Posted August 14, 200618 yr Source: Launch Timberlake speaks of British roots (Sunday August 13, 2006 11:16 PM) Singer Justin Timberlake has revealed that he has British heritage. The star says research on his family tree has revealed his roots reside in the UK. Timberlake, 25, tells GMTV: "I've had my genealogy studied and I want to say that I am of British descent. "There was a British lad who was in a war, not sure which war, but he ran away from the war because he fell in love with an Indian girl, and that's where my family tree started." He tells Kate Garraway: "I grew up in a small town. If I showed you where I lived you'd really think I'd come a long way." The singer, who is dating Hollywood beauty Cameron Diaz, said: "I had really awkward hair and terrible skin and I was really scrawny, I looked like a 'broccolini', not even a broccoli. "I looked like a broccolini because I was long and skinny and (my hair) blossomed out on the top - I was a really weird looking kid." The full interview can be seen on GMTV on Monday. My I also remind you that his fabulous new single is out in a couple of weeks ^_^
August 16, 200618 yr Cool thanks for postin i think britney,xtina & mariah have a little irish in them(not sexually of course) i think from their mother´s side of the family.
August 16, 200618 yr Justin is just saying that to get the the good side of the Press. He is basically kissing their ass if you ask me :smoke: Yes, Mariah mother is from Tipperary in Ireland, or something like that anyway :smoke:
August 18, 200618 yr Oh well, I guess that'll make him eligible to be a contender for next year's Mercury Music Prize then.... :lol: :lol: Just what is it with some Americans that they have to bang on about having these 'roots' in different places..? Not enough to be just American, it has to be IRISH American, or ITALIAN American, or AFRICAN American..... My folks originally came from Ireland, but I dont bang on about being IRISH Scottish..... -_-

August 23, 200618 yr I think its a bit like saying you are German because you own a German Sheppard. :dance:
August 23, 200618 yr To be honest I dont see why everyone is complaining and making a fuss. He said he has british roots? And? Big deal, no need to all turn against him because he said that
