Drunk driving is the perfect sign that you are an entitled asshole. There's no reason to be drunk driving.

Especially with the money he has. He could have a limo on standby and not notice a dent in his accounts. Just use a damn car service.

Dude. You're rich. Take an Uber. You can take another one tomorrow to pick up your fancy car.

Or crash into a tree and don't take other people with you.

Unfortunately, this does not seem to be a positive step in Timberlake's mission to bring sexy back.

The way he treated Britney and janet... He never had it...

Anecdotal of course, but my mother was in a position to manage private flights for an airline, she did this for many many years, she let me know that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Beal were the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

I trust this bro...

This is just how these people are. I really don't understand why we have a culture where peasants worship them or executives or politicians or rich people overall.

It is pathetic yet this is the current standard behavior from most people.

For sure. I do also just want to make a note, VIPs were what she dealt with, celebrities, ceos, politicians, but she never really had anything to say about most behavior because it was somewhat normalized, those two went above and beyond.

That is not exclusively, but mainly an american thing.

He treated them fine. Brittany was bad to him. I suspect Janet wanted the top pulled off. The press and music industry did Janet wrong, but Timberlake was not bad to those ladies.

Hmmm getting some conflicting info here...

Didn't he brag about popings her cheery around 2000? What did she do to him to warrant that?

Are we just assuming Janet was asking for it?

The Superbowl thing was pretty clearly a publicity stunt gone wrong. Makes a lot more sense being planned by Jackson's side vs Timberlake's.

And so what if he bragged about being her first? She dumped him pretty publicly. Everyone knew it at the time. The "Cry Me A River" music video was revenge for that whole situation, and the public ate it up because we all knew she did him wrong. It kick-started his solo career.

Yeah you aint really bringing anything here beyond different interpretation of the same facts.

Is it now called a DWI instead of DUI? That threw me for a loop.

Depends on the state, but DUI is a broader category encompassing driving while being under the "influence" of something: drugs, alcohol, etc

DWI is usually specifically driving while intoxicated by alcohol.

Just because the post complies with one rule doesn't mean that it is now exempt from all other rules. I already posted the part of the rules which it violates: "No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed."

What does "coming in so hot" mean? Posting something that you disagree with?

The first 2 lines of my previous comment focuses on your other rule issue.

This is none of the things in your list using the proper definition of gossip.

Coming in hot

I was suggesting you should pause before acting because you were confidently incorrect about the definition of the word gossip.

"Prominent figures" - artificially manufactured entertainers are prominent figures in terms of news?

Yeah, where have you been? The concept of a celebrity is not new.

See that's where I made my mistake. I forgot that people are much more invested in others' lives, rather than the events that occur around them. My bad, you're right. It's vital that we know what's going on in Justin Timberlake's life at all times.

Where did I say it's vital? Lol. I don't give a shit. But it's still news. I don't care about everything that's in the news, do you? Sounds exhausting.
