Justin Timberlake Hates Gossip Mags

Justin Timberlake “despises” celebrity magazines. He probably doesn’t like celebrity blogs much, either.

Justin Timberlake blames celebrity magazines for turning his personal life into juicy gossip fodder.

“I despise what they do,” the 26-year-old singer tells Details magazine in an interview in its April issue. “They create soap operas out of people’s lives. … It’s a spin game, and I choose not to take part in it.”

That includes not dishing any dirt about former girlfriends Britney Spears and Cameron Diaz.

“I would never say anything bad about anyone. I love a lot of those people,” says Timberlake, whose latest album is “FutureSex/LoveSounds.”

Diaz and Timberlake, who had dated since 2003, confirmed their split in January. Timberlake’s relationship with Spears ended in 2002. They were a high-profile couple for three years.

Timberlake, a former member of boy band ‘N Sync, released his debut solo album, “Justified,” in 2002. The album won a Grammy Award.

“I tried so hard to be an R&B artist and it was the pop album of the year. … That’s the last thing I wanted,” Timberlake says. “But I was like, ‘So everyone considers me a pop artist? … I’m going to do whatever I want to do.’ “

It’s just not right that they treat Timberlake like a piece of meat. He’s a serious musician, damn it! Why, ‘N Sync was like the second coming of the Beatles . . .
