Justin Timberlake’s solo career has been a decades-long quest to transcend his boy-band beginnings in N*SYNC. On Wednesday night in L.A., he returned to them. During a small, free underplay at the Wiltern to promote his new solo album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” Timberlake fully embraced Y2K nostalgia and brought out the entirety of his old band — Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick — to perform several of their hits, starting with “Gone” and running through “It’s Gonna Be Me,” “Girlfriend” and “Bye Bye Bye.” Timberlake, 43, hadn’t performed with the full group since a 2013 VMAs appearance. In 2019, N*SYNC, minus Timberlake, joined Ariana Grande onstage at Coachella. Timberlake welcomed the vintage goodwill, posting a photo of five empty stools onstage at the Wiltern after the show. His new solo single “Paradise” is more or less an N*SYNC reunion track, featuring all his former bandmates, and the quintet performed it Wednesday night. (They reunited in studio last year for the single “Better Place” for the animated movie “Trolls: Band Together”). Timberlake hasn’t released a new album since 2018’s rootsy

MoneyWatch By Anne Marie Lee Edited By Alain Sherter March 14, 2024 / 2:13 PM EDT / CBS News Three lactose-intolerant women are steamed over a surcharge for nondairy milk substitutions in Starbucks beverages. California residents Maria Bollinger, Dawn Miller and Shunda Smith filed a lawsuit earlier this month in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, alleging the coffee giant discriminated against customers lactose allergies by charging them an extra fee for nondairy alternatives to its coffee-based drinks and other beverages.  “Starbucks charges customers with lactose intolerance and milk allergies an excessively high Surcharge to substitute Non-Dairy Alternatives in its drinks,” according to the complaint, which seeks restitution as well as monetary damages.

Wearing the pack now is like torture.” In a mix of past and present, the iconic crew from the 1984 classic “Ghostbusters” has joined forces with newcomers Paul Rudd and Mckenna Grace, 40 years after it was first released. The original film featured the actors as a group of eccentric scientists who start a ghost-catching business in New York City. The movie became one of the highest-grossing films of the 1980s, but it also left a lasting impact on pop culture. Murray recalled receiving the initial “Ghostbusters” script draft, which was
