I got Justin Timberlakes new CD last week, thanks to some one in the loop. It officially came out today and if you leave my apartment and walk a block towards Times Square, you just might notice that there is a massive throng of teenage (and well beyond teenage) girls and gay boys waiting in line for MTV and for Virgin Records. Two seperate lines and about 6 hours till he appears in either place. Lunatics, I'd say. There isn't much I would wait in line for 8 hours for. The ability to see Justin naked and jerking off might convince me. But anyways, I used to have the biggest dorkiest crush on him when I was 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 but sometime around my 22 birthday I got the unreal chance to see him at the LA Sports Club in Boston. I knew he was going to be there that day and even though I worked out stalked for like 3 hours, I got to see him sweaty, in a tank top and sweatpants (sul bulge) and playing basketball with his friends, before he wandered around the gym doing not a whole lot. I think my crush hardon obsession ended there or shortly thereafter. I achieved the moment I was hoping for, I guess. I shook his hand and looked into his eyes. What more could I want other than to well... be fucked by him? He is basically my height and in person (and I guess especially at the gym) he looks like any normal twenty something year old, not incredibly hot, and not incredibly drool worthy. Though I did suck on the water fountain after he drank from it. lol.
Anyways, back to his new CD. He seems to be very much under the wing of Timbaland and I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. For either of them actually. The only song that stands out, by far, is My Love which features TI (whoever that is). It is a great song, and it has pretty interesting lyrics, it's incredibly catchy, and seems to be the second half of Cry Me a River but even though I am obsessed with it now, I think in a month I will be back to um, Madonna or Joe Gauthreaux on my iPod. The best part of the song is the thumping beat in the beginning and the weird synthesized stuff. So maybe he should go back to smoking pot? Rolling Stone's article on him this month is a little um, ridiculous (and incredibly hot, haha):
Timberlake tells me that he was stoned during the Justified sessions but has since quit smoking weed and didn't hit the pipe during the recording of FutureSex/LoveSounds. As the others trickle in, Kedulka and I whip out pre-rolled joints from an Amsterdam coffee shop. "I can't believe I forgot how much fun this is," Timberlake says before taking another drag from a joint mixed with exotic White Widow, AK-47 and Kali buds.
In Timberlake's penthouse suite, the three of us reconvene to embark on the six-inch journey to the bottom of a honey-flavored blunt. Before he says good night, though, we sit on his couch, where he plays me a rough mix of his album closer,
The press that he is doing for the CD though is pretty much the most exciting thing about this new CD and super well needed. If Justins next CD isn't a fucking knock me dead original group of songs, then I don't think Justin will be around in any spotlight when I am 35. Though his whole story of his
"lows" are pretty fucking hot.
Timberlake has endured the high highs and painful lows of the music business. "I've had bottles thrown at me - glass bottles full of piss," he says.
Cute :P
