"  Well, sure, one way to rival Miley Cyrus and her nipple pasties in the statement making stakes is to insult an ex-girlfriend on stage. During his set at this past weekend&amp;#039;s iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas, Justin Timberlake chose an old-school hit from his solo catalog: 2002&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Cry Me A River.&amp;quot; Everyone loves the falsetto section, right? Except then halfway his performance, Justin decided to adlib a little bit. (And this is where things get sad, you know, if you&amp;#039;re one of those people still holding fond memories of Mickey Mouse Club couples making it work.) He replaced the expected pre-chorus &amp;quot;don&amp;#039;t it make you sad about it?&amp;quot; lyric with a much less pleasant version: &amp;quot;bitch, why don&amp;#039;t you cry about it?&amp;quot; Incidentally, though the song&amp;#039;s inspiration was always painfully obvious, it took until 2011 for producer Timbaland to confirm \u2014 in an E! True Hollywood Special, no less \u2014 that Timberlake wrote &amp;quot;Cry Me A River&amp;quot; after a &amp;quot;heated phone conversation&amp;quot; with Britney. So yes, Justin is trash-talking his ex.      Just a thought, though: anybody (still) re-hashing decade-old breakup stories is in no position to call anyone else a bitch.
