Justin Timberlake and his fans have something in common, besides wearing ‘Princess’ t-shirts and thinking Aaron Carter is hot. They’re both scared of spiders. Justin Timberlake has confessed his arachnophobia is so bad he refused to enter his hotel room after spotting a spider lurking inside, and had to call hotel reception to get a member of staff to get rid of the tiny creature for him.
He told Britain’s Smash Hits magazine: “I’m really, really scared of spiders. I just hate them. I was staying at a posh hotel and I had to call reception because I spotted one in my room. I was too scared to get rid of it myself.”
Unless this spider was at one point feasting on orc-flesh in the caves near Mount Doom, I have a hard time feeling sympathy for Justin. If you have to call a five foot, fifty-year-old mexican grandmother to take care of bugs in your luxury suite, perhaps it’s time to re-evalute your life. And by re-evaluate I mean end. And yet, somehow, he’s with Cameron Diaz.

I’ve always said that when you are an ex-boyband member, you really don’t have any room to do or say things that make you sound like a big wimp. Being afraid of spiders falls into this category. Just shut your mouth Justin. Throw a dictionary on that thing and don’t tell anyone.

Not boyband, Jenny. It’s “man-choir.”

Why do I have this strong urge to to start singing Boris The Spider by The Who?

I don’t know . . . Spiders ARE pretty freaky. However, if there is one in my room, it’s not a big deal to make the biggest wad of tissue paper ever and kill that sucker myself.
If I can do it, you can too, Justin!

I’m afraid of spiders also. I just call Hillary when I see one, She loves them. When she see’s a spider she will drop on all fours and chase it around batting with her hands and tossing it in the air and catching it in her teeth. Once the spider is too tired to play any longer she just eats it. God I love her.

If I ever have the misfortune of winning front row tickets to one of Justin’s concerts, I’m going to make it worth my while by bringing along a jar of spiders and releasing them on stage at the right moment.
Mr.Timberlake will be screaming and crying in a very similar fashion as to what Dakota Fanning did in the movie, War of the Worlds.

This is sad. This is so sad. When I have more courage than this guy . . .

Hey, Justin’s NOT a woman! Don’t lump in all of femalekind with him, we don’t want him either.
HollyJ | November 23, 2005 at 9:20 pm
Yet more irrefutable evidence that Cameron Diaz is, despite her perky good looks, a complete waste of proteins and water.

I personal too hate spiders but if justin timberlake called me up to his hotel room to kill one i would place 5 more in there just so that he would tell me to retreieve them too … and then i would take his underwear:D

Didn’t Cameron Diaz used to go by the name C.C. Deville? You know, back when she was hot.
LaydeeBug | February 7, 2006 at 3:12 pm
Doesn’t surprise me. I can see Cameron is the one in charge. Spiders Justin, please. The only place you have to worry about spiders is in Australia. Spiders do NOTHING but good, you asshole. Spider-killers are donkey-raping shit-eaters in my book.
LaydeeBug | February 7, 2006 at 3:16 pm
I Loooove Spiders. I NEVER kill spiders (unless he get’s stuck in my vacuum cleaner. I won’t go after him; he should’ve moved).
