Justin Timberlake and his whole "sexy back" revolution has gone a long way toward showing young men that dressing to impress really is sexy. However, that's not what JT is seeking credit for -- he wants credit for the trucker hat trend.
He acknowledges that Ashton Kutcher generally gets the credit for the unfortunate trend, saying, "I keep hearing Ashton Kutcher say how he was responsible for trucker caps. I've heard him make that statement before." But, Justin insists that he and his William Rast design partner were wearing them back when they were just 17 years old.

What we want to know is why the hell Justin wants the trucker hat trend attributed to him. We would be trying to distance ourselves from that one!
