The pop stars performed again on Tuesday (June 17), with a final show at the arena on Friday (June 20).

Justin Timberlake 'Flattered' By BET Nominations (6/10/03, 6 p.m. ET) -- Justin Timberlake recently received two nominations for BET Awards, for best male R&B artist and best new artist for his work on his R&B-infused solo album Justified. The *NSYNC singer teamed up with the hit-making team the Neptunes, the Underdogs, Scott Strorch, and Brian McKnight on the set. Timberlake said he was thrilled when he learned that BET started playing the video from his first single, "Like I Love You." "It's great," Timberlake said. "I remember when they played the first video on BET. I was like, 'Woah!' And that's when I think I kind of realized that this was a bird of a different feather. I'm flattered for any nominations for any awards to be honest with you, but I think the biggest award I could possibly get is if somebody comes up to me and they're like, 'Hey, I just picked up your record and I really dig it.' I just really enjoy it." The third annual BET Awards will take place on Tuesday (June 24) and air live on BET from the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. Justin Timberlake & Christina Aguilera Kick Off Tour (6/4/03, 12 p.m. ET) -- Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera's Justified & Stripped tour kicks off at the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona on Wednesday (June 4). Timberlake said that by joining forces with Aguilera he hopes to change the perception of teen pop music. "You know even though this was her second album, and this was my first album I think we were kind of at similar places in our career where we wanted to break the mold of what people looked at as teen pop and move into a different direction,” Timberlake said. “And so I think those couple of things added up to why I thought it was cool for us to tour together." The *NSYNC singer added that the focus of this tour will be on the music. "Nothing really takes away from the music on this show,” Timberlake said. “And I have a three piece horn section and a DJ as well. So, the band's really full, and I really enjoy the sound of it. I think in all the right ways we added to what was already that live sound that was on the record." Timberlake and Aguilera--sporting her new long black hair--are featured on the cover of the July 26 issue of Rolling Stone magazine. The magazine's headline reads, "Justin & Christina... Double Trouble... Hooking Up For The Sexiest Tour On Earth." Timberlake recently co-hosted the 12th annual MTV Movie Awards with Seann William Scott. The show was taped on Saturday (May 31), at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and will air on MTV at 9 p.m. ET Thursday (June 5).
