Rumor has it that Justin Timberlake is desperate to get his hands on an early copy of Britney Spears' highly anticipated memoir - reportedly sold for a hefty $15 million.
This week, the book world was rocked with the news that the upcoming memoir from the pop princess had been put on hold due to worries from various famous people about what secrets might be divulged in the pages of what could potentially be a runaway hit.
These A-listers are anxious about what the "Baby One More Time" singer may reveal in her book.
The postponement of her book has tongues wagging, with many speculating as to who could have been behind the decision.
One person often mentioned in these conversations is Justin Timberlake, an ex-boyfriend of Britney's dating back to 1999.
According to a source close to the situation, "Justin's future is literally in the hands of Britney," noting that she knows all the particulars about their storied romance.
On Saturday, it was reported by The Sun that Simon & Schuster was already feeling pressure over the manuscript, despite an official release date still needing to be set.
According to a source, this had resulted in an apology from the publisher's author, with a PR war room hastily thrown together to be ready for whatever content is contained within. "Sadly for them," said the source, "nothing can be done until they digest what she has written."
They said that the entertainment industry is abuzz with speculation about Britney Spears' upcoming tell-all book.

Furthermore, it has been suggested that fans can expect some shocking revelations; rumors are circulating that the "Toxic" hitmaker will divulge previously unknown facts regarding her comparatively short relationship with actor Colin Farrell in 2003.
A few reports claimed that Colin had sent an unsavory memento to his former flame when their relationship had gone awry.
This gift, a bumper sticker of all things, supposedly bore the message "Honk When You've Slept With Colin Farrell." Whether or not this is actual remains unconfirmed by Colin himself.
According to a source, this book's mystery rivals Prince Harry's memoir.
Even Justin will only receive a copy after release - if Britney decides to gift him one. The level of secrecy has never been greater for such a publication.
