Justin
Timberlake
Born
January 31, 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee, Timberlake's show business
career began early with a TV debut at age 11 on the 80's talent
competition show, Star Search, which he ultimately lost.
His
first big break came when he was later cast in The New Mickey
Mouse Club, where he first met his future girlfriend, Britney
Spears, along with future fellow 'N SYNC star, JC Chasez and
pop star Christina
Aguilera.
With their
Mousketeer days coming to a close, Timberlake and JC Chasez joined
up to form what was to become 'N
SYNC, one of the biggest boy bands of the decade.
Along the
way, Timberlake began producing and co-writing various tracks,
ultimately leading to a solo album, Justified that resulted
in a string of top ten hits including Like I Love You, Rock
My Body and Cry Me A River, rumored to be about his
breakup with Britney Spears.
In 2004, he
was suddenly swept up in tabloid headlines when he appeared alongside
Janet
Jackson during her now-infamous "wardrobe
malfunction" during the Super Bowl halftime game televised
around the world.
In 2006, Timberlake
topped the charts at No. 1 with his latest album, FutureSex/LoveSounds,
and later took on hosting duties for this year's MTV
Europe Music Awards in November.
Timberlake
had been romantically linked with actress Cameron
Diaz up until a breakup in early 2007. However, their association
continued (on film, at least) when he appeared in the cast list
in Shrek
the Third in which Diaz reprised her role as Princess
Fiona, and Timberlake as the voice of Artie (a young King Arthur),
a hesitant heir to the throne.
That same
year, he received four nominations at the 49th annual Grammy
Awards, and was back on the big screen with a starring role
in the feature film, Alpha Dog. Millions of pre-teens were
also delighted to see the pop star getting
slimed on a national television appearance as host of the
Kid's
Choice Awards in March 2007.
In 2008, Timberlake
has been tapped to host the highly popular ESPY
Awards, with accolades given for the best in sports performances
from the past year, airing July 20.
