"Terry [voiced by Jason Sudeikis] falls in love with a guy voiced by Justin," show creator Rich Appel told Us Weekly during Comic-Con in San Diego. "Justin is just hysterical!"

    kelly you think everything will magically be better because they struck down prop 8? The judge is openly gay, so it is not a fair call because he is clearly biased. Our comments are just as important as your own, or do you not actually support 'equal rights'???? don't be a hypocrite, if that's what you are trying to stand for.

    Y'all are so mean and after prop 8 was overturned you all still act like this, if that's all you had to say, why waste time commenting on it? Grow up!! I think he will make this funny, he is comedian genius on SNL so I am sure he'll do fine.

    Gee, THAT will be a stretch! LOL

    Crystle too true. I agree with you, and why should I be forced to 'accept' the gay lifestyle? If I don't agree with it then I have every right not to, but above all that, it is seriously time for this world to stop confusing right with wrong. I don't care if it's the 21st century blah blah blah.

    Crystle, if your closet is too full, you can always crawl back under your rock.

    I think everyone should stay in the closet including Christian singer Jennifer Knapp Lance Bass and Clay Aiken if they were Christians they would not be living this gross lifestyle

  • August 06, 2010 - 3:52pm Crystle

    That is just plain Gross and sick

  • August 06, 2010 - 1:01pm These people are SICK!

    Why am I NOT surprised....

    Not much of a stretch ---he's already gay so.......he and Ryan Seacrest should go out!

    Thought he was gay... Heard he spent alot of time on Fire Island last summer.

    Thank God! There hasn't been some gay reference on TV now for about 32 seconds. Actually, I am starting to think there might be...call me crazy, a small amount of gay people in Hollywood. I know, it's crazy talk I tell you, but it just seems it comes out (pardon the pun) a little often...as in the above mentioned every 32 seconds.

    SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • August 06, 2010 - 9:10am Renee

    I'm sure it won't be much of a stretch for him....he sure does look GAY!!!!!

  • August 06, 2010 - 8:52am wtf!

    @hehe-LOL! IKR!

  • August 06, 2010 - 8:50am pnazty

    He's going to 'play' gay? Oh boy! Perez Hilton is going to have a field day with this!

  • August 06, 2010 - 8:49am Marlin

    Play Gay????? I thought all boy banders were gay ... See Aaron Carter

  • August 06, 2010 - 8:14am ME

    He should be good, he looks gay anyway

  • August 06, 2010 - 7:34am Jon

    That's great to hear, best of luck to JT on his new role!

  • August 06, 2010 - 4:39am anita

    I bet he will not have to act that much just be himself. Although i never thought he tries to play his characters, he always looks like himself. And if he tries to act something he isn't than it looks pretty hurtful for him! He looks like a hurtful little girl. Not that i going to watch anything what he does anymore. There so many talented people and good stuff my money is worth to spend for!

    Justin Timberlake IS GAY. So it will be pretty easy for him to play someone gay. Jessica is his BEARD!
