Justin Timberlake Scores 1-Hour Special With The CW
Continuing with his extremely aggressive promo campaign for The 20/20 Experience (in stores March 19th), Justin Timberlake will now have a concert special of the channel that everyone kind of forgot about. From L.A. Times:
The network that’s home to eternally youthful vampires and a chiseled bowman will air the music special titled “Target Presents the IHeartRadio Album Release Party With Justin Timberlake” (breathe here) on March 19 at 8 p.m. ET/PT (an encore will air March 22).
The special will feature the 32-year-old pop star discussing the making of his long-anticipated new album “20/20 Experience” — a preview of which is already making the rounds on iTunes — along with performances filmed during the release party at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. O, and an eight-minute music video, will be thrown in for good measure.
UPDATE: M.I.A. In Custody Battle Over Her Son
UPDATE: M.I.A. has been hit with a restraining order preventing her from leaving Brooklyn with her son. From NYP:
Rapper M.I.A has been banned by a court from taking her and Benjamin Bronfman’s son out of Brooklyn, where they live separately following their split last year. Sources exclusively tell Page Six that Bronfman, the son of music mogul and Seagram’s heir Edgar Bronfman Jr., got a restraining order in Kings County Court after M.I.A allegedly threatened to take their son Ikhyd, 4, to her native London. A source tells us, “M.I.A has been texting and calling Ben, saying she will take their son to London, even though they both live in Brooklyn and the child goes to school there.” The source added, “Ben filed a motion for a temporary restraining order preventing her from taking their son to the UK against his wishes.” The court granted Bronfman’s petition, and M.I.A was served with the legal paperwork last night.
I don’t know the disconnect that’s led to this, but apparently M.I.A. is entering into a fight with her baby’s daddy over her own son. She gave birth to baby Ikhyd with Benjamin Bronfman in 2009. Story developing…
