Justin Timberlake ‘In Awe’ Of ‘Summit On The Summit’ Climb
March 12th, 2010 | 
Author: 
Justin Timberlake was there when his pal Kenna decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. In fact, he encouraged him to do it, and is “bummed” that his schedule didn’t allow him to join his friend on the trek.
“Kenna and I, every winter, we find a place to go snowboarding, and we were up on a mountain somewhere, snowboarding,” Timberlake told MTV News. “We got onto the lift, and Kenna was talking about how, before, he had tried to climb Kilimanjaro.” And there, the idea for “Summit on the Summit” was hatched.
Unfortunately, due to work conflicts — the trek up Africa’s highest peak was rescheduled several times and ultimately collided with Timberlake’s filming for “The Social Network” — Justin didn’t actually get to make the climb with Kenna Instead, the likes of Lupe Fiasco and Santigold and actors Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas made the climb up Kilimanjaro), but he remained close to the action, getting daily updates on the trek.
“I was getting sort of a texting diary from day to day,” Timberlake recalled. “And the one thing I heard was … the hardest part was the last day, obviously, because not only were they climbing from 16,000 to 19,000 feet, but that extra 3,000 was really brutal, because of the altitude. And on top of that, I think they woke up at 2:30 in the morning and had to climb the last 3,000 feet. I heard from all of them that the last 3,000 feet, every breath counted. Every single time you could conserve oxygen, you could feel it. It really counted. … I’m in awe that they did it. I’m really impressed.”
Timberlake did record an introduction to the film that documents the climb — and highlights the global issue of clean water — called “Summit on the Summit: Kilimanjaro.” The 90-minute doc premiered Wednesday night in New York and will air Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on MTV. And just because he didn’t actually climb the mountain this time around, don’t count him out just yet.
“I was bummed that I wasn’t able to do it, because I thought it would be a cool thing to do. Maybe one day I will,” he laughed. “But it’s really an inspiring idea and an inspiring task, and I was very proud of everyone who was involved with it. … It says a lot about all the people who were involved in the climb, that they were sort of willing to put themselves out there … to have cameras on them 24/7 and to say, ‘Well, if this has any effect on anyone who’s watching it, or creates any type of awareness, and gets $10 from one person, well, that’s amazing.’ “

i agree with miss timberlake and rinush
justin wouldn’t be so stupid to think about cheating with that girl when the whole pub could see him or take a picture of him…
JUSTIN IS NOT THAT STUPID!
FOR EXAMPLE: you have a boyfriend and you love him [like us loving Justin, ] – you cant think all day about him cheating, you have to trust your boyfriend, and IF he’ll do something wrong than you can judge him… Not wait for the day he’ll cheat or whatever just to say ‘i knew it’……..
lol
but i agree on this as well
^^^
Hahahah, my example was kinda funny but it fits lol.
Another Britney fanatic whose reading material consists of all things tabloid. LOL
My last comment applies to people like Ola and Thomas.

Britney fanatics despearately want Justin to be labeled a cheater. LOL
Whatever helps you sleep better at night! LOL
^^^^LOOOOOL (…) EXACTLY!!!
RE:
Rinush: “if something like that would happen, i would’nt know what to do with myself…
But that’s thing; we should trust him ! we cant judge him befor he did something wrong.
FOR EXAMPLE: you have a boyfriend and you love him [like us loving Justin, ] – you cant think all day about him cheating, you have to trust your boyfriend, and IF he’ll do something wrong than you can judge him… Not wait for the day he’ll cheat or whatever just to say ‘i knew it’……..”
^^^^I already thought so, but now I feel better
Thomas, I’m not Brit hater. I’m not putting her in the subject to speak ill of her. Who ever does this (putting her in the subject) is you, Britfans. So, you have what you seek, and who seeks, finds. If depended only on me, I would never talk of Brit, but it’s not so
Thankx Laura
Rinush and Miss Timberlake, what makes you think Justin has not already spelled out the terms of their relationship from day one. What ever makes you think this a committed relationship. Justin is a player. Jessica knew that when she had her PR. team blab off to US magazine and People and whoever else, about how she stole Justin from Cameron Diaz. Remember that, that was after the Golden Globe awards where Justin and Cameron supposedly had their argument. Please, I don’t doubt Justin had his fun in Vegas and anywhere else he wants to have his fun. And, Jessica better keep her mouth shut about it or she will dismissed like any other piece.
Czchgirl it´s useless trying to make them understand lol These children here believe in fairytales and there is nothing you can do about it lol Would be better if they would care about their own life and if their boyfriend cheats on them in real life instead of defending someone who doesn´t give a shit about them and their opinion: that is JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE who doesn´t give a shit because he doesn´t even know that they exist He will go on cheating because everybody does it in Hollywood and he is no exception And now you can go on with the immature comments lol I don`t care! I`ve have my opinion and I will shout it out until you all can´t here it anymore! lol Because that´s REALITY you dreamers!
And I don´t know what the problem is because everybody is allowed to have their opinion I have mine and you can have yours and I don`t care if you think Justin is a saint I simply don´t care so stick with it and go on with your life lol
^Agree with you ola
FOR EXAMPLE: you have a boyfriend and you love him [like us loving Justin, ]
LOL because this is really “poor” to say lol So you love someone (Justin) “like your boyfriend” You “love” Justin hm How can you “love” someone you don´t even know hahaha You love his looks or what? Do you know him in real life? So how can you say: I love him lol Have you ever spoken a word with him in real life? Did you go out with him? NO! So again: how can you say: “I love him” hahaha You only love what you imagine him to be – you only love the illusion of him in your head That is all “I love him” hahaha THIS IS SOOOOO RIDICULOUS
But you know, stick with this so-called love too and go on with your life lol
OMG I just found out Rinush made that comment lol
^ ola you say go on with your life
but you’re the one that keeps talking about it
and you’re welcome miss timberlake
Ola you are so damn right! How can these ppl (and who says these says a lot of other ppl too, who have really small brains) love Justin Timberlake without even knowing him FOR REAL? I can (as a girl, yeah bc I am a girl) appreciate his looks and even some of his actions. I can like his songs and him as a singer, dancer and entartainer but LOVE HIM LIKE I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND (yes I have one and bc of that I´m not putting my passion on some celebrity)??? NO WAY! It´s impossible someone love a person who they don´t know.
Ppl who say they love JT, I believe they love what they imagine of him, the image their mind drawn long ago.
And yes, Justin can respect his fans (I want to believe he does) but gives a damn about what they go through or about what they want him to do with his life.
You Briney fanatics make me laugh.
Do you guys even read what your write?LOL
There must be something in the water in the Britney fandom, because you guys are collectibly the most delusional, immature, irrational fans I have seen.
You guys think only your views are right one and never consider other views. SMH
guest I haven´t mentioned Britney´s name in what I had written on my last post. You are reading too much. And delusional are you: ppl who are so in love with Justin Timberlake without even meeting him. The guy might been having a hard life with fans like you, you know, bc he is obliged to make all the right moves and try not to make anything silly (even though I know that if he made you would say it wasn´t).
On the other side, there are fans like me, Ola and many others who have feet on the ground and like Justin but know he is human with everything that comes with that.
By the way, for those who love to put Brit´s name on these topics, I´ll share this with you: http://twitter.com/storyofmeTJ/status/10495921440.
If you can remember JoJo is going to perform with JT and Timbaland. There is a lot of coincidences going on on Hollywood.
^Lol. Not a big deal. Lol
to; ola
When i said ‘like us loving justin’ it was for making the connection between my example and the point i was trying to make.
altough i admit HE IS my dreamy boy, obvious, was’nt ever trying to hide it .
“if they would care about their own life and if their boyfriend cheats on them in real life instead of defending someone who doesn´t give a shit about them and their opinion”
^^
so you caring about someone who you [probably] dont even like is better ?!?
at least i know i’m here because i’m a fan of Justin. and not coming here only to hate.
Thomas.
dont try act like youre a girl !! o.k ?!??
Some people here dont use their real name as username so she could be a girl.
I`M NOT A GIRL????
What makes you think that?
Just bc Justin IS NOT my “dream boy”?
Or bc my name here is masculine (Thomas)?
Actually, it´s not my real name, I picked it up from a friend.
But I have my dream boy RINUSH, a real one…
^
LMAO :p
Oh god should I state my real name? Lmao

YEAH RIGHT
I love Justin and I am his fan and not ashamed to say *-* Even more now that I broke with my bf(
)
^^
REALLY ?!?
you broke up with your bf ? this is sad.
what went wrong ???
:[
^He betrayed me!!!
How someone can look in your eyes and say “I love you”! Saying that he wants someone to date seriously and then, do this! I did not enter in the Juss site when he was here because he did not like!!! I HATE HIM SO MUCH!!!!!!
P.S.: If Justin do some day this with someone (even being the Biel, which I hate) I don’t know what I do!! It’s horrible!!!
^
sorry to hear that he betrayed you miss timberlake
If Justin do some day this with someone (even being the Biel, which I hate) I don’t know what I do!! It’s horrible!!!
^
and i agree on this part
^Ok, thankx
