Justin Timberlake: Has she gotten FAAAAAATTTTTT!!!!!

Stupid thing didn't do the embed....

Jeez he looks like Uncle Bottom at the wedding reception.

Did he really have to make those faces before he kicked his feet like he was at a hoedown?

At least he doesn't look gay anymore.....

I hope that video is somehow distorted - if not, that is really sad

He's developing classic dad-bod...

The OP is an emissary of Black Twitter who keeps posting their daily racist talking point bullshit on Datalounge.

OP, nobody fucking cares. Nobody tried to "ruin" Janet Jackson. Her stupid costume came apart one time, a long time ago. We saw her titt. A few people gasped. Janet said she and Justin were fine. So why is this still a thing for you, other than your being a nasty, vile, black racist?

At least he's still light on his feet.

Aging sucks

It’s racist to say that Justin is fat and untalented? Mmmkay. His face is bloated and he’s moving in slow motion. My guess is that he has taken up drinking.

Looks like a fat Tony Randall.

I like him fat, still. I'd do him. It's he cut or uncut?

He's no Nick Lachay, Lachey, Leche, or whatever his last name is.

What happened to bringing sexy back?

No, R10, it's not "racist" to say he's fat. But look at the link of the Twitter account OP posts. Look at the posting that person made about "America tried to cancel Janet for this man"... Maybe follow that Twitt poster around a bit. Black Twitter is a hive of vile, nasty haters and troll for anything white or Asian they can snark and bitch and hate over, and the OP has been posting their shit over and over and ovah again.

Big as a house!

[quote] What happened to bringing sexy back?

Looks like he should now be singing "I'm brining [bold]snacks[/bold] back.

Oh boy is the dancing embarrassing at that weight.

Wow, unrecognizable. Yikes.

He looks like a youth pastor going through a midlife crisis.

It's the angle or the fit of his shirt. He doesn't look fat in this video.

He needs to be bringing salad back (yeah!)

He looks like an aging lesbian with a heavy wine and ice cream habit.

R21 He looks fat AND old.

It makes him singing like a 12-year-old seem really creepy and off.

He was always FUG

No one has ever tried to ‘cancel’ Janet Jackson.

Her career ended not because her planned stunt didn’t get the response she wanted, but because her music was unlistenable.

[quote]Black Twitter is a hive of vile, nasty haters and troll for anything white or Asian they can snark and bitch and hate over

You know you're in DataLounge, right?

He looks fucking gross. But he is a middle-aged white man.

Dancing elephant

This is the kind of shirt I have hanging in the back of my closet, for those three weekends a year when the mechanic in me comes out to work on my bicycle.

The worst part is that the tea cloth he's wearing is probably expensive beyond my wildest dreams.

Bye bye bye

He doesn't look fat to me. But he looks old and is moving like an old man trying to look young. What's with the retarded facial expression before he busts a move (or busts an artery, more like).

I'm embarrassed for him.

He doesn't look fat. He's covered up with super baggy clothes and probably has muscle under there. Those clothes are tenting out and making him look like he has no waist.

WGAF?

He's been over for a decade at least. He just hasn't read the memo yet.

That video is the best laugh of the day so far. Should be next to "cringe" in the dictionary. The second hand embarrassment is real with this one. His poor horsey wife, eh, at least he has money. The faces, the stiff and awkward dancing juxtaposed with the lyrics, just hilarious. I'm sure he made bank with his "performance" kind of a has been lineup.

"He doesn't look fat."

Then why does he dance fat? 🤔

He looks like a fat cunt playing hopscotch.

Stop it, Justin. You're embarrassing yourself.

Interestingly, Lance Bass has aged the best out of all the members of Nsync.

And why the fuck is he wearing an outfit that looks like he got from a clearance sale from Walmart?

Because I got it at a clearance sale from Walmart.

Jealous bitches?

You're a fucking a moron. The person who tweeted that is a gay Filipino reporter who is obviously a Janet Jackson fan. You're trying to make this into a "blacks are the real racist" situation when it's evident that Justin has a lot of detractors (mostly Janet and Britney fans) of all races enjoying his downfall.

This has nothing to do with Black Twitter. You're nothing but a race-baiting shit-stirrer.

Hopscotch. Lol r37

He played a middle aged cop/sheriff in his wife's most recent mini series entitled Candy and was quite convincing in that because hello! You're MIDDLE AGED Justin. How foolish would any of us look trying to act like we're still in our 20s? And that's what this is. It also proves him to be a one-note celeb with no real discernable talent.

Quite the contrast

[quote] Oh boy is the dancing embarrassing at that weight.

LOL! Even the audience sounds underwhelmed.

[quote] He doesn't look fat. He's covered up with super baggy clothes and probably has muscle under there.

No. The muscle is not there that's why he's covered up. He's not exactly "fat" just unconditioned. Probably hasn't worked out in a while.

It doesn’t matter how hot we are when we’re young, everyone eventually turns into Louis CK.

I think he looks the hottest he's ever looked.

In some pictures he looks like the game of thrones guy who is allegedly bi or gay

Looks fine to me

Dad bod

How do you get a Twitter link to show up with the actual pic and not just the blue link?

I’d eat his ass.

I'd still suck his dick.

You thiink that's fat?

Not even half of "AMERICAN" fat fat. Yes, he would be fat in Tokyo or Berlin.

Oh wow. Between personal trainers, personal chefs, home gyms, appetite suppressant meds - Celebs have no excuse to be fat!

R56 So we're getting our beauty standards from people who caused WWII

I had the sound off and he looked like a guy dancing at a VFW to country music.

We call him Justinses.

And the preferred pronoun is "they."

It fries him that his cock now looks even smaller.

He should do a world tour with Britney Spears.

JFC r11 that is one ancient reference

Ok r58 we'll just get our beauty standards from a country that had slavery and genocide of Native Americans

R64 WWII was a little more recent.

"Big bear" - euphemism for "fat slob"

"Ok [R58] we'll just get our beauty standards from a country that had slavery and genocide of Native Americans "

The British? 🤔

r66 slavery is discussed daily in the US. We can never forget it.

r68 = twat

He's a backwoods hillbilly who got very lucky for a surprising number of years.

R69 It's almost like there wasn't this big war fought to abolish it almost two centuries ago, or something.

r70 = Dumb fuck Brit

Poor Justin.

The legacy lives on r72

World War II was a big war r72.

This is what my 64yo dad looks like when he's had a couple beers at the family cookout and wants to prove he's still "got it."

R76 Yes, Joey, there were a lot of big bombs and planes and guns!

He's a math teacher at a wedding

r78 needs his nap

R78 is just tired of arguing

So don't make stupid statements r81. "Oh, he's fat in Tokyo and Berlin! But wait....they were the ENEMY! That's not OK!"

This man got into a tiff with Prince over sexiness. THIS man.

I always side-eye couples where one is physically fit/a health nut and the other is giving into middle-aged spread. Wonder what kind of insurance policy Jessica has out on Justin.

nice

R82 Is one of those people who has to have the last word

It's much funnier without the sound.

[quote]No one has ever tried to ‘cancel’ Janet Jackson. Her career ended not because her planned stunt didn’t get the response she wanted, but because her music was unlistenable.

Also, it had been 22 years since her first album, and 18 years since the one that made her a megastar. Many before and after Janet Jackson were splattered on impact with the 20-year wall. How many people in modern pop/rock get more than 20 years as a "hitmaker" type? Maybe there are examples a little over and under 20, but it's a good yardstick.

Of COURSE many acts have much longer careers and keep loyal fan bases, but they aren't in the cultural forefront anymore, attracting a mass audience with new work. You hear "Madonna and Janet never get their new songs played on the radio anymore, but the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Paul McCartney are allowed to keep going on as long as they want, so sexism." But the Rolling Stones, Dylan, and Paul McCartney aren't aspiring to the kind of careers where their new singles are burning up the charts.

After 20 years, no matter how great you've been, you're what a previous generation listened to. The young people who do most of the buying will prefer someone younger who does a similar type of thing.

True ^

Janet had a much better run most than most pop stars. She's actually lucky that she had that incident to blame her (already) cooling career on.

I've noticed in the last few years there's been some attempt to create a revisionist narrative that racism/sexism caused Janet's career to collapse while Justin's continued. Well, no, Justin was much younger than Janet and at his career's peak. Janet was two decades into her career and I can't identity a single song on any album post Superbowl that should've been a hit but wasn't.

Her ALL FOR YOU album underperformed. It only had three singles: the title track, and then the Ventura Highway and You're So Vain remakes with Janet giggling on top of them.

Alright bitches, enough about Janet. Please resume conversation about Jussy's rapidly expanding waistline. Does he have to wear a bra now?

His body look fine to me, I love myself a bit of dad bod, but it’s the unintentionally hilarious expression on his face as he’s dancing that make this clip so cringeworthy.

His sneakers have heels on them.

lol Im not sure why he'd have heels on his sneakers, he's 6'0

He's going down the George Michael aging path. Without the talent, of course.

He looks fine to me.

Any actual photo evidence of weight gain?

He's not fat.

If you look properly, you can see he's slim under the two shirts.

There's no stomach sticking out or anything.

OP is an idiot.

I think he's just in a badly fitting, poor choice of outfit. I don't think he's fat.

He's not fat. He's just wearing clothes that are much too loose on him. I guess he's embracing the urban look these days.

Same as the last few comments. And it's not exactly dancing for his lifetime achievement clip, but he's danced better, and probably still can if someone works with him.

No one was more dismissive than I was of that teen-pop boom of the late '90s. I wanted them all to board a plane and go down like Ritchie and the Big Bopper, with more cargo pants. But I had to give Timberlake his due eventually, when I saw him live. He's a good performer who probably would have been a big success in earlier eras too.

R95, YTF.

He is in the series Candy with his wife. Shot recently. He looks neither thin nor fat but definitely thick with "dad bod". He looks cute styled for 1980.

he's finally looking like a man... he's getting better!

Black Twitter and current black pop culture is desperate to deify any black person that they perceive as being wronged in the past, Janet was OVAH well before the Superbowl. But we live in a post truth world, Janet was wrecked by the nip slip, Marsha threw the first brick and Beyonce is a civil rights QWEEN.

.....

[quote] "His face is bloated and he’s moving in slow motion. My guess is that he has taken up drinking."

It could be for any number of reasons R10, so who knows, BUT his marraige has supposedly been problematic for a while now. So the drinking habit (of there is one) could be a result of that

He looks tired, old and fat. Did he run out of breath? Aging sucks. There are always someone younger to replace you. You are not Madonna.

The bullying of Justin needs to stop. So tired of hearing about Janet.

Forgive. Move on.

R107, I agree.

It's sexist, too. In a situation involving a near 40-year old man and a 23-year old female, you can bet all the blame would fall on the man.

Near 40-year old Janet was the Superbowl headliner and she planned the stunt. Justin was her 23-year old guest who just went along with it. It was not his idea. Are they really trying to suggest a 23-year old White Southern guy came up with this idea and suggested it to a rich, famous African-American woman who had been part of a great and powerful music family since she was a child?

Whether or not Justin is truly fat is debatable but what cannot be denied is that he, just like Johnny Depp, cannot hide their low class, peasant stock, Florida white trash upbringing.

Middle aged man dancing at a wedding. Why do these pop stars still try to act young when they aren’t. Tragic.

Timberlake has taken to wearing his maternity clothes.

JT was the kind of guy who was really cute in his twink boy days but was never going to look good at 40 no matter what he did

He's 41 let him look his age . Crimany

He looks ridiculous. Isn't he like 50 now ?

He's fat and long OVAH.

Janet was no where near a career cooling off when she was asked to do the SB. She had just come off of her fifth consecutive #1 album (which was the biggest first-week seller of her career), had the longest-running Hot 100 #1 song (which also netted her another Grammy), had record ratings when her concert aired on HBO in 2002 and had been recently declared MTV's first official Icon. Besides, they don't ask people who are on a career decline to headline the SB halftime show. Her former stylist, Waynescot Lukas, is shady as fuck and posted that tragic Justin video on his Facebook feed. I LOVE that fucker, lol.

I have no issues with his looks. I just think he should realize that he is way past his teen idol days. Are 13 y/o girls listening to his music or going to his shows ? It is a bit pathetic and sad really...

R115 plenty of Super Bowl headliners are past the peak of their careers. Just look at the last Super Bowl.

R116 he's not aiming for 13-year olds. He wants a chunk of the fans who followed him when he was young. They would be in their 30s now.

Karma really came for this fool. He used black music to get superstar status then tried to to throw black people and culture under the bus like a used condom. The thing he doesn't realise is, when black people stop thinking you're cool, that spreads to white people too.

R119, we "realise" you're not American.

He’s gotten chunky (and it’s not the loose clothes.) He’s pudgy and doughy.

.,.,

[quote]we "realise" you're not American

Former American. I left years ago.

[quote]Her former stylist, Waynescot Lukas, is shady as fuck and posted that tragic Justin video on his Facebook feed.

Is that the same guy who got fired from What Not To Wear after the first season?

The cluster B queens on here and Twitter need to get the fuck over this shit. Who cares in 2022? Britney and Janet moved on. Why can't you? And I'll reiterate what I've said before, Janet was partially to blame because she participated in that stupid stunt on national TV. Madonna kissing Britney (and Xtina) on the VMAs (an event broadcast on cable with an 16-34 demographic) was vastly different than the Super Bowl which appealed to Middle America and targeted to families and elderly with NFL being a favorite about white conservatives. Janet chose the wrong event for it especially since this was post-9/11 neoconservativism. She may have gotten away with it in the 90s when people were trying to be subversive but not in Bush America.

Now that said, Justin is a 40-something white man with two kids. The Tennessee hillbilly fat genes are coming for him. '

I'm black and I can't stand them. When do wealthy black celebs who distance themselves from regular black people and associate with the upper-class have to do with us? White working class don't defend every damn rich white celeb. Janet being a Jackson is only black when it's convenient for her and I say that as a fan. Joe and Katherine certainly ingrained some self-hate into their kids. Beyonce is just an airhead who follows orders. Marsha was a gay black drag queen for some reason got used a prop for political clout.

Celebrity worship is toxic and a distraction. What about the black people in Somalia and Yemen who are starving to death? What about Mauritania's slave trade? Or how Haiti is still struggling with crumbling infrastructure destroyed by storms and constant political conflict. And what about actual gay black activist Bayard Rustin who is still ignored every year. At least James Baldwin gets some attention but I guess he's too boring because he was educated and not genderbendering like Marsha.

Not an Owen Benjamin fan but he once had a video on youtube (before his channel was banned) and was talking about his experiences with celebs. I wish I could link it but it was deleted with the channel. So take it with a grain of salt. Apparently Owen was once excited to meet all these celebs that are always in the news but got really dissapointed after witnessing their true awkward nature. Owen's talk was basically about how celebs really are not how they are portrayed in the media (duh). He said that J's new phone once fell in the pool and he literally started to cry in all seriousness because it was broken(this was before waterproof phones). Like really sobbing.... ALLEGEDLY. Does someone on here Know Justin personally and do you think this alleged story fits his character? I personally don't believe it because Justin always seems so manly apart from that boomer dance this thread is about but maybe that incident inspired his hit "cry me a river"?

Justin cried on Punk'd and called his mom. He also said he has ADHD and OCD. He does come across as very emotional and hotheaded and the type to throw tantrums.

Pudgy or not….I still would.

He was never good looking. Not sure why anybody was ever hot for him.

I wonder if he’s become a nicer person in his older age. He used to be a world class jerk when he was younger.

[quote]White working class don't defend every damn rich white celeb.

Bull and shit. If this were the case, then we wouldn't have 30% of this country blindly indoctrinated into the Cult of Trump.

R131 Trump had a lot of nonwhite men support him too. I'm black and know many black and Hispanic men who supported him. He just appealed to straight men in general and spoke their language so to speak. Women and gay men were his biggest opponents.

R128, you put that meltdown very mildly. He was in full “I Want My Mommie’ mode. It was unsettling.

Looks like he's giving sexy back.

He never truly had “sexy”, R134.

He tried to copy what he could from JC and got the rest by associating with sexy women and artists.

On his own, he’s as exciting as dry toast.

It's very ridiculous to accuse Timberlake of cultural appropriation considering New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys and NSYNC were all created with the purpose to sell urban music to a suburban audience. They all had black songwriters and producers who worked with them too. And Timberlake was singing R&B covers, rapping and doing hip-hop dance as a little boy on The Mickey Mouse Club along with JC, Britney and Christina Aguilera. Timberlake grew up near Memphis, the capital of soul and blues music.

What occured here was a cultural diffusion as racial barriers began breaking down and the youth of the 90s were more open to listening to and emulating black artists. Michael Jackson, Prince, Janet, Whitney, LL Cool J, Boyz II Men, NWA and Bobby Brown were cool.

I'm black myself and never found this offensive as I enjoyed many white rock and folk artists. Music should be shared. Do I think Timberlake, Eminem and Britney are overrated? Yes I do. Along with Elvis. But that's more reflective of society being more willing to hear black music from white artists. They themselves did nothing wrong and have all voiced their influences.

In the '80s and early '90s Whitney was accused of being 'too white'.

[quote]He tried to copy what he could from JC and got the rest by associating with sexy women and artists.

Jesus Christ?

Hear, hear, R136. Timberlake was born in 1981. Of course he would have had all kinds of music around him, and he was going to be influenced by what spoke to him most. It seems wrong to me to say lil' Justin should have bought the music of black artists, watched their videos, requested their songs on the radio, gone to see them in concert if their tours came his way, told his friends about them...but when he got old enough to pursue his own career, he should have guarded against any influence. Or he should have gone into country or Nickelback-like rock, whatever, something blamelessly "white."

I understand concerns about cultural appropriation, but the pushback on it can be heavy-handed.

Your "Music can be shared" says it beautifully in four words. Prince (one of Timberlake's obvious templates) never stopped talking about how much he derived from white Canadian Joni Mitchell, besides Sly Stone, George Clinton, and other black antecedents.

A fair amount of R&B, jazz and soul songs were also written by white and Jewish people. Donna Summer had a lot of hits written by Italian and British songwriters. And Whitney helped Diane Warren's career. The music industry is one of the few areas where racial barriers are broken and marginalized groups can contribute. Prince, Timbaland, Pharrell and Babyface have written for white and Latino artists.

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean the broader population got rid of their prejudice and racism is over. Artists think differently and aren't beholden to the same bigotries. Part of art is having an open mind and experimenting. That's why conservatives can't make good movies or music or do standup comedy.

He does seem like an anxious type. This had to feel a bit humiliating. He tried to be down with a local dance and, well, it was awfully funny, if earnest.

He could be the 'poster boy' for the "Signs that you're getting old" thread.

Of course, it was cultural appropriation. He was even using a blaccent.

R143 Oh please. The blaccent is Southern vernacular. White Southerners and black people speak very similar because they've lived together for centuries and there was linguistic sharing. I've known Afro Latinas, Black Canadians and Subsaharan Africans try to use a black American vernacular and it sounds fake and awful. That's because it's really an American Southern accent, it's associated with Black people because most of us are from the South or only two generations removed. Every Black American has a great grandparent from the South. A lot of Black Twitter are non-ADOS or black Gen Z who are disconnected with black history and align with blue haired white girls.

Every Black American does NOT have a great-grandparent from the South. You sound ignorant and insufferable.

He did look pretty chubby on Ellen.

Is he drug free? I hope so because he reminds me of George Michael on the Ellen interview video. Puffy and chubby.

R2: but his Uncle Bottom moves are hot af though

[quote]Oh please. The blaccent is Southern vernacular. White Southerners and black people speak very similar because they've lived together for centuries and there was linguistic sharing.

Nope. Black and white southern speech are different and easily distinguishable. And even then, what Timberlake was imitating sounded more "urban" which he largely stopped using and, as can be seen in the link at r143, now only conveniently uses when he's around black people and trying to fit in. Even black people in Minnesota sound different from their white neighbors.

Bug Tussel

[quote]What happened to bringing sexy back

He’s now bringing sexy backfat.

[quote]he's finally looking like a man... he's getting better!

Agreed. I think he's adorable. The dad-bod suits him just fine; I haven't been attracted to skinny twinks/teenagers since I was one of them myself (yes, it's been a while).

I still can't believe r149 seriously tried to erase AAVE and dismiss it as merely "Southern vernacular". No different from tiktokers and gay men who coopt the speech patterns and mannerisms of black women and dismiss it as "internet slang" when called out for appropriation. And people accuse black people of being paranoid. Unbelievable.

[quote] I've known Afro Latinas, Black Canadians and Subsaharan Africans try to use a black American vernacular and it sounds fake and awful.

And you think it sounds great and normal when a white American from Tennesse uses it? He sounded fake.

I liked his song with SZA though.

A fat person wears loose shirts to « hide. » it doesn’t work and we’ve all done it.

A fit muscular person wears clothes TO SHOWCASE his hotness AS JUSTIN USED TO DO.

It’s not a felony he gained weight. It’s a lot of diet and rigorous exercise to maintain.

Maybe he just said FUCK IT!!! I’m rich, I have a kid and I’m sick of starving myself

Why did he have children? To spread his feminine male voice genes?

I was talking about r144 at r153.

This is a parody of "Southern vernacular". Sounds nothing like a blaccent. Timberlake probably grew up sounding like this.

What the hell????

I had read Justin BIEBER! 😂😂😂😂

When I opened the link it was the most cringeworthy thing ever!!!! He seems mental

He bringing Hefty back!

It's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me

I couldn't get any bigger

With anyone else beside of me

And now it's clear as this promise

That we're making two reflections into one

He's like me but good

I can't believe people waste life arguing about ethnic, racial, regional accents, whatever. Everyone is offended by everything these days, it's the way kids are raised, or something. My mother used to say, "No one wants to listen to you complaining." She was from New England. She sounded kind of like a cross between Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis.
