Justin Timberlake Has No Rehab Plans, Focusing on Tour

Justin Timberlake He’s not as worried about his DWI case as some fans are, because he’s not following the typical celeb playbook after an arrest like this … TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Justin has no plans to check into a rehab center following his arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, on Tuesday morning. It’s not uncommon for people in Hollywood to take proactive steps to look good in front of a judge after a drug or alcohol-related arrest.

Voluntarily seeking treatment in rehab or alcohol education classes might put him in a better plea agreement position, but Justin has a different plan, and probably… for good reason.

As we’ve mentioned, Justin has no prior arrest record, and as for alcohol – our sources say he has no history of drinking irresponsibly, despite recent reports indicating the contrary. People who have spent many years with the singer tell us they never knew he had a problem, and he’s usually in control when out in public.

This is very different from a situation such as, Lindsey lohanIn 2007. The former child star was admitted to Promises Treatment Center in Malibu after being arrested for drunk driving in Bev Hills. The judge forced her to wear an alcohol monitoring bracelet, but she avoided jail time.

Another factor in Justin’s plans is that he’s in the middle of a world tour, whose next stop is Friday at Chicago’s United Center … and, as we told you, he Coming to the stageThe tour will run until the end of the year – through Europe and back to the US – with only a few short breaks.

All of this is pushing Justin forward professionally, and we’re told he’s leaving the DWI case to his attorney Edward Burke Jr. …who has already said that he Plans to fight arrest,

That’s what all good defense attorneys say, but the reality is that Justin and prosecutors will almost certainly reach a deal … and Burke made it clear he’s eager to see the police body cam footage of the arrest.

When police stopped Justin — for allegedly disobeying a stop sign and swerving — the singer claimed he had only had one martini during dinner with friends.

The arresting officer claimed he smelled alcohol on his breath, and they say he did poorly on field sobriety tests — but, because J.T. refused to take a breathalyzer — the body cam will be crucial in determining what kind of not-guilty agreement he gets.

By the way, his next court date is set for July 26, which coincides with his scheduled concert in Krakow, Poland – so, don’t be surprised if the hearing gets rescheduled, or the matter is completely resolved by then.
