Not Safe For Work

Justin Timberlake visited the hallowed halls of Harvard Friday to humbly accept the Hasty Pudding Club’s 2010 Man Of The Year award in the gracious, dignified manner one associates with this institution of knowledge (Anne Hathaway won Woman Of The Year last month). “This is cooler than any Grammy or Emmy or anything I could have ever thought of,” he said at the event. “Thank you.” Among the accomplishments celebrated at the event was his status as a “triple threat”: “he sings, he dances, he goes straight to DVD.” And thanks to SNL, he wasn’t bothered by the boxing of his nipples. “Funny enough, every time I’ve hosted SNL I’ve ended up in drag at least once,” he said. “I love stuff like this.” Girlfriend Jessica Biel was reportedly on hand to enjoy him being the subject of public humiliation for a change. Watch JT make merry in the gallery below.

A good day for Justin Timberlake - he’s won a three-year restraining order against “mentally unstable” stalker Karen McNeil, all without having to turn up in court himself. The singer had originally been called to appear in person, but Timberlake’s lawyer’s explained that’s duh, what she wanted all along. McNeil was arrested on his property last month after turning up with a cab full of clothes and “personal items.”

She’d previously been arrested in the 1990s for stalking Axl Rose. In an affadavit, Timberlake called her an “obsessed and mentally unstable stalker” whom he “does not personally know or have any relationship with.” [Photo: WENN]

Ever since Madonna split with Guy Ritchie, the film director’s been making a lot more use of his London pub The Punchbowl. In recent months, it’s attracted celeb pals of the ilk of Justin Timberlake, Leonardo diCaprio and Mickey Rourke - as well as the attendant paparazzi. And it seems that this new found popularity is causing consternation among residents of London’s Mayfair district - one of the capital’s wealthiest and fustiest.

“The W1 residents have complained about “a severe downward spiral in quality of life.” They are aghast at the “shouting and singing” and collection of chauffeurs and paparazzi,” says a report - claiming they’ve now began a petition protesting its licence. It would be a shame if they did succeed - only because it’s one of the few non-members establishments in London where you can wander in and look at A-listers making drunken fools of themselves. And we don’t want to lose that privilege. [Photo: WENN]

Call off the hottest gossip story ever! To our eternal disappointment, it’s being claimed that not only is the Justin Timberlake/Rihanna rumored hookup not true, but that Ri is spitting nails over the allegation, and has texted Justin to make clear her annoyance. Bet Jessica Biel loves that (but of course, she’s not his girlfriend, is she Grandma?).

“Rihanna’s upset, mad and plain pissed off over it. It’s not just that it’s untrue; her reputation is at  stake here. It makes her look like some home-wrecker. And Jessica isn’t some stranger. They know each other, and she likes Jessica a lot,” says UK’s Star mag.

Anyway, our head hurts because of the amount of white gossip noise around the Bermuda triangle of these three - “TimbeRiel?” - means we’re totally confused from day to day. Surely the only way to settle this is if one of them spoke publicly to confirm or deny the breakup/hookup. But that would of course be far too simple. [Photos: WENN, WireImage]

After a successful Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week, it was time to hop over to Europe for Paris Fashion Week. We grabbed some fabulous dresses from Margi Kent and some amazing Tuleste Market jewelry and got styled by New York Girl Style for Venexiana and AZ Araujo and headed over to the City of Lights. From getting the dish on Rihanna’s love life, to seeing Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s blossoming romance, to getting moved to the front row at the Jean Paul Gaultier show, Paris Fashion Week was fantastic!

We’re sure she meant well, but Justin Timberlake’s grandmother sure picked a bad time to brag about her player of a grandson. Sadie Bomar recently gave an interview to the UK magazine Closer, revealing that there may well be something to those Tim-Biel-ake break-up rumors—like that Timberlake was never serious in the first place. “Jessica was keen to marry, but Justin isn’t ready.” Do tell, Grandma!

“As far as we’re concerned, he’s always been single,” Bomar continued. “The girlfriends come and go, but we believe nothing has ever been serious. Justin does his own thing and he isn’t ready to marry just yet.” “Come and go,” Grammy? It might be a blur to you, but he’s been with Jessica Biel for almost three years! If Timberlake is really trying to let Biel down easy, odds are he doesn’t appreciate this bird squawking about his randy ways. Sounds like one old lady might be losing her phone privileges.

With the recent headlines that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are “over,” many think that Rihanna and JT’s rumored relationship is to blame for the split. While in Paris this week taking in Fashion Week, a source close to the pop starlet dished to TheFABLife that Ri is very into the former boy-bander.

“They have been talking a lot since the VMAs. They are keeping things on the down low. She digs him,” the source exclusively tells TheFABlife.

Last week RiRi and Justin were first reported to be an item after a source claimed that the two “left together” after partying at New York hotspot 1 Oak. Now that Justin has reportedly broken up with Jessica by phone, could RiRi and Justin be about to make it public? [Photo:Splash News Online]

Us Magazine may have put a big ol’ rip between Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, but they were still holding hands on Monday in Napa Valley. The magazine says Mr. Sexyback called Miss Sexybutt to break things off “about a month ago,” with Biel left “in severe denial,” refusing to accept that Timberlake wants to move on. Wisely, another source is included in article, noting “there’s no way of knowing if it’s a firm breakup, because with them it’s so hot and cold.” So this new photo of the pair doesn’t mean their story is nonsense or anything.

After all, the pair doesn’t look that happy. Maybe Timberlake realized a phone firing was ungentlemanly and took her out for one last walk around the park before demoting her to Marisa Tomei levels of sorta-stardom. Maybe he came back and settled, realizing that none of the current CW stars have enough booty. But unless he’s caught grinding Rihanna again, Us might have tape these two back together.

Waiiiit, what is this? Are Justin Timberlake and Rihanna secretly an item?! This is news to us (and we bet it’s news to Jessica Biel), but the rumor mill is hard at work trying to prove that the pop stars are in fact dating. Today a source noted to Showbiz Spy that “Justin and Rihanna have been seeing each other for the past few weeks,” and the rag also mentions that the couple were featured in a blind item in the New York Daily News recently that read, “two pop stars made sweet music together after the gal gave the guy a private lap dance” at a New York club. One witness corroborated the story, saying, “It was at 10ak in NYC and they left together. They are seeing each other on the low!”

This would be huge - imagine what a super-couple these two would make. We’re keeping a close eye on these kids to see what happens.  [Photos: GettyImages]

Is there any business that Justin Timberlake isn’t dipping his toes in? The singer-dancer-actor-comedian-restaurateur-fashion designer was in Las Vegas earlier this week specifically to promote his William Rast clothing line, and ended up at a club to shill another endeavor, his new tequila.

After hosting a private dinner party at Lavo at the Palazzo with girlfriend Jessica Biel and business partner Trace Ayala, Timberlake entered the main room of that club and offered free shots of his 901 Silver tequila and toasted the crowd, saying “We should all believe in something, and I believe it’s time for another shot of tequila.” Everyone in the club got to sample some of the sweet Timberlake nectar that’s named for the Memphis area code he grew up in. And just in case JT is reading, we have some suggestions for drinks that can be made with his booze: What say you to The Señorita Margarita? FutureSex/Lime/Salt? Maybe? No? [Photo: Getty Images]
