Hasty Pudding to Honor Justin Timberlake

Barbara | January 28, 2010

justintimberlakeLooks like Harvard University is bringing sexy back.

Pop icon Justin Timberlake has been chosen as the 2010 Man of the Year by the Hasty Pudding Theatricals at Harvard. His parade and awards presentation will be on February 5, while Anne Hathaway, the 2010 Woman of the Year, is enjoying her honors in Cambridge today.

“The Pudding” usually opts to bestow the MOY or WOY title on stage and screen stars, not music stars like JT, but then again, the NSYNC alum has known to tear it up in such movies as Alpha Dog and The Love Guru. If you’re a “Saturday Night Live” fan, then you’ve also enjoyed JT’s stints as Andy Samberg’s sidekick in some hilarious digital video shorts, as well as his turn as a leotard-clad backup dancer in Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” skit.

This is not Timberlake’s only connection to Massachusetts. His girlfriend, actress Jessica Biel, attended classes a while back at Tufts University in Medford, just a town over from Cambridge. When I lived in Boston, I actually saw Biel on the Red Line once, with a pair of pink toe shoes tucked under her arm. I don’t think she recognized me, though.

Who says you need to be in New York or LA for a dose of star power? Today and next Friday, Mass Ave. in Cambridge is the place to be.
