Hey, Justin Timberlake here. Just checking to see if you senoritas are n*sync with my plans to bring sexy back to reality television. Next season, MTV's going to rock your body with a new reality game show called "The Phone," to be executive-produced by yours truly. Here's the premise:
Each episode will begin with two hidden cell phones ringing at opposite ends of a major city. Contestants who answer the phones will get to go on a timed mission for a cash prize. While they're racing through the city, a helicopter will track their every move. Kind of like that scene in the Bourne Ultimatum where Matt Damon's trying to get that journalist dude to follow his instructions—but sexy. Also nobody's going to get their heads blown off.
What? You think this sounds unbelievably lame? You're not lovin' it? Well buddy, cry me a river, because last time I checked, I was Justin Timberlake and you weren't. I get to do things like make out with Scarlett Johansson and have four cellphone channels devoted to my life. I think I would be the king of knowing what's lame and what's not. Where is the love, man? God, you guys are such dicks (in a box). [Reuters]

Please, no.
Uh, I remember distinctively Justin Timberlake saying at the MTV VMA"s that "MTV Play more music videos, we don't want to see these reality T.V. shows." So for him to to this, produce a reality T.V. show, shows a man who can't stick to his word and therefore I'm completely against this show before it starts, if it does.
give me my time back
Well there is one more channel to block very soon
(i block channels that play really pointless crap like non-stop so far the ones that are blocked are MTV and Much Music
And this is on Gizmodo, because there are cellphones in the show?
Well I'll watch any show with a cellphone in it.
This is why I don't watch much television....
Sounds like an awesome idea!!
Oh wait, they don't have Matt Damon and a $80 Million budget for each episode?
Oh, this is gonna SUCK!
Use GPS and give us a map with a red line leading to where they are at that moment. In 3D, broght to us by Frito Lay.
Up to the second tracking of the pigeons errr...contestants is imperative.
Just run with it. Trust me.
If you need me I'll be over watching the History Channel.
I wanna see how World War II turned out.
Whoa, he made out with Scarlett Johansson?
Hey, John Mayer here. Just thought you might like to see how I make songs.
+ Watch video
(Sorry, this post just reminded me of the Apple-Mayer fiasco, and thus, this video)
Justin accept the fact that you are a rich white boy and not "Gangster"
I think Justin's idea is pretty solid, but with a twist ... the winner takes a shit on Timberlake's face, or kicks him in the balls and pisses on him when he's down.
That would make me rofl.
if this ever becomes a real show I'm going to have two phones ring in a city, tell them their on the show The Phone, and then make them run around/dance like idiots.
In other words, with asses like me out there this is bound to end in tragedy.
Justin Timberlake sucks.
Hey MTV you don't remember what happen in boston with cartoon network.
Each episode will begin with two hidden cell phones ringing at opposite ends of a major city and next homeland security will be firing at the person whom answers it.
ummm...

No!
Does this "phone" have 3G?
Justin Timberlake gets his own spot on gizmodo!? I WANT MY OWN SPOT!!! GIMME ONE PUHHLEEAAASE,lol. I AM WAY MORE INTERESTING...not as cute as that curly haired cutie, but CMON! lol
Imagine, if you will, how thrilled Penny sounded when Sheldon volunteered to go grocery shopping with her. Imagine, if you will, that her level of excitement at that moment ranked at at a 10 on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the happiest). My level of excitement upon hearing this still falls somewhere below 0.
@carmen89: Oh come on, you already have a star.
people... this is not a reality show, it's a game show. They will not be taping people in a house or falling in love or all that crap. This is more like the Amazing Race. and the fact that each episode has new contestants makes it much better. Just focus on the race and the win, not the "reality" of the people
For the record, Scarlet is with Ryan Reynolds, you know - the other white boy.
@rich70734: i didn't ask for the star (but thanks!) but i'm asking for this! lol
Honestly who the hell gives a shit about justin timberlake and his crappy ass t.v show that won't last more then 1-2 seasons. Now if it's about him nake...wait still don't care.
@rich70734: How did she get a star already? =o*( I've been trying forever, lol
@P3nnst8r: yeah...how the hell did i get a star?! lol
if they name this "4 minutes to Save the World", i will die from laughter.
No no no no no no no. This is a terrible idea... unless they use iPhones... haha
@carmen89: I guess u grace the gizmodo pages with epic presence. My gracing only comes in light form.
Some day a Gizmodo faerie will get its wings, and i'll wake up to that gray star sitting next to my name. *sigh*
@P3nnst8r: you poor baby :(
if you want I can go in a field and have people spell out your screen name and i'll blow up the gray star and put it text to it...take a picture with a helicopter and email it to you,lol? deal ok!?
@carmen89: Those stars are a bitch to catch. Ask Mario. They keep on bouncing away from you.
@P3nnst8r: i caught one :)
See what happens when you wish upon a star?!
You forgot that people who watch MTV are people who like all the crap that they put on MTV without even trying to form an opinion of what real entertainment should be.
Justin Timberlake here. You assholes are going to love my show, because not only do you get to hear my voice, you get to see mindless TV-whoring rubes like yourself follow my instructions, like the unsexy meat puppets that they are, and I'll have you all naked, by the end of this comment.
@Kaiser-Machead:
Wait, we were supposed to be wearing clothes? Crap.
@Kaiser-Machead: Lance Bass here. You're hot. I've always had a man-crush on you.
@carmen89: Well, ill try tonight!
@P3nnst8r: To the moon Alice.
What?
Im a passive man. Mostly. Does anyone else want to stab Ashton Kutcher in the face with a rusty spoon. Giz, please for the love of god, i know you need sponsors and what not, but lay off on the Ashton spammage.
@DozeUser: best channel-blocker is not having a tv;-)
@tranism: who is Ryan Reynolds? And, for the record: who is Justin Timberlake? :-D
@carmen89: and you also already have a spot
Me thinks there is a gadget-pr0n convention this weekend that Gizmodo is not officially covering.
How else can you explain that it's only ladies writing today.
@yogibimbi:
I agree on the channel-blocker idea!
The show was bought from a Dutch TV-company, and is successful over here. Guess anything goes when stoned! Lacking 3G speeds just doesn't matter when your baked.
Who the hell watches MTV anyway? Last time I checked, MTV spent the better part of the late 90s making itself irrelevant by endlessly running "The Real World" and/or "Road Rules" and which it continues to ruin with "The Hills".

@OMG! Ponies!: What you said.
What OMG! Ponies! said, everyone.
@OMG! Ponies!: Thanks for mentioning this. MTV has sucked hard for well over a decade. Also, why is this on Gizmodo?
Hmm sounds interesting enough. Also it's on Gizmodo because it has something to do with phones.
"Also nobody's going to get their heads blown off." Well colour me disappointed.
