Wouldn't disrespect ANYONE personally!' Justin Timberlake denies calling Britney a b**** onstage

She famously began her 2007 hit song Gimme More with the line: 'It's Britney, b****.'

But Britney Spears fans were none too thrilled to hear her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake refer to the pop singer as 'some b****' during his pre-Super Bowl concert in New Orleans.
The incident occurred when the 32-year-old newlywed was performing his first concert in five years to a packed A-list crowd at the DirecTV Super Saturday Night.

'Sometimes in life, you think you found the one,' Timberlake said. 'But then one day you find out that she is just some b****.'

The Suit & Tie hitmaker then launched into his 2002 breakup anthem, Cry Me a River, which was reportedly inspired after the Toxic singer's alleged affair with Justin's choreographer Wade Robson.

Relax! Once word spread of Timberlake's onstage banter, the Social Network actor felt the need to reassure Britney's fans that he has nothing but respect for his ex

Once word spread of Timberlake's onstage banter, the Social Network actor felt the need to reassure Britney's fans that he has nothing but respect for his ex.

'Ok. I see you. Wouldn't disrespect ANYONE personally. Ever,' Justin tweeted on Sunday to his 16 million followers.

'#Relax #ItsBritneyBitch I do love that saying though *with accent* #Respect.'

The former Mousketeers, who literally met as children on the Disney series, dated between early 1999 and March 2002.

Timberlake's comment was mostly surprising due to his outspoken support of the troubled pop star, whom he hasn't spoken to in over a decade.

'We were two birds of the feather - small-town kids, doing the same thing,' Timberlake told Vanity Fair in 2011.

'But then you become adults, and the way you were as kids doesn't make any sense. I won't speak on her, but at least for me, I was a totally different person. I just don't think we were normal; there was nothing normal about our existence.'

The ex boy-bander wed actress Jessica Biel last October and he's about to release his forthcoming LP 20/20 Experience.

Meanwhile, Britney has stayed mum on the whole ordeal and, according to a People Magazine source, she's rumoured to be in 'advanced talks' for a residency at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

The eccentric starlet further fueled speculation when she replied to a tweet from her dog Hannah asking if she (the pooch) was allowed to gamble.

'I don't think so honey #VivaLasVegas :)' Britney tweeted Sunday to her 23.6 million followers.

Since quitting The X-Factor and calling off her engagement to manager Jason Trawick, the Circus hitmaker has been looking as disheveled as she did in 2008.

With the exception of a trip to church last month, Spears has been mostly photographed in smudged eyeliner, sweatpants, pajama shorts, and Ugg boots.

However her new video with will.i.am for Scream & Shout just clocked in 103 million views on YouTube.
