Timberlake Rep Defends Unsolicited Taylor Hicks Bashing

Justin Timberlake, great job on dissing Lindsay Lohan. We support you fully in that cause.

Your recent comment about Taylor Hicks, his lack of singing ability and possible affection for the company of men, however? Those seemed a bit uncalled for.

But according to Ken Sunshine, Timberlake's representative, the 25-year-old singer's comments "were taken completely out of context." Of course they were.

"He has tremendous affection for Taylor Hicks' success," Sunshine told The Associated Press on Thursday. "He would never say anything that personal about somebody he's never met. He only wishes him the best."

Provided he's not gay, of course. Timberlake only sticks up for former boy band mates, such as Lance Bass, in that case.

Meanwhile, JT is oozing sex appeal these days. Or at least hoping to with his latest album. Britney's ex and Cameron's current said the following to Vanity Fair regarding the CD:

"I wanted (the album) to look to a time when everything was really sexy. Maybe everybody was coked up, but who cares? It was hot. It was all about sex."

At that, Heather Mills went out and bought every copy in England.
