Looks like Timberpuss has had a change of heart.
After being slammed by PETA, JT's clothing company William Rast has decided to not use any real animal fur in their latest collection.
The animal-rights group wrote Justin a letter telling him "Your animal-friendly young fans need to know where you stand. Selling fur is an endorsement of unimaginable cruelty."
The CEO of the label has since confirmed with PETA that the only fur they'll be using is faux.

Why is he making this a habit?
Before showing his new collection at New York Fashion Week, Justin Timberlake made all the William Rast staff sign a confidentiality agreement so they wouldn't go blabbing to the media.
According to one rebel who wasn't afraid to break the terms of the gag order dished:
"Justin made everyone sign an agreement not to gossip about him. Then, three-quarters of the entire venue was closed off for him, so all the stylists were forced to work on 31 models in a tiny area, causing tempers to flare."
Kind of odd.
What don't you want the media to know, Timberpuss???

Looking like a shredded bouquet of unwanted roses, Jessica Biel wore that atrocity of a dress at the premiere of Valentine's Day.
The HOrrendous gown, made by Oscar de la Renta would probably look better on anyone else, but on Jessica it comes off as trying way too hard for a movie premiere.
By the way, Biel was all by her lonesome on Monday night. No Timberpuss in sight for miles!
But with that dress, we can't say we blame him for being MIA. We wouldn't want to be seen next to it either!

During her Paris fashion show, designer Stella McCartney brought in The Punchbowl Band to perform while her collection paraded down the runway.
The band, which is signed to Guy Ritchie's Punchbowl Records, was such a hit with the crowd that Stella's bringing them back for next season.
A source says:
"They were surprised to be asked considering the Guy connection and because Stella is such good friends with Madonna. But Stella thinks they are a great fit for her brand and didn't want to let her friendship with Madonna get in the way of having the best possible music for the show."
When they're not performing on the runway, the Irish folk group plays at Ritchie's London pub The Punchbowl.
See a theme here?
But Stella isn't the only celeb that likes the band. Justin Timberlake has performed with them and said "jamming with the guys was the best fun I have ever had without a woman."
Considering he's dating Jessica Biel, that shouldn't be hard to do.

Justin Timberlake and childhood buddy Trace Ayala seem to be doing really well with their William Rast label.
At the end of last year the label moved into their own retail stores around the country and are looking to expand even further.
Starting in 2011, William Rast will be debuting their own line of racing eyewear for men and women.
No word yet on what they'll look like besides, complementing the apparel, but we're kind of intrigued, kind of not.
