Rumors and Rumblings About…
When I’m not on stage, I’m kind of shy. If you see me and I don’t say much, don’t think I’m not taking in what you have to say. I’m just not a big talker. ~Justin Timberlake
Is a fan of Björk, Kylie Minogue, and Dannii Minogue
Loves skiing and snowboarding, basketball and golf
Favorite ice cream is Baskin Robbins Daquiri Ice, and “the best burgers in the world” are from The General Store in Shelby Forest, Tennessee (as he told Barbara Walters on 20/20)
Collects sports jerseys, sneakers, and owns several Harley Davidsons and three Mercedes Benzes
Became member of *NSYNC at 14; mother Lynn Harless, manager to all-girl group Innosense, coined the band’s name by using the last letter of the first name of each of the members
2000 [November] sued by an *NSYNC fan who alleged he had “assaulted� her by pushing her against a wall during an altercation—after a St. Louis concert where the 15-year-old had felt snubbed, had yelled J.C. Chasez was cuter, and had been sent to Justin’s hotel room to [apologize?]
Biggest fears include sharks, snakes, spiders, getting knocked unconscious onstage as fans toss stuffed animals, and dying unloved
When he can’t sleep, he sings to himself until he finally nods off
