Timberlake Takes On 'Stalking' Photog Pop icon Justin Timberlake is fighting back against a photographer that the pop star says is "stalking" him. The 'NSYNC singing sensation has asked a Los Angeles judge to keep the paparazzo away from him and his trainer. "CJ" has obtained court papers in which Timberlake accuses Artemus Earl Lister of inflicting great fear upon him. Excerpts from Timberlake's declaration include him saying, "I have been stalked and harassed continually," and "The defendant has been stalking me outside of my home almost everyday and aggressively follows me throughout the day" and "When I am driving on the street, defendant drives recklessly, erratically and agressively." Timberlake also says that one time when his trainer took Lister's camera away, the photographer tried to strike him. Timberlake isn't asking anyone for pity, but he was able to justify his pleas for protection. The singer and his trainer, Robert Bonner, were granted a three-year restraining order against the allegedly fanatical photographer.
Justin Timberlake Fights Fire With Fire I’ve never really understood why there's this huge fascination with catching celebrities without their makeup or while they’re on vacation. Most of the time they look pretty hideous and the stories surrounding them are usually something like, "Madonna spotted buying gloves… on sale!" That’s why we here at ChartAttack, connoisseurs of proper entertainment news reporting, take our collective hats off to Justin Timberlake, who recently obtained a restraining order against a paparazzi photographer. Cleverly referred to as "stalkerazzis" by Timberlake’s publicist Ken Sunshine (yes, Sunshine) the case seems to be specific towards those photographers that often follow their celebrity targets by car. Sunshine noted that unless someone were bold enough to follow through legally on the issue, eventually, a princess or something gets killed in one of these chases. Thankfully, Timberlake, a man of the people, has balls the size of Guadeloupe. Timberlake sought the restraining order back on July 7 against photographer Artemus Earl Lister, whom he claimed was actively stalking the pop star pretty boy. Timberlake has also filed a lawsuit in a London court against News Of The World, a British tabloid which got the inside scoop on Timberlake’s apparent infidelity. From Britney Spears to Cameron Diaz, it’s only logical that JT would eventually snag himself a model too, but Timberlake denies ever even meeting Lucy Clarkson, the British model in question. Just for the record, in today's News Of The World, there are five entertainment stories, four of which involve sex in some lewd form, while the fifth is all about a "catfight." For their part, News Of The World stand behind their story.

The new cool? The mullet It came from the '80s, clawing its way onto skulls everywhere. Business in the front, party in the back. The mullet. For a decade we felt the shockwaves. From Michael Bolton to Mel Gibson to Joe the local auto mechanic, the mullet's power stretched far and wide. And now, just when we thought our scalps were safe, the mullet is once again riding high. "It never quite goes and it comes back again," said Mark Larson, co-author of "The Mullet: Hairstyle of the Gods." "It's kind of like what they say about the evolution of roaches. They've been here since the dinosaurs, and they just keep adapting. The mullet adapts." So the style has mutated from the traditional mullet of short hair in front, cropped above the ears, and long hair in back, cascading over the shoulders. This time around we're dealing with a different breed: the shag mullet. Most popular with young men, the bangs hang just below the eyebrows, while the back creeps down to the shoulders. As with most trends, we have celebrities to thank. This summer former `N Sync member JC Chasez and Maroon 5 guitarist James Valentine wore mullets at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. Actor John Hensley of TV's "Nip/Tuck" and Everclear frontman Art Alexakis are now doing the same... |
