Justin Timberlake celebrated his 22nd birthday last Friday night with a party in Los Angeles. Christina was among the attending guests, which also included Alyssa Milano, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, J.C. Chasez, and Pink.
Two small bits of news from the UK, Christina performed on the saturday morning show CD:UK i presume she sang "beautiful" but i missed the show.

Justin Timberlake are set to tour together, here's what Justin said about the Christina "She's got one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard," he said. "That homegirl can sing. She can release a song like 'Dirrty' and get everybody talking, and then release a song like 'Beautiful' and say, 'Look, this is why I am standing here.' She's bad. That's the Christina that I met on the TV show that we did ['The All-New Mickey Mouse Club'] , and that's the Christina that will be around 10 years from now."
One of reasons Timberlake is eager to hit the road with Aguilera is because he's confident enough in his abilities as a singer and performer to not worry about being upstaged.
