Justin Timberlake wants you to know he does drugs

Justin Timberlake, who's on the cover of the current issue of Entertainment Weekly, admitted to the E.W. reporter that he was high when he got Punk'd on Ashton Kutcher's TV prank show.


When asked about getting Punk'd by Kutcher, JT volunteered the following info:

"I'll give you a little hint on that Punk'd thing. That was back in my first-album creative days. That's why I looked the way I did, if that makes any sense to you."

Like any good reporter, the E.W. guy pressed on and flat-out asked JT if he meant he was high:

"Incredibly. Yeah, that was a trippy experience. That was why I was completely glassy-eyed. As a matter of fact, I was like, okay, I got to stop doing this. I don't do that anymore!"

And with that, I refer you this pic of JT and high profile stoner and uber-producer Pharrell Williams in Miami last week:

Yeah, they're not high at all.

All this drug talk started last July when, while in Britain promoting his second solo album, JT said this:

"The drugs that I do have been done in my own private time. I've never been arrested - though that's not to say that I won't. I've done way too many drugs already. I've already inhaled and I've already - who knows? Some drugs haven't been legalized because it will ruin the other drugs, like nicotine and tobacco. Nicotine is more addictive than heroin....We all make mistakes. I'm just like everyone else - I get completely plastered, I've done my fair share of drugs and been caught places with my pants down. It's just that I make sure there are no cameras around."

I'd like to point out that in his attempt to up his edge-factor, JT only made millions of us YouTube that Punk'd clip and remember all over again that when the situation got scary (read: hilarious), he teared up and called his mom.

I'd do the same thing, but still...
