Justin Timberlake joked that he was "completely drunk" while appearing on a US talk show.

The 'SexyBack' singer made the claim on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' after being asked about revelations he smoked "weed" during a recent interview.

Timberlake quipped: "I make a promise to you I try not to do drugs while I'm doing interviews. I'm completely drunk right now."

Letterman also quizzed Timberlake on his relationship with 'Charlie's Angels' actress Cameron Diaz, but the 25-year-old singer told the host he "didn't want to go into details".

Letterman also grilled Justin - who was making his first appearance on the popular show - about his now infamous half-time performance with Janet Jackson at Super Bowl XXXVIII.

The host asked: "It was all part of the deal, right? It was all planned, pre-meditated? What was supposed to happen? Doves were supposed to fly out? Release the doves!"

Justin confessed: "I think it's fair to say that was not a well thought out performance."
