television Justin Timberlake Becomes Beyonces Backup Dancer On SNL

Justin Timberlake donned a tight black leotard and black high heels to become a background dancer for Beyonce Knowles’ music video “Single Ladies” in a skit for “Saturday Night Live.”

The pop hunk and “Saturday Night Live” regulars Andy Samberg and Bobby Moynihan mimicked Beyonce’s choreographed routine, but did little to impress the R&B diva in the skit.

“What are you doing?” Beyonce shouted as Justin Timberlake got a little too close for comfort. “We’re grinding,” said one of the other male dancers. “I thought it was obvious!”

The “Bootylicious” singer later performed “Single Ladies” with two real female dancers. The hit single is featured on her third major studio album “I Am…Sasha Fierce” that has been available in retail stores since November 12th, 2008.

music-news Kanye West Disses Justin Timberlake: He Went On Vacation, I Made Albums

Rap superstar Kanye West has dissed pop singer Justin Timberlake, insisting he missed his chance to hit the big time in music. The “Stronger” hitmaker, who has never been one for modesty, believes he is the Michael Jordan of the music industry.

“I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice,” he says in an interview with the Associated Press. “It’s me settling into that position of just really accepting that it’s one thing to say you want to do it and it’s another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan.”

The Grammy award-winning rapper claims Justin Timberlake had an opportunity to be music’s MVP, but hasn’t put out enough material. (Timberlake’s last album was released in 2006, while West dropped a CD last year and is releasing his latest — “808s and Heartbreak” — on November 24.)

He adds, “There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin went on vacation I made albums. And it just came out to be that.”

Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Monday night, and paid tribute to the artists who have helped her during her career.

She said, “What’s a record without the music. That’s right mother fuckers. What’s a record without Timbaland, Stuart Price… Pharrell Williams and Justin Timberlake.”

The singer also told the star-studded audience at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel that her dance teacher, Christopher Flynn, encouraged her to follow her dreams when she was only 14 years old.

“Thirty-five years later, people are still encouraging me to believe in my dreams,” she said. “What more could I ask for?”

Even the people who “said I was talentless, that I was chubby, that I couldn’t sing, that I was a one-hit wonder, they helped me, too,” she said. “They inspired me because they made me question myself repeatedly and pushed me to be better.”

Congratulations Madonna! You totally deserved this! …on the edge of your seat? Keep reading!
