Justin Timberlake is going
from LoveSounds to The Love
Guru.The former Mouseketeer's
movie career continues to take
off as he joins Mike Myers,
Jessica Alba and Verne Troyer
for a comedy.The film, Myers'
first original creation since
the groovy days of Austin
Powers, follows an orphaned
American boy who is raised in
an Indian ashram by a group of
gurus. As an adult, he moves
back to the U.S. to seek out
fame and fortune by becoming a
self-help guru and is quickly
enlisted to patch up the
differences between a Toronto
Maple Leafs hockey player and
his wife.Timberlake has signed
on to play Los Angeles Kings
hockey star Jacques Grande,
who begins dating his rival
skater's estranged wife out of
revenge. The hookup sends the
Leafs' player into a
professional funk, much to the
chagrin of his team's Stanley
Cup-seeking owner, played by
Alba, and coach, played by
Troyer.Production kicks off in
Myers' native Toronto in
September, shortly after
Timberlake wraps up his
worldwide tour in support of
FutureSex/LoveSounds.The Love
Guru turn will mark the second
time the Grammy-winning,
Emmy-nominated Timberlake will
team with Myers for the big
screen: They recently lent
their voices to the summer
juggernaut Shrek the Third.
The film also reunites Myers
with Troyer, his own personal
Mini-Me.Timberlake's other
credits include Alpha Dog, the
straight-to-DVD Edison and
Richard Kelly's dark comedy
Southland Tales, opening Nov.
9.However, his TV work has
generated better reviews. Last
year's hosting gig on Saturday
Night Live resulted in an Emmy
nomination for Outstanding
Original Music and Lyrics for
his YouTube sensation
collaboration with Andy
Samberg, 'Dick in a Box.'In
the meantime, Timberlake is
also up for more hardware,
including a leading seven
nominations for the MTV Video
Music Awards, the Las
Vegas-bound show in which he
is also set to
performâ??solo. His rep has
already shot down the
wishful-thinking rumors that
he will team up with Madonna
for the show.Before then, he's
also set to appear at this
weekend's Teen Choice Awards,
where he will be gifted, via
satellite, with the extra
special Ultimate Choice Award
for his perpetual domination
of all things cool in movies,
TV and music.
