In "Love" with Justin Timberlake!

In the raunchy, funny Mike Meyers comedy (with music) The Love Guru, hot Justin Timberlake is, at first, unrecognizable in the film as he portrays ace L.A. Kings hockey player Jacques Grande. Justin's longer, curly wig reminds us of his early N' Sync days but the freaky mustache totally debunks that image!
It seems that Jacques is quite the ladies' man as he romances the straying wife of a rival team member. The French-Canadian character is famous for being uh, well-endowed and for being a rabid Celine Dion fan! He sports a tattoo on his tummy; two arrows, one pointing up saying "The Man" and the other pointing down reading "The Legend". Get it? 'Nuff said. Justin has come a very long way from "The Mickey Mouse Club"!
After spotting Justin's untapped comedic ability on his "Saturday Night Life" guest appearances, the "Guru" filmmakers were quick to sign him to the movie and his hilarious performance made them all proud.
We got to chat with the mega-star (we were sitting less than a foot from him okay?) in Beverly Hills last week and found Justin to be friendly, charming, far from full of himself and we noticed just a touch of his original soft Tennessee accent.... yum! Picture this: curly light brown hair, slight beard, blue eyes that look directly into yours as he speaks, preppie/cute olive green and black stripe sweater over a black shirt and black tiny polka dot tie, black pants.
