Reason #88 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

JT is taking an ownership stake in MySpace. In a media release, JT said, “I’m excited to help revitalize MySpace by using its social media platform to bring artists and fans together in one community.” I deleted my profile on the site years ago, but if JT brings sexy back to MySpace, I just may have to make a new one! http://bit.ly/lxO8n3

MySpace used to be so popular! Maybe JT will channel Sean Parker and bring it back to its pre-Facebook glory...

Reason #87 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

I read somewhere JT's favorite foods are cereal and pasta. If that's true, those are favs of mine too! Just one more thing we have in common.

Pasta is pretty straightforward, but I wonder what JT’s favorite cereal is – something serious (Raisin Bran), traditional (Cheerios), or a little wacky (Fruit Loops)?

Reason #86 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

JT’s movie, “Bad Teacher,” starts in theatres today! Guess where I’ll be tonight? (It’s tradition! See Reason #69)

Reason #85 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

I bought my plane tickets yesterday for Vegas! Now I’m one step closer to going to the JT & Friends benefit concert on 10/1 (it’ll be my third one!).

Getting the flights booked was Step #1. Now I just need JT’s concert tix to go on sale!

Reason #84 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

I went mini golfing in Cape Cod yesterday with my family. Every time it was my turn, I asked myself, “How would JT approach this shot?”

I didn’t end up winning mini golf, but thinking about JT at all 18 holes put me in a great mood!

Reason #83 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

I love looking for videos people make with JT's music. It’s always cool to see what other people come up with to show their love of JT!

This video by Bret Domino is just one of the awesome JT videos I’ve seen. He put a ton of work into it – he must be a true JT fan!

Reason #82 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

There were so many ads for JT’s movie, Bad Teacher, in NYC! I tried to pose with as many as I could – even ones on moving buses.

Whether I’m waiting for a subway train or walking through Times Square, I’m always looking for a JT-related photo op!

Reason #81 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

Our NBC Studios tour guide was describing the makeup dept. of SNL and told a little story about JT as an example. Before I could stop myself, I let out an “OOH!” as soon as she said his name. Everyone in my tour group just looked at me. Oops!

JT had a ton of hair & makeup changes when he hosted SNL. I got to hear all about it on the NBC Studios tour (even if I got a little *too* excited)!

Reason #80 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

While I was in NYC, I took a tour of NBC Studios so I could see the set of SNL. JT was the last celebrity host on that stage! I could just see him walking through the halls of the network – sigh.

JT’s most recent hosting of SNL was the show’s highest episode rating in a long time – and I’m not surprised! 

Reason #79 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

I ordered a 901-derful at Southern Hospitality. It’s made with Justin’s tequila and was the only drink description that mentioned JT by name. In case you were wondering, it lived up to its name! Since SH put the drink recipe online, I can even make it at home!

The 901-derful was the perfect thirst quencher on a Sunday afternoon.

Reason #78 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

My trip to Justin’s 2nd Southern Hospitality locale yesterday was a success. I wanted to buy a t-shirt and some shot glasses, but they had NO souvenirs in stock!! Bummer. :(

I would have loved a SH t-shirt or shot glass, but a waitress told me they were all out of both for the next few weeks.

Reason #77 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

I enjoyed my visit to JT’s restaurant, Southern Hospitality, SO much (see Reasons #46, 66, 67), that I’m heading to NYC with my sister just to eat at the second location this weekend. Then I can say I’ve been to ALL of JT’s eateries!

JT has been in NYC a lot lately – and taking pics with fans (like this girl)! Maybe I’ll run into him on Sunday. I can dream, right?!

Reason #76 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

JT did a photo shoot & interview for the June issue of Vanity Fair! It comes out today, so I plan to buy it as soon as I get out of work.

JT’s interview with VF talks about his days with *N SYNC and his future music plans – can’t wait to read it!

Reason #75 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

I got my puppy last Friday! Though I didn’t end up naming him after JT (see Reason #73), I DID tell him he’d be hearing a lot of JT music in his life. I even pointed out to him when JT’s music was playing in my car. I know he’ll end up loving JT, too!

I told my new puppy, Sammy, all about JT.
