It looks like Lindsay Lohan is more of an annoyance than a help these days. Justin Timberlake has reportedly refused to let Lindsay Lohan into his Saturday night concert at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, because he doesn't want Lohan stealing the spotlight.
That's not the only reason Lindsay Lohan was banned
from the concert. Life
Style Extra reports that Justin Timberlake
" doesn't want her ruining his image."
The British tabloid, The
Sun quoted a source as saying " Justin's
gig will be packed with Hollywood A-listers and a lot
of important names in music. The last thing his label
want is Lindsay getting hammered and making a spectacle
of herself, taking attention away from Justin and his
new album. He has a lot riding on his big comeback and
he doesn't need any distractions. His people reckon
any association with socialite liggers like Lindsay
are bad for his image and career"
Lindsay Lohan had her people call for tickets to Justin's comeback concert. Lohan reportedly asked for VIP access as well as a meeting with Justin Timberlake, but was promptly denied by Justin Timberlake's people.
Justin Timberlake, 25, is in Los Angeles to promote
his new album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, and to back
his already popular single, "SexyBack".
After his time with the Mickey Mouse Club, Timberlake
joined the boy band N Sync. He stayed with N Sync from
1996 through 2002, with fellow members Lance
Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick.
After having hits like "I Want You Back", "Tearin' Up
My Heart", "Bye Bye Bye", "It's Gonna Be Me" and "Pop,
Timberlake went solo. His first album, Justified,
features hits like "Like I Love You", "Cry Me A River",
"Rock Your Body" and "Senorita". His new album, FutureSex/LoveSounds,
already has its first single, "SexyBack", playing on
the radio. Timberlake has also appeared in films such
as Edison Force, Alpha Dog, Black Snake
Moan, Southland Tales, and will appear with
girlfriend Cameron Diaz in Shrek 3.
As for Lindsay Lohan, she has suffered from a poor
reuptation ever since James G. Robinson, the Morgan
Creek producer of Georgia Rule wrote
a letter accusing Lindsay Lohan of acting
"like a spoiled child", citing "bogus excuses for [her]
behavior." As well, Lindsay was dropped
from her record label, and had a public spat
with socialite Paris Hilton. Things don't bode will
for the 20 year old bubblegum queen.
