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 has reportedly agreed a plea deal in his driving while intoxicated (DWI) case, and will instead plead guilty to a traffic violation.The singer’s lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., and prosecutors got the judge in the case to sign off on the deal, according to TMZ, so the DWI charge is now dropped.
Instead, Timberlake will plead guilty to driving while ability impaired (DWAI), usually a less serious charge than DWI – a violation, rather than a misdemeanour or felony.TMZ also reported that Timberlake will pay a fine between $300 and $500.
However, the judge will set the exact amount during a hearing on Friday (September 13), when the plea deal officially goes before the court.The former *NSYNC star was arrested on June 18 after allegedly driving through a stop sign and swerving out of his lane.
He was charged with the misdemeanour offence of SWI at the time. He allegedly told the officer that he’d had one martini, and was following friends home in his car.
