Justin Timberlake talks to Oprah Winfrey about Britney Spears

**CherryDarling** · September 19th, 2007, 09:34 AM

When Justin was a teenager, he was involved in a highly publicized relationship with a fellow pop star—Britney Spears. The pair met on the set of The New Mickey Mouse Club in the early '90s. They dated for a few years before splitting up in 2002.

Recently, Britney has been making headlines for out-of-the-ordinary behavior.

Oprah: What do you think is going on with Britney?

Justin: I don't know, to be honest with you. I haven't spoken to her in years. I mean, there's no ill will—I have nothing but love for her. It's funny because we dated each other at a time…wow, I haven't talked about this in a long time. It's interesting.

Oprah: But you've never talked about it to me, so it's okay.

Justin: Hey, let's get it in, girl.

Oprah: Let's get it in.

Justin: We were teenagers, you know?

Oprah: Yes, famous teenagers.

Justin: I think that's basically the best way to describe what happened to us. I think she's a great person, and I don't know her as well as I did …. What I do know about her is she has a huge heart, and she is a great person.

He also thinks Jessica Biel Smells good..

Justin has been involved in a few high-profile relationships in the past, but he's keeping his latest romance under wraps. "I'm dating someone," he says. "But all I can tell you is she smells lovely."

Oprah may not get a name out of Justin, but he does share a few secrets about his personal life. "I get pretty romantic around her," he says. Justin admits that he even sings to her sometimes.

While he's away on tour, Justin says he stays connected to his mystery woman through iChat, a computer program that lets you see the person you're talking to with a webcam. "Technology is a wonderful thing sometimes. … I find that to be really cool, when you can actually see someone's face. I do it with my friends, as well, just to have a conversation back and forth. It just makes you feel closer, that's all."

Dating isn't easy—especially when your relationship gets played out in the public eye. In a past interview, Justin said tabloids create soap operas out of people's lives. "If two famous people are dating each other, what I found—and I could be wrong—but just in my personal experience, [they think] if you're not going to get married, then you're breaking up."

Uh ... you can do that with Yahoo and MSN, too.

**Sweetie** · September 19th, 2007, 10:10 AM

Like I give a shit what Justin or Oprah has to say.

**Bijoux** · September 19th, 2007, 10:10 AM

At least he didn't talk shit about Britney.

She dosn't need that right now.

**Grimmlok** · September 19th, 2007, 10:12 AM

I would have preferred if he DID talk shit about Shitney, might send her over the looney edge.

**aabbcc** · September 19th, 2007, 10:20 AM

He really didn't say anything at all. I'm still trying to figure out the point to this article.

I don't know...Justin always seemed classy to me when compare to his peers.

**MrsMarsters** · September 19th, 2007, 10:33 AM

Justin: We were teenagers, you know?

I think that just about sums everything up. He is an idiot. HOW DOES THAT EVEN ANSWER A QUESTION!!!

**crackho** · September 19th, 2007, 10:45 AM

Hmmmmm. His "my new girlfriend smells good" line could be taken as a direct reference to one of his old girlfriends smelling like a 3 day old fish taco that was left out in the sun on a hot July day. For some reason, this makes me think of Cameron.

Yeah but they probably didn't pay him to say that

Exactly. He said nothing of substance. Does he ever?

I think maybe he is trying to insinuate that people make the assumption that he knows everything about her life now, but don't realize that they were just teenagers when they dated. Very young, very immature.

He knows that when he dated her as a teenager, she was a fun and sweet girl. They broke up, went their separate ways, and didn't really stay in touch. I think he's commenting on how it's weird that people expect him to know privileged information or deep dark secrets about her current personal life.

I don't think most people, myself included, could tell you anything personal or private about the current lives of their high school or even college boyfriends/girlfriends.
