Unraveling the Motives Behind Justin Timberlake's 'NSync Reunion: A Closer Look by Author Danny Pellegrino
Renowned author and comedic genius, Danny Pellegrino, shares his insightful take on the hottest pop culture events of today, unmasking the true motives behind 'NSync's highly-anticipated reunion and shedding light on the captivating Scandoval saga
Podcast host Danny Pellegrino fearlessly delves into the most significant developments in Hollywood in a segment called Give Us Your Take.
In his initial analysis, Pellegrino shared his belief that the recent reunion of 'NSync was a calculated "PR maneuver" aimed at boosting Justin Timberlake's image prior to the unveiling of Britney Spears' explosive memoir, The Woman in Me.
"I have just finished reading the entire Britney book, and there is a significant amount of information about that man. It was quite heartbreaking for me. Particularly, the details about her relationship with Justin brought back memories of that time. We were all consumed with that relationship. I distinctly recall them appearing at the MTV Awards wearing matching denim outfits," the author of the Jolliest Bunch explained in an exclusive conversation with We. "Reading those passages brought about a strange sense of melancholic nostalgia."
The book primarily focuses on Timberlake, age 42, and reveals several shocking revelations. Not only did Spears, 41, disclose that she terminated a pregnancy during their relationship due to Timberlake's unpreparedness for fatherhood, but she also alleged that he cheated on her multiple times and ended their relationship by sending a text message. A source shared exclusively to Us last month that Timberlake felt "disappointed" by his ex's decision to "publicly expose their deeply personal and private matters" in her book.
Pellegrino jokingly mentioned that he has never been a big fan of Dustin Timberwolf and instead prefers his 'NSync bandmate JC Chasez. He expressed his love for Chasez, even acknowledging him in his book. Additionally, he mentioned that he has recently become a fan of Joey Fatone.
Moving on to the topic of ex-couples drama, Pellegrino discussed Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval's breakup with Ariana Madix. It was revealed earlier this year that after nine years together, Sandoval cheated on Madix with their Bravo co-star Raquel Leviss. This affair, known as "Scandoval," will be a major storyline in the show's 11th season, as hinted in the trailer.

"I'm really curious about how they'll portray [Tom] in the editing, considering he was portrayed as the world's biggest villain in the previous season," said Pellegrino, who coauthored the former couple's cocktail book. "Knowing Bravo as you and I do, they usually handle the next season's editing well or it might take one more season... But you can't help but wonder, will they present him sympathetically or will that come in the following season?"
While Sandoval and Madix are in for a turbulent season of Pump Rules, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce manage to steer clear of any drama. "I'm a fan. I'm intrigued," Pellegrino expressed about the couple's fresh romance.
Danny Pellegrino, photographed by Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images, proudly declared himself as a newfound fan of Taylor Swift, referring to himself as "a new Swiftie." Pellegrino enthusiastically shared his incredible experience attending Swift's Eras Tour, expressing his overwhelming excitement. With humor, he mentioned how there must be something magical in the air or in the atmosphere of those shows that left him in awe. Pellegrino playfully revealed his dedication by wearing friendship bracelets, purchasing merchandise, and patiently waiting in line for two hours. He expressed his genuine happiness for Swift and her fans, admitting to finding Travis, presumably a member of the tour, attractive as well.
