On whether she modelled the character after any real life diva:
"Well, you know what, I wish I could say I did, because it's such a diverse character but somehow I took that character like right out of me and I don't know where it came from but, it just came out very smoothly. Something in me just cried out, play a pop diva, play a virgin pop star. " (Source)

Often described in reviews as a "Britney Spears like pop singer", Justine Chapin is a virginal pop singer who first appears in the episode "The Review". Vincent Chase is immediately interested in her from the moment he sees her outside of Ari's office, though his friends tell him he stands no chance with her. The two are introduced and connect at a party thrown for Justine by a mutual friend. Justine reappears in "Date Night" when she hears Vince appearing on a radio show. He makes a comment about how he has no date for the night and Justine calls into the radio station offering to be his date. Vince is celebrating the release of his new movie, so he, Justine, and his friends go on a group date to a local bowling alley. By the night's end, Justine tells Vince she thinks she wants to lose her virginity to him, but that he'll "have to work for it". Not neccessarily looking for any commitment, nothing comes of this, though they part on good terms.
