> and JC at NBA All-Star Jam Session in Atlanta
>At the American Music Awards two weeks ago, Justin
>Timberlake was pretty secretive about his upcoming
>concert plans. But now that touring partner Christina
>Aguilera has spilled the beans, Timberlake feels
>justified to start yapping about the summer
>extravaganza.
>
>"It was an idea that both of our managers concocted,"
>he said. "When it came to me I said, 'It sounds really
>interesting. It would be fun to be on tour with
>somebody who's that talented' " (see "Timberlake,
>Aguilera Will Team Up For Summer Tour").
>
>Although some folks have raised an eyebrow at the idea
>of Justin touring with a supposed rival of Britney
>Spears, Timberlake wants to downplay any potential
>controversy, and he's quick to sing Aguilera's
>praises.
>
>"She's got one of the most amazing voices I've ever
>heard," he said. "That homegirl can sing. She can
>release a song like 'Dirrty' and get everybody
>talking, and then release a song like 'Beautiful' and
>say, 'Look, this is why I am standing here.' She's
>bad. That's the Christina that I met on the TV show
>that we did ['The All-New Mickey Mouse Club'], and
>that's the Christina that will be around 10 years from
>now."
>
>One of reasons Timberlake is eager to hit the road
>with Aguilera is because he's confident enough in his
>abilities as a singer and performer to not worry about
>being upstaged. Once he starts specifically talking
>about his show, he starts to sound like a
>self-aggrandizing WWE wrestler.
>
>"I'm gonna make an arena feel like a club," he
>boasted. "I want people to feel like they're a part of
>the show and it's a party. Anybody who sits down
>during the show will get kicked out. If you sit down,
>once I find you, you will get booted."
>
>Before Timberlake and Christina hit the road, Justin
>will re-enter the studio to tinker with new material.
>And next month he'll shoot the video for "Rock Your
>Body," the next single from Justified. A director for
>the clip will be chosen in the coming days.
>
>If he's looking to ruffle feathers with the video,
>he'll have a tough time topping the audacity of "Cry
>Me a River," which depicted a heartbroken Justin
>watching a Britney look-alike getting in another man's
>car. Then Timberlake breaks into her house and leaves
>a tape of himself groping another girl running on her
>TV (see "Justin And Britney At War, Magazine Cover
>Story Declares").
>
>Naturally, the footage provoked a flood a commentary
>from fans — which was actually Timberlake's goal. He
>said the clip was his way of commenting on the way the
>media has portrayed his love life, and he doesn't
>regret having filmed it.
>
>"I knew what I was doing," he said. "When you become a
>product of the media's rumor mill you kinda get this
>'thing' about you. It was a chance for me to use it
>and do a little reversing. To go, 'Now I've got all of
>you in the palm of my hand.' "
>
>Since Timberlake released Justified, many critics have
>stopped talking about his love life and started
>focusing on his music. For him, being taken seriously
>as a musician is one of his greatest achievements, and
>it makes it easier to stomach the rumors that
>circulate like buzzing flies and the reporters that
>still want to dig for dirt.
>
>"Regardless of what you do, rumors are gonna be
>around," Timberlake shrugged. "I'm sure when Eminem
>goes to do an interview they still wanna ask him about
>[ex-wife] Kim and his mom. And I'm sure he don't wanna
>talk about it just like I don't wanna talk about all
>this bullsh-- either. But it's just part of what we
>do. Unfortunately it's entertaining for people. They
>want to know about what you do when they don't see
>you."

>For a full-length feature on Justin Timberlake, check
