‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ actor Oscar Isaac has been recording music with Timberlake for the ’60s folk flick.

“W.E.” star Oscar Isaac is deep in musical preparations for the next Coen Brothers film, “Inside Llewyn Davis,” in which he’ll play the title character. In a couple weeks, Isaac and his castmates, including Justin Timberlake, Carey Mulligan and Garrett Hedlund, will be on set, but until then they are in the recording studio putting the finishing touches on the film’s musical elements.

“Right now I’m gearing up for the Coen Brothers film, which is all music based,” he told MTV News at the New York premiere of the Madonna-directed “W.E.” “So that’s actually taking up a lot of the musical creative energy. So excited.”

Isaac, much like his co-stars, has dabbled in music, having put off recording his own music to focus on the film. And with some assistance from some big-name musical heavyweights, the music is destined to shine. The actor said the cast is currently in the studio with Timberlake, the Punch Brothers, T-Bone Burnett and Mulligan’s fiancé, Marcus Mumford — what he called an “amazing group of musicians.”

“It’s folk from the ’60s — old songs passed down for many generations — but new takes on them,” he said of the songs being used in the film, which follows the life of a New York City folk singer in the 1960s. “Obviously we have the hindsight of now and so we kind of revisit these old songs. They’re hopeful and beautiful and in contrast [to] the life of a folk singer, which is not very beautiful at all. It’s very drab and dire. It’s a screwball comedy.”

As for Timberlake, the pop star best known for his bouncing beats can sing folk too. “He’s perfect, really pure,” Isaac said.

How do you think Justin Timberlake will do with folk music? Sound off in the comments.

As the week comes to an end every source is saying they are, but Neither Justin or Jess have said a word publically. below is the article people magazine ran. if they are engaged, I wish them nothing but the best!!! <3

Jessica Biel may have said only last year, “I was never one of those girls who dreamt of my wedding and my Prince Charming,” but it looks like she’s about to have both.

Biel and Justin Timberlake are engaged to be married, a source tells PEOPLE.

The big moment happened while the on-again couple were in Big Sky Country, on their annual vacation to Montana, according to the source, who reveals Justin proposed with a “custom-designed” ring.

Timberlake, who turns 31 later this month, and Biel, 29, celebrated the happy news with friends.

Only a few weeks ago, unconfirmed reports said the longtime romantic couple were altar-bound, but the rumors proved premature.

Last year, the couple spent time apart for several months after being together for four years, since May. They made their split official in March 2011.

Still, over that summer, Timberlake told Vanity Fair about Biel, saying, “She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life. In my 30 years, she is the most special person, okay? … I don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me – for instance, her.”

By the following September, the two were back on and publicly affectionatetogether again.

When they were spotted having brunch last fall in a Colorado mountaintop bar, an onlooker told PEOPLE, “There was plenty of P.D.A., and they seemed happy.” Other sightings soon followed in Las Vegas, in New Yorkand in Hollywood.

The rocket man says Timberlake is his ‘number one’ choice to portray him.

Elton John has revealed that he wants Justin Timberlake to play him in a biopic of his life.

In an interview with the LA Times, the singer confirmed that his Rocketman project with Billy Elliot author Lee Hall was still “very much in the works”, and said that Timberlake was his “number one” choice to portray him on the big screen.

“We’re making an announcement about that very, very soon,” said John when asked about the film. “We have a director on board, and then it’s just going to be a matter of getting the script exactly the way we want it. Lee Hall has written a script – he wrote Billy Elliot – and then we’ll start trying to cast and plan.”

When asked who would be playing him, meanwhile, he replied:

I don’t know. I’ve got a wish list of people. No. 1 on my wish list is Justin Timberlake, because he played me before in a David LaChapelle video of ‘Rocket Man’ and was superb.

It was announced in September that Elton John would serve as the executive producer on Rocketman. The film is expected to use musical sequences, centred on the singer’s hits, to tell the story of a child prodigy who became a global star, and is the second collaboration between the singer and Hall after they worked together on the musical adaptation of Billy Elliot.

In November, meanwhile, Justin Timberlake insisted that he was not ignoring his music career in favour of his acting projects. He has been linked with a role in a new movie from the Coen Brothers, Inside Llewyn Davis, which is set across the backdrop of the 1960s folk music scene in New York.

CARLSBAD, Calif., December 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced the establishment of an advanced, creative position for multiple Emmy and Grammy Award-winning actor, musician and avid golfer Justin Timberlake. A Callaway Staff Professional since 2008, Timberlake will lend his versatile talents as a Creative Director for the Callaway portfolio of Brands. Timberlake will engage in the development and execution of high-level concepts within Callaway’s marketing activities and offer wide-ranging consultation on the visual representation of the Brand. The multi-year agreement was announced by Jeff Colton, Sr. Vice President of Global Brand and Product, Callaway Golf.

“We have worked with Justin for more than three years now and have been thoroughly impressed with the level of quality he brings to everything he is involved with,” said Colton. “Justin is an extremely gifted artist and an avid golfer with a deep passion for Callaway products, and his creative energy will serve us well as we connect with the next generation of golfers. The opportunity to bring someone with his multifaceted talents into our creative matrix is very rare, and his input has already made an impact.”

Timberlake’s initial work as a Creative Director for Callaway will support the Company’s 2012 RAZR line of premium golf equipment, including the recently introduced RAZR Fit™ Driver. Callaway’s 2012 product line will be launched in the first quarter of next year via the Company’s upcoming “Epic Demo” campaign being shot this week in Las Vegas across several iconic city landmarks, including the Bellagio Fountain. Timberlake’s contributions to Callaway’s Epic Demo campaign, which features Callaway staff professionals Phil Mickelson and Alvaro Quiros, includes collaboration with the creative teams and Director Joseph Kahn.

“It’s always great when professional projects surround subjects that I am passionate about, and the sport of golf and my work with Callaway definitely fit that criteria,” said Timberlake. “I’m looking forward to bringing a fresh perspective to this category — focusing on the social aspects, fun and lifestyle associated with Callaway and playing golf.”

In 2008, Timberlake became the first non-tour player to join Callaway’s team of Staff Professionals that includes Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Alvaro Quiros and icons such as Arnold Palmer. Earlier this year, he participated in a Father’s Day-inspired social media contest that awarded equipment via Callaway’s Facebook page.

A passionate golfer, Timberlake’s rising status in the sport also includes annual hosting duties at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open PGA Tour event in Las Vegas, NV. and participation in the major Pro Am tournaments. Along with his parents, Timberlake owns and operates Mirimichi, a world-class championship golf course and learning facility located near his hometown of Memphis, Tenn.

Ready for another trip to the classroom of hip-hop?

Jimmy Fallon told Access Hollywood that he and rapping pal Justin Timberlake are working on yet another “History of Rap” segment for “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.”

We’re working on another ‘History of Rap,’” Jimmy told Access at GQ’s 2011 Men of the Year Party in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

“We’re going to try and top [the others with] the next thing,” he continued.

But what about possible a rap album with Jimmy and the star?

“Justin doesn’t return my phone calls about that,” Jimmy said with a laugh. “He’ll call about anything else.”

All jokes aside, Jimmy told Access he was honored to appear on the cover of GQ with his friend and collaborator.

“Justin’s one of the most talented people in the world,” Jimmy said. “He always makes me smile. He just comes on show and takes over. I love that guy so much… It was an honor to be on the cover with that guy.”

Events > 2011 > At The Marine Corps Ball in VA 11/12/11

The members of the United States Armed Forces face scary situations in real life every day, so asking celebrities to help them attend their military balls … well, that turned out to be a piece of cake.

That’s what Cpl. Kelsey De Santis learned when she made a videotape of herself asking Justin Timberlake to Saturday night’s Marine Corps Ball in Richmond, Va. He accepted, and in the process propelled her from the dance floor into a whirlwind of media publicity. Dressed in uniform and standing before a Marines helicopter Tuesday, De Santis told TODAY’s Ann Curry that “it was a really good experience” to have Timberlake accompanying her. “He had a really big smile on his face, and so did I.”

Timberlake has since posted a heartfelt, enthusiastic account of the event on his blog where he called his night at the Ball “one of the most moving evenings I’ve ever had.”

De Santis agreed with him: “If you haven’t been, it’s something that’s hard to put in words. But I was most honored that he said the things that he did in his blog.”

And, she added, having Timberlake on hand meant they both could hit the dance floor … Marine style. “The whole night was extremely … bringing sexy back, I guess you could say,” she said, quoting the name of a Timberlake hit and offering up a grin. “We were on the dance floor and had a good time at the table joking and laughing, so it was altogether really great.”

As for advice for fellow Marine, Sgt. Scott Moore, who has asked Mila Kunis to his own Marine Corps Ball this Friday, De Santis said he didn’t need it. “He seems very confident. And I’m confident that he’ll have a great time, just like I did!”

Corporal Kelsey De Santis and Justin Timberlake are headed to the Marine Corps Ball on Saturday in Washington D.C., and the star better have his dance moves ready!

“My friends keep saying, ‘Dance-off!’ They know about my skills,” Cpl. De Santis told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover and Friday’s Access Hollywood Live.

According to Kelsey, Justin – who is no slouch on the dance floor – might be in for a bit of a surprise when it comes to her talents.

“I honestly don’t think he’ll be able to keep up with my group of people… I don’t think he’ll be able to keep up with us,” she said, explaining that she has “multiple signature moves,” including “The Dougie.”

And if the night goes well with JT beside her, Kelsey said she’s open to a kiss from the superstar.

“Of course, I’m single! I don’t know [if a kiss will happen.] I guess that’s all up to JT and what his plans are,” she explained.

Adding with a laugh, “I would never force anything upon him or anything like that!”

The Marine, who is stationed at the Marine Corps base at Quantico, invited Justin to the Marine Corps Ball back in July on YouTube, saying, “And if you can’t go, all I can say is, ‘Cry me a river!’”

Kelsey asked the star to be her date after Sergeant Scott Moore posted a clip on YouTube asking Justin’s “Friends with Benefits” co-star, Mila Kunis to attend the event.
