Justin Timberlake says removing his bathrobe is all it took to convinced Beyonce to let him do the spoof of her "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" music video on SNL last fall. In an interview on Katie Couric's pre-Grammy special on CBS, Timberlake says Beyonce wasn't convinced that he'd be able to pull off dancing in a skimpy costume and high heels. So he stopped by her dressing room and took off his bathrobe, leaving him in just a leotard and a pair of pumps. According to Timberlake, Beyonce was completely caught off guard and said, "I can't look anywhere but your face right now." Timberlake also talks about his mother's reaction to his spoof, costarring Andy Samberg. He says, "You gotta meet my mom. She's a pretty edgy chick!" Timberlake says when it come to acting, he just tries to have fun, explaining, "I have a day job, so acting becomes a hobby that I can really plunge into with full creative eagerness."
