Justin Timberlake

He has a couple movies coming out, so I assume he's doing damage control.

Not buying it.

One movie is Palmer. He was notoriously papped getting a little too cozy with his co-star Alisha Wainwright.

He had later apologized to Jessica Biel publicly for his "lapse in judgment".

"Damage control" should be his middle name at this point.

That Janet Jackson was disproportionately punished for the Super Bowl incident isn't Justin's fault, but that's not exactly what people are mad about. It's the fact that he built an entire career off of black culture and musical forms, and yet remained conspicuously silent when it came to defending an actual black person.  

P.S. Some would say this incident was another example of how J. Timberlake got a little too comfortable with black culture in a problematic way: Justin Timberlake Sparks Twitter Backlash After Calling Madonna His ----: The singer is in hot water over offensive birthday tweet.

He responded to the "comments" and tags on social media more quickly (by deleting the tweet) than he had responded to the "comments" of outrage on how he had (allegedly) treated Britney and Janet.

His apology, acting like this is the first time he's had to think about this, is such absolute horseshit.

Pretty sure he groveled with the Grammy people behind the scenes then went on stage and apologized (pre agreed to) while they disinvited Janet so I do blame him for how she was treated too. There are some pretty good Britney receipt threads on Twitter. He would sing about her being crazy during cry me a river in Tour 2007/8 ish/ after her problems.

He’s been arrested for a DWI in The Hamptons. As of this morning he’s still in custody. No word on whether Jessica was in the car with him.

Hire a goddam Uber or a driver.

Jessica wasn't with him.

TMZ has obtained the police report tied to Justin Timberlake's arrest -- and the cops spell out exactly what they say they saw while Justin was on the road. Per the doc, Sag Harbor police say they first spotted Justin after he blew past a stop sign a little more than half a mile away from the American Hotel ... where he left a get-together with friends.

Cops say that's when they started following Justin ... at which point they claim he failed to stay in a straight line on the road -- tailing him for about another half mile before they finally hit the lights. Justin was eventually pulled over at an intersection -- which is in a residential area, mind you -- and at that point, cops say they suspected he was under the influence.

The signs that cops cite for their determination ... bloodshot/glassy eyes, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath, unable to divide attention, slowed speech, unsteady afoot ... and cops go on to say he performed poorly on all field sobriety tests.

One last thing ... cops claim Justin said, "I had one martini and I followed my friends home." There's no mention of Justin's friends intervening in this police report, but we're told friends of his attempted to intervene during this stop ... asking them to cut him a break.

Celebs who have insane amounts of money could easily hire a driver or an uber/lyft. Why they go out socializing and drinking then driving is beyond me. If us mere mortals have to be responsible, why can't they?

“The police officer 'was so young that he didn't even know' who Timberlake was' and 'didn't recognize him or his name,' a source told Page Six on Tuesday.

The Grammy-winning artist, 43, referenced his ongoing The Forget Tomorrow World Tour during the arrest, a separate source told the outlet.

'Justin said under his breath, "This is going to ruin the tour,"' the source said. 'The cop replied, "What tour?" Justin said, "The world tour."'

This might be the most satisfying bit of celebrity gossip I have ever read.

It was at this point that the officer confirmed his suspicions that this man was very drunk. I just love that the cop was too young to know him and anything else he said was just going to come off as completely wackadoo. What's up, OLD?!

They do. Isn't that why he was arrested?
