Nellyville features guest appearances by members of Nelly's St. Lunatics posse, including Ali, Murphy Lee, and Kyjuan. The set also includes guest performances from Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland (on "Dilemma") and *NSYNC's Justin Timberlake (on "Work It". ) Nelly hooked up with *NSYNC earlier this year for a remix of the group's hit single, "Girlfriend." He shared with LAUNCH his thoughts about working with Timberlake once again.
"What we were trying to do there, man, was trying to make something that was believable, you know what I'm sayin'? I ain't gonna come on there and have Justin singing about six folds and switches, and my hood, and stuff like that because it's not believable. No one's gonna believe that @#%$. So, it was, like, 'Yo, what can me and him go on that he's gonna feel comfortable--I'm gonna feel comfortable--and we're gonna do our thing?' And @#%$, there was girls, so we was, like, 'Work It,' you know what I'm sayin?' And we came up with a hot little track in about, you know, a day or so. We put it all together on paper in about 12 hours and stuff, you know?"

Everyone get ready to see your fav celebs doing HUMAN BOWLING at this year's Challenge for the Children. The 2-day event held in Orlando
will include a Skills Challenge Saturday afternoon and a Celebrity Basketball game on Sunday. Both events will raise money for *NSYNC
charity, Challenge for the Children which donates money to various children's causes. The Skills Challenge this year they are adding
Human Bowling and a Gigantic Obstacle course. Other skill challenges include Shaq Shoe Race, Half Court Hustle, "You Got Aim". and a 3
Point Contest.
In other CFTC news, Melinda posted on NSYNC.com that only disposable cameras would be allowed into the venue. Last year in Las Vegas,
security and fans were confused about the camera policy and many fans were left frustrated and angry. Melinda writes, "The only cameras
that will be allowed into the CFTC events will be Instamatic Throw-Away Cameras. No video cameras, no digital cameras, no cameras with
detachable lenses. There will be no exceptions".
(25/6) Justin's Album is Too Crazy
Source: NY Daily News, Just Justin
Hip-hop producer Timbaland is making a prediction: "The boy band thing is over."
And, says the man who collaborated with Missy Elliot and the late Aaliyah, *NSYNC's (grrr) Justin Timberlake won't have any problem
breaking out of the boyband mould.
Timbaland thinks Timberlake's new solo album will show the world he's so much more than Britney's ex. And he's promoting it because he
produced it.
"Justin's album is too crazy. The stuff I did for him is Michael Jackson all over again," Timberland says.
Comparing the *NSYNC frontman's talent to the King of Pop does seem like a stretch. But if he waits until bandmate Lance Bass gets back
from that trip to outer space, maybe Justin can get pointers on his moonwalk.
(21/6) JC on *NSYNC's Hiatus, Their IMAX Film And Filming Star Wars
Source: launch.com, Just Justin
With *NSYNC having played their last date on the Celebrity tour, J.C. Chasez is getting a chance to regroup and settle back into life. "Now
that we're taking a little bit of a break, I'm moving into my house and getting normal for a little while, which is cool," he says. Then
again, there are these little things to worry about. "There's all the crap that you don't think about that you take advantage of when
you're at your parents' house that you need to get a hold of now. I've got to go out and buy plates and silverware and stuff like
that."
While *NSYNC fans might be missing the band as Chasez shops for housewares and Lance Bass is up in space, all it takes is a traipse
down to the movie theaters to see 'em onstage. The IMAX feature Bigger Than Live is now in about 20 theaters across the States.
The group accepted the IMAX offer, which was filmed during the No Strings Attached tour, in a snap. "There are only a handful of people
that have done it in the first place," Chasez says, "and to be in the category of those people, like the Rolling Stones...They proposed the
opportunity for us and we took it right away, because we wanted to do something different. It's a unique experience." He takes a breath and
then admits with a laugh, "I'm not going to lie--it's awkward to see your head five stories tall. But it's wild."
Five-story *NSYNC heads? There must have been some band teasing going on there. "Oh man, we all made fun of each other. I kind of get poked
at the most, because I'm the most critical. So everybody's always pointing out whenever I screw up," Chasez says with a laugh. "That's
just the way it goes, I guess." Though some of those screw-ups got edited out, Chasez, who's the band's audio and video technical
wizard, likes leaving in certain ones. "You don't want to take away from the whole vibe of the show. We want people to kind of laugh
about it as well," he explains. "So certain things I leave in, because you'll see us laughing and smile a little bit, and that kind
of stuff brings character to the show."
As the band gets the big treatment in the IMAX theaters, Chasez reports each member will be working outside of the group before
getting back together. "We kind of always reinvent ourselves, but now I think we're in a position where--after cranking out five albums in
the last four years, one being a European album--we're going to push ourselves a little bit more," he says. "We're giving our ears a break
from ourselves, so we can step out and be creative. The whole idea behind it is that we're each going to go out and listen to different
things and write with different people, so that when we come back we have this melting pot and it becomes this whole new thing."
As for a timeframe, Chasez says *NSYNC will regroup "once Lance gets back from outer space." That's a funny way to put it. "Yeah," he
laughs. "It's pretty cool, though." Of course, Chasez and some of his bandmates got to have their own cool experience recently, acting as
extras in Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones. "Oh man, I can't even tell you how cool it was," Chasez raves. "It's a childhood
fantasy. We were dressed in Jedi outfits and I got to carry a light saber." So, Bass gets to go to space, and Chasez got to be a
Jedi. "Exactly," Chasez says. Not a bad trade.

(20/6) Spears Sick of Timberlake Talk
Source: dailynews.yahoo.com
No matter where Britney Spears goes, she can't escape the reminders of her recent breakup with 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake.
"You go out to a club, and people say, 'Are you fine? Are you fine?' And it's like, 'I'm here, aren't I?'" the 20-year-old pop singer says
in the July issue of InStyle magazine. "What if I was some weakling and I was like, 'Whaaa!' Crying!"
Spears says she and Timberlake, 21, split amicably: "We're climbing two different mountains. His priorities are different from mine right
now."
After being friends since their Mickey Mouse Club days as kids, and three years as a high-profile couple, she says they still talk
frequently. But she admits it wasn't easy seeing him photographed at a Hollywood club with a brunette.
"Of course it's gonna kind of hurt sometimes, and you wonder things," Spears says. "But you learn from it and grow. I'm trying to get to
that point."
