Justin Timberlake is shaking his “Mr. Sexy Back” reputation for something more like “Mr. Sexy Backwoods.”
Timberlake took an A-list New York Fashion Week crowd to Tennessee for his William Rast show on Sunday, treating the likes of Vogue editor Anna Wintour to buckets of Budweiser.
Jeremy Piven, Kevin Connolly and Emmanuelle Chriqui of HBO’s “Entourage” were among those squished in the front row with Andy Samberg of “Saturday Night Live,” model Rachel Hunter and actress Carla Gugino. The runway was set like an extended front porch to a run-down house, complete with a mounted deer head and the Tennessee state flag in the window.
Asked about his inspiration, Timberlake said, “It’s a lot of stuff, but old Tennessee, new Tennessee - mostly Tennessee.”
Timberlake has said he doesn’t want to be known as “Mr. Sexy Back” forever, although he’s not complaining about the attention.
“I don’t want to be known for just one thing,” he said backstage, nursing a cup of hot tea for a sore throat. “Maybe that’s why I do so many things.”
The William Rast spring collection, designed with Swedish designer Johan Lindeberg and his Italian wife, Marcella, was what Timberlake and partner Trace Ayala said they’d always been shooting for.
It was hard to imagine the celebrities wearing torn jeans and rolled up jean shorts paired with leather and fringe - some of which looked more suited to the pages of Guns & Ammo than Vogue. But tailored leather jackets looked more refined, along with super-short, super-wide ties like the one Timberlake wore on the “Fashion Rocks” red carpet.
Timberlake also presented a movie-style trailer where he plays an outlaw character named William Rast - a combination of his and Ayala’s grandfathers’ names - as a promotion for the brand.

Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award nominations differ quite a bit
“Into the Wild,” Sean Penn’s harrowing drama about Christopher McCandless, a young man who traveled the country after graduating from college only to perish in Alaska, lead the 14th annual Screen Actors Guild Award nominations announced this morning.
The film was nominated for four SAG awards — best actor, Emile Hirsch; supporting male actor, Hal Holbrook; supporting female actor, Catherine Keener; and best ensemble.
The gripping legal thriller “Michael Clayton” and the dark contemporary western “No Country for Old Men” each received three nominations.
Apparently the criteria between the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award organizations are very different. The actors in “Into the Wild” were shut out in the Golden Globe nominations a week ago. Meanwhile the casts of ‘Atonement’ and ‘Sweeney Todd’ that did so well at the Golden Globe nominations are shut out of SAG awards.

From the looks of Elisha Cuthbert’s dress and hair at the GQ “Men of the Year” party last night, it seems that she didn’t realize what magazine had invited her. Maybe her publicist hates her and told her she was going to a party for Rachel Ray’s Every Day with Rachel Ray magazine. Or, maybe she just didn’t want to look hot. Well, mission accomplished there!
While Megan Fox was all legs and Emmanuelle Chirqui showed off her “girls,” Elisha came with a butch haircut, a scowl, and hardly a trace of skin. Thumbs down for this look, Elisha. Seriously, if you’re going to an event for a magazine whose readers are virtually all male, you maybe should deduce that you’re expected to look hot.
Well, at least these girls played the part right . . .
