New photographs of Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake walking hand-in-hand appear to pour scorn on reports they split last month. The pictures, taken outside a restaurant in northern California on Monday (September 28), appeared online on the same day two new magazine reports suggested the couple’s relationship was over. Us Weekly claimed Timberlake ended his three-year relationship with the actress during a phone call back in August. Star magazine went on to claim the singer is now pursuing an affair with Rihanna – following weeks of rumours linking the pair. Representatives for the three stars have yet to respond to requests for a comment, but a source close to the couple has dismissed reports of a split. The insider tells People.com, “They’re together. They’re not breaking up. Any time they spend time apart it’s because they’re working.” Biel has been filming the new A-Team movie in Canada with Bradley Cooper, while Timberlake has been spending time in Los Angeles and New York.

Justin Timberlake has ditched Jessica BielL so he can start a new romance with Rihanna, according to sensational new tabloid reports. The singer ended his three-year relationship with a heartbroken Biel a month ago during an emotional phone call, reports Us Weekly magazine. It comes just months after the actress moved all her belongings into the star’s Hollywood home, as well as a new pad they purchased together in New York City. A source tells the tabloid Timberlake grew tired of the actress’ insecurities and yearned to return to the dating scene. The insider says, “He just said he needs time apart to just experience being single again. She refuses to accept it and called him non-stop trying to save it. She can’t imagine life without him.” A separate report in Star magazine suggests the star severed his ties with Biel so he could pursue single songbird Rihanna, who he’s been increasingly linked with over the past few weeks. Star’s sources claim the couple hooked up after the MTV Video Music Awards in New York on September 13 – while Biel was shooting the new A-Team movie in Canada – and have stayed in contact since, arranging clandestine meetings. An insider tells the tabloid, “They’ve been talking and texting non-stop since the VMAs. He’s pressing her to plan another hook-up. “They liked the excitement of sneaking around. She digs (likes) him and wants to date him.” Representatives for Biel, Timberlake and Rihanna have yet to comment on the reports, as WENN goes to press.

Justin Timberlake’s first Emmy Awards were almost ruined by his girlfriend Jessica Biel’s cold. Biel had to give up the opportunity to join the SexyBack hitmaker at the big show in Los Angeles on Sunday night (September 20) because she was sick – and Timberlake brought her cold with him. Explaining why he was dateless, the singer says, “I’m fighting off a cold and she’s sick as well… We’re quite a pair right now.”

Jessica Biel is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. The Illusionist actress is joining a group of celebrity climbers, including actress Isabel Lucas and singers Lupe Fiasco and Kenna, for the Summit on the Summit expedition in January. The trek hopes to raise awareness about the need for clean water worldwide. Speaking about the trip, Jessica said: “This is a basic human necessity that needs to be addressed now. I want to help any way I can in order to raise awareness toward the life-threatening clean water crisis happening not only in Africa but around the world.” Jessica’s boyfriend, SexyBack star Justin Timberlake, previously stated he was planning to join in the climb, which will also raise money for the Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and PlayPumps International. He said: “I’ve been training four times a week to get my VO2 – oxygen consumption – levels up to expand my lungs. We’ll climb for a week straight, carrying 30lbs on our backs. It’s going to be intense, but it’s going to be so rewarding. We’re going to be ready for it.” The climb to the 19,000 ft summit of the African mountain was organised by Kenna, whose father suffered from waterborne diseases growing up in Ethiopia. He said: “We wanted to make sure there was a way people knew this was an issue and a way for them to do something about it. This is a global issue. It’s not an Africa problem. It’s not a South America problem. It’s a world, global problem. In America, 11 million people go without water.”

Jessica Biel is in talks to join The A-Team. Biel and actor Sharlto Copley are in final negotiations to join the action movie remake, according to Daily Variety. Sharlto is reportedly lined up to play Howling Mad Murdock in the movie, while Biel is being considered as an ex-love of Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck, to be played by Bradley Cooper. Liam Neeson will reportedly play A-Team leader John Hannibal Smith in the movie adaptation of the hit 1980s TV series, while mixed martial arts superstar Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson is slated to play Mr. T’s role as B.A. Baracus.

Jessica Biel teases boyfriend Justin Timberlake when he eats cheese or dessert. The 27-year-old brunette beauty – who has been dating the SexyBack singer for around two years – is obsessed with healthy eating, and is keen for Justin to overhaul his diet. A source said: “Jessica will always pick healthy starters on the menu and if Justin orders a dessert or cheese, she teases him. She’s only joking but I’m sure it can get annoying if it’s happening all the time. “Justin clearly loves Jessica but no-one likes to be told what to eat and how to exercise all the time. It would be great if she relaxed a bit and maybe spent a bit more time chilling out with Justin.” Justin, 28, is said to be concerned Jessica’s desire to have a toned physique is turning into an obsession. She exercises for four hours a day six times a week, sometimes rising at 5.30am to fit in her gruelling work out. The source explained to Britain’s Look magazine: “She starts each day with a jog, followed by two-hours of squats, bench presses, lunges and crunches. She also swims three times a week, and does yoga twice a week, as well as biking and boxing.”

Justin Timberlake might make a movie with girlfriend Jessica Biel. Easy Virtue star Biel says she’d “love” to share the screen with her superstar boyfriend. “Justin is just fantastic and can do anything he puts his mind to,” said Biel. “Sometimes I think that, if it was the right script, I’d love to do a movie with him. “Once you do a project together, you’re kind of opening up your private life, but it seems to me it’s pretty open already!”

Jessica Biel really doesn’t want to get fat! The Easy Virtue ‘actress’ — who recently revealed she only eats half her meals — says she spends five hours a day exercising. “I’ve worked out five hours, sometimes more, in a single day, if I’m in training for a film role or something,” she said. “And it’s hard — it’s very hard!” However, Biel does allow herself some indulgences. The star — who is currently dating singer Justin Timberlake — revealed earlier this year that when stays in London she can’t face going to the gym — and ends up eating far too many crumpets. “I actually just stopped doing what I normally do and I didn’t really have any time. Working out in London, I found, was very difficult. It wasn’t easy like in L.A. or New York where you can just walk to the gym and do your thing,” she said. “I literally felt like I couldn’t get my routine together so I just kind of let it go. “After I found out what a crumpet was and had them every day because they are good! So it did affect my waistline.”
