Timberlake takes one on the chin
Fan just wanted to 'touch' him...

As reported by celebrity website TMZ Justin Timberlake has taken one in the chops while playing a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe.
Now some of you might be thinking: "We've all wanted to do that at some point". But this is just plain wrong and not something GolfPunk would endorse – no matter how many times your other half asks you to "take off that bloody racket and put some Justin Trousernake on!".
That's just not the GolfPunk way, I'm afraid. No matter how many pictures you've had to endure showing Justin having the time of his life with Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Olivia Wilde, Lindsay Lohan, Rihanna, Alyssa Milano, Alicia Keys, Nicole Appleton, Britney Spears, Emma Bunton and someone's mum we've never heard of... The idea of giving Justin Timberlake a good right cross with the back of your hand (is that even possible? – Ed) just isn't us.
So when some berk 'just wanted to touch his face' at the 27th annual American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, we were the last people to be found saying "go, on my son, give him a good slap in the chops!"
When the berk duly did exactly what we didn't say for him to do, slipping though Justin's beefy minders (not that Beef) and landing a wristy, some might say 'lady-like' slap, on the side of Justin's face, Timbers flinched away and retorted: "Bro, why would you do that?"
Why indeed. We've done as much research as time would permit before our elevenses arrived this morning, and we can't for the lives of us find any reason why anyone would want to do such a thing.
When the police caught up with the man, who reportedly refused to leave the premises as he had 'unfinished business with Timberlake', he was arrested for disorderly conduct after he allegedly became belligerent.
Timberlake reportedly declined to press charges against the man who said he just wanted to "touch" the singer. A spokesperson for Timberlake could not be reached for comment.
Justin Timberlake is two over par.
