Yeah, but he mostly does R&B and that's always local. The argument of impact between these two is silly anyway because both of them as solo artists have very little.

I don't want to talk about this at length, but when Justin Timberlake put out his song and video, and then later started talking publicly about your relationship, how did you react? Were you pissed off? Were you hurt?
I think I was in shock, to be honest. I didn't know what to say, what to do. That was the last thing I ever thought somebody might do. I was really shocked shitless. But you live and you learn.

Did you call him up or say anything to him?
Well, actually, [laughs] he called [laughs]. I'm gonna break it down right now, OK? You want the scoop? You want the truth? Here it is. He called me up and asked me if it was OK. I can't believe I'm telling you this right now. But who cares.

He called me up and wanted to get back together or whatever, but behind it was, "And by the way, you're in a video that's coming out." That kind of slipped in. "Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal." So the record label called and said, "If you want to change this, you can." I had the power to say no to the video. But I didn't because I thought, "Hey, it's your video."

Had you seen it?

I hadn't seen it. Then it came out and I said, "I should've freakin' said no to this ****!" I was like, "Whoa! What is going on right now?" But, hey. And I said, "Why did you do this?" And he goes, "Well, I got a controversial video." And I was like, "You did! [claps her hands, as if a dog that just preformed a trick.] Yay for you!" So he got what he wanted. I think it looks like such a desperate attempt, personally. But that was a great way to sell the record. He's smart [laughs]. Smart guy.

I agree. His new music has been very dance, so there's no reason for him to be local anymore.
