Recent rumours that Justin Timberlake could be the host of the 2014 Oscars have been shot down.
The 'Mirrors' singer recently hosted Saturday Night Live and apparently so impressed executives that he became the favourite to host the future awards ceremony. A source told the National Enquirer, "Getting Justin to host would now be a huge coup for the Oscars.
"He’d been considered before, but they always thought he was too young and not seasoned enough. Now, he’s the frontrunner for the job - after showing he knows how to sing, dance, host, and improvise on the spot."
However, Gossip Cop has said that the speculation is just that. A source told them that the rumours are "premature and ridiculous," particularly as the producers of the ceremony haven't even been decided yet.

When Billboard asked the star's manager about the possibility of a solo tour, he replied, "Yeah. Probably he'll go out sometime in the fall. We haven't routed that yet or figured out what cities we're going to play.
"I know we'll start in North America first. But again, our focus is getting the album out and getting the Jay/Justin piece done."
