Justin Timberlake's Tasteless Wedding Video

At one time or another, we've all had to apologize for our embarrassing friends. For Justin Timberlake, that moment came after his October wedding to Jessica Biel, when a friend's "congratulations" video -- featuring a cast of homeless people from the streets of L.A. -- was leaked online. The singer immediately penned an open letter condemning the exploitive video, calling it a "lapse of judgment" on the part of his friends. "I want to say that, on behalf of my friends, family, and associative knuckleheads, I am deeply sorry to anyone who was offended by the video," the pop star wrote.
