Not limited to Timberlake's solo career, some designs cleverly integrate references to his relationship history, such as one t-shirt blending Britney Spears' lyrics from 'criminal' with the mug shot image.

Timberlake was pulled over in Sag Harbor, NY, following reports of erratic driving. Initially claiming to have consumed one martini, he allegedly failed a field sobriety test and refused a breathalyzer. Subsequently, he spent the night in jail, pleading not guilty to the charges and released without bail the following morning. His legal team is prepared to contest the allegations, with a court date set for July 26.
