Justin
Randall Timberlake was born on 31st January 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee.
This musically historical place had already produced musical idols like
Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis. For obvious reasons this cute boy was
given the nickname 'Curly'. |
| When
he was twelve he was discovered at an audition for the Mickey Mouse Club
kids show. He moved with his mother to Orlando, where he not only gained
more showbiz experience but in his two years on the show he also got to
know J.C. as well as Chritina Aquilera and his future girlfriend Britney
Spears. When Disney cancelled the show it was perfect timing for Justin in
many ways. *NSYNC was just starting out and they were able to devote all
their energy to the band. His faith and his spirituality are the
characteristics that keep him down to earth in the face of such major
celebrity. Stardom has its down sides as well and the constant attention
is sometimes difficult to deal with. |

His
relationship with Britney Spears has kept him in the headlines, even when
he'd rather not be. It seems the stress has been too much for him at
times. At the end of December 2000 a woman launched a lawsuit against
Justin and the *NSYNC security team for alleged verbal abuse, and verbal
and physical intimidation of her daughter. The incident seems to have
occurred when Justin refused to sign an autograph and the girl shouted 'J.c.'s
much cuter anyway.' Justin is alleged to have had her taken into the hotel
by security where he then verbally abused. Recent reports have also
claimed Justin refused to sign autographs and was rude to fans while in
Los Angeles for the American Music Awards. |

Almost
from birth Justin was showing signs of his performing potential. Dancing
along to the radio at just a few months old; singing in harmony by two and
a half. Although his parents divorced when he was young he remains close
to his father and his mother, Lynne. He coped with the divorce with the
church's help and of course was an active member of the church choir.
Justin gained his first stage experience through various talent shows and
continued to develop his already considerable talents with the aid of
voice lessons. |
