Britney Spears Says She’s ‘In Love’ With Justin Timberlake’s ‘Selfish’ Single: ‘It Is Soo Good’


JT’s long-ago ex also had high praise for “Sanctified,” which Justin debuted on this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live.”

In addition to playing the mellow “Selfish,” Timberlake debuted the new gospel-tinged burner “ Sanctified ” alongside Houston rapper Tobe Nwigwe in his first SNL performance of the night. Thanks to the fan attention, Britney’s “Selfish” hit the top of a number of iTunes pop charts across the world on Friday, either displacing or landing just beneath Timberlake’s single of the same name. He did, however, appear to allude to the firestorm during a Las Vegas show in December, where he told a crowd he meant “no disrespect” before playing his 2002 solo hit “Cry Me a River,” widely seen as a commentary on the couple’s March 2002 split after three years together.
