MUSIC West sees Timberlake as biggest rival. inspiration
NEW YORK — Kanye West considers a certain "SexyBack" singer his biggest rival.
"My biggest inspiration and biggest competition is Justin Timberlake," the 29-year-old rapper tells XL magazine in its October issue, on newsstands Sept. 11. "He's the only other person that gets an across-the-board response and respect level - black radio, white radio."
"If Justin hadn't come out and killed the game, I can't say that my album, singles and videos would be on the same level that they're on," he says. "We push each other. I look at me and Justin like Prince and Michael Jackson in their day."
A sly dig at 50 Cent? Earlier this month, the 31-year-old gangsta rapper, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson, promised to quit his solo career if West's new album, "Graduation," outsells his upcoming CD, "Curtis." Both albums are due out Sept. 11.
West, a six-time Grammy winner, tells XXL that he's "never cared about being No. 1." Record sales, he figures, aren't as important as how the music connects with people.
"I feel like my lyrics are, if not THE, then equal to, the realest lyrics out," he says. "I connected with so many people without talkin' about guns and drugs. ...It's harder to go to work 365 days than shoot a person in one day."
West realizes his flamboyant style and less-than-humble public behavior could hinder his chances for success.

AWARDS Fatone set to co-host red-carpet coverage
NEW YORK — Joey Fatone has signed on for red-carpet duty as co-host with Lisa Rinna of TV Guide Network's red-carpet cover of major awards shows.
Their first gig together: the Emmy Awards on Sept. 16.
"Joey is a top-notch professional with a natural likeability and great sense of humor, all of which are essential attributes of a red-carpet host," said TV Guide Network President Ryan O'Hara in a statement Tuesday.
"He will be a terrific complement to Lisa, who is also incredibly charismatic and brings a wealth of fashion savvy and insight," O'Hara said.
Fatone, 30, is host of NBC's sing-along variety game show, "The Singing Bee." He was part of boy band N'Sync, and has appeared in several Broadway musicals, including "Little Shop of Horrors."
In a statement, Fatone said he plans to make "the red carpet experience entertaining, spontaneous and most of all fun — not only for those walking the red carpet, but also for the fans watching at home."
He will co-host TV Guide's red-carpet coverage through 2008.
