Justin bieber Love

Award winning singer Justin Timberlake has accomplished a lot in his career.

But now he can add Indy 500 winner to his resume.

Kind of…

In a remarkable finish to this year’s race – rookie JR Hildebrand was leading in the last lap but then crashed into the wall with only half a lap to go.

This set the stage for second place Dan Wheldon to cruise to his second Indianapolis 500 career win.

But what made this win special for Justin Timberlake?

Timberlake's William Rast clothing line-sponsored Wheldon’s #10 Target Chip Ganassi car this year.

William Rast clothing is sold through Target so it was a logical move for Timberlake to sponsor the tem.

Timberlake took to twitter moments after the final lap saying,

"What a Memorial Day weekend! The William Rast car just won the Indy 500. Congrats to Dan Wheldon, the WR racing team and everyone else who put in the hard work for this victory! Unreal!"

It is not unusual these days for Hollywood to be part of the big race.

In fact, David Letterman is partners in “Rahal Letterman Racing” with friend Bobby Rahal. Their big catch is driver Danica Patrick who has raced for their team since she started.

This was an exciting race this year, and some of the drama started before the first car even left the pits.

It seems that our good friend (not) Donald Trump was scheduled to drive this year’s pace car but at the last minute was….. wait for it…. FIRED!

Thank you Indianapolis.

We could not have stood by and watched that douche bag on the track. After getting Trump out of the way, A.J. Foyt was given the honor of driving the pace car this year.

For his part, Timberlake can now go back to making music and poking fun at Justin Bieber on Saturday Night Live.

He is also currently working on the movie “Friends with Benefits” with pals Mila Kunis, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson, Andy Samberg, and Jenna Elfman.

The film will show that while trying to avoid the clichés of Hollywood romantic comedies, Dylan (Timberlake) and Jamie (Kunis) discover that adding sex to their friendship really does lead to complications.

“Friends with Benefits” is scheduled for release in late 2011.

We all laughed at Justin Timberlake and Adam Samberg last week on Saturday Night Live.

But there was one sketch that never saw the light of day.

During a dress rehearsal for a “Mozart” sketch, in front of an audience of 300, Timberlake took a few shots at teen sensation Justin Bieber.

The plot of the skit was that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was going to take a break from his music career to become an actor. His friends scoffed at the idea asking,

“You’re nor one of those musicians who think they can act are you?”

After mentioning that he had already been in a movie about a “Social Network” and appeared on the “Austrian Mouse Club”, his friends told him they would rather go to work for “Wolfgang Amadeus Bieber”.

At this point, Timberlake says,

“Amadeus Bieber? You might as well put a wig on a chipmunk and tell him to act like a black man.”

The audience erupted in laughs.

The jabs seem to be aimed at Bieber’s guest role on the popular “CSI” crime show where the singer was ultimately gunned down, and his concert movie “Never Say Never” that Justin said would not be a concert movie….. but was.



But we think Bieber could have taken the jabs, as he himself has hosted and performed on the show several times.

We suspect the skit was pulled at the last minute in order to stop the media outcry for using the word “black man”.

Hollywood can be a fickle place.
