Justin's hanky-panky must end!

Tagged: ,

144815__justin_lDear Justin Timberlake,

I’m going to be quick and to-the-point about this: Lose the mankerchief. I don’t care if you’re wearing it like a bank robber from Ye Olde West, or a luxury-yacht owner from Boca Raton, it’s got to stop. Seriously. The only person who can successfully rock a mankerchief is George Hamilton, and that’s because he’s nearly 70, and is deeply tanned. So unless you’re secretly trying to win a spot on Season 4 of Dancing With the Stars (where you and Usher will stage an epic battle that’ll make Lopez-Lawrence look like a grade-school talent show), keep those unsavory squares of cloth in your pocket. Unless you feel a really big sneeze coming on. Thank you. (And thanks to Dlisted for the heads up.)

    Dude, i think this is supposed to be a lazy recreation of Andy Warhol’s repeating screenprint of Elvis in full cowboy get-up.. There ain’t nothing wrong with a mankerchief, ok?! But i think it has to be in the right or left back pocket.. knowing Justin, his would be in the right one! (heheh..)

    Total Madonna wanna-be!
    Madge inspired the cowboy-esqu theme with her Music album back in 2000. This time around she’s sporting the 70′s look via Valerie Cherish.
    Justin, your look is confusing, the urban/cowboy/homoerotic/whatever else your throwing in the mix, just isn’t working.
    And what’s up with smashing the disco ball, clearly trying to upstage Madge’s CD covered disco ball.

    I ignore JT. That way, maybe he’ll go away…for good.

  • Stephanie Travitsky

    Is Justin paying tribute to Randy the Cowboy from the Village People? I think someone needs to tell Justin that he just went from “Can’t stop the music” to “Please Stop his music”!

    Dear Michael Slezak,
    Can you Pop-Watch columnists stop writing “Dear ” items.
    It’s getting cliched and tedious.
    Thanks.

    I like the “dear items”. It’s EW’s way of trying to help certain celebrities from making the wrong choice. When celebrities stop making bad choices, EW will stop writing those columns. So I guess that will be a long time from now….

    Justin Timberlake

    Can Justin Timberlake look or sound any gayer? Not that I have a problem with it, just wondering why he’s moving in that direction.

    For those of us who have problems with overheating computers, these Cool Feet may be just the ticket. I’m not sure why computer makers still haven’s gotten a clue yet.

    Dear People,
    Stop busting on Michael. He’s just trying to tell Justin he is not Kanye (who really can sport the mankerchief to great effect)…

  • Ryan

    I just wish 6 months would come and go and he can release 4 singles off his so called album and than just go away.

  • newbie
