Justin’s Beyonce Crush Was The Final Straw For Spears

Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that sources close to *NSYNC star Justin Timberlake say he’s very smitten by Destiny’s Child ‘middle one’ Beyonce Knowles. Justin’s rep laughed off the report saying he’s “not very” serious about his crush with Beyonce. Some have speculated that his one-sided fascination with Knowles that was the final straw that broke the back of his long romance with Britney Spears. Meanwhile, Britney’s relationship with choreographer and dancer Brian Friedman is said to be developing, “It’s in the early stages, but she sure seems taken with him.”
