Timberlake to sue over 'cheating' story

Justin Timberlake's lawyers have been instructed to sue the News of the World over a "bogus" story the pop star cheated on his girlfriend, Cameron Diaz, with a model.

Lara Croft impersonator Lucy Clarkson told the publication she spent two "sizzling nights" with Timberlake while he was in London earlier this year.

Timberlake initially considered suing Clarkson, but now he's going after the newspaper.

His attorney, Marty Singer, insists the story is bogus and he's drafting letters to the tabloid demanding money, an apology and a retraction.

Singer reveals the story was deeply distressing to both Timberlake and Diaz, who even called friends at American magazine US Weekly to deny Clarkson's claims and insist her boyfriend hadn't cheated.

US Weekly journalist Mard Malkin, who spoke to Diaz, says: "Cameron wants the world to know that Justin Timberlake is not a cheater. She says that she completely trusts him, she loves him and they have a solid relationship."
