Justin Timberlake has been talking about his up coming tour with Christina Aguilera (you might remember Justin was being tight lipped about the tour at the American Music Awards – a pointless exercise because Aguilera went round telling everyone everything about the planned gigs!). He told MTV earlier this week:
"It was an idea that both of our managers concocted. When it came to me I said, 'It sounds really interesting. It would be fun to be on tour with somebody who's that talented'. She's got one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard. She can release a song like 'Dirrty' and get everybody talking, and then release a song like 'Beautiful' and say, 'Look, this is why I am standing here.' She's bad. That's the Christina that I met on the TV show that we did [like many US popsters both appeared on the Mickey Mouse Club'] and that's the Christina that will be around 10 years from now."
Timberlake went on to discuss media speculation that the video for his new single ‘Cry Me A River’ was a little autobiographical - he sees his Britney lookalike girlfriend run off with another man (so he breaks into to her house and puts a video of him kissing another girl on her telly, at least, I think that’s what happens, it was all bit confusing).
He reckons the video is a commentary on the way the media has portrayed his love life: "When you become a product of the media's rumor mill you kinda get this 'thing' about you. It was a chance for me to use it and do a little reversing. To go, 'Now I've got all of you in the palm of my hand.' Regardless of what you do, rumors are gonna be around. I'm sure when Eminem goes to do an interview they still wanna ask him about Kim and his mom. And I'm sure he don't wanna talk about it just like I don't wanna talk about all this bullshit either. But it's just part of what we do. Unfortunately it's entertaining for people. They want to know about what you do when they don't see you."
