Justin Timberlake



Justin Timberlake (January 31, 1981-) is a former member of the late 1990s Boy Band *NSYNC and a sensation among the teenaged female demographic. He has won six Grammy Awards as well as two Emmy Awards. He got his big break when he appeared as a contestant on Star Search, and went on to star in Disney Channel's television series The New Mickey Mouse Club where he met future bandmate JC Chasez.

In 2002, he released his debut solo album, Justified, which sold more than 7 million copies worldwide. The album spawned the hits Cry Me a River and Rock Your Body. Timberlake continued his success with his second solo album, FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, and produced the US number-one hit singles SexyBack, My Love, and What Goes Around.../...Comes Around.

Timberlake's first two albums made him one of the most commercially successful singers in the world, selling a combined 16 million copies (in addition to his 55 million albums sold with *NSYNC). Aside from music, he has also begun an acting career, while his other ventures include record label Tennman Records, fashion label William Rast, and the restaurants Destino and Southern Hospitality.

His music remains popular, due in no small part to his pretty-boy appeal, and he has also played roles in movies, such as Shrek the Third and Mike Myers' The Love Guru.

His performance as Sean "Napster" Parker in The Social Network received much acclaim, and he appeared opposite Mila Kunis in Friends With Benefits. He has also produced a number of popular collaborations with both Andy Samberg and the full troupe of The Lonely Island.

 * Gasshole: As his appearances on the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards of past years have shown, music and theatrics are not his only talents, for better or worse.
