AskMen.com's Justin Timberlake Interview - 9/2/10

AskMen.com, 9/2/10 --

He's not just blessed with being a handsome, musical mastermind. Justin Timberlake is the kind of rare guy men enjoy glugging beers with, women dream of introducing to their grandmother and professionals clamor to work beside. 

One of the latest collaborations the star has made is with French brand, Givenchy, to come up with Play, a fresh fragrance with a nuance of that hip and smooth Timberlake attitude.  Venturing into perfumes is a likely progression for someone who has already dabbled in film, TV and fashion.

Despite the time difference, his endless list of appointments and the searing temperature in Dubai, the "SexyBack" singer took time out with AskMen's Tarek Hijazi for what seemed like a chat with an old friend. Laid-back, genuine, insightful, and to our -- and a lot of people's -- surprise, 6-foot-1 Timberlake elaborates about the connection he feels with the modern scent, why he admires doctors so much and how jet lag and fame come hand-in-hand.

Q1: AskMen.com : Tell us about your experience with Givenchy?
Justin Timberlake :
When we first started on this partnership, it wasn't for the women's fragrance, it was for the men's fragrance, obviously, and that's been out for a while. I think it was just sort of a natural progression for them to move to the women's fragrance as well. I had a little more of creative input on the men's fragrance than I did on the women's. I told them I did not want to have anything to do with the women's fragrance because I didn't even know what to do (laughs).

On the men's side, they sent ideas my way to see how I responded to them, and I responded well to everything that they were making. I thought it was really cool, and non-traditional. We collaborated on the scent, the bottle and on everything else. It was a full collaboration, and it was a lot of fun.

Q2: AM : What is it about Play that makes it so unique?
JT :
I give credit to Givenchy because they were trying to turn the perfume industry on its head and I think they did a good job of it. It doesn't look like a huge teardrop bottle. I think a lot of perfumes and cologne are sold to men and women in a very whimsical way, and Givenchy wanted to do something modern and sleek, and I think they accomplished it. The bottle looks like an MP3 player and so the name was really just a play on words.

Q3: AM : They say "Play for Her" is tailor-made for the female alter ego of the daring "Play man," which is you. In just a few words, how would you define a female alter ego of yourself?
JT :
Modern, sleek, bold, playful, fresh, and not too serious.

'The Social Network' Makes Its Way On To Facebook - 9/1/10

Forbes, 8/31/10 --

Last month, I reported that Sony had turned to Twitter to advertise its new movie The Social Network. That's because Facebook wouldn't let Sony use its site to advertise. The film is based on the book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal.

"A Sony spokesperson told All Things Digital that Facebook doesn't allow ads that reference the company unless Facebook is cooperating. Facebook is not cooperating on the movie …"

The Social Network, which opens October 1, is one the studio's big fall movies. Not advertising on Facebook would seem to cut off a big advertising platform for Sony.

But the studio has found a stealthy way of getting the film on Facebook anyway. Yesterday Sony launched the official movie web site. The front page of the site offers one social media option: to "like" the movie on Facebook. (There are more sharing options once you go inside the site.)

So far 28,000 people have clicked on the option which makes a note appear on a user's feed  saying so-and-so "recommends the movie The Social Network on 500millionfriends.com." The link takes users to the new movie website which includes photos and videos from the film.

This might turn out to be an even more useful (and cheaper) form of advertising for Sony. Many Facebook users are wary of the ads that pop up alongside their news feeds. But they trust their "friends" to recommend stuff that they might actually like.

 

 

Transcontinental shift: Hollywood is all aboard Union Station - 9/1/10

The Los Angeles Times, 8/31/10 --

It's a sweeping romantic moment set against the grandeur of New York's Grand Central Terminal, venue to countless poignant moments of tearful farewells.

A forlorn young woman, suitcase in hand, buys her train ticket from the kiosk when her lover appears from out of the shadows to present her with a bouquet of flowers. The couple embrace and leave together on a horse and buggy waiting outside the station. Cut.

The scene, from the Justin Timberlake romantic comedy "
Friends With Benefits," is supposed to unfold in New York's renowned example of Beaux-Arts architecture. But the scene will in fact be filmed this week in downtown Los Angeles at Union Station, just the latest in a long line of movies, TV shows and commercials that have showcased the Mission-and-Modern-style station.

"It's an homage to all the great films that have shot at Union Station,'' said Glenn Gainor, head of physical production at Sony Pictures Entertainment film unit Screen Gems, which is producing the movie, a bicoastal production shot in both New York and L.A.

The movie started filming in L.A. earlier this month and highlights many of the City of Angels' landmarks, including the Hollywood sign, the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, Grauman's Chinese Theatre – and Union Station.

"Union Station is one of the more beautiful locations in L.A, from its Art Deco 1930s tiles to its vacant ticket station, " Gainor said. "It has superior architecture and was built at a time [1939] when people really sweated the details. It's always on my radar."

In "Friends With Benefits," the Union Station scene unfolds as a movie within a movie. Justin Timberlake's character is watching a romantic comedy on TV with his girlfriend, played by Mila Kunis. Timberlake's character notices palm trees in the background, and remarks that the station is in fact in L.A., not New York.

The line is partly an inside joke about how Hollywood often disguises L.A. for other locations, and partly a tribute to one of L.A.'s signature locations, said Doug Dresser, the film's location manager.

"It's one of the timeless treasures of L.A.," he said.

Justin Timberlake Considered for Quentin Tarantino Movie - 8/31/10

Showbiz Spy, 8/31/10 --

DIRECTOR Quentin Tarantino wants Justin Timberlake to star in one of his movies!

Insiders say the Pulp Fiction filmmaker is considering the SexyBack hitmaker for a new violent epic based around a trainee hitman.

"It's a kind of dark comedy, very much in the Tarrantino style," reports a Hollywood mole.

"Justin is a new raw talent when it comes to acting but Quentin feels he could be ideal for the lead role. He's excited about taking a teen heartthrob and turning him into a cold-blooded killer."

Timberlake recently admitted he's "insecure" about his talent.

"I think I'm equally insecure about both of them," he said. "I've been doing this for two thirds of my life and I still consider myself pretty young but I think that's the part you battle with all the time.

"When you're creating your art, that's the best part. Your senses are on a creative high and then the part where everyone gets to see it and comment on it, that's the part I think you battle with until you die.

"It's absolutely terrifying."

Justin Timberlake, PSF transform music room at Angono art school - 8/31/10

Manila Bulletin, 8/31/10 --

With help from Justin Timberlake and his friends, the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) recently completed a major overhaul of the Angono Regional Pilot School for the Arts (ARPSA) music room in Angono, Rizal.

The P1-million project was made possible by the recent "Changing Lives" benefit concert organized by concert producer Francis Lumen, Smart Infinity and PSF featuring international artists Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Jojo.

The newly-renovated and refurbished music room was repainted, rebuilt with a stage for performances, and given new recording equipment and an air-conditioning system with the help of the Philippine Constructors Association and Architect Carla Suiza.

The PSF also donated instruments including violins, a cello, a double bass, an electronic piano, and a complete sound system.

"The music room fulfilled our promise to Justin Timberlake that we help budding musicians and artists affected by Ondoy and Pepeng. We want ARPSA to be a center for the arts," said PSF president Butch Meily.

"Timberlake wanted to help kids with their music programs and musical instruments since music is close to his heart. Smart Customer Care identified the beneficiary," added Meily.

A pioneering arts school, ARPSA is government-run high school dedicated to developing students through a curriculum that emphasizes performing, musical and visual arts.

Last year, the school was devastated by super typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng, which damaged parts of buildings, destroyed books and instruments, and even caused the death of one student in a landslide.

The music room's unveiling, hosted by ARPSA principal Amihan Reynes-Fenis, featured performances by ARPSA's dance troupe, chorale, and orchestra.

Looking beyond the glamour to the real-life implications at stake, the show will also focus on individuals working in all parts of the industry for whom the vibrancy of the fashion business is a question of economic survival - from Wintour's initial meetings in Paris with her international editors to discuss plans for this year's event to interviews with sales managers at the Gap about how Fashion's Night Out benefits the retail industry.

Megastar Concert Pairings - 8/31/10

MTV, 8/31/10 --

When Jay-Z and Eminem take the stage in Detroit at Comerica Park on Thursday and Friday and again in New York at Yankee Stadium on September 13 and 14, it be a meeting of two of the biggest names in rap, who between them have sold more than 120 million albums.

But their pairing is just the latest mega-coupling in the history of tours that promised to bring together the best of both worlds (sorry, Jay and R. Kelly, we tried not to bring that one up). Among our favorites:

Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera
The Justified/Stripped Tour may go down as the last hurrah of the teen-pop era. The 2003 joint tour between the former 'NSYNC legend and the pop diva was a high-tech, big-budget extravaganza that found both singers at the peak of their powers.

Timberlake-Justin.com, 8/30/10 --

Madam Lefigaro did an interesting interview with Justin, during one of the filming sessions of Friends With Benefits. It's a very nice read. You get to learn lots of stuff about him, so check it out:

When were you happiest?
I don't remember specifically. However, when I'm in the nature, on a golf course or in the mountains on my snowboard, I feel immediately at home.

Your main character trait?
It's a tough question you are asking me. Say, whimsical. I have my ups and downs, like everyone else.

The one you are least proud of?
Maniac.

The number 1 song in your playlist?
Imagine, John Lennon, and the Gregorian repertoire, Hallelujah is one of the most fabulous pieces.

What do you do to combat stress?
I play golf. I take my clubs and I get alone for five hours.

Your favorite drink?
Burgundy. I'm not sharp enough to give you the name of a vineyard, but a good glass of burgundy with friends, there is nothing better for a good evening.

Thanks misterjustintimberlake for finding the interview =)

Stars, Not Also-Rans - 8/30/10

The New York Times, 8/25/10 --

In a recent "Theater Talkback" on the ArtsBeat blog, Charles Isherwood, a theater critic for The New York Times, asked readers to recall their favorite replacement performers in Broadway shows. Here is an edited selection of their responses:

The No. 1 replacement actor for me, and the one that gets me "are you nuts?" looks from people who never saw him on the Broadway stage is (please don't laugh) Joey Fatone in "Rent." Not calling him a better actor from a talent perspective, no suggestion of anything that extreme — but just so right for the role IMHO that the relationships snapped together for me, exceeding previous viewing and spoiling me for later viewings.

Justin Timberlake filming 'Friends with Benefits' – Aug 27 - 8/29/10

Timberlake-Justin.com, 8/28/10 --

Added pictures of Justin Timberlake shooting a scene with Emma Stone for his latest movie 'Friends With Benefits' in Los Angeles, CA.

Click here to see the pictures

Also according to Wikipedia here is a short description of the movie:

The story centers around two professionals that meet that are too busy to find a mate. They agree to have an intimate relationship with no strings attached. Things get complicated when the guy falls for the girl, who's dating someone else. The script was written by Keith Merryman and David Newman, but Gluck is expected to do a polish of the script.

Director Will Gluck discussed the plot and his approach to dealing with a storyline with similar themes to previous films by stating: "Every romantic comedy over the last twenty years is about the same thing, right? The two characters in this movie played by Justin and Mila are in this generation like you and me where they've grown up on romantic comedies. They comment about these romantic comedies throughout the movie, and as they go through their storyline, they realize that they're in a romantic comedy story — as two regular people who aren't in a movie would comment on. They're very cognizant that they're in this story and they're like, 'Oh, we know how this is gonna end,' and they think they're gonna be different, but they end up embracing the fact that they're going through a romantic comedy moment."

Thanks Gkay for the heads up =)

Justin Timberlake to attend New Yorker Festival - 8/27/10

The Los Angeles Times, 8/26/10 --

It wouldn't really be the New Yorker Festival without a little Malcolm Gladwell, would it? Today the New Yorker announced the lineup for its October festival of culture, arts and the written word.

Who's taking part? A lot of the usual suspects, regular and high-profile contributors to the magazine: Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Orlean, Alex Ross and Atul Gawande. Editor David Remnick has dibs on the most-likely-to-be-fun panel, "Live From New York," with Seth Meyers and other staff from "Saturday Night Live."

Those are some of the writers -- but there are also the people they write about. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma; actors Alec Baldwin, Patricia Clarkson and Steve Carell; economist Paul Krugman; fashion designer Maria Cornejo; and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin with "The Social Network" stars Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake.

For the complete roster of events, see the New Yorker Festival website.
