Justin Timberlake will attempt to bring MySpace Back??

MySpace had been sold for $35 million to an advertising network called Specific Media. Now, the company says singer Justin Timberlake will take an ownership stake in MySpace and play a role in its future. Timberlake and Specific Media plan on focusing the site on entertainment, aiming to make it the place to go for original shows, videos and music.

Did his role in The Social Network influence this new venture?

Timberlake said in a statement.

There’s a need for a place where fans can go to interact with their favorite entertainers, listen to music, watch videos, share and discover cool stuff and just connect. MySpace has the potential to be that place, Art is inspired by people and vice versa, so there’s a natural social component to entertainment.”

Timberlake song"SexyBack" 

became his first number-one single
