Mickey Mouse Club
Yes, the MMC. This Disney show not only helped launch Justin Timberlake's career, but it also introduced him to future group member J.C. Chavez and future honey Britney Spears. Justin appeared on the MMC between 1992-1993.
*NSYNC
After the MMC ended, Justin went on to become a member of what soon became *NSYNC.
*NSYNC has gone on to become one of the biggest musical acts of all time, winning countless awards and breaking numerous chart records.
Graduation
Although Justin didn't attend regular high school, he snagged a diploma with the help of tutors. On May 12, 2000, he was presented with his diploma at an *NSYNC concert in Memphis, Tennessee. Talk about graduating in style!
Justin Timberlake Foundation
In May of 2000, Justin announced that he would establish a charity organization that would help fund music programs in schools. Justin's philosophy is kids should learn about all kinds of music in school, not just classical. Proceeds from *NSYNC's Challenge for the Children celebrity basketball game last summer were donated to the JTF.
Britney Spears
Can you imagine dating someone you knew when you were eleven? Justin can. Although it's been rumored for a long time, Justin and Britney Spears finally started going public with their romance in 2000. They made the rounds at parties and awards shows, and even had to squash engagement rumors last July when a British tab said they were altar-bound. The ultimate sign of their coupledom: arriving at the 2001 American Music Awards in matching denim.
