If Justin Timberlake did nothing but comedy sketches from now on, we'd be perfectly happy.
The singer-turned-actor went on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Tuesday to promote his new movie, Friends With Benefits. Everyone expected him to do a follow-up to last September's now-viral "History of Rap," where he spit out rhymes from Tupac to Jay-Z with Jimmy.
“It’s not going to happen  we can’t do it again,†Justin Timberlake told Jimmy and his audience.
But, of course they did. Beginning and ending with Kurtis Blow's "Breaks," the two worked their way through everything from Grandmaster Flash and DMX to Biz Markie and Vanilla Ice. The mash-up was really well-reherased - or at the very least, it sure looked like it was. (Until they tried to Dougie. That was a bit rough.)
Check out the hilarious rap here:
Justin and Jimmy, you really do "win, win, win no matter what."

David and Victoria Beckham revealed that their new baby girl was named Harper Seven on July 10, and since then sales of the classic novel To Kill A Mockingbird are seeing a major resurgence!
For the literary unaware, Mockingbird is written by Harper Lee -- the only book ever penned by the reclusive Lee, 85.
Reportedly, sales of the book have risen by 123 percent on Amazon.co.uk since little Harper Seven's name was announced.
The book, first published in 1960, is now at number 38 on the bestsellers chart in England.
In a video posted to his Facebook page earlier this week, Beckham said that he and Victoria named Harper such because Victoria's favorite book is To Kill A Mockingbird.
"It's a very strong, passionate book ... We're very proud of having her [Harper Seven] in our lives and in our family. It's an amazing time in our family right now."
He also explained the meaning behind Harper's middle name, "Seven," saying that the name comes from his jersey number, the fact that "seven" symbolizes spiritual perfection and because it's a lucky number.
David recently sported sneakers with all of his four children's names stitched onto them -- an their color was perhaps another homage to his baby girl. See a pic of the sneaks after the jump!

Kim Kardashian's attorney, Gary Hecker, filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against Old Navy over the company's "unauthorized use of [Kim] Kardashian's name, likeness, identity and persona."
The suit is referring to the "Super C.U.T.E." commercial starring a woman who some have speculated is parodying Kim Kardashian. She plays a celebrity of some kind in the commercial, at one point singing about "posing for a magazine."
E!reports that the total damages could add up to $20 million.
The look-a-like actress, Melissa Molinaro, is now reportedly dating Kim's ex, NFL player Reggie Bush. Ouch.
While Molinaro has denied that she was hired as a Kardashian doppelganger, when the commercial came out in February, Old Navy Tweeted that she looked "just like Kim K!"
Said one such Tweet, ""Breaking News!! @CBSNEWS reports that Old Navy's Super CUTE star looks like @kimkardashian. #LOL. What do you think?""
Because Kim has exclusive rights to her own likeness and identity, and because much of her $65 million fortune comes from the use of that identity through product endorsements, Kim might have a case.
What do you think -- should Kim win in court?
Check out a refresher of the commercial after the jump ...

Looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger is ready to reclaim his action star status and add to his enormous bank account!
The former California governor must be thrilled Lionsgate Films has announced January 18, 2013 will be the official release date for his film The Last Stand.
In the action flick, Maria Shriver's soon-to-be-ex will play a former LAPD cop who moves to a sleepy border town ... only to find himself in the middle of a showdown with an escaped drug lord.
With all of the drama in his personal life, will the public support him at the theaters? Perhaps if they see past his True Lies.
See more of Arnold out to lunch with pals in Brentwood ... after the jump.

Tuesday an unauthorized trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man hit the web (get it?) and was quickly taken down ... but now the official version has been released.
The flick stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone (who are rumored to be dating in real life), Sally Fields and Rhys Ifans (who are not rumored to be dating in real life).
What's different about this version from the Tobey Maguire one? Gwen Stacy (Stone), not Mary Jane, is the romantic lead ... and the trailer shows things from Spiderman's swinging viewpoint. Not sure if we're loving it ... it's a little too clearly computer animated.

Supermodel Bar Refaeli has certainly moved on from ex boyfriend Leo DiCaprio, and we have to say, her new beau David Fisher is a hottie! Bar definitely knows how to pick em'.
The gorgeous blonde and her new man hit the shops in Saint-Tropez, France. Looks like bar is lovin' life! Just last week, the sexy twosome were hanging out in Tel Aviv visiting her family, and of course, taking advantage of the beautiful Mediterranean waters.
Good thing Bar's old flame Leo has moved on with Blake Lively, or these photos may have sunk the Titanic star's spirits.
