That's doctor Justin Timberlake to you now. The 38-year-old singer celebrated a major accomplishment this weekend with wife Jessica Biel by his side. Justin, along with fellow musicians Missy Elliott and Alex Lacamoire, received an honourary doctorate from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. On Friday, he and Jessica shared some sweet PDA and watched graduating students perform a few of his greatest hits. The following afternoon, he accepted his degree during Berklee's commencement ceremony.

"You're defined by what you define failure as. It's not a thing if it leads you to your success. It's all part of the journey," Justin said as he addressed the crowd. He finished his speech with a challenge for the students. "I hope that in the years to come, two things will happen: One, I will represent you in the way that you most hope for. And two, I look around and see this graduating class. Meet me at the studio. I want to see y'all!"
