Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981), occasionally known by his initials JT, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer.
Raised in Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
Timberlake began to adopt a more mature image as an artist with the release of his debut solo album, the R&B-focused Justified (2002), which yielded the successful singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body", and earned his first two Grammy Awards.
Justin Timberlake Expected to Plead Guilty in DWI Case
variety.comGene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Justin Timberlake is expected to plead guilty in Sag Harbor, N.Y., on Friday in connection with his drunk driving arrest in June, according to local reports.
Timberlake, 43, was charged with DWI after police stopped him for weaving out of his lane and failing to obey a stop sign. The arresting officer reported that his eyes were “bloodshot” and “glassy,” and that he performed poorly on a field sobriety test.
Timberlake refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test. Timberlake’s lawyer had previously denied that his client was drunk. “The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI,” the attorney, Ed Burke, said in July.
Burke had no comment on the plea agreement, which was first reported by TMZ and confirmed by Newsday, citing “sources familiar with the details of the case.” TMZ reported that the misdemeanor DWI charge — generally imposed for a blood-alcohol level of .08 and above — would be reduced to a “driving while ability impaired” charge, a lower level violation that carries a fine of $300-$500 and a temporary license suspension.
