Singer Justin Timberlake blames celebrity magazines for turning his personal life into juicy gossip fodder.
"I despise what they do," the 26-year-old singer tells US magazine Details. "They create soap operas out of people's lives. ... It's a spin game, and I choose not to take part in it."
That includes not dishing any dirt about former girlfriends Britney Spears and Cameron Diaz.
"I would never say anything bad about anyone. I love a lot of those people," says Timberlake.
Diaz and Timberlake, who had dated since 2003, confirmed their split in January. Timberlake's relationship with Spears ended in 2002. They were a high-profile couple for three years.
Timberlake, a former member of boy band 'N Sync, released his debut solo album, "Justified," in 2002. The album won a Grammy Award.
