Joelle’s Top Five: Break Up Songs

Posted by Joelle Tomlinson on May 22nd, 2009

Erma FranklinIf record-store people were smart, they would file breakup music in a separate section. Because even though breakup songs cross almost every genre, it’s a very distinct kind of music. We’ve chosen five Breakup Music Hall of Fame first-ballot inductees to accompany this article, and none of them is simply a love song. They’re all about getting dumped and getting even. In the best breakup music, the song is actually an instrument of vengeance.

5. ¨Cry Me A River¨ – Justin Timberlake (2002)

Classic breakup line: “Girl I refuse, you must have me confused/ with some other guy/ Your bridges were burned, and now it’s your turn to cry.”

The fact that Justin Timberlake wrote this for Britney Spears makes it legendary in its own right. This bittersweet song captured the heart of thousands of fans, and was a staple item in the beginning of Timberlake´s career. Bet he´s glad everything worked out the way it did.

4. ¨Piece Of My Heart¨ – Erma Franklin (1967)

Fergie Snubs Timberlake For Diana

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 5th, 2007

THE BLACK EYED PEAS star FERGIE snubbed pal JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE to appear at Sunday’s Concert For Diana.

The singer had been due to appear with the SexyBack star at a gig in Dublin, Ireland on Sunday as part of his world tour, but pulled out to appear at the tribute concert at London’s Wembley Stadium – with rapper 50 Cent called in as her last-minute replacement.

And the star – real name Stacey Ferguson – admits she’s indebted to the In Da Club hitmaker.

She says, “I guess I owe 50 a favour.”

Ferguson paid tribute to the late princess and her sons, Princes William and Harry, who organised the all-day extravaganza, saying, “They seem like pretty normal guys who put on the manners when they’re supposed to.”

Timberlake Cancels Irish Gig

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 5th, 2007

Pop superstar JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has disappointed fans by pulling out of an intimate concert on the Irish leg of his world tour, blaming “technical difficulties” for the cancellation.

The SexyBack hitmaker planned to perform two shows in one night in Dublin, Ireland, but was forced to axe one of the gigs on Saturday, reports Irish music magazine Hot Press.

Timberlake apologized to fans who had already paid for tickets to the intimate performance at nightclub Vicar Street, and offered them a chance to attend a show in the city’s RDS arena on Sunday as his personal guests.

He says, “I love being in Ireland – the audiences are always something else and I’m so disappointed we can’t make the Club Show happen this time. I hope to make it up to you guys next time.”

The 26-year-old, who has collaborated with stars including Duran Duran and Timbaland, wants to lend his talents to a wide variety of genres, from country to hip-hop.

Timberlake Insists On Bottom Edit

Posted by andPOP Staff on April 8th, 2007

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE begged the director of his new movie BLACK SNAKE MOAN to edit out a shot of his naked bottom.

The singer loved shooting steamy scenes with co-star CHRISTINA RICCI, but admits he doesn’t want millions of movie-goers to see his bare derriere.

Timberlake says, “The sex scene was pretty hot. I’m not going to say it doesn’t feel weird pretending to f**k someone in front of a man with a sound boom, though.

“One of the first conversations I had with the director was about nudity. In the first cut you could see my ass but I had a word and that’s now out.”

Timberlake Slimes Up A Storm At The Kids Choice Awards

Posted by andPOP Staff on April 3rd, 2007

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE made sure Saturday’s Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards were a messy affair when he became one of many celebrities to get ‘slimed’ at the Los Angeles prize giving.

The pop superstar hosted the awards, and although he boasted he was too famous to get slimed in his opening song, the SEXYBACK star was covered in the event’s famous green goo twice.

MANDY MOORE, RUSH HOUR stars CHRIS TUCKER and JACKIE CHAN, SPIDER-MAN TOBEY MAGUIRE and STEVE CARELL were among the other stars to get messed up at the show, while Timberlake and VINCE VAUGHN ended the show with a slime fest – both got hit with the green stuff and then turned the goo on the audience, hosing down kids and their parents.

Timberlake was also a big winner on the night, claiming the Best Male Singer prize. In receiving his award from late CROCODILE HUNTER star STEVE IRWIN’s daughter BINDI, the singer heaped praise on the thrilled Aussie, stating, “This young lady will change the world.”

But he was also a big loser – he gave up his 2006 Celebrity Burp Champion of The World belt to the 20,000-strong Kids Choice Awards audience, who belched louder and longer than he did.

Among the night’s other big winners, BEYONCE KNOWLES took home the Best Female Singer prize and the Best Song honour for IRREPLACEABLE, ADAM SANDLER and DAKOTA FANNING claimed the event’s Best Movie Actor and Actress awards, and SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS picked up the Favourite Cartoon prize for the fifth successive year.

The winners were:
Favourite Movie Actress – DAKOTA FANNING

Timberlake Regrets Grammy Awards Talent Showcase

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 23rd, 2007

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE regrets his Grammy Awards performance with a rejected AMERICAN IDOL singer, insisting event organisers took advantage of his “nice guy” attitude.

The SEXYBACK singer performed a medley of tunes with ROBYN TROUP, who won a TV contest called My Grammy Moment to land the chance to perform with Timberlake on music’s biggest stage last month.

Timberlake tells men’s magazine Details he considered pulling out of the performance, but feared he’d left it too late.

So, even with a heavy cold that prompted him to withdraw from a pre-Grammy party performance, he agreed to go through with what he felt was a bad idea.

He says, “I’m the nice guy who follows through on the things he commits to. But I don’t know if I’ll be going through that sort of thing again.

“I feel like the Grammys used me for ratings.”

Bar Owner In Dispute Over Timberlake Appearance

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 28th, 2007

A bar owner in Illinois is fighting with JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE’s lawyers over a pricey autograph-signing appearance he has scheduled for the star.

Sharky’s Billiards owner JOE PIAGENTINI claims a promoter assured him the MY LOVE singer would be appearing at the bar on March 13 after he paid him a $25,000 fee.

Timberlake is performing in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont and is supposedly scheduled to attend the autograph-signing session after his gig.

But one of the star’s Los Angeles-based lawyers, GARY STIFFELMAN, insists the singer is not going to show because he hasn’t discussed the appearance with anyone or even heard of Piagentini.

Meanwhile, Piagentini insists the appearance is still a “go,” although he hasn’t sold any tickets yet.

According to Fox News, the tickets are being advertised on websites for $100 each.

Timberlake And Diaz Reunite?

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 20th, 2007

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and CAMERON DIAZ have sparked reports they are reconciling after leaving a West Hollywood club together on Friday night.

The couple called it quits last month after nearly four years together but reunited briefly at the Whiskey Bar in the Sunset Marquis Hotel. An eyewitness tells American publication People that Timberlake had joined director MARTIN SCORSESE and about eight other people at a table inside the hotel’s exclusive bar.

The MY LOVE singer chatted briefly with Scorsese, who directed Diaz in GANGS OF NEW YORK, and others at the table until 1am, when Diaz arrived.

The source says, “Cameron never joined their table. She just showed up and Justin got up and started talking to her. They were being very discreet.

“They weren’t kissing or holding hands or anything, but they were being very friendly.”

The couple then walked out the front door together half-an-hour later.

Timberlake has recently been romantically linked with SCARLETT JOHANSSON and JESSICA BIEL, while Diaz was spotted getting cozy with BLOOD DIAMOND star DJIMON HOUNSOU on Thursday (15FEB07) night at Hollywood hotspot Hyde.

Stolen Timberlake CDs Sold By Record Company Employee

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 19th, 2007

An assistant at JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE’s record company has been busted for selling $20,000 worth of the star’s stolen CDs on auction website eBay.

An executive assistant at Jive Records was selling the highly anticipated FUTURESEX/LOVESOUNDS CD before its release date by having interns at Jive send the discs from the company’s mailroom.

A source tells the New York Daily News, “He was selling pre-release Justin Timberlake albums for $50 a pop. And he was using the Jive mailroom to send them out.”

The employee’s lucrative side-business was stopped after disgruntled interns objected to participating in the mass mailings and reported him to the company president.

The source adds, “They sent an e-mail to Jive president BARRY WEISS from an anonymous e-mail account (with the email screen name InternsArePeopleToo), and copied every vice president to tell them they were ‘fired up’.”

The assistant has now been sacked.

Timberlake Tells Brits: ‘Quit Drinking’

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 18th, 2007

Pop star JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE was named Best International Male Solo Artist at the Brit Awards on Wednesday night and used his acceptance speech to jokingly warn the audience about the perils of drinking.

The 26-year-old pop star took time out of his US tour to accept his prize via a video link.

He said, “Thank you very much for this. I’m very flattered. I’m actually on tour so I couldn’t be there. Everyone have a great night.

“Stop drinking! You know who you are. I’m speaking to you! You are going to get sloppy!”

The MY LOVE singer then joked about a British tabloid adding, “OK! Magazine is going to say something bad about you.”

Timberlake wasn’t able to pick up his engraved statuette in person and had to pretend he had the actual award with him during his speech saying, “I accept this mock award right now.

“And if someone doesn’t send me my real Brit in the mail, there will be hell to pay!”
