Justin Timberlake is scheduled to enter a new plea in his drink-driving case in New York’s Hamptons, US prosecutors said.

Details of the plea deal were not disclosed but a source told AP that Timberlake has agreed to plead guilty to a less serious offence than the original charge of driving while intoxicated.
