Justin Timberlake sent fans into a frenzy on Wednesday night when he performed an impromptu show at his New York restaurant in front of celebrity fans Emma Roberts, Amanda Seyfried and Kim Kardashian.

The hitmaker took to Twitter that afternoon to announce plans to perform with his new hip-hop/rock group FreeSol at Southern Hospitality in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan, giving devotees just a few hours' notice.

They turned out in force for the mini-gig and quickly packed out the barbecue eatery, prompting police to step in to help control the large crowds forming on the streets outside the venue after it had reached capacity.

The anticipation of Timberlake's first musical performance in months drew the attention of actresses Roberts and Seyfried, while Kardashian was also in attendance, joined by her new husband, basketball star Kris Humphries, her older sister Kourtney and her partner Scott Disick.
