JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE GAVE his first concert in five years on Saturday in New Orleans. Exciting!

However, Twitter went into overdrive when rumours started flying that during the show he had called one Miss Britney Spears a b****.

Apparently, while introducing Cry Me a River, he said “Sometimes in life, you think you found the one. But then one day you find out that she is just some b****.” Given the fact that the song is said to have been inspired by an affair Britney had during their relationship, you can understand why fans put two and two together.

Justin said they’d got it all wrong.

Whatever the true sentiment, it’s got us thinking back to the glory days. The days when Britney loved Justin and Justin loved Britney and the world loved them both.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane.
