Justin Timberlake Answers 'The Phone'

Justin Timberlake Answers 'The Phone'

Justin Timberlake announced at yesterday’s MTV Upfronts that he’s going to produce a new reality show for MTV called The Phone.

The Phone is based on a Dutch TV show, which pits contestants in a race against time and each other to accomplish a mission and win a cash prize.

Here’s a synopsis via Access Hollywood: Each episode will begin with two strategically placed cell phones ringing at opposite ends of a major metropolitan city. Once answered, a mysterious guide gives contestants five seconds to decide if they want to play the game.

If they accept, the competition begins, throwing the two contestants into an intense race, where they must communicate via cell phone to succeed.

The guide will also be communicating with the game players via cell phone, as a helicopter in the sky tracks their every move, exploit and error – with each failed task chipping away at the cash prize.

DO YOU THINK you’ll tune into “The Phone” this fall?

That’s ironic considering Justin is one who threw a hissy fit at the MTV award show last year begging them to start playing more videos and to stop with the reality shows. Hypocrite.

After he was so rude to The Hills girls and putting down reality shows at the awards, he’s going to be making a reality show?

I’m from the Netherland’s too, is it also called the Phone??

I dunno if I’ll tune in but I do know that this prick was very disparaging at the VMAS last year about reality shows. He lambasted MTV for having too many of them and he was so incredibly arrogant and rude to The Hills girls when they handed him an award. Hey JT, Michael Jackson called me and says he wants his career back. Stole his music and his moves. Classy.
