Do you think Justin was MORE involved then he let on at the time?

That’s a hell of a reach I listened and where he diss Prince?
The lines about sexyback were directed towards Prince who had been asked about the song and said something to the effect of how did he bring sexy back when it never left

Justin Timberlake took NSYNC fans to a better place Wednesday night by reuniting with his former boy band members to perform some of their greatest hits in Los Angeles.

J.C. Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and Chris Kirkpatrick joined Timberlake on stage at the Wiltern for his one-night-only show, where they performed live together for the first time in more than a decade. The set list included past hits "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me," as well as the group's recently released song "Paradise," a feature on Timberlake's upcoming sixth studio album, Everything I Thought I Was.

The group previously linked up at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards to present Taylor Swift with the Best Pop prize, sparking speculation about new music two decades after their 2004 split. "Are you doing something? What's gonna happen now?" a flabbergasted Swift asked on stage. "They're gonna do something, and I need to know what it is."



New music did, in fact, come in the form of "Better Place," the group's first song together since the 2001 album Celebrity. The upbeat pop track was recorded for the soundtrack of Timberlake's animated film Trolls Band Together.

Wednesday's reunion marked the first time NSYNC performed together since the 2013 VMAs, where Timberlake was awarded the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. Other performances at the Wiltern show included Timberlake's hits "Suit & Tie," "Rock Your Body," "My Love," "Señorita" "Sanctified," and "Cry Me a River."

Michael Arkinson, the Sag Harbor Police Department officer who arrested Justin Timberlake on suspicion of driving while intoxicated last summer, has been awarded for his work.


The cop was named officer of the year by Chief Rob Drake in a recent ceremony, per TMZ, for making “an immediate impact within the department and the community.”


Timberlake’s DWI case began June 17, 2024 after police reported witnessing him “failing to stop at a duly posted stop sign and failing to maintain his lane of travel” while operating in Sag Harbor. Arkinson noted in a court filing that “the defendant was operating said vehicle in an intoxicated condition in that his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests.”


The Grammy winner had also reportedly told Arkinson during the arrest, “I had one martini and I followed my friends home.” Timberlake’s lawyer also argued that his client wasn’t drunk at all during the arrest.


In September, Timberlake moved forward with a plea deal after previously pleading not guilty to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge. After pleading guilty in New York’s Sag Harbor Village Court, according to the Associated Press, Timberlake was sentenced to a $500 fine with a $260 surcharge as well as 25 hours of community service at a nonprofit of his choosing.
