Justin Phones Home for MTV
INFphoto.com
Justin Timberlake is looking to be Bourne again as Ashton Kutcher.
The singer-actor-dancer is upgrading himself from triple to quadruple threat as producer of an MTV reality show.
The star turned up to the cable net's upfront presentation in New York today to announce production on The Phone, a series set to debut this fall that is being touted (by those involved, natch) as a "real-life Bourne Identity," albeit a completely Matt-Damon-less one.
And, from the sound of things, a completely Justin-Timberlake-less version as well, at least as far as onscreen eye candy is concerned.
Based on a Dutch reality series, the MTV version will hide two cell phones at opposite ends of a major U.S. metropolis. The phones will ring at exactly the same time, and whoever picks up will be given five seconds to agree to the terms of the game and then be sent on a series of city-traversing missions guided by a mysterious voice and followed by a helicopter.
Should they succeed, per the network, a "huge cash prize" awaits them.
But really, the announcement of an MTV show that Speidi can't infiltrate may be prize enough.
Madonna's Candy-Coated Surprise

Madonna humped Justin Timberlake.
And I got to see it. Timberlake was the surprise guest at Madge’s one-night only show at New York's Roseland Ballroom tonight, and the chemistry between the two was hot as they were humping, bumping and grinding through "4 Minutes."
Despite the fact that she's old enough to be his mother, they really do make beautiful music together.
She mostly stuck to songs off the new disc Hard Candy, but the evening—including a laser light show—had a totally '80s feel to it.
Madonna's tracksuit had that vintage look (even though it was new Dolce & Gabbana). The backup dancers were practically break-dancing. And J.T. reeled off some of his best Michael Jackson-inspired moves.
There were a couple of glitches. Read on for those.Jessica Biel: Master of Disguise

It seems this Stealth star can be a bit clandestine herself.
"Sometimes I use my friends [as decoys]," Jessica Biel playfully admitted during a call-in to The Bert Show on Atlanta's Q100 station, when asked about how she eludes the ever-present paparazzi.
"My friends and I perform stealth missions to get out of the house, but I can't say too much, or I'll blow all my secrets."
The 26-year-old actress also reveals that while she occasionally does resort to wearing a disguise to sneak out, the best way for her to spend some quality time with her man Justin Timberlake is to simply "stay home."
Makes you wonder what disguises she's throwing on for J.T.
The Duchess Dazzles in Dolce and Diamonds

Diamonds—and rubies and gold—really are Fergie’s best friend.
The Black Eyed Peas frontwoman showed off a dazzling array of Cartier jewels during her joint birthday celebration with Quentin Tarantino last night in Las Vegas, with six different pieces that added up to being worth nearly $150,000!
Among the glamorous goodies were $52,100 white diamond and ruby earrings worn to the Mirage’s Jet nightclub, along with a matching $23,000 bracelet.
Is America the New Africa? J.T. Seems to Think So

I hear Justin Timberlake just donated a bunch of money to a U.S. charity. Is America the new Africa?
—Annette, Long Island
Well, gee, Paris Hilton did just canvas a South African children's shelter with photos of herself in a bikini. So if you're any sort of waif living near there, take heart. Looks like Hollywood still has you covered—in cheesecake, at least.
Some charity watchers insist that we are, in fact, witnessing a swing in Hollywood charitable giving—away from Africa, and closer to home.
As you mentioned, Justin Timberlake just gave $200,000 to fund music-education facilities in his home state of Tennessee. Brad Pitt has thrown his rather long shadow across New Orleans' Lower Ninth, helping rebuild homes for victims of Hurricane Katrina. And Katherine Heigl recently partnered with Clothes Off Our Back to auction off her red Escada Oscar gown to benefit both America's Second Harvest and African scholarships—among other charities.
Does it add up to a shift in trend? Some people think so.
"I would say there is definitely a trend in coming back to America," says Tim Saunders, a writer for Look to the Stars, a blog that follows celebrity giving. "Especially with elections coming up, people want to be more patriotic."
But then again, I see no downshift in international giving, at least when it comes to guilt-ridden white stars.
George Clooney just delivered another teetering pile of cash to the World Food Program, aiming to bring fresh aid to Darfur. Charlize Theron just launched a mobile AIDS-awareness clinic that tours around her home turf of South Africa. Look to the Stars still lists the Red Cross, Unicef and other international organizations as top beneficiaries.
And Britney is auctioning off her wardrobe from How I Met Your Mother to benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council, which aims to save the whole planet, particularly by speeding the greening of China. (One of her rust dresses is fetching bids upwards of $900. That's a lot of tree seedlings and baby pandas.)
So, until Kim Kardashian decides to film a very special episode of her reality show on the heroin-blasted streets of West Baltimore, I would say Africa is still the new Africa.
