Jessica Biel is spotted here in a photo op that may have us guessing about the status of her relationship with Justin Timberlake, as she seems to have the romance and mushy stuff covered with her armfuls of heart kidoodles. But do not let this picture fool you, as she is seen with this armload of pinky stuff as she films scenes for her most recent romantic comedy ‘Valentine’s Day’. In this scene, Jessica stumbles out of her car as she struggles to rush into an Indian restaurant with all of these Valentinesy extravaganza items, as a cheeky valet attendant slips the parking ticket inside her bra. So this scene is all about work folks, and will give us no clue on what is going on with the J and J romance. But it seems that those that know Jessica well, like Justin’s mom, are still cheerleading for this couple to pull through whatever storm they are experiencing right now. Though Justin Timberlake hasn’t “officially” (i.e. publicly) confirmed he’s set long-time girlfriend Jessica Biel out on the curb with a “Free To A Good Home” sign, theh fact remains that he’s told almost everyone. Everyone, that is, but his beloved mother, Lynn Harless. When asked what kind of woman she’d like to see her son wind up with, the Tennessee native gushed to E! News about “the one he’s with now,” and she’s not talking Rihanna:

“He’s found someone that’ll golf with him, give him a hard time when he deserves it and stand up to him,” she said.

Meanwhile, when not shooting lovey dovey Valentine’s scenes, Jessica has been moping around L.A. while Justin has been club-hopping in Vegas in advance of his Justin Timberlake & Friends Concert, which raises money for Shriner’s Hospitals for Children. According to Fox News, Ma Timberlake isn’t the only one rooting for Justin to make it work with Jessica. “Justin’s friends are usually all about anything he wants, but in this case, his boys are totally disappointed in him,” a source says. “They think he’s making a big mistake by dumping Jess.” Well that’s awfully flattering. Are they sure this source isn’t just Jessica Biel talking through a kazoo? Who knows, if you ask me she can do better than Timberlake, not that he’s anything to sneeze at, but she IS still Jessica Biel.

Yes the world has been in more than a little bit of a state of confusion ever since word leaked that Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have gone their separate ways to splitsville. And if you look at Jessica here, she is looking more than a little frumpy as she engages in some retail therapy in New York City, so this is one look that may actually confirm the fact that Jessica has given up hope on this relationship. Frumpy wear and retail therapy? Dead giveaways Jessica no matter WHAT your reps aren’t saying. At any rate, like any situation involving a celebrity, we can get much more information when we go to their closest sources, their family, and we won’t need our old friend Close Source to dish any dirt when we have grandma on standby. And you know grandmas, they don’t and won’t mince their words. And Grandma Timberlake has a LOT to say about what happened with her grandbaby boy and his “girlfriend” Jessica Biel. The pop star’s grams won’t say the couple has broken up because, as far as she was concerned, they were never serious. Ouch! That is COLD. But yes, even Grandma gets the buzz when more info is needed, and Justin’s nana got to gossin’ with the U.K.’s Closer magazine (a reliable source and your first source for news on 98ZZZ-sized breasts) and said she never considered Jessica Biel a real girlfriend. Says Grams Timberlake Sadie Bomar on the split that never was:

“Jessica wanted to marry, but Justin isn’t ready. He’s busy writing new material and he works hard to be successful–he’s really focused on that. As far as we’re concerned, he’s always been single. The girlfriends come and go, but we believe nothing has ever been serious.”

That’s gotta be news to Jessica Biel, whose been mopey on the set of The A-Team in Vancouver. A woman told eTalk’s Lainey that the actress seemed “awful” while out on the town Saturday night. Additionally, a source told Fox News she’s “sad” but encouraged, because Justin strives to stay friends with his exes, so long as they don’t, you know, shave their heads and walk around without pants on or anything. Justin, meanwhile, has been fighting women off as he party hops around L.A. Well, he’s not fighting them off very hard. Radar saw him dancing with six women at one point while partying at the upscale Crown Bar on Friday, leaving with one. So if you’re interested in Justin, hurry, because that line is not getting any shorter. But my thoughts are, if his own grandma won’t acknowledge the serious women in his life, don’t go after this one if long term is on your own radar. Good luck Justin, now that your own Grandma has outed you as a player.

Jessica Biel is seen here looking gorgeous, naturally, while she films scenes for her upcoming romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day”, and with recent headlines, one can only wonder how difficult this may have been for Jessica to film. Because it sounds like Justin Timberlake has moved on, or she has, or something, but more and more reports are confirming that this couple is no longer a go. As it stands now officially, even though they were seen together in Napa on Monday, two out of three gossip magazines agree: Justin and Jessica are done, and it sounds like Justin was the dumper in this case according to US Weekly. If this is true, then Britney Spears is gonna drop her menthol-flavoured Twinkie when she gets the new Us Weekly. The magazine claims Justin Timberlake dumped Jessica Biel a month ago. The preview was leaked by etalk on Tuesday. Jessica flew to L.A. to try to win him back, just like she flew to Park City, Utah, during one of their early dates to go skiing with him because he was there for Sundance. Even my doormat is like, “have some dignity, lady.” Justin and Jessica were first seen together at an after party for the Golden Globes in January 2007. Justin had broken up with his girlfriend of four years, Cameron Diaz, the month before jumping into things with Jessica. So after looking at it that way, we may have some hope, because Justin doesn’t really sound like much of a keepr anyway. Remember how Lindsay Lohan caught Justin cheating at a New York club, photographed him, and then uploaded it to her Twitter, asking, “Where’s JB, cheater?” And all those times he was linked to Kate Hudson? Something was not right with those two. Most recently, he’s been working with Rihanna on her new record, and while there haven’t been any credible reports of pop-superstar-on-pop-superstar action, that would certainly be an important step in Justin’s multi-level strategy towards bringing sexy back. Maybe Justin Timberlake did kick Jessica Biel to the curb. But if he did, he’s gone back to dig through the trash. While Us and Star agree that Justin’s seeing other people (with Star name-checking Rihanna–more on that Friday), as mentioned, the pop star was seen with his significant other in Napa, California, on Monday night. People magazine sources say they didn’t break up, but even the magazine’s roster of sources is giving conflicting information. One source says:

“They’re not breaking up. Any time they spend time apart it’s because they’re working.”

Work like, say, the Emmys, which Justin attended without accessorizing his coattails with Jessica Biel. Another source concedes to People that a breakup is one option on the table.

“Things have been a bit up in the air recently. They’ve been spending more time apart–more time with each of their friends, and they’ve been reevaluating [their relationship].”

So I’m going to guess that they’re “working it out,” as in Jessica is working on getting him back and Justin is working on getting out of it, and all this conflicting information is the publicists trying to spin it. Get in there Britney! Strike while he’s confused and vulnerable!

Tinseltowns prettiest couple Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are seen here enjoying each others company as they stroll around their Tribeca neighborhood in New York City last lazy Sunday. And this is one couple who is doing just these sorts of things to dispel any breakup rumors, as they have been more than a little under the radar lately. With this sighting, the couple ends a public appearance draught, but is it enough to silence breakup rumours? Never! Can even street walking save Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel at this point? And while you may not have noticed that a whole month and three days went by without some gooey coupley photo op., trust me, people have been panicking. Nerves were equally calmed one July Friday, when the couple were seen leaving a restaurant in L.A. And just to reassure everyone that they were not feasting on steak and breakups, the next day they were seen leaving the grocery store Whole Foods together. So unless they were just getting ingredients for a cake inscribed with “It’s Over!,” all appears well.

It kind of seemed like they were making each other miserable, because Justin banned Jessica from joining him on his London press trip last week to promote his clothing line William Rast. Jessica wanted to go with him, but he wasn’t having it, sources say. Apparently he just wanted to get away with the guys. He needed his space from her. Right, because we know how many men go running when they see Jessica Biel coming. For space. Jessica ended up going to a Napa Valley, California, spa with some lady pals, while, among other commitments, Justin was performing at a private charity gala at Elton John and his husband David Furnish’s house in England. The source paints a portrait of Jessica as a controlling shebeast, or at least a girlfriend who is a buzz kill during guy time. A trip to Las Vegas Justin took with some dude-friends in February was marred by constant phone calls from Jessica. I believe the ‘source’ even used the words screaming match.

I’ve always gotten the impression that Justin’s favourite thing about Jessica was that she would go anywhere and do anything for him. Ever since their first big ski trip in 2007 when Jessica flew to Sundance to hang out with Justin while he did press for Black Snake Moan, it’s always seemed like a lopsided relationship. So if all this distance and rumoured squabbling does wind up foreshadowing their breakup, I’m sure it’s best for everyone, and by everyone, I mean Justin, who’s got hipper and hotter girls to date. As for Jessica, her first big topless scene was in direct-to-DVD flop Powder Blue. Nevermind Justin–it’s time to sit back on a dock with a bottle of vodka and ask herself where it all went wrong. Match made in heaven? We’ll see.

Ah yes, the history behind Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel is long and strong. And it’s not as pretty as either of them are. Cameron is seen here with her current squeeze, Paul Sculfor, a man who is reportedly making her happier than a pig in mud. Enter Jessica Biel. She is hanging out and dating with the man Justin Timberlake, and she too is reportedly the source of all of Jessica’s happiness. But yes, there is your third degree of separation, as Justin Timberlake is of course, the man that we know broke Cameron’s heart. But if Cam is so happy now, why is she still all **ugh* with Jessica Biel?

Who knows, but she is. At the recent CNN Heroes: An All Star Tribute evening Cameron made a point of deliberately avoiding Jessica Biel. Cameron didn’t even want to see Jessica or be any where near her vicinity, and she rushed through the back entrance of the Kodak Theater in order to prevent the run in with Jessica. A source described it as:

Jessica Biel is seen here hanging out in Los Angeles hanging out with some gal pals and having lunch at Comme Ca on Melrose Avenue. And as usual, Jessica was looking stunning in a cute belted pink dress, big superstar shades, and a sexy Fedora hat. But though she looks all glamour and style, Jessica is not the average celebrity that lives for the moment and thinks of little else. No, Jessica is looking ahead to the future and with the way that the economy is running, she fears that the money crisis that the country is in will affect her down the line. She is constantly in fear that her success will come to a sudden stop, and says that she fears her work will dry up due to the state of the economy.

Every time you don’t worry there’s always that fear of, What’s going to happen next? Where’s my next pay cheque coming from and can I pay my mortgage? And yes, this is one of the very reasons we love Jessica so much. Not only is she a gorgeous super star, but she is so down to earth and has the same worries that the average Joe has. Jessica worries that even though she loves her job and wouldn’t want to do anything else, she knows that she is in a rocky business and she wonders if one day it is all going to disappear.

Jessica Biel is seen here attending the ever-so-elite Nobu Berkeley club in London, and she is looking as elegant and stunning as ever. Jessica is currently on location in London filming her new movie ‘Planet 51’ And by all reports, her hot and heavy relationship with Justin Timberlake is still just that, hot and heavy. By Hollywood standards, these two should be practically married by now, but I guess time will tell on that one. And though by all glimpses it may seem that Jessica is working a very glamorous lifestyle, jet setting, attending trendy clubs, and hanging out with hot beau Justin Timberlake, she says when it comes right down to it, she is really quite boring. When she is not working on a film or hanging out with Justin, she likes to do the gentrified thing and hang out at home with her dog. She says in fact that if she is given the choice of attending a hot glamorous Tinseltown party, or hang out at home with her pooch, the pooch will win every time. She says she works so much that she rarely gets down time, and so that when she does, she takes her R & R seriously. She is far above the need to ‘be seen’ and prefers to just take care of HER when it comes right down to it. She says:

Occasionally I do go out but I’m rarely out and about at the ‘cool place to be.’ I’m not nearly cool enough. I’m way more boring than you might perceive me to be.

Jessica Biel?!? Boring?!? I have to think that many of her fans that lust after her would think otherwise. And just because one likes to hang by the homefront instead of battle the crowds and the media frenzy, does not make one boring. Maybe by Hollywood standards, but by America’s standards, hanging out at home after a long week of work is actually, well, pretty normal. She can’t stand the constant media frenzy and even finds it invasive. Though she does consider herself lucky to have many perks of the Hollywood lifestyle at her fingertips, she finds the paparazzi situation a little too much to contend with at times, and just prefers the homestead. And we know that last year Jessica reportedly got so fired up over the photographer gaggle that she launched a tirade of abuse at them and reportedly even hit one with her umbrella. Though not EVERY celeb acts accordingly with the paps, it does go to show that enough is enough at times. And so maybe a few quiet evenings at home won’t hurt her, but it certainly does NOT make her boring.

For those of you that are Jessica Biel fans, and really, who isn’t, you will be thrilled to see what she is stuffing in your Christmas stocking for the December issue of UK’s Marie Claire. Jessica Biel covers Marie Claire this holiday season and also provides a smoking photo spread and some candid one on one dishing with Marie Claire editing teams. If you have wanted to know Jessica a little bit more, get the juice here first with our inside look at Jessica’s Marie Claire interview. Jessica spoke to Marie Clair on what it was like to be such a paparazzi target, and on how she feels about working on TV and in film. When it comes to being a media target, she says it has taken a few years to get used to it, but even now she finds it a little ridiculous. She says she loves all kinds of fun music such as the old school stuff and things like Whitesnake even. Who woulda thought Jessica was a Whitesnake fan? But she does follow the trends, even with music and she says its not just because she likes it, but because she wants to know what people are talking about. And, when it comes to the differences between working on television or for the big screen, Jessica says that with TV it’s much more organized and this made her a little uptight. When working on film, the overall feel is much more improvisational and relaxed. She was thrilled then when she got the part for ‘The Illusionist’ and enjoyed it immensely. And yes, Jessica even dished with Marie Claire about her looks, and the ever present notion of keeping them youthful as long as possible. With any Tinseltown beauty, aging is one of her biggest fears, she worries over the littlest aches and pains and changes that come with aging. But if you think that this beauty is ever going under the knife to keep that pretty smile smooth and fresh, think again.

‘I’m really afraid of blades on my face. That freaks me out beyond belief. I would way rather have wrinkles than some slice up going on’

And even though she is somewhat of a high profile these days, she says she’s Zen about it because you have to be, otherwise one would go crazy. And if you are wondering how she spends her personal time? Yes, she definitely makes time for that. She even goes back and forth about marriage and children, but thinks of it in an organic sense. If it’s right at the right time in her life, it will happen. Right now though, these issues seem a little foreign to her. If these juicy details didn’t quench your thirst for all that is Jessica Biel, you will have to check out the rest of her goods in December’s UK Marie Claire!
