For a hot minute, it looked like Justin Timberlake was finally in the studio working on his much-much-much-anticipated third album. Producer Jim Beanz, who notably co-wrote Britney Spears' "Gimme More," updated UK site Digital Spy about progress being made on Timbaland's "Shock Value 3," a project that Timberlake is helping with.

"It's still in the early stages, but they have a lot of tracks," Beanz stated. "While I've been over here in the UK they've been working, so by the time I get back they'll have a whole load of ideas and I'm going to have to catch up!"

However, the headline "Justin Timberlake working on 'crazy' new album" caused mass head-scratching. New album by the man behind "FutureSex/LoveSounds"? Nope.

Timberlake's publicist tells Billboard that while it's true the superstar is collaborating with Timbaland, there are no plans for a third solo album. Further, Timberlake is currently shooting a movie, "Runner, Runner," in Puerto Rico.

Upon its release in 2006, "FutureSex/LoveSounds" peaked at No.1 on both the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Timberlake's solo debut, "Justified," peaked at No. 2 on both charts.

how sad

[Fireman25]

I really want him to come back.

[Usher]

Like I said it's just for SV3 Maybe we will hear something in 2013

[ALI☊]

I give up rooting for him. I seriously think HE DOES NOT care for his fans. Where's the love?

[Siya]

Mess

[Deuces.]

Didn't he say he was quitting music or something like that.

[Callum]

crushed dreams

[CoolestPerson12]

And as I read this, SexyBack is playing on the radio.

Why can't he just make an album.

[Qwerty]

[Monroe]

I still say he is waiting for the musical climate to change. I don't think he has inspiration for the dance stuff that is popular now a days. It's clear the FS/LS was just supposed to be an experimentation and he was never really into the dance stuff. Seems like nowadays, he is waiting for more organic music to come back in style.

I want him to bring SexyBack.


We want a 3rd album badly :3

[imabadkid]

I give up. w/e.

[KarlosVzla]

Most of his fan base has to be gone by now, i mean, it's been forever.

[Duca]

Already posted a few times and the threads were closed.

[LifeSlain]

He's never coming back to music, Why JT

[Sapphire]

I miss his music

[WhyYouMadTho]

How disappointing.

[ManDown]

I kind of respect his decision, and understand. If he releases an album, odds are it will not be nearly as successful as his first two. And no, that isn't shade, it's the truth. Just look at how TTT sold in comparison to GGGB; or Bionic in comparison to BTB. Album sales aren't very good right now. And also, top 40 is pretty bad as well. Yeah, there's more of a variety than previous years, but it's still bad. I understand that he wants to disassociate from his music career and wants to do more acting. It takes a lot of balls to throw in the towel and walk away from a successful career like that.
