Justin Timberlake brands Madonna a "control freak"

Pop hunk Justin Timberlake has branded Madonna a "control freak".

Justin, who inducted the 'Material Girl' star into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a ceremony in New York yesterday, said: "People always ask if she is the control freak people say she is. Hell yeah!

"We had a recording session in London and I wasn't feeling well. She said: 'Would you like a B12 shot?'

"She reached into her handbag, pulled a ziplock bag of B12 syringes and says: 'Drop 'em.'

"I don't know what you say to that, so I dropped my pants.

"She gave me the shot in my ass. It was one of the greatest days of my life.

"That is what Madonna will always be to us. The shot in the ass when we really need it."

The 'Sexy Back' singer - who produced Madonna's latest album Hard Candy - added: "She's a woman on top and I'm sure she is enjoying that position.

"Nobody has got into the rock and roll of fame when they're looking this damn fine."

Timberlake then made a sly dig at his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears.

Before welcoming Madonna, 49, to the stage, the former 'N Sync star quipped: "There have been a lot of wannabes, I may have even dated a couple of them.

"She has also kissed someone I may or may not have kissed myself. Of course you know I'm talking about Sean Penn."

Madonna then gracefully accepted her award, before warning Justin: "I'll get you fucker."

She added: "What's a record without the music? That's right, mother fuckers.

"What's a record without Timbaland, Stuart Price, Pharrell Williams and Justin Timberlake."

The singer - who celebrates her 50th birthday later this year, then confessed she once experimented with the drug ecstasy, revealing she once shared a pill with a music executive who listened to her first demo tape, before talking about the time she "smoked a joint" with her publicist.
