Like him or hate him, Justin Timberlake is like a modern day Gene Kelly. He is a triple threat.  

Tom Hanks is our generation’s Henry Fonda.

Steve Buscemi  is our Peter Lorre.

You get the idea.

    Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!! hold on there! Justin Timberlake is no modern day Gene Kelly, don’t insult the man. Gene Kelly was the biggest homophobe in Hollywood and a real bastard at that.

    Ummm….Is there something I’m missing from that video? It was just normal T&A (featuring Hef). The video at the link didn’t have anything but the song though. I do think Timberlake is kinda talented, if you like that kind of music. I still haven’t forgiven him for his part in the Janet Jackson mess. He let her take all the blame and he got very little attention. Of course, I think that whole Janet Jackson brief nipple flash was a whole lot of sound and fury for nothing. I just didn’t like the sexist way Janet Jackson was treated.

    Please expand your pop culture knowledge beyond SNL, WSTW and HBO. How would you classify Hugh Jackman and Mandy Patinkin?

    So where does Carrot Top fit into this mix?
    And who is the Gallagher of this generation?

    Carrot Top = Jerry Lewis?
    Gallagher = The 3 Stooges?

    Who is Julia Roberts?
    Sean Penn = ?

    UI –

    How can you insult Jerry Lewis by comparing him to Carrot Top? Carrot top is a tool.

    Comparing the 3 stooges to Gallagher? He is more useless than Carrot Top. And they brought joy to people who did not live in France.

    Sean Penn?

    I think Brando (minus a million pounds and a lot more staying power – can’t wait to see ‘Milk’).

    I can’t stand Jerry Lewis (misogynist) or the 3 Stooges.

    I guess if you’re thinking in terms of popularity today’s popular comedians are Jim Carrey, Robin Williams and Adam Sandler.
