Timbaland Sues Touring Company, Leaves Post-It On Papers That Reads, ‘Sorry, It’s Just The Way I Are’
9:36AM Clem Bastow | You’ll recall that about a month ago, Timbaland’s Australian tour was cancelled at the last minute with little to no excuse given to ticketholders other than “tough tits” (or words to that effect). Well, Mr Mose is now hopping mad at the Queensland-based Showtime Touring Group, who he reckons tarnished his reputation by way of a breach of contract when they publicised the tour cancellation, and he’s going to sue the XXL hoodies off them.
In the 18-page suit, obtained by The Courier-Mail yesterday, Timbaland’s lawyers revealed that their client wanted to “set the record straight” for his Australian fans about the “last-minute cancellation”.
“Despite Timbaland’s desire to perform for his Australia and New Zealand fans, he was unable to do so,” the suit stated. “From the moment the parties signed the contract at issue, Showtime breached its obligations.”

7:20AM Defamer Hollywood | Back Together: After Britney Spears skipped out on plans to record a Timbaland-helmed duet with Justin Timberlake for her last album (hmmm, maybe she’s been busy?) the NY Post reports that the pop singer and Timberlake are finally set to reunite for her album due later this year.

Too Late To Apologise: Timbaland Cancels Australian Tour
3:33PM Clem Bastow | Planning on getting along to an arena show to see Mr Mose on the beats and watch up-and-comer Keri Hilson in support? Tough titties if so: rapper and R&B producer extraordinaire Timbaland has cancelled his Australian tour (after already delaying it), with no explanation. The first of his dates was due to start this Friday in Sydney (i.e. TOMORROW) but R&B fans will be wandering around the city in a disappointed daze, sadly clutching their tickets and asking strangers if they have any hot beats to spare. Here’s the statement from Ticketek’s website, in full:
The Timbaland event will not be proceeding.
Showtime Touring Group & Timbaland apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Now that’s what I call good customer relations! So, in the scheme of tour cancellings, if “sickness” is usually a euphemism for “CBF“, how do we interpret a straight up cancel without explanation? More » This Is The New Madonna Song ‘4 Minutes To Save The World’
11:46AM Jess McGuire | Some thoughtful person has popped the new Madge single ‘4 Minutes To Save The World’ (a Timbaland creation featuring Justin Timberlake) up on YouTube. Revel in the French DJ shouting excitedly over the beginning while you can, we dare say it’ll be pulled quite shortly.
