Through a successful solo career, he has gone on to win six Grammy Awards, two Emmy Awards, and dozens of accolades from around the world.

 

In 2002, Timberlake released his debut album, Justified, and his second solo album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, was released in 2006, which produced four #1 singles. He is the first artist in Nielsen Top 40 history to chart four #1 hits from one album. He was the chief songwriter and producer on both albums, which have sold over 17 million copies worldwide. He has also written and produced songs for artists such as 50 Cent, the Black Eyed Peas, Esmee Denters, Leona Lewis, Madonna, Matt Morris and Reba McEntire.

 

Timberlake has also embarked on a successful career in film and television as an actor. In 2007, he received rave reviews for his performance in Universal’s crime drama “Alpha Dog.” He has also starred in “Black Snake Moan,” “Southland Tales,” “Love Guru” and “The Open Road,” and has lent his voice to the all-star cast of Dream Works’ “Shrek the Third.” A three-time host of “Saturday Night Live,” Justin Timberlake won the Emmy Award for Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series in 2009, while his sketches have become viral video sensations including the Emmy Award-winning “D**k in the Box.” Upcoming work includes the David Fincher-directed and Aaron Sorkin-penned “The Social Network,” set at Harvard University.

Continuing to emerge as one of Hollywood’s most engaging talents, Anne Hathaway shot to stardom starring opposite Meryl Streep in the hit “The Devil Wears Prada.” She went on to receive an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Independent Spirit and SAG Award nomination for “Lead Actress” for her performance in Jonathan Demme’s recent critically acclaimed “Rachel Getting Married,” for which she was also awarded Best Actress by the National Board of Review, the Chicago Film Critics Association and the Broadcast Film Critics Association. Hathaway has impressed audiences with her wide range as an actress, from her lauded dramatic performances in “Becoming Jane,” “Passengers,” and “Brokeback Mountain” with Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, to her brilliant comedic turns in such films as “Get Smart” with Steve Carell, “The Princess Diaries,” and “Ella Enchanted.” An actress with theater roots, Hathaway took to the stage this past summer in Shakespeare in the Park’s production of TWELFTH NIGHT, receiving all around rave reviews for her performance as Viola.

 

Hathaway will next star in the ensemble romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day” to be released February 2010 and as the White Queen alongside Johnny Depp in Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” hitting theaters March 2010. Hathaway has also signed on to the Judy Garland biopic “Get Happy.” Hathaway will play Judy Garland on the stage and screen; two productions both being produced by the Weinstein Company. Of Hathaway, “Valentine’s Day” and “The Princess Diaries” (and its sequel) director Garry Marshall says, “The multi-talented Hathaway is a combination of Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn and Judy Garland.”
