Many of essentially the most explosive particulars in Britney Spears‘ new memoir, The Woman in Me, revolve round Justin Timberlake. The pop stars, who met on The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, began courting in 1999. They broke up three years later after he reportedly referred to as issues off with a two-word textual content. During their time collectively, Spears claims that the NSYNC member cheated on her with an unnamed celeb. She additionally wrote that he inspired her to get an abortion, however “if it had been left as much as me alone, I by no means would have finished it.”
While Timberlake and Spears had been courting, NSYNC appeared as themselves on The Simpsons. It’s uncommon when the visitor stars are larger than the present, however which may have been the case with the season 12 episode “New Kids on the Blecch.” The boy band — Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, and Joey Fatone — had just lately launched No Strings Attached, which offered 2.4 million copies in its first weekend of launch. It’s a file that may stand till 2015 (Adele: by no means been on The Simpsons). NSYNC was so standard, even Tom Hanks dropped by their recording session to fulfill them.
Timberlake, who recorded his traces individually from the remainder of the group attributable to a private matter, has essentially the most memorable non-“Yvan Eht Nioj” line from the episode: “Word.” He repeats “phrase” a number of occasions. Like so:
On the episode’s DVD commentary, a member of The Simpsons crew (I can’t inform who; I’m sorry however it’s been awhile since I’ve dedicated them to the reminiscence, and the all-male voices mix collectively) shared that Timberlake wasn’t a fan of the joke. He sarcastically however politely allow them to know that “he would by no means in one million years say ‘phrase.’” The lil’ stinkers on The Simpsons could or could not have promised they wouldn’t use it, however that they had it on tape, “so once we had been placing the monitor collectively, it simply appeared humorous to me to maintain utilizing it over and over on the finish of all his traces.”
Word.
