The ‘SexyBack’ singer has reportedly employed a literary agent to send out a short synopsis of the planned tome, in the hope of securing a publishing deal.
The book is said to be a memoir which follows “Timberlake’s time on the green and his experiences playing with various competitors”.
Agent David Vigliano got in touch with several editors last month, it has been claimed.
Justin’s love of golf is well known, and he plays with an impressive six handicap.
The 28-year-old singer owns his own golf course - the Big Creek Golf Course near Memphis - and has previously admitted his proudest moment relates to the sport.
He said: “I loved appearing on the cover of Golf Digest magazine. I’m not going to lie. I mean, I’m done. I don’t have to do another magazine cover ever again.”
It has also been claimed Justin refuses to take to the course with his girlfriend Jessica Biel as she is such a strong competitor.
A source said: “He prefers not to play with her since she’s gotten so good. It’s too bad because he got her into golf in the first place.”
If Justin does publish a book
on the sport he won’t be the only famous person to have done so.In 2008, rocker Alice Cooper penned a tome called ‘Golf Monster: A Rock ‘n’ Roller’s Life and 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict’.

On Dating:
“I’d rather date someone who’s regular. But what often happens is that she faces huge criticism like , ‘Why her? She’s Miss. Ordinary’ ”On the type of women he likes:
“Be an independent woman. I love that……”
“But at the same time don’t be ashamed to, you know, throw your toys on the floor and let me pick them up.”On relationships:
“There is something quite devious about my personality,” he confides with a sly grin. “I’ll do all the right things. I’ll be the upstanding gentleman but behind closed doors, I want to let loose. As long as I know my secrets aren’t going to get out. You know what I mean?”Idris on His Previous relationship and 7 Year Old Daughter
“It’s complicated when you were once an item and then you’ve got this child who is so untouched by the drama that you both had…..I understand how people get hurt and have arguments. But we work through it.”

I figured I would get DAWN’s lips because she will be mine forever and I’m hers forever, so why not. It’s the best example of how honest I am in my relationship and about our love. Her lips and her name is an example to others that it’s ok to LOVE YOUR GIRL. It’s an example on how to be HONEST. I actually got her name when we started getting serious , so I had that way before the lips on my neck. I’m sure there will be more tattoos to come.
If you want to be a better person you have to “ be honest with yourself and it ‘s ok to be in love and be proud to love your girl”. You don’t have to cheat because people tell you it’s not cool to be with one person. If you’re happy, do you. When you love yourself others will see that in you and do the same. They have no choice but to respect it.
Brit Brit reportedly collapsed during rehearsals in Paris. A doctor was immediately rushed to her side.
“She collapsed when the dancers went to put her back on her feet,” a source told the National Enquirer.
“She fell to the floor and landed on one of the dancer’s legs — and the dancer’s tennis shoe smacked Britney in the chest and on her face. It hit her chest with such a force that it caused a four-inch bruise.”
Although Britney is physically strong and works out regularly, she reportedly doesn't eat right or get enough rest. “Her schedule has wreaked havoc on her body,” the source added.

According to TMZ, Red City Entertainment claims they put up $432,000 for a performance in the Bahamas on September 27th of last year. Everything was set up…lights, cameras, etc. But you can’t have a show without the performer! Lil Wayne had passed out in his hotel room. Police went to his room when he was a no-show, and found him out like a light.
Red City is suing Lil Wayne for the amount they paid him upfront, his hotel expenses, and the costs incurred for throwing a concert that never even happened.
R&B singer Brandy Norwood is in search of a new record deal.
BV Buzz has learned exclusively that the 30-year-old singer was just dropped by her label Epic Records because of the lackluster sales of from her comeback CD, 'Human.'
Released on Dec. 8, 2008, the CD has only sold 196,509 units to date according to SoundScan.
"Her friend Brandon Creed that works as an A&R representative at Epic Records has been making calls to see if other labels would be interested in signing her," a record company source told me.
In addition, Brandy has also parted ways with her management.
The former 'Moesha' star had been represented in recent months by Jay-Z's Roc Nation Management.
The McComb, Miss.-bred singer's relationship with Roc Nation supposedly dissolved because of "creative differences."
A rep for Roc Nation did confirm the split to BV Buzz.
"Roc Nation no longer reps Brandy," the publicist Jana Fleishman said in an e-mail yesterday.
A source tells me that Brandy's business relationship with Roc Nation "is what kept Epic Records from dropping her months ago." Since the singer is no longer repped by the firm, the label "didn't see the benefit in giving her another album."
"She was signed to Epic when Charlie Walk was president of the label. Now that Amanda Ghost is president, she is the one who decided to let Brandy go," the source explained.
Coincidentally, Roc Nation had also represented Ghost, who in addition to being president of Epic Records is a Grammy-nominated songwriter who has written for Beyoncé, Jordin Sparks and Shakira.
Brandy's last CD 'Human' was her first release in more than four years and her debut album for Epic Records.
Prior to signing with Epic, the singer had recorded exclusively for Atlantic Records, where she released four CDs before parting ways with that label in 2005.
A rep for Brandy denied that the singer has been dropped from the label.
"They have not dropped her. We are trying to get a release from them. We're in waiting," her rep told me, before adding: "And Brandy and Roc Nation parted amicably."
BV Buzz's call to Ghost's office was forwarded to Elisa Goldman in the publicity department. That call has gone unreturned.
A message was left for Creed as well, though he has yet to respond.{Source}
Yes, that is the correct cost! The city has set up a donation website to help with the fund, altogether $17,000 has been raised so far.There were so many visitors to the site that it crashed and had to taken down for 12 hours. The Mayor of LA. Antonio Villaraigosa is now asking people to go back to the site to donate their money. Even though,
Los Angeles is $530 million in debt.
The amount included $1.1 million in overtime pay for the 4,173 police officers who worked to secure Staples Center, Forest Lawn cemetery and other areas that attracted more than 17,000 fans and members of the media, the Police Department said in a statement.
The remaining amount was spent on traffic control, cleanup and other memorial service costs.
Plus Drake Interview with MTV
While Drake works on his debut LP, Thank Me Later, the Toronto MC said there is no method to any of his madness. If he gets inspired to spit rhymes on a track, he’ll get to it. If he wants to croon to a beat, that’s what it will be.
“The balance of singing and rapping has been blurred ever since I did So Far Gone,” he said of his breakthrough mixtape. “I mean, I don’t really have a formula for that. I don’t say, like, ‘OK, I can only sing this hook or I want to rap this.’ I just really hear a beat, and it’s like, ‘If I can write to it on a hip-hop level, if I can pen some raps to it, then that will work.’ And then maybe after I do that, I’ll get in the booth and sing a little part of the verse.
“I like to do that,” he continued. “I like to incorporate singing into my verses. And then I feel like it allows people a break from just constant rapping, rapping, rapping, you know? I think it’s great to incorporate melodies into the songs that I write. And yeah, my goal is just really to make a song that after I listen to it, I’ll just be like, ‘Man, people are going to know the words to that.’ That’s the best thing. I think I’m doing it right, ’cause when I go to the shows, people know the words to the songs, and that’s good.”
Drake has the video for “Best I Ever Had” out right now and says he’ll probably be appearing in front of the cameras for more clips soon.
“There’s talk to do a ‘Successful’ video,” Drake said. “Also, you know, I’m shooting the video to ‘Digital Girl’ with Jamie Foxx and Kanye West and The-Dream. And then there is another song that we have that we might shoot a video for, for the album. So as far as videos go, there is some more potential chances to see [me].”
KING: Now, what about all the rumors about you and the fathering of those children?
KLEIN: Here’s the most important thing. Michael loved those children as a father. Those children loved him as a father. As far as I am concerned, that’s the most important grouping that is.
KING: That’s not answering the question.
KLEIN: No, because I’m not going to answer it the way you want me to answer it, because…
KING: Well, you can say no.
KLEIN: I can say no, then. I will say no if that’s what you want to hear.
KING: No, I want to hear what you know.
KLEIN: What I will tell you is I think what’s most important thing about this whole thing, to end this thing, is that the most important thing in who the father is who the father is — who the children want their father to be.
And I will tell you this, I will say no, because the most important person to these children is how Michael loved them and how he loved his children and how they loved him. Because they would never pass him without saying, I love you, daddy. He would say I love you. I’ve never seen such emotional care…
(CROSSTALK)
KING: Earlier today, you said you couldn’t answer that one way or the other.
KLEIN: I still can’t answer it absolutely one way or another.
KING: So that means you donated sperm?
KLEIN: I once donated sperm. I don’t know that you have to know…
KING: You donated to him.
KLEIN: No, absolutely not.
KING: Oh, you donated sperm to a sperm bank.
KLEIN: Once, to a sperm bank. But I don’t think I should go over my legal affairs, because I think to the best of my knowledge, I’m not the father. I want to tell you that this discussion, however, is between Michael, his children and this person. It’s not to be discussed who the father is over national television…
KLEIN: if they want me to take a DNA test, they can have my DNA. I don’t care at this point.
KING: Your concern is the kids.
KLEIN: My concern is his kids because I’ve never met children like this. These are the brightest children I’ve ever met, the best behaved children I’ve ever met. They come over my house, they behave wonderfully. I know how deeply he loved them and how deeply they loved him.
KING: That’s obvious. KLEIN: I don’t want to destroy this relationship in any way, shape or form. I’ll tell you this, no matter what, I will protect these children…
KING: About the children, this is hypothetical. If you were the parent, this is hypothetical, would you go and talk to them? Would you do something about it? Would you let it ride?
KLEIN: If I was the parent, I would spend every moment of the day with the children.
KING: You’d become their father?
KLEIN: Absolutely.

On her fans following her style: “I knew my style really resonated with my fans when they dressed like me at my shows-that was pretty insane. And it was so cool to see them change with me. For the second record, I wore bondage pants and started putting black in my hair, and they started showing up looking like that too.”
On her clothing line Abbey Dawn: “I wanted this clothing line for so long, I wanted to do it right. I didn;t just want a Licensing deal; I wanted this to be my line, and I wanted to put everything I have into it. I’ve been planning it for years. It’s my own personal style-everything I love.”
On settling down: “I see the fast pace continuing for awhile. I don’t want to settle down. If I’m going to have kids, it’s not going to be until later. I have a lot I want to do, and I just want to have fun.”
On her new album reflecting her increasing maturity, but not leaving out her youthful pop-punk side: “I’m a young spirit-I like to jump around and have a lot of fun. I have a side that’s really feisty and a side that’s sensitive and mellow. I’ve always loved playing ballads, but I also enjoy rocking out, so I like to mix it up.”
