Hey, Justin Timberlake fans: You can now celebrate your favorite triple threat's return to the big screen via the new sci-fi thriller "In Time." The film is set in the not-so-distant future in a society that lives and dies according to how much time you have and can acquire. In this world, time is literally money, and when your time runs out, you die.

In the spirit of making the most of time, although in not quite as serious a manner as is portrayed in the film, when MTV News caught up with the cast of "In Time," we asked a series of rapid-fire questions pegged to getting the most out of everyday scenarios: "How do you make the most of your time, when ... "

1. On a plane?
"Oh, I like to read or do crossword puzzles," said Vincent Kartheiser, whom "Mad Men" fans will recognize as bad guy Pete Campbell.

"I sleep, normally," Amanda Seyfried said, "but [I like to listen to] audio books or knit."

2. On hold with customer service?
"When the [customer service rep] comes back, I like to completely change voices," Timberlake revealed, changing his voice into a deep, serious baritone. " 'Hey, I'd like to speak to your supervisor,' and then [changing his voice into a high-pitched, younger voice], 'Hey, man, listen, I had a problem,' " he play-acted for us.

"I put [the phone] on speaker and get some work done," Matt Bomer said.

3. God forbid, when the Internet goes down?
"You should read a book," Bomer advised of this worst-case scenario. "Maybe the newspaper, get caught up on current events."

Seyfried told us she's trying to cut down her Internet use. "It gets to be time consuming, so when the Internet goes down, you just have to read the newspaper," she said.

4. When waiting at the DMV?
"Power through," Bomer advised of the always-long lines at the Department of Motor Vehicles. "Whatever you can get done. Sudoku, Maybe?"

"There's always one person who's like, 'I hate this place! I'm never coming back!' " Kartheiser said.

"Google whatever the state legal limit is for blood alcohol concentration, because that's usually why I'm there," Timberlake added with a laugh.

Justin Bieber Enlists Kanye West, Drake For Next Album

Justin Bieber may be less than a week away from the release of his holiday album, Under the Mistletoe, but he's already thinking about his next project.

We know it will be heavily influenced by another Justin — Mr. Timberlake — and now we're learning a bit more about it.

In an interview with Capital FM, Bieber said he's getting some high-profile folks to work on tracks for the album.

"Very soon [it'll be released], after my Christmas album," JB revealed. "It's going to be coming out. It is called Believe. I'm working with a lot of cool people. I'm working with Kanye [West]. Drake is going to work on the album with me."

It's hardly the first time Bieber has been in the mix with Drake and Kanye. Bieber recently put his spin on Drake's "Trust Issues," and while Drake wishes JB had left the track uncensored, he had high praise for his fellow Canadian. "He's like a talented kid ... from Canada, so to hear him even remix that song is crazy," he said. "That's incredible."

Plus, let's not forget that Kanye remixed Bieber's track, "Runaway Love," just last year. "He's such a cool guy, and he's just really laid-back and just nice, and at the end of the day, he's just a nice person," Bieber said at the time about the MC.

Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, chatted with Billboard about the upcoming album, which he said will include tracks mostly written by Bieber himself. "He's pretty adamant about writing a lot of [the album]," Braun said. "And he played me some stuff that he's been doing on his own. He wrote this amazing song that sounds like a Jodeci record. I'm really excited for him. This kid can sing his ass off. He's coming into his own."

When we spoke with Bieber earlier this year, he said he really wanted to be the main producer on the record. "[I'm] writing about how I feel and producing. I've been producing on my laptop and on my computer," he said. "I've been really into it and, hopefully, this next album will be huge."

Michael Jackson Top-Earning Dead Celebrity

Forbes magazine predicts Cirque du Soleil tribute show 'Immortal' will put King of Pop in the lead again next year.

For the second year in a row, Michael Jackson has topped Forbes magazine's list of top-earning dead celebrities. The King of Pop, who died unexpectedly at age 50 in June 2009, earned an estimated $170 million over the past year, making him the second-highest-earning pop star this year (behind U2) — dead or alive.

The megabucks came in from sales of his music, as well as his stake in the lucrative Sony/ATV catalog, and while impressive, was a big step down from the $275 million the Jackson estate earned in the year after the singer's death. Songwriters who own their work tend to place high on the Forbes list because their catalog sales often remain strong after their death, one of the reasons Jackson's posthumous career has been so lucrative.

The magazine speculated that Jackson is likely to top the list again next year thanks to the recent launch of the Cirque du Soleil tribute show "Immortal," which, if successful, could net more touring income for the singer in death than he earned in life.

In a distant second was the perennial chart-topper in the Forbes tally, Elvis, whose catalog and merchandise sales (not to mention his pricey Cirque show, "Viva Elvis") helped bring in $55 million from October 2010 to October 2011. Two late Beatles, John Lennon and George Harrison, placed fifth and 13th on the list, respectively, at $12 million and $6 million, also thanks in part to catalog sales and the proceeds from a Las Vegas Cirque show, "Love."

Fifty years after her death, blonde starlet Marilyn Monroe was #3 with $27 million, followed by "Peanuts" cartoonist Charles Schulz. Actress Elizabeth Taylor tied at #5 with Lennon at $12 million, mostly due to the perennially strong sales of her perfumes, just ahead of renowned genius Albert Einstein ($10 million) and Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel ($9 million).

Tied at #9 are guitar god Jimi Hendrix, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" author Stieg Larsson, actor Steve McQueen and songwriter Richard Rodgers ($7 million). Harrison was at #13, tied with pin-up icon Bettie Page and pop-art legend Andy Warhol ($6 million).
