Pop star Justin Timberlake showed off his charitable side last Thursday when he made two separate donations in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.

The 27-year-old singer and actor, who grew up in the Memphis suburb of Millington, shared his fortune with the town by giving two separate donations of $100,000 to the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum and the Memphis Music Foundation.

"Music education and keeping the legacy of Memphis Music alive has always been important to me," Timberlake, who is in Memphis filming the indie flick, "The Open Road," was quoted by People.com as saying. "That is why I will always continue to support my home town the same way they have always supported me."

The money will be used to help improve music education for local students and further achieve its mission of "telling the story of Memphis Music and perpetuating its legacy."

"Justin Timberlake has never deserted Memphis, Tennessee," Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Executive Director John Doyle told People. "He has never stopped giving back to the community, to the local music industry, and to young people."

As previously reported, Timberlake, who recently collaborated with Madonna on her latest album "Hard Candy," unveiled plans to become a TV producer with his involvement in the TV show "My Problem With Women," which is an adaptation of a successful Peruvian show.
