December 29, 2003 - Anonymous
writes "Justin Timberlake tells Austrailian magazine 'Dolly' in their latest
issue that his summer-tour buddy Christina Aguilera is reserved and quiet.
"Christina and I spent time together, maybe once or twice on tour," said
Justin. "We would talk about old times and whatever was on her mind. But
she's very reserved and when you're around her, she can shut down, just
like that -- total silence. I think she's very misunderstood and maybe
that's why she doesn't get the credit she deserves." He also touched the
topic of reuniting with his band mates *NSYNC for their next album. "I
want it to be just right," he said. "I don't want us all to just go in
there and rush an album for the fans. They deserve quality, so when we're
all ready to go back and record, we're gonna make sure we come up with
something memorable.""

December 29, 2003 - The People
reports that when *NSYNC star Justin Timberlake was on his UK tour earlier
this year, he was thrilled to see a Smarties Choc Idol TV ad based on him.

Bass recently admitted to People magazine, "I'm a massage whore. I think
I've been to every single massage place in Los Angeles." The quote prompted
gay gossip scribe Billy Masters of Filth2go.com to opine, "Far be it from
me to read anything into his statement, even if many 'massage parlors'
cater to gay men - particularly in Los Angeles."
December 25, 2003 - JiggaWHAT
writes "The December issue of hip hop magazine The Source has an interview
with producer Scott Storch. In it, Storch talks about how he's upset with
Justin Timberlake not giving him credit for the track 'Cry Me A River.'
An excerpt from the interview reads: "In the past, laying in the cut wasn't
a problem for this low key heat maker. But now the hungry track lacer has
grown impatient with those taking credit for his creative genius. In fact,
at the 2003 MTV VMAs he was dissed by boy band alumnus Justin Timberlake,
who publicily big upped Timbaland for his work on 'Cry Me a River', but
failed to mention Storch, the tracks co producer. 'Justin went up there
and acted like me and Timbaland didn't both equally create that song just
so that he could seem cooler and more down,' says Storch, visibly upset,
'But that's okay, he'll never get another Scott Storch track.' Storch's
irritation with the blond boy wonder is bigger than ego tripping - these
public signs of support could make the difference, helping him solidify
his status as one of music industry's elite producers. 'When you tell people
that you did something on a record, and then you don't get the public credit,
folks start to question your credibility. What else do I have to do? I've
been making music for ten years'.""

December 25, 2003 - The Enquirer
has more details on *NSYNC's former tour manager Ibrahim Duarte, who filed
a $10 million lawsuit November 25 in New York Supreme Court, saying he
was fired without warning in 2000 -- after suffering a constant barrage
of racial remarks, incidents and humiliation. Asked why he took so long
to file the suit, Duarte's attorney said, "Duarte thought long and hard
about it before coming forward because he wanted to ensure he'd be able
to get future jobs and he didn't want to be known in the business as somebody
who couldn't be trusted. In the end, he thought it was important that the
truth be told. Ibrahim lived with these guys for years and knows these
kids. It shows a side to them that a lot of people hadn't seen before.
Frankly, when these kids needed him they treated him O.K. And when they
got into positions where they could kind of flex their muscles, they just
threw him out in the street. We're looking for justice, that's all we want."

Masters of Filth2go.com hears that Justin Timberlake turned down the role
to play Elton John in a film about the singer because he wants to make
his feature-length film debut in an adaptation of the hit Broadway musical
'Rent'. Masters hears that the *NSYNC star has already done a screen test

the part of 'Mark', but had his heart set on the romantic lead. While a

have been floated his way yet.
December 25, 2003 - Jon Pareles
of The New York Times reviewed JC Chasez's concert at Irving Plaza on Friday
night. He writes, "Within *NSYNC, Mr. Chasez was the member who dared to
leer. On the group's album 'No Strings Attached' he wrote 'Digital Get
Down,' a song about videophone sex. Now he's presenting himself as the
guy who'll 'love you all night strong,' though it might just be a one-night
stand. The fans didn't mind a bit as Mr. Chasez traded *NSYNC's blandishments
for come-ons and the dancers caressed themselves or dropped to their knees
in front of Mr. Chasez." Read more.
December 25, 2003 - With
JC Chasez delivering lyrics about one-night stands, threesomes and masturbation,
the *NSYNC star was cautioned on the approach by his label at Jive. "You
know you're going to scare a few moms with this music," JC recalled an
executive at the label telling him. "But I said, 'If I want to make another
*NSYNC record, I'll make another *NSYNC record." The singer tells Neil
Strauss that he hadn't planned on a solo album, but after bandmate Justin
Timberlake's solo success, producer Dallas Austin suggested he too test
the solo route. "I said, 'J is doing his thing; I just want to chill',"
Chasez recalled. "Then Dallas sat down with me and said, 'Why aren't you
doing a record?' I said, 'I was just getting used to living again'." Read

December 25, 2003 - Joan
Anderman of the Boston Globe caught up with *NSYNC star JC Chasez ahead
of his gig at the Avalon on Saturday night. JC talked about the pressure
of trying to escape the shadow of his bandmate Justin Timberlake, which
he says doesn't exist for him. "Justin's a superstar. He's always had the
spotlight on him," Chasez said. "I don't feel that pressure. I make the
tunes, and hopefully people show up. I would love that. If they don't,
I still get to go back in the studio and hang out with my friends." Meanwhile
the article states: "There is no question that *NSYNC will record another
album. Chasez, Timberlake, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Joey Fatone
have had a series of casual conversations about creating a timeline, which
will probably see the band getting to work toward the end of 2004 -- after
Chasez's promotion for 'Schizophrenic' winds down." Read more.
December 25, 2003 - Katie
Johnston of the Boston Globe reviewed the JC Chasez concert at a sold-out
Avalon on Saturday night (December 20). Johnston says the *NSYNC star "is
already a veteran of sold-out arena shows, and he knows what sells: catchy
pop tunes, finely-tuned choreography, and plenty of costume changes." She
added, "This subdued reaction was probably due in large part to the fact
that the crowd had never heard these songs; his solo album, 'Schizophrenic',
hasn't been released. And without the energy of his *NSYNC mates and the
fanaticism of the now-defunct boy-band craze, Chasez's star, no matter
how cute or catchy, does not shine nearly as bright." Read more.

Timberlake's black former bodyguard Kenneth Hunter leapt to the *NSYNC

suggestion Justin is a racist is an outright lie. There were no racial
slurs or anything. I've always said he's the blackest white boy I know.
His characteristics, the way he dances, the way he sings, the whole soul
vibe about himself. I've never really witnessed a Caucasian person that
had those characteristics. It's also the people he hangs out with - he's
got a lot of black friends." Read more.

being used. I am the manager of *NSYNC and I am African-American. *NSYNC's
director of worldwide security is African-American, the musical director
of *NSYNC is African-American, in fact our entire security team is African-American.
*NSYNC's assistant production manager is Asian-American, and it goes on

writes "So JC Chasez's solo album 'Schizophrenic' has been pushed back
a number of times, making JC and his management look incompetent everytime
they gave August, September, October, and November release dates. So JC
said that he worked things out with Jive and was 100% positive that his
album would drop on January 27th. That's the date that was given to MTV
and the date that JC has been uttering to his fans at all of his public
appearances. Well, hold on. Now Tower Records, BMG, record stores across
the country, and Jive are all saying that JC's release date is February
10th. JC's fans apparently became aware of this before JC ever did. When
fans brought up the Feb. 10th date (along with their proof), JC was surprised;
it was clear he had no idea. So now, he is on board and saying February
10th too. Gerri, someone from his management team, is now telling JC's
fans that "There is no exact date but it will be in February." Or so she
says. Read more."

pulled in while airing at the same time."
