Wow, Jessica Biel is going to go crazy if he’s playing Cameron’s love interest!

They picked JT over John Krasinski??? Please!
Justin is an excellent singer& musician, but when it comes to acting…not so much.

His acting is limited to SNL skits that work because he doesn’t have to really act in them. They could’ve had John Krasinski or Joel McHale,…I even think Bradley Cooper was circling this as well. I won’t see it, but good luck, i guess.

Are the directors/producers blind or something???
Do they not see that Justin Timberlake can’t act to save his life?!!
He should stick to what he’s good at (singing) and leave the professional actors to do their jobs instead of taking away their roles.

The obvious stupid gimmick to get anyone with monkey like intelligence is…Justin playing opposite his ex Cameron. This movie plot is 100% idiotic…but a bunch a morons will pay to see him and Cameron onscreen…after weeks of paparrazzis detailing their every move onset.

There’s a new book coming out about Britney Spears, called “Britney Spears: Little Girl Lost” (check it out on Amazon). I wonder if it will talk about Justin.

He can’t act/he can’t sing why do stupid people in hollywood give him movies to be in. Timberpussy needs to go away for ever.

Why in America singers want to be actors and actors want to be singers?
Justin is a singer why does he want to be an actor!!!
He’s not an actor, sorry…

I thought for sure he was going to play some creepy, child-molesting teacher.

i don’t even think he’s that great at singing. he has a whiny nasally tone to his voice that has always irked me. I’m sure Cameron Diez got him the role.

Justin should get back with Cameron’

she is much better for him than Biel

Great, Bad Teacher gets a bad actor.

He’s got an Emmy! That’s more than a lot of actors can say (see Rachel Bilson). Perhaps it’s a comedy – he’s funny. I doubt Cameron Diaz got him the job. She’s a beautiful and talented woman and she doesn’t need to get him jobs nor does he need her to get him work. He’s not K-Fed or Rachel Bilson!

PS – the other actors might have had scheduling problems. Bradley Cooper is a busy guy and isn’t the other guy on a TV show?

Justin Timberlake doesn’t ask for anyone permission to do a damm thing.It took George Clooney many times to get where he is today.Justin is on top of his game. That’s when the jealous ******* come out to play.

biel it’s nervous now

What’s she nervous about? Justin clearly loves Jessica and they’ve been together for a while now. Some of you need to turn off the soap operas!

I hope he marries Cameron!
