You can’t say he lacks ambition.
He’s got the second-largest grossing concert tour of 2007, his own clothing line, his own record label, a super hot girlfriend, and now he’s opened up a soul food restaurant in New York City!
Along with the help of some old buddies, including business partner Trace Ayala and club operator Eytan Sugerman, pop entrepreneur Justin Timberlake was all smiles at the grand opening of Southern Hospitality in downtown Manhattan.
It supposedly offers the cooking of JT’s hometown, Memphis, even including some plates based on Timberlake family recipes.
Let’s just hope Justin has better luck in the restaurant biz than his ex-flame Britney Spears, whose Nyla was one of the all-time fiascos.

oh…that hat…not flattering JT
JT makes my eyes hurt.
he looks like the biggest doosh
“downtown” … i thought it was in the upper east side which would be uptown darling … This will be a huge flop, no self respecting manhattan resident would be caught dead at somewhere like this … it will only appeal to tourists from THE SOUTH!
I love Justin…hehehehe- I do.
Anonymous- the word is “douche”…I really hope you were joking when you posted your comment.
parissucks- who gives a shit!
I hate when he wears these hats, they make his forehead look ginormous! Not that I would kick him out of bed or anything…
I hope the restaurant does well. I think a lot of people like southern food, regardless of where they live. Also, his restaurant in LA has done well, so he hopefully knows enough of the right people to make this thing work. I’d eat there!
I love me some Justin but I don’t think this is gonna work out….we’ll see.
Also, I give a shit. I cant stand when people make stupid mistakes like that. Especially when you are sitting at a computer, all you need is a quick trip to google or wikipedia, and you’d be all set. If you’re not sure of something, it takes seconds to look it up. It’s not that big a deal.
thank you hiedi. I always say, just because we are gossiping, we don’t have to be STUPID.
saw him in “black snake moan” and “alpha dogs” .. didn’t impress me AT ALL! but, you’re right Heidi.. I wouldn’t kick him outta bed (well maybe if he wears that ridiculous hat)
ha, DOUCHE is my favorite word.. better spell it right!!! LOL
umm that food looks so good. hahahahah…is it lunch time yet?
doosh is in urban dictionary- that’s good enough for me on a celeb blogger website
what are those people smoking? soul food in Manhattan…? um, no…
I have plenty of words on urban dictionary- a lot of the shit is MADE UP. Using that site for a spelling reference is idiotic.
lol! PSL you are too funny!
Instead of putting down an entire region/culture why don’t some of you just say that you won’t go personally??? But to say that “no self-respecting Manhattan resident would be caught dead” @ a soul food restaurant is insulting. Heidi’s right, maybe you just don’t understand that a lot of people enjoy Southern food.
It’s got nothing to do with ’soul food’ … no self respecting manhattan resident would be caught dead at a cheesy celebrity restaurant … perhaps in the mid-west or south it would work but not manhattan
He’s about seventeen different kinds of greasy in that picture. I’m sick of him but I LOVE Seth Green. He’s too good for the ‘trouserworm’
JT is just putting his name out there to get the word out, NYC will come as well, Eytan Sugerman has quite a reputation and Manhattan gravitas.
So who then has the highest grossing concert? Madonna?
hahahahahaha @ seventeen different kinds of greasy! i’d definitely kick him out of bed…yucky! but I’ll take some southern food in ny, down south, up north–anywhere. yum!
Seth Green looks cute!
And now, thanks to ‘me’, we know that folks from Manhattan are above the rest of us. So that concept only works in the south and mid-west???? Because at last check, I could’ve sworn there were several “cheesy” celebrity restaurants in L.A., too. Sounds like someone feels a little self-importance over living in Manhattan. The rest of us are not impressed.
who’s the hot burnette?
Considering that most Manhattanites are not originally from New York, It’s safe to say that they’ll be lining up for some Southern cuisine.
Is that Jamie Lynn Siegler or whatshername… “Me” you sound like a stupid bitch, stop trying to act all sex in the city, you’re embarassing yourself!!
