Justin Timberlake to Produce Reality Show
Friday May 9, 2008
 Lester Cohen/WireImage.com Justin Timberlake: singer, actor and now — executive producer! The “SexyBack” crooner is helming a reality series for MTV billed as a "real life Bourne Identity” called The Phone, the network announced Friday. Each episode beings with two hidden cell phones ringing on opposite ends of a major city. Once picked up, a "mysterious guide gives contestants five seconds to concede whether or not they wish to play the game for a chance of winning a huge cash prize," MTV said in a statement. Afterwards, the players work against each other on various missions while keeping in touch with the guide via cell phone, and being followed by a helicopter hovering above. The show, which is based off a Dutch series of the same name, is slated to premiere this fall. Look back on Justin through the years here. Tell Us: Will you watch Justin's show?

Very interesting story about this Martin Luther King, Jr. statue, which doesn't look confrontational at all! It looks very appropriate! It was on AOL news, etc.

"12:44 PM Anonymous Says: Justin Timberlake is extremely talented and hot. That having been said, it is interesting that he is choosing to produce an MTV reality show, given the borderline tantrum he threw at the VMAs about MTV not having enough music and giving all of its airtime to reality tv. Now, he's just adding to the "reality tv traffic congestion". I also have issues with how he dealt with the Janet Jackson Superbowl incident. He got himself out of dodge and let her take all of the blame and fallout, even though he was part of that situation. Afterall, her boob didn't expose itself." I agree with all of that except the "hot" part...I don't find him attractive at all. The show sounds like an interesting one, what a shame he is hosting it, as I'd be much more likely to watch if it had a more interesting/likeable host. Telling the world about taking Brit's virginity is disgusting, as was his abandonment of Janet Jackson...I think Justin has some bad karma coming his way soon.

Justin's show sounds like fun! Maybe if I can remember, I'll watch it? Didn't he already say he was producing another show, etc.? Also, I apologize to Jennifer Aniston for any nice things I said about her ex-husband Brad Pitt & Brad Pitt's girlfriend-domestic partner, Angelina Jolie, forgive me for my mistake, etc.?

Justin is not a sell out. He is a very accomplished man that gets his hands into everything. He is very successful because he is willing to take risks and those risks pay off in the end. Also, he is the most talented singer/dance. He is talented in everything that he does. The only thing that I don't agree with is him dating Jessica Biel. She is to manly for him. Now that Britney is finally 'back with us' he needs to go back to her!!!!!
