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.
‘Elsbeth’ Season 2 premiere takes jab at Justin Timberlake with ‘driving drunk’ joke
nypost.comhis recent DWI.The “Cry Me a River” singer, 43, was the butt of a joke in the Season 2 premiere of the CBS police procedural “Elsbeth,” which made a not-so-subtle reference to his June arrest in the Hamptons.
During the first few minutes of the prime-time series’ second season opener, which aired Thursday, Oct. 17, the show’s titular lead Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) and her NYPD pal Kaya Blanke (Carra Patterson) take a stroll through the streets of Manhattan and opine the summer’s lack of salacious crimes that required their crime-solving capabilities. “What happened to all our high-profile cases?” Tascioni bemoans. “Oh, they’re all in Martha’s Vineyard, Tuscany … driving drunk in Sag Harbor,” Blanke responds before she and Tascioni share a sardonic smirk and then laugh.
Timberlake was charged with driving while intoxicated after being arrested in Sag Harbor, New York, on June 18. The pop star was cited for running a stop sign and failing to keep in his lane.
He refused to take a breathalyzer and infamously remarked that the incident would “ruin the tour.” When the arresting officer asked, “What tour?” Timberlake replied, “The world tour.” The singer is currently on his Forget Tomorrow world tour.
