Timberlake 'Humbled' By Africa

Aug 8, 2006 - World Entertainment News Network

Pop star Justin Timberlake has hailed his charity trip to Africa as one of the most grounding experiences of his life, because no one recognised him.

The singer recently accompanied girlfriend Cameron Diaz to Tanzania and was stunned to meet people who had no idea of the couple's fame after years in the media spotlight.

And despite initially thinking the locals were "celebrating" because of their excitement at meeting the Hollywood stars, he was quickly humbled when he realised the cheering was nothing to do with them at all.

He recalls, "We arrived in this village and people were celebrating. We weren't sure why they were celebrating."
"First we thought they might have recognised us, but we were humbled to find out they hadn't a clue who we were. They were celebrating because they finally had a well with drinking water."

"See, there are still some places where being famous doesn't mean anything! It really was a humbling experience."

No shit, Sherlock. Most people in Africa have more important matters on their minds than noticing some silly, overrated, pop singing douchebag.

Did they humble you enough to stop singing? Your new song is fucking terrible.

I hate that song Sexy/Back!

Me too, I hate that "song" SexyBack. How is that singing??--it's just someone whimpering!!!!

However back on track, remember Justin's been in the spotlight since he was a little tyke on Mickey Mouse club w/ Britney, so according to him, he REALLY did think the world revolved around him.

If he is sincere, then this is a fantastic experience for him.

It's not even sexy, it's just downright creepy. That, and the mechanics of the song are hoooooorrible.

well, perhaps he and cameron along with branglina can hightail it over there to live where they'll never be recognized and where noone will ever realize that he can't sing.

That song, the video - it all sucks hairy ass!
