Justin Timberlake apologizes to Jessica Biel for 'strong lapse' in judgment

Justin Timberlake is publicly apologizing to his wife, actress Jessica Biel, following a "strong lapse" in judgment during a recent night out in New Orleans.

The 38-year-old singer and actor issued an apology Wednesday on Instagram after he was spotted holding hands with his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright in November.

"I stay away from gossip as much as I can, but for my family I feel it is important to address recent rumors that are hurting the people I love," Timberlake wrote.

"A few weeks ago I displayed a strong lapse in judgement - but let me be clear - nothing happened between me and my costar. I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior. This is not the example I want to set for my son."

Timberlake and Biel married in October 2012 and have a 4-year-old son, Silas Randall.

"I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that," Timberlake said.

"I am incredibly proud to be working on Palmer," he added. "Looking forward to continuing to make this movie and excited for people to see it."

The Sun published photos and videos Nov. 23 of Timberlake, Wainwright and a group of friends at a bar in New Orleans. Timberlake appears to hold Wainwright's hand as the actress rests her hand on his knee.

Sources told People in November that Timberlake and Wainwright's interaction with "completely innocent."

"It was nothing. They're starring in the movie together and they're cool," an insider said.

Timberlake and Wainwright play Eddie Palmer and Maggie Hayes in Palmer. The movie is directed by Fisher Stevens and co-stars Ryder Allen.

Pat Sajak is back on the Wheel of Fortune set following a health scare.

The 73-year-old game show host returned to filming Thursday after undergoing emergency surgery for a blocked intestine.

Producers shared a photo on Twitter of Sajak at his post, saying the cast and crew, including hostess Vanna White, were happy to welcome Sajak back.

"Pat is back! We are so happy to have him return to his spot at the Wheel today! (Vanna may be happiest of all) #WheelOfFortune," the caption reads.

Sajak confirmed the news in a post on his own account.

"Even though the shows I missed haven't started airing (they begin next week), I'm happy to say that I'm back in the studio taping today. It's been four weeks since my 'episode,' but it feels longer. Nice to be back," he wrote.

Beginning Monday, White will host three weeks of Wheel of Fortune that were filmed during Sajak's recovery.

"Those three weeks without him was very hard. I really missed him," White told ABC News. "I just can't imagine doing this show without him, you know? And I hope he feels the same with me."

Sajak had surgery in early November. He gave an update on his health in a tweet Nov. 12.

"I'm happy to say that my surgery was a total success with absolutely no after effects expected. But the best news is that when I came out of the operating room, I was 63 years old! #10MoreYearsOfWheel," Sajak wrote.
