A Sudden Respect

...for Justin Timberlake, of all people: from Reuters: "Timberlake won Best Pop Video, Best Dance Video and Best Male Video -- a category in which he beat out Johnny Cash, a rock and roll legend old enough to be his grandfather.

"'This is a travesty, I demand a recount,' Timberlake said when accepting the Best Male Video award. 'My grandfather raised me on Johnny Cash ... and I think he deserves this better than any of us here tonight.'"

Between this and his muted response to his abuse at the SARS-Fest concert, I have to admit the kid's earned a few points from me. Whoda thunk it?
