Justin Timberlake's Restaurant Has a Secret Menu (It's Mice)
Gabrielle Bluestone · 08/10/15 11:37AMHave you been to Justin Timberlake’s New York restaurant, Southern Hospitality—a “hotspot” “fine dining” establishment in that it 1) has wifi, 2) serves food and 3) is fine, I guess, if we’re being charitable? Did you happen to notice if the place was overrun with mice? Because New York City’s Department of Health did.
Justin Timberlake Announces He's Pregnant
Hudson Hongo · 02/01/15 11:00AMFallon and Timberlake Go Back to '90s Summer Camp to Sing "Jumper"
Jay Hathaway · 12/17/14 10:10AMThe duo of Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon took it all the way back to the summer camp of your '90s childhood last night in a sketch where they landed roughly 1.5 good jokes, one of which was "Remember Third Eye Blind's 'Jumper?'" Pretty good joke.

Allie Jones · 11/05/14 09:32AMJustin Timberlake: "I Am America"
Rich Juzwiak · 05/12/14 08:58AMJustin Timberlake appeared on last night's season premiere of Oprah Presents Master Class. By asking celebrities to discuss their success and the reasons for it in what amounts to a 40+ minute monologue, the show is basically a setup for failure or at least rambling self-indulgence. The brags, be they of the humble variety or original recipe, abound.
Nipplegate at 10: How Justin Won Superbowl XXXVIII, and How Janet Lost
Rich Juzwiak · 01/30/14 01:40PMThe AMAs Was Mostly Just White People Being Weird About Race
Rich Juzwiak · 11/25/13 11:00AMKaty Perry opened Sunday's American Music Awards in geisha drag. Or maybe it was Madonna circa '99 drag. Either way, and as usual, her look and performance were tedious and bereft of personality. Perhaps Perry realized the best she could do was make Twitter users cluck their tongues, and inspire think pieces in which the word "problematic" would feature prominently.
Songs from Justin Timberlake's New Album, in Order of Embarrassment
Rich Juzwiak · 10/03/13 01:30PMWhatever Justin Timberlake had, musically, he's lost—at least for now, if his excruciating The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2 is an indication. Some critics who stretched to defend the uninspired first half of this unpleasant "experience" earlier this year can't even muster a pro argument for this collection of outtakes of an album that already sounded like outtakes in the first place (2 of 2 is to 1 of 2 as 1 of 2 is to FutureSex/LoveSounds). The guy has nothing to say, and so he structures the majority of the overlong songs here around thematic metaphors, like R. Kelly without the humor, smarts, panache, individuality, and soul. His trusty producer, responsible for the bulk of 2 of 2's beats similarly has nothing new to say. Who's hungry for twice-reheated '00s revivalism?
Justin Timberlake Leads the Obamas In a Charming Otis Redding Sing-Along
Maggie Lange · 04/10/13 11:05AMLast night, President Obama and the First Lady hosted the 10th concert in the In Performance at the White House series. Justin Timberlake, professional charmer and sometimes-crooner, encouraged his hosts to join him for Otis Redding's "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay." Timberlake appealed to the whole ragtag bunch of fancy concert-goers by cajoling: "Mr. President, everybody, come on!"
Justin Timberlake's New Album Is as Mediocre as We Knew It Would Be
Rich Juzwiak · 03/12/13 03:53PMJustin Timberlake's third album, The 20/20 Experience, would be a disappointment were we not adequately prepared to be underwhelmed. This is the kind of album whose mellow, nothing-more-than-nice first single is puzzling until you hear the rest of the album and realize that it's the most commercial pop on a collection whose musical m.o. is to be nothing more than nice. "Suit & Tie," at least, has a sense of spunk, which is more than can be said for most of 20/20. The album sounds like a conscious attempt at musical maturity that is never quite earned or fully realized.
Justin Timberlake's New Album Is Now Streaming Online
Taylor Berman · 03/11/13 08:19PMThe Bud Light Platinum spokesperson and five-time Saturday Night Live host is streaming his long-awaited new album, The 20/20 Experience, on iTunes for free a week before its scheduled release. What do you think? Do you care? Is it better than the mediocre lead-off single "Suit and Tie"? Should he just go back to his overrated acting career? Let's discuss.
Justin Timberlake Returns Kanye West’s Glove Slap in the Weeniest Music Beef Ever
Rich Juzwiak · 03/11/13 11:35AMWhile performing the musical equivalent of twinkletoes, "Suit & Tie," on Saturday Night Live this weekend, Justin Timberlake altered one of its lines in an apparent jab at Kanye West. "My hit's so slick got rappers acting dramatic," sang Timberlake instead of the usual, "Shit so sick got a hit and picked up a habit." Oooh, burn. Calling Kanye West dramatic is like calling him a rapper or an oxygen breather.
Justin Timberlake Continues To Sleepwalk Through His Comeback With Another Underwhelming Performance
Rich Juzwiak · 02/21/13 11:30AMJustin Timberlake performed "Mirrors" from his upcoming 20/20 Experience album at last night's BRIT Awards in London. When that track was released after the Grammy Awards, it seemed like an energizing, skittery return to FutureSex/LoveSounds Justin. In the live context, it was just as dull as his R. Kelly-lite Grammys rendition of "Suit & Tie" and "Pusher Love Girl."
Here's the David Fincher Directed Music Video for Justin Timberlake's 'Suit & Tie' (Feat. Jay-Z)
Neetzan Zimmerman · 02/14/13 11:00AMJustin Timberlake Is Now the Creative Director for Bud Light Platinum
Taylor Berman · 02/07/13 09:11PMAfter an ill-advised foray into acting and the release of a mediocre comeback single, there was only one direction left for Justin Timberlake to take: creative director for Anheuser Busch's high-alcohol new-ish product, Bud Light Platinum. As part of his new gig, Timberlake will be in charge of providing Bud Light Platinum's "creative, musical and cultural curation." He will also star in a commercial for the beer, which will debut during Sunday's Grammy Awards. Timberlake's take on the move?
