Justin
Timberlake's Colorful Tribute to Madonna 3/11/08
Justin Timberlake inducted Madonna into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
on Monday night (10Mar08), with a saucy speech that dubbed her a control
freak and revealed how the Material Girl once gave him a vitamin injection
in the backside.
The singer also called his troubled ex-girlfriend Britney Spears a
Madonna "wannabe" in his cheeky monologue at the ceremony at New
York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
After silencing whooping fans, by shouting, "Shut up, it's not
about me tonight," Timberlake - who produced Madonna's latest album
Hard Candy - said, "People always ask if she is the control freak
people say she is. Hell yeah.
"We had a recording session in London and I wasn't feeling well.
She said, 'Would you like a B12 shot.'
"She reached into her handbag, pulled a ziplock bag of B12
syringes and says, 'Drop 'em'
"I don't know what you say to that, so I dropped my pants. She
gave me the shot in my ass. It was one of the greatest days of my life.
"That is what Madonna will always be to us. The shot in the ass
when we really need it.
"She's a woman on top and I'm sure she is enjoying that position.
"Nobody has got into the rock and roll of fame when they're
looking this damn fine."
Before welcoming the superstar to the stage, Timberlake found time to
poke fun at Britney Spears, cheekily joking: "There have been a lot
of wannabes, I may have even dated a couple of them.
"She has also kissed someone I may or may not have kissed myself.
Of course you know I'm talking about Sean Penn."
