Justin Timberlake teamed up with Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon to deliver “The History Of Rap part 5” during Friday’s night’s program, and video of the performance is available.

The pair ripped through more than 20 rap classics, starting with LL Cool J’s “I’m Bad”, before doing snippets of tracks by Run DMC, the Beastie Boys, Tone Loc, Outkast, Jay Z and more.

Timberlake was the lone guest on the final night of the first week of Fallon’s new gig as Tonight Show host; the show moved back to New York this past week after more than 40 years in Los Angeles and following the recent retirement of Jay Leno.

After the program, Timberlake performed at Madison Square Garden as part of his 20/20 Experience world tour; the rescheduled date was originally booked for Wednesday, but the singer took ill and had to postpone the concert to Friday.

Madonna was on Facebook Saturday for an interview session hosted by Jimmy Fallon.

The event was designed to promote the launch of her new album, “MDNA,” which hits stores on Tuesday.

"I thought it would be best to talk to my fans," Rolling Stone reports Madonna telling Fallon, explaining why her Facebook chat with the Late Night host is the only live press she's doing for the new album.

Taped in front of an audience and live streamed through Madonna's Facebook page, the interview incorporated questions sent in from fans around the world as well as a few dance lessons for Fallon.

At one point, Jimmy asked why she chose to collaborate with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. on the new album.

"Because they’re bad-ass bitches, long story short," she said. "I think they’re both smart, clever, they have strength. They don’t just play on their sexuality or being cute. They’re not ingénues. They’re tough girls and they’re smart. I wouldn't mess with them."

While Timberlake was on his show to promote his new film, “In Time,” Fallon had him jam the third installment of the History Of Rap series; the first History went viral last September, and they did a sequel in July.

The new version features a medley of some of rap’s biggest songs, expertly delivered by Jimmy and Justin.

Fallon also did an expert job of spoofing the Justin Bieber scandal with a performance of “(It’s Not My) Baby,” which came in at #4.

The PP10 is a list of the most-viewed pop news stories in the past week by popmusiclife readers.

Jimmy Fallon stepped up Wednesday night with a Justin impression and reworking of his smash, “Baby.”

In full Bieber costume, including wig and dance moves, Fallon performed “(It’s Not My) Baby” on his show, with house band The Roots backing him up.

"You said we did it, and I'm a dad. My lawyer's tripping, 'cause this looks bad. You only said this to get my cash. Now Selena Gomez is going to kick my a**," Fallon sings n full-on Bieber mode. "It's not my baby, baby, baby. Oh-oh, it's not my baby, baby, baby."
