What happens when you piss off the publicist

Stories are circulating that Muirfield Golf Course "snubbed" Justin Timberlake and his mother - not letting ma walk round the course, and refusing to give them entry to the restaurant.

Muirfield tell a different story:

Club secretary Alastair Brown said: “Justin Timberlake and his mother played here on Tuesday but we told his publicist that it would not be possible for her to accompany them on the course.

“After the game, they did not wish to enter the restaurant area but in any case he would not have been able to do so, as he was not wearing the required jacket and tie.”

We suspect that forcing the publicist to sit in the car with a can of coke and a bag of crisps while Justin and his mum played their interminable game of knocky-ball-into-hole may have given them ample time to Blackberry a slightly grumpier story to the papers. Or maybe there was a passer-by who thought that the publicist was Justin's mother.

Justin Timberlake enjoys golf with his mother. He's less SexyBack, more DripdrySlacks, isn't he?
