Justin Timberlake: Dressed to Thrill (1 hr) - Tuesday, February 7 at 12:00pm ET / 9:00am PT - From humble beginnings in Shelby Forest singing in his father's church choir, to his first appearance as a Star Search contestant singing country at the age of 11, Justin Timberlake was destined for a life of fame. He joined the Mickey Mouse Club alongside Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Ryan Gosling and later formed the phenomenally successful boy band 'N Sync with colleague JC Chasez. With 38 Grammy nominations and nine wins, Timberlake is currently tied with Sting as the 10th most Grammy-nominated act in history.

Bruno Mars: Just the Way I Am (1 hr) - Wednesday, February 8 at 12:00pm ET / 9:00am PT - Bruno Mars has soared to fame from struggling songwriter to international superstar.
