You can't be cool all your life. Take it from someone who knows. I may seem like a young Paul Newman now, but there was a time when I was not such a paragon of coolness. My high school yearbook picture features me, with my arms up in the air at Epcot Center wearing Skidz.

So I can identify with Justin Timberlake. My man has had some fashion disasters and some bad hair days. Look, nobody can be in the public eye that long and not screw up from time to time. But that's not gonna stop me from calling him out on some of his hairstyle choices, as highlighted on this Justin Timberlake fan forum.

So many things wrong here: the pirate-hoop-earring, the curly fro, the curly fro with the frosted tips (FROSTED TIPS), and last (but very, very much least) THE R. KELLY/ TOM KAULITZ CORNROWS. And other old-school looks at Justin Timberlake.

Let us bow our heads, and pray that those days never come to pass again (or that Jessica Biel never sees these photos).

+ More old-school Justin Timberlake pix after the jump.

+ Because Justin Timberlake doesn't have nearly enough to do (running clothier William Rast, golfing, making tequila, owning a BBQ restaurant in NYC, and CERTAINLY the most time-consuming thing: dating Jessica Biel!), an obvious next step would be to do an ad campaign for the Givenchy fragrance "Play."

+ What's Demi Lovato's way of coping with fame? 1. Avoiding the tabloids the way most of us avoid carbs. ("It will eat you alive if you read it," she swears.) And, 2. Reminding herself that Miley Cyrus is still #1 on the Paparazzi's Most Wanted hit list. (MTV News)

Fall Out Boy bassist, DJ, groom-to-be, salon-owner, hoodie connoisseur, activist, and unofficial ambassador to southern Chile Pete Wentz has a lot going on -- you could even say he's too busy for fatherhood at the moment. But regardless of the fact that he and fiancée Ashlee Simpson have never made an official baby announcement, they've been deflecting Fall Out Baby speculation pretty much since they first started dating. He even addressed the issue in a cheeky homemade video.

We wanted to know why gossip blogs are gunning so hard for Pete and Ashlee to hurry up and procreate. (Why not Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel? And does no one want Star Jones to crank one out? That's just cold.)

So we asked Pete. And here's what he had to say:
