Read our privacy policy The cop who arrested Justin Timberlake for DWI in the Hamptons was so young that he didn’t recognize the superstar, according to a report. The New York Post reported that the unnamed arresting officer “was so young that he didn’t even know” who Timberlake was. It was critically panned, with a two-star review in The Independent calling it “about as sexy as a soiled mattress.” Timberlake’s former status as a global pop icon has waned in recent years, most notably after the release of Britney Spears’s memoir, The Woman in Me, which divulged a number of details about their relationship and subsequent split. After the release of Timberlake’s single “Selfish” in March, fans of Spears began streaming her 2011 song with the same title in response, resulting in it topping Timberlake’s sales during its first full week.
