You’ve got to hand it to Justin Timberlake. MTV’s Quadruple Threat award winner, he’s gotten movie stars like Cameron Diaz and pop divas like Britney Spears to fall in love with him. His concert tour is one of the year’s biggest. Guest shots on TV shows like SNL have made him a directors’ favorite. He wins Grammys and tops Billboard charts. It’s the most significant assault on pop sensibility since his gloved idol did the moonwalk.
Timberlake, a native of Memphis, Tennessee, turned 26 in 2007. His outspoken ambitions to redefine pop music have made it clear that he’s putting his ‘N Sync boy band past behind him.
To Timberlake’s credit, he and the rest of the crew, including former fellow Mouseketeer J.C. Chavez, quit at the height of their fame in 2001, five years after they began. After that, the recording industry was abuzz with talk of how much money was being sunk into J.T.’s solo career, and how methodically his management team was modeling his career after Michael Jackson’s.
The first results were seen in 2002, with the release of Timberlake’s first album, Justified. The album would go on to sell more than three million copies, launch several hit songs, including “Like I Love You,” the Grammy-winning “Cry Me a River” and the ubiquitous “Rock Your Body” and, through a lengthy and crafty series of public appearances, lucrative ($6 million) endorsements with McDonalds and high-profile collaborations with The Black Eyed Peas, not to mention Timberlake’s good sense to use producers like The Neptunes gradually won over the skeptics, who were convinced he was just another faceless product.
That was nothing, however, compared with what was about to happen at the 2004 Superbowl, when he and Janet Jackson introduced “wardrobe malfunction” into the world’s vocabulary. There’s still no definitive ruling on the authenticity of the exposure of a nipple, but there’s little doubt that Jackson got the brunt of the fallout from the public. Then, acting more a franchise than a bad boy, he apologized to the public for the incident on the Grammys, which was a condition set by the RIAA, which had banned him from the telecast.
After a flurry of indifferently received films, Timberlake returned to music with his 2006 FutureSexLoveSounds record and concert tour that is still making its way back and forth across the world. The album has been a phenomenal success, selling more than 8 million records and spawning five hit singles, including the club staples, “SexyBack,” “My Love,” and “Stoned Love.”
Apparently, that wasn’t enough for Justin Timberlake. Midway through the first leg of his tour, he started complaining to journalists about people he was angry with (Prince) and worried about (Britney), how difficult touring was and how disappointed he was that the album wasn’t being recognized as the significant shift in pop culture he thinks it is.
But no matter. He’s still selling out arenas left and right, wins handfuls of awards and has been in the studio with Madonna. As usual, Justin Timberlake knows exactly how to bring sexy back.
as much as it hurts me to see them together i feel alot better about him bein with her then with all the other girls he's been with like if they werent celebs i can see them bein the timberlakes down the street so anyway they make a good couple or a cute couple anyway i dont know them to say a good one
RE: just and jess
new news:The singer is going to pop the question to the ‘I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry’ actress, who sparked rumours she is pregnant after she recently stopped drinking.
A source said: “Justin is 27 and thinking about marriage and kids. For the first time in his life he is feeling settled and has definitely decided to pop the question to Jessica.
“He is so happy with her. They spent quite a bit of time apart recently when Justin was working with Madonna. That made him certain Jessica was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
”
It has also been revealed the ‘SexyBack’ singer is planning to fly friends and family to the exclusive 1,400-acre privately owned island of Mustique in the West Indies for the wedding, to prevent paparazzi from photographing the ceremony.
The source added to Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “To get all his friends and family to Mustique will cost a fortune but he can’t put a price on how he feels about Jessica. Then there are the rumours about a baby being on the way.
my view on the matter:
when i heard this i was like: wow are you serious i haven't heard anything about that i think i'm gonna cry too wow but like i said i'd much rather see him with her then the other women he's been with but to think that i will never be able to meet him and win his heart (lol w/ tears) is really gonna kill me if and when this does happen
more news Body: Justin Timberlake has been shopping for an engagement ring. The singer is planning to propose to Jessica Biel and is asking her close friends to help him choose the perfect diamond band.
A pal of Jessica's told the Chicago Sun Times newspaper: "Justin has been ring shopping, and we're talking serious, major Harry Winston-type shopping here. "He has been quizzing Jessica's closest pals and associates, trying to get a take on the kind of engagement rings she has admired.
The only comment I ever heard Jessica make was when she complimented a mutual friend's square-cut emerald ring - when a girlfriend of ours got engaged. It was huge!" Justin's friends claim the 'SexyBack' singer realised he wanted to take his relationship with Jessica to the next level after their busy work schedules kept them apart for long periods.
Last month, it was claimed Justin was ready to marry Jessica on the privately owned island of Mustique in the West Indies. A source said: "Justin is 27 and thinking about marriage and kids. For the first time in his life he is feeling settled and has definitely decided to pop the question to Jessica."

Justin was on Jay Leno last nite, and when asked if engaged he denied it quick, fast,and in a hurry. But you have to think about it this is a man that will fight for his privacy do you really think he is openly goin to come out and say yes I'm plannin on gettin married to Jess soon. Granted he is now speaking about their relationship a lil more. ( even sayin her name when just a few months ago not a word would be spoken of any Jessica) So maybe he would say yeah I'm lookin to get seriuos, but another thing is if you look at the articles that I placed with my post above they say he wanted to get married to her on a private island, and recent reports of timberland have said that he and his long time girlfriend are plannin on gettin married on a privae island so it could have all been a mix up.Come on timberland/timberlake easy mistake right.
