Justin Timberlake's Album Listening Party Served Grasshoppers
'I'm A Justin Timberlake Fan...Get Me Out Of Here!' coming to a screen near you...
Question: would you eat bugs just to listen to your fave's new album?
Well, that's what several Justin Timberlake fans did last night as they attended a top-secret listening party of his brand new album Man of the Woods in New York.
The 'Filthy' singer debuted the long-awaited album in a forest-decorated venue with a delicious menu of grasshoppers and ants, coated in rose oil and black garlic obviously.
If you know what's good

The posh bushtucker trial was most likely worth it as fans got the exclusive first-listen of the 16-track collection, which features Alicia Keys, Chris Stapleton and (!) JT's son Silas.
Much like Blue Ivy has made appearances in Beyoncé's music over the years, Silas is reportedly heard on the album's closing track 'Young Man', which would make a lot of sense really.
While fans had to sign non-disclosure agreements to not reveal anything about the music, Timberlake said that Man of the Woods is a tribute to his son, whose name means "living in the woods."
Justin previewed almost half of the album in an exciting behind-the-scenes trailer released yesterday and it sounds like it could be his strongest effort yet, so we are extremely jealous right now.
Lead single 'Filthy' debuted at Number 15 in the UK last week and is expected to rise, while another song - reportedly 'Supplies' - is due to premiere tomorrow.

Is to see you tomorrow
And every tomorrow
Maybe you'll let me borrow, your heart
And is it too much to ask for every Sunday?
An while we're at it throw in every other day to start
I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife and you're bleeding
But I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
'Cause baby you're worth it
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true with me
Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Now how about I be the last voice you hear tonight?
And every other night for the rest of the nights that there are
And every morning I just wanna see you staring back at me
'Cause I know that's a good place to start
I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
Then someone cuts your heart open with a knife
Now you're bleeding
Don't you know that I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
Cause baby you're worth it
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true with me
Spend all your time and your money just find out my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me
No I won't fill your mind with broken promises
And wasted time
And if you fall
You'll always land right in these arms
These arms of mine
Don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true with me
Spend all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me
