Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake was treated to a 27th birthday surprise on Thursday (January 31) when Madonna presented him with a cupcake and champagne on the set of her new video, according to MTV News. The clip, for "4 Minutes to Save the World," is currently being shot in London and will feature JT as well as Timbaland. The track will appear on Madonna's next album, due this year. Meanwhile, JT also will be featured in a Pepsi commercial during the Super Bowl on Sunday. The clip is called "Magnetic Attraction." "This is a sort of crazy, ridiculous, awesome ride, full of stunts and painful activity," Timberlake said in the press video. "I'm running into buildings, flying up buildings, going through the Hudson River, almost running into cars, taking car doors out, everything you can think of. It's kind of fun but also scary at the same time."
