Madonna orders Timberlake to drop pants
Justin Timberlake has revealed that pop queen Madonna ordered him to drop his trousers so that she could give him a B-12 injection.
Speaking at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, where Madonna was honoured, the 27-year-old star said: "She proceeds to pull a Ziploc bag of B-12 syringes out [of her purse] and says, 'Drop 'em'."
"I don't know what you say to that, so I immediately dropped my pants," Timberlake said, referring to the incident as "one of the greatest days" of his life.
When Madonna later took to the stage, she said: "Everything he said is basically true, but I didn't say 'drop 'em,' I said, 'pull your pants down'. I like to be accurate because you know I am a control freak."

Hayden Panettiere - Panettiere Auctions Off Whale Watching Date
HEROES actress HAYDEN PANETTIERE has become the latest star to auction off a date - she'll take a fan whale watching in return for a hefty charity donation.
The actress will spend a day with the winning bidder and guests on the high seas in August (08).
The whale watchers will be joined by marine expert and conservationist Jeff Pantukoff.
The eBay.com auction, which runs from 20 to 30 May (08), will benefit The Whaleman Foundation, which is Panettiere's favourite charity.
Panettiere's deep love for sealife became clear last year (07) when she risked her life by joining protestors in the waters off the coast of Taiji, Japan and attempted to stop fishermen from killing dolphins.
Since then, she has further championed the cause by lending her name to the Save The Whales Again! campaign and heading to Washington D.C. to confront the Japanese, Icelandic and Norwegian embassies about their hunting practices.
The auction is a Save The Whales Again! venture.

Somewhere 'tween performance graphics and dancefloor trance, Rabbit in the Moon was formed in Orlando, FL, by frontman Bunny with producers Monk (Steve McClure) and Confucius (David Christophere). Similar in flair to Keith Flint's status as nominal frontman for the Prodigy, Bunny provides to the highest degree of the visual entertainment during the act's frantic live prove -- his costumes more in keeping with a horror film than a rave -- while McClure and Christophere take up care of all the programing. The trio recorded several singles for Hallucination ahead debuting on Hardkiss Records with the 1994 single "Phases of an Out of Body Experience." Rabbit in the Moon provided remixes for an compartmentalization of artists, including Goldie, Orbital, Sarah McLachlan, White Zombie, Cosmic Baby, and Garbage -- many self-possessed on Cony in the Moon Remixes, Vol. 1. The trio as well collaborated with Humate on a couple of singles for Superstition, and in 1999 issued the uncut FlooriD.A., as good as a sequel to their first remix collection, capably coroneted Remixes, Vol. 2.

The heavy, psychedelic acidic rock candy of Iron Butterfly may seem dated to some today, only the group was i of the first-class honours degree knockout rock bands to receive panoptic radio receiver airplay, and their best-known birdcall, the 17-minute heroic "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," established that more than extended compositions were viable entries in the radio market place, pavement the way for progressive AOR. The path was written by singer, organist, and bandleader Doug Ingle, wHO formed the first incarnation of Iron Butterfly in 1966 in San Diego with drummer Ron Bushy. After the grouping stirred to Los Angeles and played the golf-club scene, it secured a recording sign and got national exposure through tours with the Doors and Jefferson Airplane. Following the release of their 1968 debut album, Ponderous, original members Jerry Penrod (basso), Darryl DeLoach (vocals), and Danny Weis (guitar) left the dance band and were replaced by guitarist Erik Braunn and bassist Lee Dorman. Weis went on to join Rhinoceros. The new card recorded In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida later that year, which sold iV jillion copies and spent over a year in the Top Ten. (The title has been translated as "in the garden of Eden" or "in the garden of life-time.") A shortened version of the title track, which contained extended instrumental passages with loud guitars and The followup, Ball, showed greater musical kind and went amber, but it also marked the beginning of the band's go down. Braunn left hand the group and was replaced by guitarists Mike Pinera and Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt, but the group's success was for the most part all over. Iron Butterfly stony-broke up in 1971; Braunn and Bushy re-formed the group in the mid-'70s without success.
