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.
