If there's one thing I don't understand about life, it's Justin Timberlake and why he's gained such credibility. The guy is a stone-cold nerd. He doesn't treat women well. His singing career is lukewarm. He definitely can't act. He scores waaay hotter chicks than he deserves and then acts like he's better than them. Of course, it is Hollywood and rumor has it that it's a man's world. Is that enough to let a mediocre asshole rise to the top? Apparently it is - Timberlake has snagged another movie role. At least there's a twist to keep me interested - his rumored costar is none other than ex-girlfriend, Cameron Diaz. Details, via Bri's Cheese & Sleaze: And for those who roll their eyes at JT's previous failed attempts in acting (such as The Love Guru, Alpha Dog, and The Open Road)... Just know his role is the male lead, not just some random cameo. Yeah it's gonna be bad.
The plot revolves around a 7th grade teacher (Diaz) who is a foul-mouthed gold-digger. After she is dumped by her boyfriend, she goes after a substitute teacher (Timberlake) who also happens to be the heir to a watch fortune. However, he's already dating a colleague. Oooo scandalous...
The only savior of this movie might be Jason Segel (of I Love You Man, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, How I Met Your Mother) who has been cast in the supporting role of GYM TEACHER. Filming starts this month in LA. Yes. Get it over with.
The only "JT to star in a movie with his ex" headline I could approve of is if it were in Crossroads II with Britney Spears. I wish!]
Total agreement on this end! For the record - yes, Jessica is a jealous gal. And, more importantly, the tables have turned. Years ago it was Cam who threw the hissy-fit over Jess, completely humiliating herself in the process. However, the years have been kind to Diaz. She's recovered her composure, sparkle and star status. Meanwhile, Jessica has been put through the ringer by Justin. I'm sure Jess thought she'd be married by now. She's most decidedly not. Instead she's suffered through year's of indecision - the on/off, push/pull, you're bugging me/come back from a man that no woman should even bother fighting for in the first place. So, though it should be Justin who's ashamed of himself, it'll instead be a bedraggled, beaten-down Biel who will be dragging herself to the set in order to keep an eye on her man. And it will be a blonde, vivacious, confident Diaz who will be ready to put her best foot forward. Of course Cam will make a play for JT! What would feel better than to be vindicated from the past? Justin will stand in the middle - an undeserving schmuck with two hotties to choose from, acting as if he deserves every second. The movie will still suck.
