With 10 Grammys, four Emmys and the music media-bestowed title of the "Prince of Pop", it once seemed unfathomable that Justin Timberlake’s musical crown could slip so far.
A shining star of 1990s and early 2000s pop music, Timberlake, now 43, parlayed his boyband beginnings and relationship with Britney Spears, then the biggest pop star on the planet, into an acclaimed, award-winning solo career.
Somewhere along the line, the culture shifted in ways Timberlake not only failed to anticipate, but also failed to move with.
His past actions and behaviour, particularly in relation to Spears and Janet Jackson, have been put under the microscope by a new generation in a less-forgiving cultural landscape, while his new music became the subject of a vitriolic review that went viral.
Timberlake was recently arrested for driving while intoxicated in New York during a stop on his world tour, which began in April to support his newest studio album, Everything I Thought It Was, creating just another black mark in his rapidly tarnishing reputation.
Here, The National charts the rise, decline and ultimate fall of Timberlake.
1992: Early promise
Aged 11, the Tennessee-born star performs Love's Got a Hold on You by country star Alan Jackson for his appearance on US television talent show Star Search.
Performing under the name Justin Randall, he does not win, but the fame bug bites.
1993-1994: Rising talent
He wins a spot as a Mouseketeer on Disney children’s TV show The All-New Mickey Mouse Club. His fellow cast members include Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and his future Nsync bandmate JC Chasez.
“If my parents hadn't got me to those auditions, at some point I would have found a way myself,” Timberlake told The Guardian.
1995-2002: Global fame
Along with Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and JC Chasez, Timberlake finds fame with boy band Nsync and they break through with their second album, No Strings Attached, in 2000.
Featuring the monster hit Bye Bye Bye, it wins three American Music Awards and five Billboard Music Awards. The group goes on hiatus in 2002 following their Celebrity Tour.
1999-2002: Ultimate power couple
As Nsync establish themselves, Timberlake receives a priceless publicity boost thanks to his relationship with the biggest pop star in the world, Britney Spears. The pair go public in 1999, elevating Timberlake’s fame far above that of his bandmates.
November 2002: Solo success
Timberlake releases his debut solo album, Justified. Produced by Timbaland and The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo), the album is a critical and commercial success. Debuting at number two on the Billboard 200, it spawns four hit singles and wins the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album.
In his 2007 book Out of Sync: A Memoir, Bass said he and the band felt blindsided by Timberlake’s solo career, writing: “I felt completely betrayed. It ****** me off that Justin's life got set up perfectly before he came back to the rest of us.”
November 2002: Winning the public’s sympathy
Cry Me A River, the second track from Justified is released with the video featuring a Spears lookalike.
The song’s lyrics, “You told me you love me / Why did you leave me all alone?” were taken by the media and fans as proof of Spears’s alleged infidelity.
Timberlake tells People: “You get to a point when you're crying yourself to sleep every night.”
November 2003: Playing the wronged man
Spears’s interview with Diane Sawyer on Primetime helps cement Timberlake’s public persona as the betrayed party.
Sawyer drives Spears to tears with a barrage of questions including: “You broke his heart. You did something that caused him so much pain, so much suffering. What did you do?”
February 2004: Teflon Timberlake
Justin emerges unscathed from the Super Bowl half-time show “wardrobe malfunction” which saw him reveal Janet Jackson’s breast live on air.
Jackson’s music and videos are banned across network platforms causing long-lasting damage to her career. She is banned from the Grammys at which Timberlake performs and wins Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
September 2006: Onwards and upwards
After a foray into film, Timberlake releases his second solo album, the Timbaland-produced FutureSex/LoveSounds which debuts at number one on the Billboard 200.
Three singles, SexyBack, My Love and What Goes Around… Comes Around hit the number one spot.
2010: Acclaimed film role
Timberlake flexes his acting muscles in a critically-acclaimed role as Napster founder Sean Parker the David Fincher-directed film The Social Network.
2013: More Grammys
Timberlake’s fourth album, The 20/20 Experience, becomes the best-selling album of 2013 in the US, with two of the singles, Suit and Tie and Pusher Love Girl, winning Grammys for Best Music Video and Best R&B Song.
February 2018: ‘Musical misstep’
The star’s fifth studio album, Man of The Woods, is released two days before he headlines the Super Bowl half-time show. Although it hits the number one spot in the US, the album is not a critical success.
Pitchfork pans it as “musically and thematically shallow”. It adds: “Man of the Woods is a misstep large enough to merit relitigating Justin Timberlake’s status as a pop superstar.”
2019: Cheating rumours
A paparazzo image of Timberlake holding hands with his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright on a night out in New Orleans makes headlines.
“I apologise to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be,” he wrote on Instagram.
January 2021: President’s man
Timberlake and Ant Clemons’s performance of Better Days is broadcast at Joe Biden’s inauguration.
February 2021: Spears documentary reframes Timberlake
The Framing Britney Spears documentary introduces her 2003 interview with Diane Sawyer to a new generation, sparking an outpouring of anger towards Sawyer and Timberlake.
“I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right,” he writes in a now deleted Instagram post.
October 2023: Spears’s memoir puts him under the microscope
In her tell-all book, The Woman in Me, Spears lays bare her relationship with Timberlake, putting out her side of the story, saying she was portrayed as “a harlot who’d broken the heart of America’s golden boy”.
“There's always more leeway in Hollywood for men than for women,” she writes. “And I see how men are encouraged to talk trash about women in order to become famous and powerful.”
January 2024: Vitriolic viral reviews
Timberlake releases Selfish, his first song in almost six years.
A review by the website Consequence goes viral, stating: “Time and again over the last ten years he has gone into the studio with the most accomplished hitmakers in the world, only to produce a tune about as lively as a dead house plant.”
February 2024: Unrepentant views create uncertain future
Days after Spears publicly apologises for how her book had affected Timberlake, he tells the audience at a concert in New York that he’d “like to take this opportunity to apologise to absolutely nobody".
His words are met with anger by Spears supporters, who utilise social media to rally fans to push her 2011 song Selfish above Timberlake's track of the same name in the US iTunes chart.
Timberlake's sixth album, Everything I Thought I Was, is set for release in March. Time will tell what effect his time spent out of the charts, coupled with the ever-changing tastes of a new generation of music fans will have on pop's unrepentant prince.
June 2024: Arrest for drink-driving
The singer is arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated in Sag Harbor, New York, an affluent neighbourhood in the Hamptons.
A statement from the Sag Harbor Police says Timberlake allegedly drove his BMW through a stop sign and failed to stay on the right side of the road.
When he was stopped, his eyes were “bloodshot and glassy” and he had a “strong odour of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath”, reads a charging document. His speech was slow and he performed poorly on the sobriety tests. He also refused a breathalyser.
Timberlake is scheduled to appear virtually at Sag Harbor court on July 26.
He is on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, with stops in Chicago and New York’s Madison Square Garden next.

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026
1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years
If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.
2. E-invoicing in the UAE
Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption.
3. More tax audits
Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks.
4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime
Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.
5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit
There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.
6. Further transfer pricing enforcement
Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes.
7. Limited time periods for audits
Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion.
8. Pillar 2 implementation
Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.
9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services
Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations.
10. Substance and CbC reporting focus
Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.

Iran's dirty tricks to dodge sanctions
There’s increased scrutiny on the tricks being used to keep commodities flowing to and from blacklisted countries. Here’s a description of how some work.
1 Going Dark
A common method to transport Iranian oil with stealth is to turn off the Automatic Identification System, an electronic device that pinpoints a ship’s location. Known as going dark, a vessel flicks the switch before berthing and typically reappears days later, masking the location of its load or discharge port.
2. Ship-to-Ship Transfers
A first vessel will take its clandestine cargo away from the country in question before transferring it to a waiting ship, all of this happening out of sight. The vessels will then sail in different directions. For about a third of Iranian exports, more than one tanker typically handles a load before it’s delivered to its final destination, analysts say.
3. Fake Destinations
Signaling the wrong destination to load or unload is another technique. Ships that intend to take cargo from Iran may indicate their loading ports in sanction-free places like Iraq. Ships can keep changing their destinations and end up not berthing at any of them.
4. Rebranded Barrels
Iranian barrels can also be rebranded as oil from a nation free from sanctions such as Iraq. The countries share fields along their border and the crude has similar characteristics. Oil from these deposits can be trucked out to another port and documents forged to hide Iran as the origin.

Zakat definitions
Zakat: an Arabic word meaning ‘to cleanse’ or ‘purification’.
Nisab: the minimum amount that a Muslim must have before being obliged to pay zakat. Traditionally, the nisab threshold was 87.48 grams of gold, or 612.36 grams of silver. The monetary value of the nisab therefore varies by current prices and currencies.
Zakat Al Mal: the ‘cleansing’ of wealth, as one of the five pillars of Islam; a spiritual duty for all Muslims meeting the ‘nisab’ wealth criteria in a lunar year, to pay 2.5 per cent of their wealth in alms to the deserving and needy.
Zakat Al Fitr: a donation to charity given during Ramadan, before Eid Al Fitr, in the form of food. Every adult Muslim who possesses food in excess of the needs of themselves and their family must pay two qadahs (an old measure just over 2 kilograms) of flour, wheat, barley or rice from each person in a household, as a minimum.

How being social media savvy can improve your well being
Next time when procastinating online remember that you can save thousands on paying for a personal trainer and a gym membership simply by watching YouTube videos and keeping up with the latest health tips and trends.
As social media apps are becoming more and more consumed by health experts and nutritionists who are using it to awareness and encourage patients to engage in physical activity.
Elizabeth Watson, a personal trainer from Stay Fit gym in Abu Dhabi suggests that “individuals can use social media as a means of keeping fit, there are a lot of great exercises you can do and train from experts at home just by watching videos on YouTube”.
Norlyn Torrena, a clinical nutritionist from Burjeel Hospital advises her clients to be more technologically active “most of my clients are so engaged with their phones that I advise them to download applications that offer health related services”.
Torrena said that “most people believe that dieting and keeping fit is boring”.
However, by using social media apps keeping fit means that people are “modern and are kept up to date with the latest heath tips and trends”.
“It can be a guide to a healthy lifestyle and exercise if used in the correct way, so I really encourage my clients to download health applications” said Mrs Torrena.
People can also connect with each other and exchange “tips and notes, it’s extremely healthy and fun”.

- US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs

Day 4, Abu Dhabi Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Not much was expected – on Sunday or ever – of Hasan Ali as a batsman. And yet he lit up the late overs of the Pakistan innings with a happy cameo of 29 from 25 balls. The highlight was when he launched a six right on top of the netting above the Pakistan players’ viewing area. He was out next ball.
Stat of the day – 1,358 There were 1,358 days between Haris Sohail’s previous first-class match and his Test debut for Pakistan. The lack of practice in the multi-day format did not show, though, as the left-hander made an assured half-century to guide his side through a potentially damaging collapse.
The verdict As is the fashion of Test matches in this country, the draw feels like a dead-cert, before a clatter of wickets on the fourth afternoon puts either side on red alert. With Yasir Shah finding prodigious turn now, Pakistan will be confident of bowling Sri Lanka out. Whether they have enough time to do so and chase the runs required remains to be seen.
