Timberlake: Foot in Mouth Disease?
I don't really get Justin Timberlake.
Just a few weeks ago, he said some supportive things about his former 'N Sync bandmate, Lance Bass, coming out of the closet. But in an interview with Fashion Rocks magazine, the 29-year-old singer and aspiring actor doesn't sound so enlightened when discussing American Idol champ Taylor Hicks:
"If he has skeletons in his closet whatsoever; if, God forbid, he's gay; and all these people in Mississippi who voted for him are like, 'Oh, my God. I voted for a queer!' It's just too much pressure."
Huh?
The magazine also quotes Timberlake as saying that Hicks "...can't carry a tune in a bucket."
Timberlake's reps were saying Friday that the performers' comments "were taken completely out of context."
