The A to Z of Justin Timberlake

A is for Abs. Yes, it’s the first thing that came to my mind, and admit it’s on yours, too! He works them with 200 daily pushups, and flaunts them on the cover of big time magazines like Rolling Stone and Marie Claire. When Justin’s not posing, he’s being photographed candidly at Bally Fitness, where he is a proud member, but we’ll get to that later.

B is for; well I don’t want to say Britney. Okay- aha! Bearlie (short for Barely There) and Bella. They are Justin’s two (male) Yorkies. They are black- both of them.

C is for “Cry Me A River.” This is one of Justin’s most successful solo songs at the moment, really because of the controversy of the whole “Britney payback” thing. Hey- made the man money, right? And in the video, the plot, directed by Francis Lawrence is as follows. Justin plays a heartbroken man who breaks into his cheating Ex-girlfriend’s house to make out with a shirtless (but she had a bra on) woman, tape it, and leave it to play in the girlfriend’s house. When she arrives home, Justin follows her into the shower, and it ends with her seeing the tape play. Justin said he wanted to put a few things in the video to make people talk. There is a short statue similar to Britney’s tattoo on her back, and theex girlfriend resembles Britney- apparently. What can I say- he’s a creepy man! (Not really, just in the video)

D is for dancing, one of Justin’s biggest assets. After a performance at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, he has been praised greatly for his moves.

E is for entertainer. Whether it was lip-synching to a New Kids On The Block song or winning the stage with talent and modeling on the Southern Charm Pageant stage, Justin has been making girls scream ever since the age of a mere eight years old.

F is for fitness- Bally Fitness. Justin is a regular member there, and the people there are glad to have him. Of course they are? Who wouldn’t take business with Justin? They are so glad to have him that they used his video, Rock Your Body in the Bally Fitness campaign in March. 2004

G is for guitar. Justin plays bass and owns eight guitars. One of them was handed down from his grandfather. It’s the exact guitar Grandpa Timberlake played with THE Elvis Presley on. It was also the duplicated guitar that got smothered on Punk’d.

H is for humble, a quality Justin often mentions as a factor of sexiness. Even if it seems as though he flaunts himself grazing the cover of every magazine on the planet, Justin is humble himself. He has referred to himself as a hideous little lizard. Justin is actually a bit frightened by himself on the cover of certain magazines. On the Wayne Brady show, Justin comments, “…And then all of a sudden you’re breezing by the newsstand on Sunset and you’re like ‘hey, oh no!” making a disgusted expression. Justin also says he doesn’t look in the mirror everyday and say he’s hott. He must be blind to be this humble!

I is for innovative. On several occasions, Justin has referred to the Justified Stripped Tour as “innovative.” Besides touring, from writing a bass part for a song on the spot in less than an hour and wrapping words in twisted ways to get a message out onto a beat, Justin screams innovation.

J is for January 31, 1981. It’s the day of a miracle. Justin Timberlake was born in St. Judes Medical Center of Memphis at 6:30 PM (Memphis time, I expect). “I pretty much just popped out singing,” a quote from a seventeen-year-old JT said. And it’s true! By the age of two, Justin could perfectly harmonize himself with the radio- all by himself.

K is for K8. Justin’s future wife. She’s that girl that Justin has referred to as his angel. “I still think there’s this female out there that’s just, just the most unbelievable specimen on the planet... I’ll let you know when I meet her” And he will meet her when she’s rich and famous just like him. Okay, I couldn’t think of anything else for K!

L is for Lynn (Harless): Best friend and mother of Justin Timberlake. He presents her a a great person, someone anyone and everyone would want as their own mother. Justin recalls many great lessons from her, such as, “If you’re going to do something, do it. Don’t do it half @$$ed,” and “You’re going to do dumb things and you’re going to do great things. All that matters is that you learn from them.” Hey, that beat being grounded for a week. And Justin did learn from them, because Lynn always talked to him like they were on the same level. Otherwise, he’d rebel. It seems like Justin wants to take that on when he becomes a father, the way he talks about his mother so fondly.

M is for Mickey Mouse Club. Yes, this is where it all started. Justin sang, danced, acted, and recorded. Then he rode the rides at Disney world in his free time. At the end of the week, he received a $950 paycheck, and fame! Who could turn that down? Not bad for a twelve year old kid!

N is not for Nsync. (Haha- bet I fooled you!) N is for “Never Again.” Justin says (when asked) this is the most personal song on his record. My comment and feelings about the song: it is very connectable. Justin sings so plainly in it, you feel like you are listening to him in a conversation like an old friend, who he is pouring his heart out to. You really get to know him. It is susceptible that he cried during the making of this song. The surprising thing for being such a personal song that Justin pulled in Brian McKnight to co-write and accompany it. Okay, and N is for Nsync too, so here we go! (Hehe- no pun intended) Justin got the call from Chris Kirkpatrick, Justin called JC, and this is a Justin A-Z, so I’m not going to recite the rest of the band’s tickets in. Justin was only 14 at the time, but he was quickly the group’s front man. If I write anymore about Nsync, you’ll have to know everything, so I’ll leave it at that.

O is for Ozzie, Justin’s old dog who died during year 2000. That was short!

P is for pucker up. Yes, we all want to for our Blue eyed soul man. Admit it.

Q is for quotes. (Thanks, Liz!!) Justin is always saying the hottest little things that make you want to cry, or even laugh. To name a few:

When asked if he had any love interests:

"It's pointless looking for love. Music's my love."

In contrast to the above:

"I still believe that there is this female out there that I just have not met yet that is just the most unbelievable specimen on the planet." -VH1 Interview

Really sexy:

“I don’t think there is anything thirty-something women could bring on that would corrupt me. I’ve been doing this since I was 15. Sex has never been taboo for me. I enjoy it and I praise it and I embrace it and I celebrate it openly, freely and funly-- if that’s a word.” -Marie Claire Magazine

Really sad:

“Sometimes I just stare at the ceiling at night and just cry myself to sleep missing what we had.” -Vibe Magazine

Well, go to our quotes section for more. That’s enough!!

R is for Randall. That is Justin’s middle name and his birth father’s first name.

S is for sexy. Super sexy. That’s all I can say. Besides, does that really need an explanation??

T is for Tennessee. It is Justin’s home state. His hometown of Tennessee is Millington, outside of Memphis, but now he has a house with his mom in Shelby Forest. There he proclaims have the best hamburgers you’ve ever had in your life.

U is for Uvasun, Justin’s tanning place. Don’t worry; he’s not in danger of skin cancer. Uvasun is a very high-class spray on tanning salon. It looks very real, and uses aloe and other stuff too. One tan is about $40.00, and only lasts 5-7 days!

V is for very everything. Justin is very hot, very sexy, very masculine, very smart, very dumb at times (like we all are, we must admit if we have any humor), btw very humorous, very handsome, very mature, the list goes on and on!

W is for Wonder; Stevie to be exact. One of Justin’s biggest and most reminded influences. If you listen to Justin, then you put on Stevie Wonder, you see the similarities. You really do. Even someone as oblivious as me can see it.

X is for Xtina. Otherwise known as Christina Aguilera, Xtina is Justin’s tourmate in the co-headlining tour, Justified and Stripped. It is named TCA’s biggest Summer tour of 2003. The tour is set for 45 dates, but the last ten or so are questionable at the moment due to the set collapsing in Atlantic City yesterday.

Y is for youth. Something Justin still has and is not afraid to show. Justin shoots potatoes out of a homemade gun (like you yell at your 13 year old brother for) with friend, Trace Ayala. “It’s a total country boy thing,” Justin says. Ah, a kid at heart; He also only likes red Sour Patch Kids, so don’t be surprised to be in front of Justin Timberlake in the movie theaters when one hits you in the head. Well, of course you’ll be surprised, I mean, this is him.

Z is for zzz. Yes, sleeping. Justin is a back sleeper. I only know that because he was in bed sleeping in the Italian Vogue magazine last year. He also talks in his sleep, and admits it. His mom says it’s the best time to get stuff out of him. You can even have a full-blown conversation with him, even if he says he’d wake up if you stood over him.
