Oh, sorry, we just snapped our pencil in anticipation! The splinters, we can barely feel them!

If Elton John sounds a little biased, it’s only because he already knows Timberlake will look amazing in gigantic novelty glasses and a receding hairline; Justin portrayed Elton once before, in 2001. “He played me before in a David LaChapelle video of ‘Rocket Man’ and it was superb,” Elton added, though Rolling Stone gently points out that it was John’s video for “This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore” which starred a surprisingly convincing, adorably gap-toothed Timberlake. So what do you think? Should Justin Timberlake go full Elton, or does this have “fabulous disaster” written all over it?

Did Justin Timberlake Get Engaged To Jessica Biel?

Whoa now! Last we checked in with Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, they were cordial ex’s who occasionally went on friendly bike rides together. Now reports are swirling that the ex-couple are now engaged! The Wyoming-area Tayloe Piggot Jewelry claims that JT popped the question to his on-again-off-again-apparently-on-again girlfriend at The Amangani, an upscale resort. “Word on the street is that Justin Timberlake proposed to Jessica Biel at the Amangani last night,” the jewelers posted on their Facebook. “We’re picking out post-engagement presents for them just in case they come in! Trying to play it cool.”

New York PR agent Kyle Schaffler is adding fuel to the marriage flames. “I love that no media outlets know about the Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel engagement,” he tweeted. “Benefits of working in PR.” However, he says that it all went down at a different hotel, the equally swanky Jackson. But so far no one even remotely close to the pair have publicly commented. Which makes us wonder if the tales of a secret engagement are true, or just one big advertisement for Tayloe Piggot Jewlery and PR dude Kyle Schaffler. We’ll keep you posted.

Cameron Diaz Adds Diddy To Her List Of Really Random Hookups

There really is something about Cameron Diaz. The lovely leggy blonde has had dozens of leading men in her nearly 20 years as a film star, but she’s had almost as many in her personal life too! Cam has been romantically linked to such diverse (some would say “random”) dudes as Justin Timberlake, baseballer Alex Rodriguez, and even self-proclaimed Mind Freak, Criss Angel. But now it looks like she can add Diddy to her list of snuggle buddies.

Eyewitnesses told the New York Post that she and Diddy were mackin’ it at at the Dream Downtown Hotel on Saturday night. It was apparently after 1 a.m. when Diddy arrived at her table, and soon the bottles of Ciroc started flowing. “They were kissing and making out,” and being “very affectionate” as they danced before leaving together in the wee hours of the morning, the source said. Despite this, reps for both stars claim that the meeting was purely platonic. “They just friends,” said Diddy’s publicist, while Diaz’s agent insists that they were simply discussing a movie project. Sure…

Check out more guys who have “discussed movie projects” with Cameron Diaz in the gallery below!

Mila Kunis Was “Very Nice” At Marine Corps Ball


Marine Corps Sgt. Scott Moore tweeted https://twitter.com/#!/theScottMoore/status/137643797956931585 on Friday, “Tonight is for you 7 Betio Bastards,” referring to the seven members of his unit, the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, who died in Afghanistan. But he might be forgiven if his mind wandered to his date once in a while. Mila Kunis made good on her pledge to attend the Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, North Carolina, after his video asking her to the ball went viral.

“She gets credit and a lot of respect for coming here, not being part of this world and following through on her word,” Moore told People. She was “very nice and very respectful” at the ball, he said, leading us to wonder if maybe he feared she would slip into sarcastic Jackie mode during the event.

Justin Timberlake, Minka Kelly, Kellan Lutz Heat Up GQ Men Of The Year Party

At last night’s party for the GQ Men of the Year, our friends over at MTV News asked a very important question: Who would win in a fight, GQ’s Men or People’s Sexiest Men?

“I’ll take on the whole entire cast of Parks and Recreation. I’ll leave Justin [Timberlake] to take care of Glee and Jimmy Fallon could karate-chop the rest of those guys,” GQ honoree Jay-Z joked. And Joe Manganiello, who made People’s list of 25 Sexy Chests to Be Thankful For (amen!), had the most brilliant idea: “I think we should do it for charity!”

While we get in line for tickets to that one (please, powers that be, make it happen!), let’s take a look at some of the hottest fashions on display at last night’s festivities, from men (the likes of Kellan Lutz, Armie Hammer and Josh Hutcherson) and women (Minka Kelly, Sarah Silverman, Emma Roberts and more).

Justin Timberlake Keeps Promise, Attends Marine Corps Ball As A Date

Remember this video? It’s of Cpl. Kelsey De Santis asking Justin Timberlake out to the Marine Corps ball back in July. This was right after he had egged on Mila Kunis to accept Sgt. Scott Moore’s invitation to go to the ball with him. It started off a trend too, because Marine Sargent Ray Lewis asked Betty White as well. Mila agreed and so did Justin.

There are multiple Marine Corps Balls, apparently. The one Mila is supposed to go to is scheduled for November 18 in Greenville, North Carolina. The pressure’s on for her to attend now, because Justin kept his promise and escorted Cpl. De Santis to the ball in Richmond, Virginia, on Saturday night. She met up with him at his hotel before going to the ball together, and Justin stayed through the evening. He looked pretty fine in his tux too, so that is one lucky lady.

Justin Timberlake Reassures Us He Could Never Stop Making Music

He just doesn’t know how to quit you. He being Justin Timberlake, you being the corporeal embodiment of music, we guess. The point is, now matter how many dystopian sci-fi flicks he might star in or on-and-off relationships he might invest his emotional energy in, Justin promises that he will eventually make music feel sexy feelings again. “My idols as it were [Frank] Sinatra and Dean Martin and Gene Kelly, kind of the guys who could do it all,” Timberlake said during his Jimmy Kimmel Live interview last night. “And do it in a way that was authentic to them. I don’t think I could ever stop doing music.” Did you hear that, music? He wants to do you! Seems like our assumptions about Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s relationship preventing him from returning to his sweet, sweet tunes isn’t coming true! That Biel must be one open-minded woman!
