Justin Timberlake is not having a good week. You see kittens, it was rumored that JT was on the ‘short list’ of potential actors to play the “Green Latern” in Marvel’s upcoming big-screen rendition of the comic book hero. He squared-off against the likes of Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper. And as you already are aware, the role has gone to Reynolds who, thanks to his nice six-pack of abs and his legally binding agreement to boink Scarlett Johannsen, is much more marketable than the former boy-bander.

Needless to say, Justin doesn’t seem to happy and unfortunately, he decided to take it out on a poor little paparazzo who was merely hiding in the bushes at a West Hollywood hotel, snapping pics to sell in order to feed him family. OK. I am stretching it a little.

Via Celebitchy:

“There were several photographers there, and as you can see from some of the photos, when they first started snapping pictures, Justin looks really annoyed. Then something happened – we don’t know what. Either Justin Timberlake was in a horrible mood and he decide to take it out on one of the photographers, or the photographer said something nasty maybe, or said something personal. Either way, Justin got in this guy’s face. I would love to see video of this – the way they’re standing nearly nose to nose, I bet they were talking smack to each other under their breaths. Simply judging from the continuity of the photos, I think the paparazzo was the one to back down first.”

We can play the photo assumption game with this one since no one has come forward to state what the squabble was really about. I am thinking Timberlake was confronting the Pap in order to ask him why he wasn’t wearing William Rast jeans. But that’s just my take on it.

Several other gossipers are claiming that JT was annoyed that photogs knew of his whereabouts…apparently, he likes being sneaky. And several more are stating that it’s Timberlake’s own lady, Jessica Biel, who is calling the paps to tell them of the two’s whereabouts to help boost her image and squash any rumors that the two have broken up.

I know how you feel Jessica. I once called everyone in my phone book just to tell them Jackson Rathbone smiled at me in a hotel lobby. It was worth it.
