Justin's new biography has a whole chapter on Britney - Eternal Allegiance

"Justin", a new unofficial but apparently well-researched biography of Mr Timberlake, written by Sean Smith, has just appeared in the bookstores.

It has a whole chapter on Britney.

The tone of the chapter is deeply respectful of her; there are no nasty or even adverse opinions. Even when speculating about the cause of the break-up and her possible infidelity, the author makes no attempt to blacken her character.

It tells how the relationship between Britney and Justin grew, the things they liked to do together, what the people in Justin's circle thought of her, and of course the break up and its consequences for both of them.

Sean Smith notes how curious it is that, in the light of her subsequent "fall from grace" and transition from good to "bad" girl, everyone in Justin's circle regarded her as lovely, sweet and innocent.

When his family met her, they were struck by her perfect skin and how she didn't use much make-up. Her physique was also striking - although one of the tiniest of the well-known girl singers, she was unusually athletic and well-built.

Justin's ideal girl is "blonde, with a big butt" and, in those superficial details at least, Britney must have seemed perfect for him. One wonders how Cameron Diaz - blonde with no butt - matches up to his requirements!

There is a lot in the book about what she was like when she was training to be a star - her intensity, her perfectionism, her total commitment and determination. Apparently even before she started her pop career there was such a buzz about her that other students were coming in and asking for her autograph!

All in all, her talent, ambition and loveable personality shine out.

Sean Smith, although clearly a massive JT fan, does admit that Justin got a lot more out of their relationship than Britney.

And although he points out that after the break up she "seemed to go completely off the rails", he acknowledges that her career has now taken an upswing. Not many commentators seem to have noticed that...

One intriguing passage in Britney's chapter is a discussion of her singing "now" and "then" with one of her former vocal coaches. Sean Smith remarks that her singing now is "highly stylized, within a very narrow range". But her old vocal coach talks about her having a loud belting-type voice and says that he "can't understand why she doesn't use any of that now".

^ WTF does that have to do with HIS book? Idiots. Fine I understand discussing her because they were together as a 'couple' but to mention her voice? THAT's stupid.

edit: to make some happy, yes she's never had a great voice, well maybe a tiny bit and now has lost it and will never get it back, yes she lips and will keep on lipping for the rest of her career, end of story. *cough*

What are you talking about??, they never say something bad about her, he just said that she used to sing in one way and now she sings in another but in his opinion her old singing style was better.

You know what?, this is actually the first time that i hear someone from the media is really saying that Britney's career is now back at the top thanks to "In the zone"... Britney not only prooved that she is here to stay, she also showed to them that she can survive after a bad time, just a few celebrities have done that.

Ehh...I hate when OTHER people write books about celebs. Now if HE wrote it, I'd be on my way to the store right now to pick it up, but I really have no interest in listening to someone else talk about his life.

Its unofficial so no wonder it has one whole chapter, I bet he hasnt even met Justin.
