Justin Timberlake at BottleRock Napa Valley marks a major comeback after a tumultuous year
Justin Timberlake closed the final date of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour on a high note during his BottleRock Napa Valley debut. His triumphant headlining set on Saturday, May 24, marked the second day of the Wine Country festival and the end of a year-long global tour in support of his 2024 album 'Everything I Thought It Was.' Over the course of two hours, the Memphis-born pop star offered a dynamic blend of new and classic hits, displaying his trademark energy, impeccable choreography and smooth falsetto vocals. Backed by his band, the Tennessee Kids, and five backup dancers, Timberlake orchestrated a vibrant, high-octane show that captivated the sold-out festival crowd. Songs like 'Mirrors,' 'My Love' and 'Can't Stop the Feeling' fueled the euphoric atmosphere, while an electric brass section and agile dancers added visual flair. The show came after a particularly tumultuous period for Timberlake, including several canceled concerts earlier in the year due to health issues, as well as a DUI arrest last June. But any lingering controversy seemed to dissipate in Napa. Timberlake spoke to the crowd with equal measures of sincerity and whimsy. 'I wish you all a healthy weekend with as little tannins as possible,' he quipped, describing the bitter compounds in wine. He also cheekily wore a T-shirt bearing a vintage pin-up shot of his wife, actress Jessica Biel, that, on first glance, many in the audience assumed depicted his ex, Britney Spears, following her recent headline-grabbing exploits. While his latest album received mixed reviews, the live setting breathed new life into tracks like 'Selfish' and 'Play,' which were well-received by the crowd. Older hits such as 'Cry Me A River' and 'SexyBack' stirred a rush of nostalgia that earned cheers at every turn. Timberlake, who has evolved into a polished and versatile performer over his 30-year career, demonstrated his enduring appeal and growth as an artist. The night was a reminder of his musical and cultural influence, leaving fans excited for what comes next. 'I know I'll see you again someday,' Timberlake assured fans. He capped off an action-packed day at BottleRock, which also featured a high-energy set by up-and-coming pop sensation Benson Boone, a surprisingly solid performance by actor-turned-singer Kate Hudson, and a highly anticipated reunion performance by 4 Non Blondes, who marked their first appearance in 30 years. Their rendition of 'What's Up?' sparked one of the loudest singalongs in BottleRock history. Elsewhere, the Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage was alive with cooking demonstrations from stars like Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale and 'Modern Family' star Adam Devine, along with a parade of 'Top Chef' stars including Kristen KishBrooke Williamson and brothers Michael and Bryan Voltaggio.

Jessica Biel Struggles to Balance Work and Parenting—'I Don't Do It Very Well All the Time'
I didn't think that a regular mom like me would have much in common with actress Jessica Biel, but it turns out there is one thing I relate to about her life: We're both working moms, and when it comes balancing career and raising kids, there are no easy solutions. Biel recently spoke to InStyle about her experience as a mom with a busy work schedule—and any parent who has had to make tough choices about work commitments when they'd rather spend time with their kids will be able to relate. 'It really takes a village to raise any kid, let alone in a wild business like this where parents are traveling for long times for work,' she told the magazine. Biel spoke to the magazine from Montana, where her kids were working on their skills at ski school. She says that if she weren't working, she'd probably be skiing herself, before picking the kids up from their lessons. She went on to explain how she and her husband, pop star Justin Timberlake, structure their household. 'We try to have one of us working full time, only one,' she says, so that her two kids, 10-year-old Silas and 4-year-old Phineas, have a stable and consistent home life. But, she adds that sometimes—just like all parents—they don't live up to their own ideals, and in the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, that means sometimes taking work opportunities when they come up. Biel, though, is in a position of privilege, meaning her children can travel with her when she's filming. She reveals to the magazine that when that happens, not only does her family help out with childcare, but she's also able to bring along a travel teacher and a nanny. Next, Biel plans to bring her kids along to support Timberlake on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. When both parents can be home with the kids, Biel says her life looks just like any other parents'—struggling to get out the door for sports practice with all their gear is one challenge she points out. 'I don't do it very well all the time,' she admits. Still, Biel is trying her best, just like the rest of us. When she's home with her kids, she works hard to be fully present with them, following the advice of a colleague. That means not taking so much as a work call when she's at home and spending time with her children. That's real dedication to prioritizing your children, right there. But it feels good to know that even with all the resources she has available to her, she hasn't perfected being a working mom either. It's a learning curve, and all parents—movie stars or not—are learning together. Biel is set to star in the Mattel movie Matchbox, which will be released in 2026. The limited series The Better Sister, in which she stars alongside Elizabeth Banks, will premiere on Amazon Prime later this month. Read the original article on Parents

Jessica Biel Shared a Candid Update on Her Marriage to Justin Timberlake Months After His DWI Arrest
Back in June 2024, Justin Timberlake was arrested on DWI charges in Sag Harbor, New York. A few months later, in September, the 'Suit & Tie' singer pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of driving while ability impaired (DWAI). Now, his wife Jessica Biel is speaking out and showing where they currently stand. While rumors that Biel and Timberlake were in a rocky period circled after his case, Biel's latest interview with InStyle is proving it's all in the past. More from SheKnows Jessica Biel Reveals Why Her Latest Show Is 'Like a What Not to Do' When Parenting Teens & Tweens First off, Biel gushed about spending time with Timberlake (who she married in 2012) and their kids Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4. 'Spending time with the family unit is a huge priority right now, because I've been gone, Justin's been gone,' she told the outlet. After all, while Timberlake has been on tour for the Forget Tomorrow World Tour, Biel has been filming her upcoming projects Better Sister and Matchbox. Biel then revealed that if she weren't being interviewed that Saturday morning, she would be either be skiing or running with Timberlake, or spending some family time in the mountains Big Sky, Montana. 'These moments at this time feel kind of priceless,' she said. Later on in the interview, Biel reflected on the long-lasting friendships she's had in her life. 'I'm really lucky, because I have amazing groups of women kind of scattered throughout the country that have really been my rocks as I've grown up,' she said. 'I would also consider my husband one of my chosen sisters,' Biel added with a laugh. 'He's also my best friend.' 'All of them together have gotten me through my life,' she reflected. 'I don't know how I would have survived life without them.' So there you have it; not only are Biel and Timberlake still together, but they seem closer than ever. Of course, this only confirms the reports in the fall of 2024 that claimed Timberlake was focusing on his family, and shifting his priorities. 'Jessica and Justin are spending more time together and are happier and more relaxed,' a source told Us Weekly in December. 'Jessica is showing patience and compassion while also maintaining firm expectations of him,' the source continued, adding that they are 'prioritizing their strength as a family.'

Jessica Biel Shares Rare Comments About Parenting With Justin Timberlake
Jessica Biel shared rare comments about being a working mom and parenting her two kids with Justin Timberlake in an interview with 'InStyle' published May 19. Biel, who shares sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4, with the musician, called her husband one of her "chosen sisters." She also opened up about how she and Timberlake protect their kids from the Biel is getting candid about juggling her responsibilities as a working mom. In InStyle's Now cover interview, the 7th Heaven alum opened up about parenting her two kids with Justin Timberlake as she called the *NSYNC star one of her 'chosen sisters.' Emphasizing the importance of community when raising her sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4, Biel got real as she opened up about the 'hard' balancing act between work and motherhood. She told InStyle in the new interview published May 19, 'I don't do it very well all the time.' 'It really takes a village to raise any kid, let alone in a wild business like this where parents are traveling for long times for work,' she said, crediting her 'chosen sisters' including 'best friend' Timberlake for giving her a helping hand through the tough times. 'All of them together have gotten me through my life. I don't know how I would have survived life without them,' the star added. Biel revealed that she and Timberlake try to alternate picking up the slack when the other partner has other things going on—'We're doing the same thing every other parent is doing: 'Okay, tennis. You got the tennis? I'll get the thing,'' she explained—but they're both currently in the middle of a busy career season. 'Sometimes we do a good job; we try to have one of us working full time, only one,' Biel explained. 'It doesn't always happen, because the opportunities arise and the timing is what it is. You just have to take advantage of it.' The star opened up about filming Mattel's Matchbox at the same time as Timberlake's Forget Tomorrow World Tour as an example, explaining that the timing 'literally couldn't have been worse.' Biel revealed that she brought her kids with her to Europe and made it work, thanks to the help of her 'incredible [travel] teachers' as well as their nanny and family members. The Better Sister actress also opened up about how she and Timberlake approach raising their kids out of the spotlight, calling it 'a tricky balance.' 'We do really try hard not to expose them in a way that they're not comfortable with,' she said, sharing an example from last summer when she brought Silas to the US Open tennis tournament. Considering Biel and Timberlake's kids rarely make public appearances, the actress said she sat down with her eldest son to discuss the situation. 'My son was 9 at the time, and he's a huge tennis fan—that's his sport, that's what he plays. We had this opportunity, and we talked about it. We talked about photographers. You know, 'Are you comfortable with that?' He can't make these decisions on his own, but at this point, we can at least discuss what's his opinion around it,' she said. While she admitted that she didn't know 'if it was the right decision,' they ended up having a good time. 'It's scary every time. But it's also their life. And so it's this really tricky, tricky thing to figure out, what's appropriate,' she shared. Read the original article on InStyle
