Justin Timberlake not Normal???

Justin Timberlake not Normal??? by Roxanne McDonald

According to one celebrity stalkers mag, Justin has his moments of abnormalcy. Who cares? He’s still a hottie who can howl.

So Star magazine has this ongoing section they have been running for a couple of years now that is fun to gloss over called “Stars: Are They Normal or Not?� The feature pictures of seven or eight celebrities doing various somethings and then label each shot with a decisive “NORMAL� or “NOT NORMAL�.

In the February 26, 2007 issue, Star features Justin Timberlake: the photo is one of him doing a repeat performance of a skit he participated in on SNL, wherein he has an actual package attached to his, er, package area—the title of the skit having been “Dick in a Box.� And the Star label is, of course, “NOT NORMAL.�

Now, yeah, yeah, any publicity is good publicity, but what works for Justin is what has worked for several celebs—a combination of talent to begin with, some shock schlock, and re-invention. It worked for Madonna, who reshaped her performance persona several times and in several ways over the decades that not only kept with the times but kept the times with her interesting. It worked, in a different way, for Michael Jackson.

And just as it works (or will work) for a new Brit who has shaved her head, gotten tats, and turned herself in to rehab, it apparently suffices as strategy for the NSYNC Boy with a white boy fro turned spotlight boyfriend to Brit turned Super Bowl shock agent turned bluesy, jazzy vocal genius with a close to the head haircut and a package on his pee-pee.

And hey, I recall when “NOT NORMAL� for Star was a thong showing above the jeans. So, take it for what it’s worth.
