Justin Timberlake

A bar owner in Illinois is fighting with Justin Timberlake's lawyers over a pricey autograph-signing appearance he has scheduled for the star. Sharky's Billiards owner Joe Piagentini claims a promoter assured him the My Love singer would be appearing at the bar on March 13 after he paid him a $25,000 fee.

Timberlake is performing in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont and is supposedly scheduled to attend the autograph-signing session after his gig.

Jive records released the following statement earlier today: It has come to our attention that there have been several announcements of official Justin Timberlake after parties or events during the FutureSex/LoveShow tour. We would like to take this time to make absolutely clear that there are no official Justin Timberlake after parties, signings or events. Any and all individuals or venues that are promoting that Justin Timberlake will attend, sign, or perform at their after party or events are completely misleading the public. We regret that there are individuals who are willing to take advantage of Justin Timberlake's name and his fans and we hope that all these false rumors will be laid to rest.

According to Fox News, the tickets are being advertised on websites for $100 each.
