It's all about Justin!

Madonna and Justin Timberlake

Tsk - talk about stealing the limelight! Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at a swanky ceremony in New York last night - but the man who introduced her on stage, Justin Timberlake, has managed to grab half the headlines for himself. How rude!

And how did he do that? Simple - by using that failsafe celebrity trick of "kind of mentioning Britney Spears." OK, so Justin did date Britney for quite a while, but that was 101 years ago - and we've all moved on since then...

Pretending to allude to Madge's infamous on-stage kiss with Ms Spears, Justin said: "She has still found time to kiss someone I may or may not have publicly kissed myself while I was in the audience." But then the budding comedian added: "Of course you know I was talking about Sean Penn." Ha! Ha! Ha?

Anything else, Justin? "The world has always been full of Madonna wannabes - and I might have even dated a couple," he "quipped". Presumably he was talking about Britney this time - but, frankly, who cares?

Finally, Justin did leave the stage - paving the way for the Queen of Pop to have her moment of glory. Highlights from her acceptance speech? She called the audience "motherf***ers", admitted to smoking marijuana and referred to Iggy Pop as an "a**-kisser from Michigan." Still got it, Madge!
