What a sport!

Justin Timberlake has signed on to host ESPN's annual ESPY Awards.

The show — which honors the year's best and funniest moments in sports — will take place at L.A.'s Nokia Theatre on July 20, the network announced Wednesday.

"I'll do my best to deliver a great show, as I do not want to be roughed up backstage by these athletes who are bigger, faster and stronger than me," Timberlake – who just turned 27 — joked.

The show won't be the only place to spot the singer this summer. He stars opposite Mike Myers in the comedy The Love Guru (out June 20).

I seriously doubt that profile on that celeb dating site was really created by him. And I also doubt that he is in love with Britney still. She's screwed up her life pretty bad, and he's doing great. Haters just jealous!

handsome,dosen't he ? But I think he's very alone. Someone saw his profile with some photos on myinterracialmatch. c o m , where celebrities and wealthy singles hook up. He feels lonely, doesn't he?

He still loves Britney. Thats why he can't stop making snide remarks about her. Grow up Justin. Your just showing us you still care for Britney. She never speaks of you!

I agree totally!!!!

Let's see if Justin can get through just one public occasion or awards show where he doesn't take a shot at Britney.

Besides, why is he hosting shows? Has his music and movie career fizzled?
Let's hope so!

JT has been arrogant, but I hope he has fun at the ESPY awards on July 20th, and I hope somebody does beat him up, and why in the world is Jessica Biel dating him?

I used to love JT so much...but since becoming a solo artist and doing so well, he has become beyond conceited!

Can't stand him! I love Jessica Biel..wish she wasn't dating such an azz.

An athlete with a soft spot for Britney? Mmmkay....

Great....another opportunity for him to make snide, rude comments about Britney Spears. I hope one of those athletes has a soft spot for Britney and knocks JT around a little bit for the comments he made during the Madonna induction. He's such a jerk.
