Allegedly, Timberlake chastised journalists by enforcing security precautions around his interview to be so tight that many may have thought they were trying to get Osama bin Laden to go on the record!

“Timberlake's handlers reportedly demanded that journalists sign crazy ass confidentiality agreements before being granted an interview with Timberlame,” reported celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

“The contract demanded, among other things, that the journalist not mention anything personal or private, destroy all materials not approved in advance, and make freelancers personally liable for anything they might write that broke the rules,” reported another online journalist.

It sounds to Savvy that instead of Timberlake using his last four minutes to save the world, he instead used his star status for the good of, well, totalitarianism. Since when did being a star give you the right to break a basic amendment of civil liberties? Freedom of speech? Anyone? Anyone?

The former mouseketeer was also reported as “acting all Tom Cruise-y” by another publication whose journalists attended a press junket for his new flick.  Surely not - Cruise is the next best thing since wacko Jacko in weird behaviour, which Timberlame seems way to uptight to pull off.

Timberlame did not reprise the famous actions of Cruise character Jerry Maguire. Timberlame did not jump up during the Press Conference holding a gold fish in a plastic bag to scream, “Who is coming with me?”

Nor did he reprise another weird-tabulous Cruise moment by jumping up on a yellow couch, ranting and raving about Katie Holmes.

Even more heart wrenching was that there was no sliding across the stage in his underpants and dancing. Upon reflection, maybe the star should have taken this option. Clearly conversation is too much for him.   

No doubt the journalists were crying their own river because he was just plain, bloody dull. Timberlame decided to make it extremely difficult for anyone interviewing him to talk about anything of interest. Sadly for him this also includes his acting.
