NSYNC will not have a reunion
NSYNC fans who were hoping the pop boy band would reunite for a new CD or tour were given some bad news this week.
During an interview with MTV, former NSYNCer J.C. Chasez said the group will not participate in any reunion projects. He said “I keep in touch with all of them. We don’t want to do it because we already did that and it was fun, but we’re done with it.”
The group’s self-titled debut album was released in spring 1998, followed by a Christmas album in winter 1998. “No Strings Attached” was released in 2000, and their final album “Celebrity” was released in 2001.
The five group members went solo, but Justin Timberlake was the only one who reached a certain level of success after the group disbanded.
An interesting fact about the group’s name: the name NSYNC came from the last letters of the group members’ first names– JustiN Timberlake, ChriS Kirkpatrick, JoeY Fatone, JasoN Galasso and J.C.Chasez.
Galasso dropped out of the group before their first album was released, and he was replaced by Lance Bass.
Did Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel break up?
Did Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel break up? That’s what a popular entertainment magazine is alleging.
Timberlake and Biel are on the cover of the latest issue of US Weekly magazine. The magazine claims they have broken up after three years.
However, People magazine is reporting they are still together, and they were photographed holding hands earlier this week.
Which doesn’t mean much because I remember LeAnn Rimes was photographed kissing her husband Dean Sheremet, then they filed for divorce shortly after the kiss.
If the break up news turns out to be true, I would be disappointed because I had high hopes for Timberlake and Biel as a couple. They seemed like the perfect pair.
Meanwhile, Timberlake is preparing for his upcoming role in the Facebook film “The Social Network.” Biel is currently filming “A-Team,” which is based on the 1980s television show.
Justin Timberlake to star in Facebook movie
Facebook currently has more than 300 million users, and Hollywood is ready to capitalize on it by creating a film about the popular social networking site.
“The Social Network” will star pop singer Justin Timberlake, Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield.
According to Variety magazine, Timberlake will portray Napster co-founder and Facebook president Sean Parker. Garfield will portray Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin while Eisenberg will play the other co-founder Mark Zuckerberg.
This isn’t Timberlake’s first attempt at non-fiction movies.
Timberlake convincingly portrayed Frankie Ballenbacher in the 2006 film “Alpha Dog,” which is about convicted murderer Jesse James Hollywood.
Shooting on the film will begin at the end of the year.
Actor Kevin Spacey will serve as the film’s executive producer, and the script was written by “West Wing” creator Aaron Sorkin.

Justin Timberlake to host Saturday Night Live
Pop singer turned actor Justin Timberlake will make another appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live tonight (May 30)
He will be hosting the show and appearing in numerous skits throughout the night. Timberlake has appeared on the show several times, and he’s proven that he has respectable comedy skills. I’m sure he won’t disappoint tonight either.
The musical guest will be R&B singer Ciara whose hit songs include “Goodies,” “1,2 Step” and “Like A Boy.”
Ciara collaborated with Timberlake for her new single titled “Love Sex Magic.” I’m assuming they will perform that song on tonight’s episode as well.
