Justin Timberlake opens a bar

Well, here’s something weird. Two weeks ago, Justin Timberlake was arrested in the Hamptons for drunk driving. The story went viral, and many of the trivial details associated with it—the criminal’s photo, his walk, his hilarious interactions with the arresting officer—were turned into memes. It was probably the most attention Timberlake has gotten in years, despite the fact that he released a new album earlier this year. Now, Timberlake is reportedly working with Tiger Woods—another person who might not want to be associated so closely with alcohol in the public imagination—to open a bar.

BBC Report Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods have been granted permission to begin planning the conversion of an old cinema in St Andrews, Scotland, into a “luxury bar.” Timberlake and Woods are shareholders in Nexus Luxury Collection, a real estate company that is transforming the new cinema into an establishment that will include “sports simulators, bowling, darts, and two cinema screens.”

Tiger Woods says he and Justin Timberlake came up with the idea to open a bar while playing golf together at a development in the Bahamas they own together. Tiger Woods has played golf at St. Andrews many times, and Timberlake has played there, too. The current owners claim the movie theater, which opened in 1930, is no longer financially viable. These plans were supposedly in the works before Timberlake’s arrest, but it’s a little surprising that they’re still going ahead.

A few days after his arrest, his world tour took him to Chicago, where he vaguely referred to his troubles, saying it had been a “tough week,” adding, “I know I’m hard to love sometimes.” painting Reports Timberlake joked about the arrest while performing in Boston last week: “So, is anyone here tonight driving?” Rapper CupcakKe also recently invited Timberlake to listen to her new song, “DUI.”
