Justin Timberlake has lived an interesting life. He was born in Memphis, Tennessee and would be raised in a little town right outside of Memphis called Millington. In 1993, he joined the Mickey Mouse Club where he would meet Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
Timberlake would go on to be the frontman of boy band NSync and would begin their debut in Germany in the mid-1990s before debuting in the states in 1998. The band took a break and Timberlake broke out on his own proving he could also hold his own as a music force to be reckoned with.
Timberlake wouldn't realize his own success until the hits Rock Your Body and Cry Me a River would take off in 2002 and 2003 making Timberlake a force to be reckoned with as a pop artist in his own right. By the end of 2003, Timberlake was on his way to a fortune with McDonald's Ad Campaign "I'm Lovin It' where Timberlake's deal earned him over a reported six million dollars.
In February 2004, Janet Jackson and Timberlake performed together at the 2004 Super Bowl where the infamous disrobing of Jackson would later become a pop culture buzz with the lyrics "have you naked before the end of this song" would take on a new meaning. A formal apology was given at the 2004 Grammy Awards where Timberlake issued an apology and then captured two Grammy Awards including Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album.
Justin Timberlake has become an entrepreneur as well. He's opened several restaurants and started his own clothing line. Timberlake has been associated with Britney Spears and Cameron Diaz romantically. He's an avid golfer and has been spotted gambling in the Tunica Mississippi casinos where his mother has often been spotted as well in the casinos and the Grand Casino's Bellissimo Spa at the Harrah's property.
Teen People adorned Timberlake with the "sexiest man" title. Additionally, Cosmopolitan magazine has given Justin Timberlake similar attention.
