Let’s hear it for the boy! Or for publicity! Or for generating publicity, more specifically, using the wide world of social media!<\/p>\n

Announcing he’s “ready,” Justin Timberlake sent out a cryptic Tweet this morning, listing only a specific date and time. (#spooky) <\/p>\n

However, this wasn’t a new film role, or follow-up wedding announcement, or even the actor’s commentary on a DVD re-issue of “Alpha Dog.” Yes, friends and loved ones: Justin Timberlake is going to make music again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Or at least that’s what we can deduce from the mysterious video<\/a> that appeared on his YouTube channel, showing off JT in full fedora-wear (read: wearing a fedora), and standing mysteriously near or around a recording studio where he announced he was “ready.” For what? Easy: perhaps for another teaser to the teaser he began with a teaser. OR, more likely: music.<\/p>\n

Regardless, we will find out in three days, which is what the countdown clock<\/a> on Justin’s website probably (hopefully?) means. Word on the street is that there’s a song with Beyonce and Jay-Z somewhere in the works, as well of news of an actual album.<\/p>\n

What do YOU think? And more importantly, what do you think about the fact Justin obviously spent time alone recording a voiceover and probably had a friend or Jessica Biel walk around their house filming him? <\/p>\n
