Justin Timberlake: GQ Magazine

Justin Timberlake, 25, tells GQ Magazine of his infatuation with Britney Spears in their August 2006 issue: "I was in love with her from the start. I was infatuated with her from the moment I saw her… When we initially parted ways I felt like she had a couple of opportunities to just sort of stick up for me, and she didn’t. Which is fine. But at that time, you know, I fought back… I wish her well, and I want to see her win. I don’t think you can ever count somebody like her out. Because she may appear one way, but she’s very clever." On Justin’s "adult" relationship with 33-year-old Cameron Diaz: "For me, this time around it’s been important to stay, at least as much as I can, out of the limelight. And I think that’s made it more enriching. I’ve received so much more from it by keeping it just between the two people it’s supposed to be between. There’s no pretense about anything. It’s just a sort of coming together of two people." Another memorable quote from the article: "I didn’t want to be the guy who dates girls in the tabloids." Bigger scans in the gallery!
