He first stole our hearts as he serenaded us with “This I Promise You”, and he has held our hearts for over the past decade. Now, Justin Timberlake is back with a new single, “Suits and Ties”, and his fans are flocking. JT has accomplished everything from opening his own restaurant to performing parodies on SNL to marrying the beautiful Jessica Biel. Here are some of the most memorable moments of that curly-haired cutie.
N*SYNC
Like One Direction today or The Beatles of the past, everyone in the 90’s knew who N*SYNC was, and the biggest heart throb of them all was Justin Timberlake. Their synchronized dance moves and heart-warming harmonizing had girls falling in love with this band. Hits like “Tearin’ Up My Heart”, “Bye, Bye, Bye”, and “I Want You Back” still play on my iPod because these classics will never die.
Relationship with Britney Spears
They were like Mickey and Minnie or Cinderella and Prince Charming. Everyone thought that Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, both former Mickey Mouse Club members, were an ideal match. Two of the most popular singers of that time were dating, and the public was questioning when the wedding would be. Unfortunately, the lovebirds separated after three years, and many think that the meltdown of Britney Spears started after JT broke her heart. Whose heart wouldn’t be broken after breaking up with him?
Bringing Sexy Back
When Justin went solo, it was unknown if he could make it without his 4 other band mates. But without missing a beat, Justin Timberlake was topping the charts with his solo career. Some of his greatest solo hits include “Cry Me a River”, “4 Minutes to Save the World” with Madonna, and “Sexy Back.” I had no doubt that JT’s sexiness had disappeared, but “Sexy Back” reconfirmed it, even if he did have a slight wardrobe malfunction performing with Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl.
SNL
When Justin Timberlake performs on SNL you would think that he is one of the cast members. Some of his greatest skits include “Motherlover”, “Target Lady”, “Di—in a Box”, “Mozart”, and his dance moves in “Single Ladies”. He has become a regular on the show thanks to his quick quips and side-curling skits. I, personally, cannot wait for Justin to return to SNL and bring more memorable laughs!

JT on the Big Screen
Very few celebrities can accompany a successful singing career with a thriving acting career, but Justin Timberlake has managed to do so. For those true fans (like myself), you saw him start off his acting career in “Model Behavior”, but he has accomplished bigger roles since then. No one knew he had an acting ability in him, but if you watch his roles in “Alpha Dog”, “The Social Network”, “Friends with Benefits”, and “Trouble with the Curve”, you can see he is a natural.
Clothing Line: William Rast
The all-around talented Timberlake can add fashion designer to his resume. In 2005, he started a quality brand denim line that has now expanded to include leather goods, outerwear, wovens, knits, and eyewear.
Southern Hospitality BBQ
Not only has Justin been able to satisfy our hearts, but also our stomachs as a co-creator of Southern BBQ restaurant in NYC. This successful restaurant attracts tourists, Hollywood stars, and locals to salivate over their ribs and fried chicken, while also receiving the kindness in a good southern boy.
Marriage to Jessica Biel
Who better to share all his success with than the gorgeous actress Jessica Biel? The newlyweds have been dating since 2007, and although there were rocky times in the relationship, the couple solidified their love for each other with a lavish Italian wedding this past October.
