It's been some week for celebrity gossip! Britney Spears is rightly letting the cat out of the bag with her book "The Woman In Me". Has Justin Timberlake 's clean cut persona been damaged by this? The media has a habit of pulling old interviews/footage from years ago to shame celebrities. We question if this is fair as some things that are deemed unacceptable today, were not unacceptable years ago. And Patrick Kielty's pouch. We've all seen it, you can't avoid it.
