“Ryan Gosling,” mused Corden. “Even then, at that age, could you find yourself getting lost in Ryan Gosling’s eyes?” Christina laughed and replied, “I think there were crushes but I wasn’t on the train!”
When Corden asked if she was “on the Timberlake train,” Christina stuttered and stammered as she attempted to explain that she and Britney both wanted Justin.
“There was a thing back then!” she laughed. “Oh my God, you’re going in!”
When James feigned ignorance of the situation, Christina simply said, “It was a good time.”
“Are we saying Timberlake was the main dude in the MMC?” Corden pressed. “He had swag, I have to say,” Christina admitted. “But I know Ryan, actually, pretty much, he did have a crush on Britney.”
“She must be regretting that,” cracked Corden. “No, she got Justin!” Christina argued. “It was like, they were a big ol’ couple! “Oh, you’re right,” Corden said sarcastically. “That worked out wonderfully!“
Christina and James also sang “Fighter,” “Beautiful,” “Genie in a Bottle” and “Dirrty,” featuring a rap from surprise guest Melissa McCarthy.
