Justin Timberlake Gets Between Sheets On Comedy In Menage A Trois Title Battle
EXCLUSIVE: Justin Timberlake is making a deal to star in Friends With Benefits, a Screen Gems romantic comedy that becomes one of three bed-hopping-themed projects going by the same title. Timberlake will star in a romantic comedy directed by Will Gluck, whose recently completed Screen Gems comedy, Easy A, has tested strongly and is bound for a Toronto Film Festival bow. A headhunter recruits a magazine editor and since each is too busy to find a mate, they agree to sleep together with no strings attached. Things get complicated when the guy falls for the girl, who’s dating someone else. The script was written by Keith Merryman and David Newman, but Gluck is expected to do a rewrite.
Paramount is also using the title on a romantic comedy that Ivan Reitman will direct with Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. Insiders acknowledge that Screen Gems registered the title first, when the Paramount film was called Fuckbuddies. While Paramount could have that title all to itself, it would be suicide to use it, because the studio would be severely hampered in its ability to market the movie in print and network TV advertising. Fuckbuddies isn’t the big obstacle for Screen Gems, though. The bigger problem is the series pilot Friends With Benefits that NBC green lit last month, after ABC dropped it. The series, about five friends who bed-hop while looking for true love, has some heavy hitters behind it. It was written by (500) Days of Summer scribes Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber, and Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin is executive producer with Imagine chief Brian Grazer and David Nevins. While Screen Gems can block a rival studio’s film release, I’m told it can’t stop a TV series. So Screen Gems will probably have to wait and see if the series makes NBC’s fall schedule and becomes a hit before it decides what to do with its movie. These title skirmishes come up occasionally. The most recent was on Avatar, and once again, Paramount came out on the short end. Fox and James Cameron had that title first, so while M. Night Shyamalan and Paramount made their film based on the popular animated Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender, they dropped Avatar from a film that will be released July 2.

Ironically this is also what happens when you work very hard to remind people that you are his girlfriend. That, really, is all you are.

This is true thats all she is now. And i saw A-team trailer the other day it fucking sucks Liam Nelson should have never agree to be part of that shit but it has Bradley Cooper it might do reasonably well. And aside from Ateam what other movies she will have out? She is back to be up to his ass nagging him and not letting him have his space.

Jessica will take it however she can get it,and she’s not running the show.
Why is Pippy suddenly Matt Damon?
That Matt Damon is sent a heavy load of scripts is understandable. He’s Matt Damon. But… Justin Timberlake? He recently wrapped on The Social Network (the Facebook story), he’s currently working on Bad Teacher with Cammie D, and now he’s reportedly close to confirming another lead in a comedy called Friends With Benefits about some dude who meets an attractive girl at a meeting and they agree to f-ck but not date and all goes well until he falls in love with her but she has a boyfriend…not to be confused with a similar movie that Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher will apparently be working on with Ivan Reitman called F-ckbuddies.
There are a lot of young actors in Hollywood. Why is a pipsqueak musician-fashion designer-wannabe-thespian suddenly at the top of the list? Is it because JT has had so much box office success?
Run down his last few features:
The Open Road was virtually straight to DVD. The Love Guru was a disaster. Shrek 3 sucked. Black Snake Moan was incomprehensible. Southland Tales was a joke. Alpha Dog an even bigger joke. That’s not a winning record. That’s, like, an Edmonton Oilers win/loss record. Yes, he is great on Saturday Night Live. But he canNOT act for SH-T.
Please Hollywood people. Stop trying to force Justin Timberlake the Actor into my face. I am not entertained.
But it does amuse me very much that the alleged “real” actor in the relationship, Jessica Biel, has to sit by at home and watch as courier after courier script delivery is marked for the boyfriend. And she’s the one who walks the dogs while he reports to set every day. This is what happens when overreaching happens. Ironically this is also what happens when you work very hard to remind people that you are his girlfriend. That, really, is all you are.
what happen to all the movies she supposedly was going to be in ?
Has biel got a new profession becoming a dog walker for the stars ?
is that her new job ?
__
That made me lol
And btw i hate that she got away with letting her dog eat the other dog she had. Media or Peta should have called her out 4 that.
Oh my God! Really? She’s crazy!
I noticed she was wearing a cap with Justin golf course on
and she had a little grin on her face when the guy was jogging past her with his shirt off

She told some story about how she took her dogs to a dog park and she didn’t see it happen, but one of the dogs in the dog park attacked her dog. That’s still no excuse. Why wasn’t she watching her dogs? That was irresponsible. And what about the owner of the dog that attacked her dog? They weren’t watching or responsible either? This story is total bullshit. She’s such a liar.

Here’s the official statement as provided to Celebrity Dog Watcher:
Thank you for contacting us, the story you have posted is not accurate. Tevy was Jessica’s younger dog that she adopted over six months ago. Last month Tevy suffered an unfortunate accident when she was playing with a group of dogs. No one was around to witness exactly what happened, and sadly she died later that day at a veterinary hospital. From one dog lover to another, we thank you for your concern and for thinking of her during this difficult time.
This was her publicist covering the fact her dog ate the other
the first report was :
celebritydogwatcher.com/2007/09/19/jessica-biels-publicist-responds-to-rumors/
After the hype last week over the rumor of Jessica Biel’s dog Tina possibly killing the much younger pit bull, Tevy (we’ve been incorrectly calling the dog Tavy all this time!), we reached out to Biel’s publicist and EUREKA! We just received a very nice email from her.
Justin looks good in the new pics with cam nice to see some real chemestry
This is what happens when overreaching happens
Lainey is right, and this is what happens when a piece of shit (Biel) pretends to be beautiful, something important and a real good actress lol – she will get what she deserves: nobody will give her any movie roles because they all know she is shit lol It must be sooo frustrating for her Please, even the press doesn´t like her lol
# You’ve got to love this business. You have to be able to take rejection. – Jessica Biel 31 minutes ago via HootSuite
She looks bad even now that she is still young haha Let there be ten more years – then she will look like an old monster – maybe she can play one in a horror film then lol
Oh if she loves rejection that is no problem because she will get a lot of it hahaha BITCH

Yep. Everyone knows even nice pit-bulls who have good temperament still get very aggravated with other smaller and larger dogs and animals. It’s their nature, even if they are a friendly PB they still need to be kept separate from other animals when you’re not watching or you leave them alone.
Apparently she or someone left her big PB Tina alone with her new 6 month old puppy PB, and Tina killed it.
Oke Rinush Breath take a chill pil i am a huge fan of the guy be patient as i said you never know what to expect with Jt it will be oke.Oh and miss timberlake dont jump of a bridge because people cant fly….Relax!
