According to Radar Online, that masterful introductory speech JT recited at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame on Monday night was more than just a fun series of anecdotes about Madonna's B12 shots and Britney putdowns. For those on the scene, it was a painful series of awkward silences and lame attempts at humor, made even more painful by Justin's Norton-like tries at improvising some jokes of his own:

"Timberlake's attempts at humor flopped, and breaking into a falsetto sing-songy funnyvoice after botching a scripted line didn't help...When he finished, the NSYNCsman was asked by one of the producers if he 'felt good about the speech.' 'Yeah. I mean, how is everyone else's [speech]?' Timberlake replied nervously."

We're actually quite saddened to hear this news, mainly because we so thoroughly enjoyed nearly every pitch-perfect second of his 2005 hosting duties on Saturday Night Live. There was the super competitive hot dog, the Target employee with a chapstick addiction, and the dead-on revenge-impersonation of Ashton Kutcher swiveling out of his mind on Punk'd. And then, in his December 2006 return, there was that digital short that had everyone under the age of 80 extolling the virtues of dicks in boxes. So what happened? We guess JT is only as funny as the cue cards the SNL staff has written for him. Oh well, at least this won't hurt his budding film prospects playing Very Serious roles.

And while it doesn't compare with a simulated blow job, it may be more effective in today's health-concerned times. It seems that when Justin and Madge got together to work on her next album, Hard Candy, she dipped into her bag of tricks and fetched a liquid-filled syringe. And even though the injections in question didn't contain GHB or roofies, they did have this desirable effect on Timberlake:

"I don't know what you say to that, so I immediately dropped my pants. She gave me a shot in my ass and looks at me and says, 'Nice top shelf.' That was one of the greatest days of my life."

Alas, those needles were simply filled with B-12, which you'll recall as being Lindsay Lohan's favorite vitamin. Sigh. After that confession, Justin went on to not-so-subtly take a jab at poor Britney Spears by alerting the presses that he may have dated a few "Madonna wannabes" in his past, but it was Madonna's rebuttal that ultimately pleased the crowd. Never one to miss a chance for public displays of sexual repertoire, Madonna took the stage and line-edited Timberlake's tale: "Everything he said is basically true, but I didn't say 'drop 'em,' I said, 'pull your pants down.'" While she might be getting older, we're glad to see that Madge hasn't lost touch with her "Human Nature" era dominatrix ways.
