Justin Timberlake seems to be the master of mass appeal, which frankly I don’t see. The man brought sexy back, but I just think he is too preppy to be sexy. Sorry JT, you’ll just have to stay with Jessica Biel, you’ll never win me over. I’m sure your heart is breaking.
Timberlake told a story that definitely detracts from whatever sexiness some people perceive in him. He says he wet his pants when Michael Jordan told him he liked his music.
Recounting the incident, the ‘SexyBack’ singer said that the basketball star was one of his biggest role models, and he could not contain his excitement when Jordan told him he was a fan of his music.
“When I was young… I wanted to be Michael Jordan. It was weird, I heard (Gary Wright song) Dreamweaver in my head when he walked in the room,” Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.
“He was like, `Hey man, my kids and I, we’re big fans of your music,’ and I was like, `That’s cool…’ Up until the point where he walked away and I realised I had peed a little,” he added.
As someone who needs to go to the bathroom when nervous (except in Australia we call it a dunny, and it’s often located outside), I can see how maybe you’d wet your pants when you met an idol. Which is making me very, very nervous about meeting Reese Witherspoon, although she’s probably had to clean her children’s ‘little accidents’ up a few times so I think it wouldn’t phase her.
Fortunately for Justin, he only did a little pee, not enough to be noticeable. If he’d kept his mouth shut, we’d all be none the wiser. I wonder if he had made a big gushing mess if it would have made Michael Jordan more or less of a fan? A little urination makes for an amusing anecdote, but pissing all over the carpet is uncouth.

“Often located outside”? Pardon me Helen, but as a 39 year old Aussie, I have never owned or visited an outside dunny. I don’t think they are terribly common. Do you also have a pet kangaroo? 😉
Do you perhaps mean peeing behind a tree? Cos I’ve never done that either, I swear.
same country cb rawks just vastly different lives lived. i know lots of people here in the states who’ve never used an outdoor privy or peed behind a clump of bushes, yet i grew up with an outhouse, used many a one while camping or traveling or visiting people, and christened many a sheltered spot while hiking, and have lived places where outdoor privys were common. it depends on where you live and the people you hang out with.
It’s MICHAEL JORDAN!!! I’d pee a little too.
This is the man that helped morph pro basketball into what it is today.
We all know Justin’s a HUGE basketball fan, and specifically a Jordan fan. He holds the Tarheels as one of his favorite teams! (For those who don’t know, Jordan played for the NC Tarheels before going pro and playing for the Chicago Bulls. NC is his alma mater :D)
Personally, I think it makes Justin a million times more endearing. Even a big celebrity heart throb like Justin gets phased and has humbling moments. I like that.
It probably wasn’t urine either.
justin is a nerd, but not in a sexy nerd way. in an annoying little brother nerd kind of way.
I don’t see it, I just don’t see anything sexy about him. He has talent, but is an ordinary looking guy.
Jez Timberlake!
Damn boy-get some sex so you don’t blow your load when your excited…
CB Rawks — I am a 22 year old Aussie, and I have seen many an outside dunny! My dad used to have one, and a couple of my friends now still have them in their backyards! I also have had two pet kangaroos 🙂
In saying that, though, I do live in WA’s mining region, so we’re a *tad* more remote than, say, Sydney or Brisvegas!
THAT IS A NO-NO TO WET HIS UNDERWEAR AND HIS PANT HE MUST BE A 8 YEAR KID TO DO THE BABY STUFF 😆
Personally I think it’s a little rude to go off on him for it. If you didn’t want to know, you didn’t have to read it. And think about it, he may not have even let ANYTHING loose except a few drops, everyone exaggerates. He wanted to convey how much it phased him.
And everyone has embarrassing moments. I like the fact that he’s willing to share it, because he’s been a star since he was a young kid. He’s never gotten himself into too much trouble, he still feels concern for Britney with all of the crap she’s gotten herself into, he makes great music, and so on. It really does show a moment of humbleness, and I appreciate that. It just makes me like him all the more.
It was an exaggeration, people! That was his way of saying he was nervous and excited about meeting MJ.
I highly doubt he -actually- peed himself. Comedienne Kathy Griffin does a bit in one of her acts about the time she was confronted by Whitney Houston, who implied Kathy’s demise if she ever put material on Whitney in any of her acts. Kathy exclaimed to the audience, “I’m not gonna lie, I had a little pee running down my leg…” Did she really? Of course not, it’s just an expression. I’d wager it’s the same thing with Justin.
Thank you. Really, it’s a common phrase. I don’t understand why people make such a big deal out of the littlest things. 😯
in deed he just felt like havin s but no gal was willing to help him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 😆
I found this very helpful thank. I willtry tocome by here more regularly.
