Justin Timberlake has apparently asked longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel to marry him. After an on-again, off-again relationship spanning four years, the celebrity couple were engaged in late December, according to Us Weekly

Timberlake popped the question while the couple were vacationing in Jackson, Wyoming, an insider tells the magazine. "Justin knows how much she loves snowboarding and the mountains, so it was the perfect place," the source said.  

"He knew it was the right time to propose," another source told Us Weekly.

Timberlake, who starred most recently in Bad Teacher with Cameron Diaz and Friends With Benefits with Mila Kunis, is set to play the lead in Spinning Gold, a biopic of Neil Bogart, the late founder of Casablanca Records. Biel appeared most recently in New Year's Eve and The A-Team.

“Piano Man”

Billy Joel | 1973

Billy Joel’s first hit, “Piano Man,” was – ironically – an autobiographical lament about how his first album wasn’t a hit. When Cold Spring Harbor didn’t take off, Joel briefly became a lounge pianist in Los Angeles, and this song, about that experience, expressed his frustrations and fears at the time: “And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar/And say, ‘Man, what are you doing here?’” “It was all right,” Joel said later, about the gig. “I got free drinks and union scale, which was the first steady money I’d made in a long time.”
