- ■ by ROBIN COTTLE robin.cottle@dailystar.co.uk

JUSTIN Timberlake has apologised to wife Jessica Biel after he was pictured holding hands with co-star Alisha Wainwright.

The actor and singer has said “nothing happened”.

Timberlake, 38, tweeted: “A few weeks ago I displayed a strong lapse in judgment, but let me be clear nothing happened.

“I drank way too much that night and I regret my behaviour. I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son. I apologise to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassi­ng situation.”

Justin and Alisha were spotted drinking on a balcony in New Orleans.

The pair are in the US city filming the movie Palmer, in which they play lovers.

Timberlake and Biel, 37, have been married seven years and have four-yearold son Silas.

There are over 60 different species of eagle including the most common, the golden eagle, which can reach speeds of 200mph and lord it over a territory of 70 square miles. So-called because of the gold plumage on their head and neck, the only wild golden eagles in the UK are in Scotland, with about 440 breeding pairs. Britain is also home to the larger white-tailed eagle, which has an 8ft wingspan. Other breeds around the world include the harpy eagle which has fiveinch talons, longer than a grizzly bear’s claws.

The grip of an eagle’s talons can be up to 10 times stronger than that of a human. They hunt by swooping down on prey. Their diet includes mammals such as rabbits, but the largest birds are able to hunt animals as big as deer. Eagles’ eyesight is eight times better than humans’ and their eyes take up nearly half their heads. They can see prey over two miles away and turn their heads 210 degrees thanks to extra vertebrae.

A baby eagle is called an eaglet. The females are usually larger than the males. Eagles mate for life and live up to 70 years old.

The bald eagle is the national bird of the USA, but they’re not actually bald – the name comes from piebald, referring to their white heads. Eagles build their nests called eyries in tall trees or cliffs. Bald eagles have the largest, weighing over a tonne.

BEWARE the fearsome feathered critters! We revealed yesterday how an eagle attacked a dog called Tiny in Essex – with the poor pooch only saved when owner Marika Smith fought off the beast. ★

Dubbed the “king of the birds”, the eagle is often seen as a symbol of courage and freedom – but it has been known to occasional­ly attack humans.

Here eagle-eyed JAMES MOORE has plucked out 15 fascinatin­g facts about them… although eagle attacks on humans in the wild are rare, there is evidence that they have killed children and flown off with babies. The huge, but now extinct, Haast’s eagle from New Zealand was known to hunt humans. In football both Crystal Palace FC and Bedford Town are nicknamed the Eagles, while Nigeria’s national side is nicknamed the Super Eagles. Eagles have also given their name to the US rock band, Abba’s longest song, American football’s Philadelph­ia Eagles, a legendary kids’ comic and skier Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards.

They have been used for hunting through history and as symbols, such as the doublehead­ed Russian eagle. Eagles also appear on the flags of Albania, Ecuador, Mexico, Serbia, Moldova, Egypt, and Kazakhstan. The poet Lord Byron owned a pet eagle, but you need a licence to own one today and taking eagle eggs is forbidden.

In JRR Tolkien’s Middle Earth books eagles could talk, while the title of the World War Two movie Where Eagles Dare, starring Richard Burton, comes from a line in Shakespear­e’s play Richard III.
