Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado are the worst-behaved diners in showbiz, according to celebrity restaurateur Guy Rubino.

Rubino claims Timberlake insisted on ordering off the menu and Furtado acted like a diva during visits to his Toronto, Canada, eatery Rain.

The chef tells The New York Daily News, "Timberlake comes into Rain, doesn't even look at the menu and shouts for random food that we don't make. If he knew what he wanted, why come to an Asian restaurant in the first place?

"(Furtado) made a reservation for 10 guests. She showed up an hour late with five extra people in tow. For parties that size, we do a prix-fixe type of menu.

"Nelly objected and was really rude about it. She expected individual dishes to be prepared. Her manager even came into the kitchen and had the gall to say, 'Just [bleep] do it! I told her that she and her client could just [bleep] leave."

In contrast, Rubino claims Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were the best guests: "They're very polite. Every time they come in, they pop into the kitchen to say hello. I just love them."

They say blondes have more fun but the color doesn't suit everybody. In Furtado's case it just added unwanted years to her face. And her chocolate brown number isn't that sweet at all.

All Good Things Video - World Premiere at MTV

"Woah, Mama!

If she didn't look so gorgeous in it, Nelly Furtado's brand-new video, "All Good Things (Come to An End)" would probably be the ultimate buzz kill. The fourth single to stem from her platinum- selling album Loose was co-written by Coldplay's Chris Martin, who knows a thing or two about writing sad songs.

And Nelly's understated Earth mother appearance (she is a mom, after all) in the video, while still sexier than her original pigtails-and-overalls hippie chick look, pairs perfectly with the track's emotional overtones and the haunting, reflective refrain. While her recent public persona has been more erotic than ethereal, directing duo Israel Lugo and Gabriel Coss employ a sobering style to match the breakup ballad's somber tone. Watch as a more pure, pensive Nelly Furtado reveals yet another flawless facet of her femininity in her latest video."

I am most certain that Nelly has a large shoe collection but choosing one this plain is beyond me. Can I scratch my head now? Somehow, most of Hollywood make that mistake, great dress, sucky shoes.

"I've met him twice, and he was so nice. He and his whole crew. He said we gotta hook up and do some music together. It would be 'Nelly featuring Nelly.' We thought about dating, actually. He was checking out my ass. I didn't mind. He was cute." — Nelly Furtado on rapper, Nelly

Her outfit looks more funny than fun and would you look at those man legs? I wouldn't wear something like this if I had those.
