Justin and Borat double-act?

It may be a bizarre double-act, but rumour has it that Justin Timberlake and Borat are in talks about working together. The two met up at the GQ Awards last night and were heard gossiping on the staircase about possible work in the future. Sacha Baron Cohen, who created the characters Ali G and Borat, heaped the praise on Justin during his acceptance speech, and Britney Spears' ex also made no secret of his like for the controversial character. Justin picked up an award for International Man of the Year and Borat walked off with the Editor's Special Award. Meanwhile, former Doctor Who star Billie Piper scooped Woman of the Year - while new father Rod Stewart got the gong for Outstanding Achievement. Russell Brand won Most Stylish Man of the Year, and was presented with the award by outspoken singer Lily Allen. After a hectic year due to a very public break-up with wife Heather Mills, Paul McCartney was given something to smile about by being awarded the top gong of the night. Macca wasn't there in person, but GQ Editor Dylan Jones explained why he deserved to be titled GQ Man of the Year. He said: 'Paul McCartney turned 64, produced one of his best albums in years, orchestrated the 90-minute Las Vegas Beatles spectacular, Love, finished a record-breaking tour of America, and this month releases his fourth full-length classical work, Behold My Heart. 'Plus, this year he has been embraced by the Great British public like no time before. And with good reason. Paul McCartney is not only one of our greatest living legends, he's also probably the most dignified.' The winners were...
