's message, "Justin Timberlake Interview!" on 17:47:56 10/11/02 Fri
As excited as ravenous Justin fans are to hear more about the whole Britney thing, they're even more desperate to find out the status of their favorite boy band. Since 'NSYNC broke box-office records on their Pop Odyssey Tour, the guys have kinda dispersed. If Justified blows up, Timberlake plans to spend a good amount of time on the road, and he might go back into the studio before then to work on more solo material. But anxious, heavy-hearted 'NSYNC obsessives can start breathing again.
"By no means are we going to break up," Timberlake said, sounding a touch annoyed. "I think that's ridiculous that you should fathom that we should split up for good. I initially felt an uneasiness about being on my own, because I didn't want the guys to think I wanted to leave the group. Those guys are my friends and we'll always be together."
But while Timberlake insists the 'NSYNC machine is still churning, when it starts creating more widgets is anyone's guess.
"When we make another record is up to when we are ready to get back into the studio," he said, stating the obvious. "But I think it's good, what everybody is doing. Seeing Joey [Fatone] revive Broadway is incredible. And Lance [Bass] may still be going to space. That's ambitious, and as much as people think it's hilarious, what if he actually goes? [If I was him] I'd be flying back from the moon giving everyone the finger."
Without his bandmates standing beside him, Timberlake feels a little naked. He's confident that the beats, rhythms and emotions on Justified are off the hook, yet he can't help but wonder whether the rest of the world will agree.
"I kind of feel like everybody has their magnifying glasses out and they're all looking for the pimples now," he said. "Before, [if something wasn't good], I could have obviously just blamed it on Chris [Kirkpatrick]." Timberlake laughed briefly, then flashed his multimillion-dollar smile. "I could have said, 'Yeah, I was in the car, but I wasn't driving.' But now I'm not in the car, I'm on a motorcycle and I'm all by myself."
When he was done speaking about Justified, Timberlake graciously thanked everyone in the studio, looking a bit like a politician trying to win the public's favor on the eve of election day. He started heading for the door, then turned around abruptly. "You wanna know the answer to the riddle now?" he asked, a glint in his eye.
As Timberlake repeated the riddle — the one about the guy who rides the elevator all the way down when he leaves his building, but pushes "15" and walks up 30 floors when he gets home — everyone raptly awaited a response, figuring it might in some way provide some sort of cryptic insight about Timberlake's eventful year,
"He's a midget," Justin revealed to a round of polite laughter. "He can't reach the button for the 45th floor."
Luckily for fans, Justified is far more exciting and revelatory.
