Justin Needs an Attitude Adjustment

Justin gave his throng of awaiting fans a wave leaving his Goteborg, Sweden hotel room on Monday, but over the weekend his behavior wasn't so friendly. A column in local paper Aftonbladet reported that when one young fan asked to take a picture with JT he said, "Do you want me to juggle for you as well?" While another local column has video of Justin taking pictures of the pestering paparazzi saying, "This is the picture of an a**hole." Obviously I can only imagine what it would be like to be constantly followed, but he's gotta know it comes with the territory at this point. Plus, being nasty to innocent fans is a pretty jerky way to go. I wonder what Jessica thinks about all this? Maybe his attitude can explain her long face.

    I still really like his music but he's becoming less likable by the minute. Get over yourself! I hate celebrities that are jerks to their fans. They seem to forget that fans are what make that sort of lifestyle possible. And yes -- I couldn't imagine having to deal with paps every single day and I do sympathize with them to a certain point, but it is also a choice to pursue this kind of a job and it comes with it.

    You might want to review the policy here. It's not okay to attack and insult other users.

    JT's need for an attitude adjustment is nothing new.

    Plus they manage to get pics of him at every turn but not when he's supposedly doing the things that they said he did that would make hot news?

    Idiots for thinking that people would believe them without further investigation. What am i saying...people did believe them.

    I'm not sure I believe much of what I read about this guy - there seem to be so many conflicting stories...i think i'll just let this one slide

    I read the so called "fan" was a paparazzo asking to take a picture with him after he stalked the crap out of him throughout his overseas trip.

    I give JT the benefit of the doubt A LOT because I realize there's a lot of gossip out there and people like to paint celebrities as these awful, arrogant people but when there are tons of stories that come out each week about what an ass he's being, it makes you wonder if it isn't at least half true.

    If you look at his relationship with Cameron it seemed like she was the one who hated the paps. Now it seems like he wasnt so innocent in all of the ridiculous stuff he did back then. I also personally believe that if you are going to make money by having people buy your art then you have to accept that you will be in the public eye constantly. After all it is the public that pays for his lifestyle.

    I've said it too many times, but he really is a cocky selfish boy. NOT a man.

    While I do think he's needed an attitude adjustment since 1998, I don't buy this story.

    "Do you want me to juggle for you AS WELL?" Um. Right. Doesn't sound like 99% of Americans. When was the last time you heard a phrase like this? Brits need to adjust English to American when they make up stories about Americans.

    Uh, this is not new Justin Timberlake behavior. Am I the only one that remembers EVERY SINGLE PICTURE of him when he was dating Cameron, he was scowing & name calling the paps?

    OK Justin, let's see what happens when no one cares anymore. I'm sure you will want the attention back.
    GET OVER YOURSELF.

    I also don't want to hear about how "hard" it must be for him. He is a celeb & is promoting a multi million dollar movie that put money in his pocket. It is part of the package. Smile & deal Justin.

    I'm not buying this story, I let him the benefit of doubt, I mean, we don't have proof (like a picture or a video) about the young fan thing, a friend of mine has worked with him, and she told me that he was a sweetheart when you see him in person.

    "While another local column has video of Justin taking pictures of the pestering paparazzi saying, "This is the picture of an a**hole."

    Uhm.. this didn't happen in Sweden, it happened in Norway.And vitaamine, there is pictures of him in Sweden spitting at his fans, throwing a beer bottle at them etc...Why give him the benefit of the doubt on this story (Actually I believe there is a video of this somewhere too)

    I agree, maybe somehow I don't want to believe this either :/ I'm always doubtful about the paps since I've been watching every episode of Dirt lol..

    What are the photogs like in Scandinavia? I seriously doubt that they'd be nearly as bad as when he's here. I saw some raw footage from Sweden, I believe, and they weren't bothering him at all.

    I don't doubt it's possible he is an ass, as is typical of just about any superstar. I can only think of George Clooney as a global superstar who has any class, but he didn't become a star well until adulthood.

    Everything on gossip sites is speculation. We all know this. Never confuse actual journalism (think: Murrow, Cronkite) with damn gossip. If you want serious journalism, then pick up The Economist.

    Besides, if we were to rely solely on celeb interviews, which are just PR exercises (celeb gets publicity, media outlet sells), we'd just be fed bullsh*t. And, to be fair, this site has "Ohmigod! Justin is amazing!" stories.

    Oh puhjleese have you all forgotten when Cam and him had a real scuffle with a pap it's not like his behaviour is new and for all those calling other idiots and fronting and saying the paps suck if it weren't for those sucky paps you wouldn't be sitting there looking at his photos right now or at all so you should be a little mroe grateful cos those paps give you what you want lol. He needs to grow up, cos this is what he signed up for. Seems like the ego has landed.

    I watched the video of him calling the photographer an *sshole and I didn't think it was so awful. He was making the joke about the guy being a jerk and stalking him while he was out sightseeing with his girlfriend.

    Funny, I've had a friend interview him and she said he was a pompous ass. He's always had an issue with the paparazzi, even when they are at PUBLIC events, the kind of events paps SHOULD be allowed at. And I have seen him turn his back on a fan and laugh at her because she wanted an autograph. This wasn't an adult fan, it was a little girl. He needs to afdjust his attitude. At one point, he was a sweet kid, but got too big for his britches.

    well, i guess he has his moments.

    people tend to break loose more on the news on celebrities' bad side rather good.

    maybe he has had a rough day, and having the paps hogging him makes it even worse.

    although the fan thing is not necessary, he might have accidentally lose it. we all have, once in a while.

    I don't like him. I haven't really liked him as a person for some time. I don't buy his albums even though I do think he is fairly talented but then there are a lot of talented people out there. If people like him and like his music thats fine, they can buy it. You support him and thats cool but I can't support someone who acts the way he acts.

    His stock is going down, fast.... He always seemed like such a nice guy but there's something very unmanly about choreographed dance moves! Sexy? Good looking? NOT! Talented? Sure, he has his "thing". Now he really seems to be letting his ego get out of control though. I know things can be taken out of context or a mountain can be made of a mole hill, but I don't know, I think he's changed in the past year or two.

    Sounds like his mom- and YES, it goes with the territory and it was his (and his mom's) choice to be in the entertainment industry.

    Well, who knows if that really happened that way, though on the other hand, JT has been an @ss before. *shrug*

    I still don't like him, or his music. And I'm getting tired of reading about him every day. (I know I don't have to read any articles, but it's difficult these days to avoid them. *sighs*)
