That the best revenge is to live well is an absolute certainty. To see enemies content is frustrating enough, but to see them flourish is even more sickening (Gore Vidal even hated to see his pals accomplish big things, famously saying, "Every time a friend succeeds, I die a little.") So why does Justin Timberlake—one of music's biggest current successes—still get pleasure from publicly humiliating Britney Spears, his ex, whose name and career have been sullied ad infinitum?
In these videos above, taken at a recent UK concert, Timberlake covers Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" and changes the lyrics to "They tried to make her go to rehab and she said no, no, no." Next, he does the Gnarls Barkley hit "Crazy," singing, "I remember when, I remember when she lost her mind." Of course there's room for speculation as to whom he's referencing, but it seems fairly obvious.
Apparently living well isn't the best revenge for Justin. Being a stupid, bitter, malicious crybaby is. I think that's crazy.

Granted Britney is totally nuts, but Justin is a dick.
what a jackass.
I agree Cord!
Hes such a tit!
Wow…what a pussy. She must have really broke his wittle heart.
Klassy.
The first one, especially coming right after Cry Me a River, is totes about Brit. The second, though, well - isn't Cameron nuts as well? Maybe he was going on a "slag the exes" tour?
Has anyone heard the "remix" that Jay-Z did for "Rehab"? It sucks. But at least Jay-Z he has the balls to name names (not like Justin Timberlake), albeit the names he mentions are dead celebs. But whatever the point is the remix sucks and Justin is a petty bitch.
"So why does Justin Timberlake—still get pleasure from publicly humiliating Britney Spears"
Because he has a small penis.
He knows by singing songs like that he gets publicity like this.
Seems very petty,immature and a little bitchy. Why would he care how Zit Zit is behaving after all this time? Oh yeah, JT is pretty damn fugly too.
i like it. it was just a way to spice up his show — i don't see the big deal. and besides he's only singing what we're all thinking.
Given that Spears has been giving interviews blaming everyone but herself for all her problems, going so far as naming names, relating anecdotes and threatening to write a tell-all, it's not really surprising that some of those people she's accusing might want to strike back.
For some reason, perhaps because they're shallow and addicted to any kind of attention, a lot of "celebrities" seem to be unfamiliar with the concept of the necessity of maintaining a boundary between public and private life.
