Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981) is an American singer-songwriter, actor, record producer, businessman, and philanthropist. And that one follows him around like a bad dream.Ī few months ago – after attending the Mike Tyson-Lennox Lewis dust-up in Memphis and buying himself a new $115,000 V-12 493-horsepower Mercedes S600 (“It’s pimp, so pimp!”) – Timberlake checked in to one of the luxe rooms at the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Manhattan, went to see the Lakers whomp the Nets at New Jersey’s Continental Airlines Arena and during the game had to deal with this older dude demanding to know if Timberlake was still seeing Spears, and what, exactly, was the story between them.Singer-songwriter, actor, record producer, businessmanĬhristina Aguilera, Jay-Z, 'N Sync, Timbaland, The Tennessee Kids It’s been quite some journey for him, of course, an improbable slue to fame that seems to have left him kissed by blessings in all areas of life except one. ![]() You keep searching for somebody as good as your mother, and that’s a losing battle.” She’s always been there beside me, and I think that’s part of my problem with girls. She goes out with me and stays out later than I do. “She’s been my best friend since I figured out who I wanted to be. (In fact, the tabloids reported seeing Timberlake and his mom before Christmas at the club Lotus in New York, sharing a joint.) “We have a very special relationship,” he says. The two spend lots of time together away from home, too. He says, often and without prompting, that he loves his mother very much. But I always like to do everything at its best, and that just seems like settling, doesn’t it?” I mean, it is what it is, a safe haven, there when you need it, and I don’t feel guilty about it. “I can honestly say I am a Christian, but my spirituality has been developed on the road and is based on my experiences with God.” He claims to never have been a frequent masturbator. He says that during his acne years, he was popularly known as Pizza Face and that, as a kid, he attended a nearby Baptist church with his folks but felt rejected by its frowning, judging elders and eventually found his own place with the Lord, no church required. He says that when he listens to Eminem, it makes him want to “beat the shit out of somebody – and if you can give me a feeling like that with a song, man, that’s music,” though he thinks Eminem probably wouldn’t like Justified at all. So anything you want to talk to him about, you go right ahead. He’s comfortable here, resting up until he has to embark on a promo tour that will last until February, which will be followed by a club-date tour in the spring and an arena tour in the summer. They’ve all stayed put, which is why Timberlake has a home to go to. Plus, it’s not like his family has uprooted itself, moved to Los Angeles, bought Bentleys, gone in for plastic surgery and fallen out with one another, lawsuits resulting. Timberlake has given no thought to deep-sixing ‘NSync in fact, he and the guys are slated to start a new album in the fall. Sure, much has changed since ‘NSync began cranking out their four albums but much is the same, too. One great thing about Timberlake is that, while he’s no longer all that quiet, he’s still as friendly and open as he must have been as a kid. ![]()
