Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are reportedly just “friends with benefits”. The SexyBack singer – who is rumoured to have split from the stunning actress in September after two-and-a-half years together – has decided he still wants Jessica involved in his life so makes sure they meet regularly. A source said: “Justin was very clear with Jessica that he didn’t want to be in a serious relationship with her anymore where he wasn’t able to date other people. Jessica took the news very hard, but once she calmed down and they started talking again, he convinced her to stay friends who hook up, without all the pressure of a relationship.” “Justin gets the best of both worlds. He doesn’t have to lose Jess as a lover or a friend, but he’s free to explore other relationships.” It was reported the couple split because Justin was not ready to make a commitment and settle down.

Back in the day there was a little show on called 7th Heaven that aired weekly on the WB. It followed the usually clean-cut exploits of the very large Camden family, headed up by their minister father. And, it was the show that launched the career of a girl you might know: Jessica Biel. On the series, which made its debut in 1996 before calling it quits in 2007, Jessica played the oldest daughter, Mary Camden. She left the show in 2006 around the same time as her TV brother, Barry Watson. The reason: contract disputes. But now it seems three years later, after the dust has settled in Glen Oak, the actress would be more than happy to grace the small screen (or even the big one!) for a little 7th Heaven reunion. “I don’t know. I haven’t really been talked to about that in a really long time. It’s always possible. Yeah I’d be open to that,” she told MTV News, adding that she couldn’t think of any ideas for a plot for a reunion special. “I have no idea! My character has gone through so many different story lines,” she said. “Who knows? I don’t even remember where we left her last or what her life was like so I don’t know.” Source: MTV News

Jessica Biel has big plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro this January to help raise global awareness about the clean-water crisis. Is she scared? No way, guys! She tells Parade:
Facing the toughest climb of her life: Mt. Kilimanjaro. “It definitely is a scary challenge because you don’t know quite how your body will react at such high altitudes. But it’s fun, it’s exciting. I’m thrilled to go. It will be a mental challenge. I think it’s really going to be a wonderful experience to have climbed Kilimanjaro.”
Facing her (lack of) fears. “I’m not trying to sound arrogant or anything, but I don’t really have a whole lot of fears. With different characters, you’re always exploring your vulnerability and insecurities. So I feel like I’m always tackling those kinds of things.”
Come on, there has to be something that scares you…
“OK, something I do have a fear of is swimming in the ocean–deep, deep in the ocean. I’ve never really done anything like that before and have kind of a fear of being way out there. Maybe someone will put on a swim one day and I’d love to face my fear, but I would be really terrified!” Source: CeleBuzz

Have you seen I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry? Of course you haven’t, you’re better than that. But have you really seen I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry? In secret? Shamefully? Well then, you’ll agree the best thing in it is Jessica Biel, because she is, in the words of Jason Statham “painfully gorgeous”.
Most alluring as… Well, not to go on about it or anything, but as Alex in I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry. Two words: Cat suit.
Interests include… Photography and collecting vintage glasses with no lenses. Seriously.

Jessica Biel is attached to star in and produce rookie screenwriter Julia Brownell’s F***ing Engaged, a raunchy comedy about a couple who make a pact to have sex every day leading to their wedding so they don’t turn into their crusty old parents. It’s the first script sale for Brownell. A playwright from the MFA theater program at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, she has written Smart Cookie and Fantasy Baseball for the stage and made the short films Pizza Boy and The Assistant. She also has performed in improv and sketch-comedy groups. Biel most recently starred in Powder Blue, Easy Virtue and I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. She next appears in David O. Russell’s romantic comedy Nailed and Valentine’s Day, which hits theaters in February.

Justin Timberlake has flown to see Jessica Biel to prove he still loves her. The SexyBack singer – who has been dogged by rumours he has dumped Jessica – travelled to Vancouver, Canada, to take the Hollywood beauty out on a date on Tuesday (October 20). Justin and Jessica – who is in Canada shooting a movie adaptation of TV series The A-Team – went to a late-night showing of Where the Wild Things Are at the Dunbar Theatre and showed they are still in love as they sat at the back of the cinema hugging. A source said: “They laughed a lot. Justin got comfortable, putting his feet up on the back of the seat in front of him, and his head on Jessica’s shoulder. “They seem so happy to have worked things out.” Justin’s mother Lynn Harless has voiced her support for 27-year-old Jessica, denying her son’s two-and-a-half-year romance is on the rocks. Lynn said about Jessica: “Justin has found someone that’ll golf with him, give him a hard time when he deserves it and stand up to him.” She added: “Jessica is awesome.”

Jessica Biel is gearing up to bring her A-game to The A-Team. The actress said in a recent interview with MTV News that if fans are expecting it to be anything like the TV show, they are in for a surprise. The movie will be much more serious in tone than the classic 80’s action series. “I think it will be a little bit similar here and there but we really have our own tone going on,” she said. “It’s a little bit less campy than the actual show and a little bit more serious action and fighting sequences but still with lots of humor. Lots and lots of humor.” The actress, who will star alongside Bradley Cooper, UFC champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, District 9 star Sharlto Copley and Liam Neeson, would be open to seeing one of the original A-Teamers come back and get in on the action. But that’s all still up in the air. “I don’t know about [possible cameos] actually. Up to my knowledge at this point no,” she said, adding that she’d like to see Mr. T play some kind of role. “That would be great. I can’t imagine that people wouldn’t want to see him. When you think of A-Team you think of Mr. T, so that’d be great. I don’t know about it though.” Biel does know a thing or two about her character, Carissa Sosa (it’s worth noting that IMDB lists her character’s name as Amy Allen; perhaps IMDB has it wrong). “She works for the Department of Defense, so she’s sort of after the A-Team throughout the whole movie,” she said. “She had a previous relationship connection with one of the members of the A-Team, but not presently at the moment is their particular love interest.” Thanks to MTV News for this info!
