A video director sued Justin Timberlake, accusing him of refusing to promote, market and sell a video documentary the pair made based on the making of the singer's blockbuster 'The 20/20 Experience'' album.
Urbano -- who directed successful music videos for One Direction and Keith Urban --"agreed, foregoing his customary director's fee to instead be partners with Mr. Timberlake in this joint venture,'' the suit states.
After three months of filming in New York, Paris, Los Angeles and elsewhere, thousands of hours of editing, and numerous cuts,"Urbano created the 'Making of the 20/20 Experience,' a documentary that moved Mr. Timberlake to tears'' when he first saw it, according to the suit. But in 2013, as album sales for"The 20/20 Experience'' skyrocketed -- sales that Timberlake promoted with clips of the documentary -- the singer's"interest in the documentary itself faded,'' Urbano alleges.
Jessica Biel is giving fans a rare glimpse into her life as a mom. During a recent appearance on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show," the actress opened up about the adorable relationship her sons Phineas and Silas, whom she shares with hubby Justin Timberlake, have with one another. "Silas, he is the performer. He wants to make the jokes. He wants all the attention on him. So Phin only has eyes for him and everything Silas does is hilarious.
"Instead of fulfilling his obligations to the joint venture, Mr. Timberlake has failed to take any steps to promote, market, and sell the 'Making of the 20/20 Experience.' Mr. Timberlake has increasingly distanced himself from the project and his partner -- often using a network of agents, managers, and handlers to interface with Mr. Urbano,'' the lawsuit alleges.Attempts to reach a representative for Timberlake were not immediately successful.
