Here are some photos of Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake over the weekend. The pair went to Jay-Z’s Sunday concert in Los Angeles. I love the body language of these two. Granted, it’s not as harsh as those photo-ops Jessica and Justin did right after Us Weekly claimed that Justin dumped Jessica over the phone. These photos aren’t as clingy, but they’re still depressing, right? Neither one of them looks happy. In Jessica’s case, I think that’s just the way her face looks (call it “natural morose-face”), while Justin seems totally over all of it, once again. But Jessica’s got a plan! She’s got her publicist leaking to anyone that will listen that Justin wants to stay with her, and that all of his friends love her and hate the way Justin may have treated her! Right? But what did this arrangement cost Jessica? According to Fox News 411, she had to give up monogamy (if she even had that Justin in the first place). According to Fox 411, Jessica and Justin are now “friends with benefits” and Justin is free to date other women. Ugh.
Despite widespread reports of their split, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel continue to be photographed together. Could a reconciliation be in the offing?
Kind of.
A source tells Fox411 that despite appearances, the two are definitely not back together full-time. Instead, they are going the time-tested route of first seeing what its like being part-time lovers.
Yes, it appears Justin and Jessica are now “friends with benefits.”
“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,” says the insider. “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.”
How did Timberlake succeed in persuading one of Hollywood’s most beautiful women to agree to every man’s (okay, almost every man’s) dream scenario?
“At first she was very reluctant, but she missed him a lot and so she decided to give it a try even though it wasn’t exactly how she wanted things to be,” the source explains.
“She’s still in love with him, and they are still attracted to each other, so it would have been difficult for them to quit each other cold turkey.”
The source says the new setup is a “win-win” for Timberlake.
“Justin gets the best of both worlds,” says the source. “He doesn’t have to lose Jess as a lover or a friend, but he’s free to explore other [relationships].”
Sounds like a win-win-win.

I like how they describe Jessica as having “calmed down”. Did she really get hysterical? While I think that’s a horrible stereotype for a woman being dumped, I tend to think that in Jessica’s case, she would be extremely devastated if Justin tried to get away from her in anyway. And part of me believes that Jessica, trying to “save” her relationship, would agree to let Justin be a free agent. But does she get to date other guys? I hope so. We all know she’s “not opposed” to spending some time with Robert Pattinson. And we know he likes women who are a million times more ballsy than him.

Take it from one who knows…
When a boyfriend, a long-term serious boyfriend, tells you that he would really like to scale down the relationship so he can sleep with a few extra people, it is perfectly normal and rational to be upset. Many a girl “calms down” because she loves the guy asking and wants him to be happy. Usually, she is miserable from that point on, until she sees sense (or he gets bored) and ends it.
If this story is true, I feel real sympathy for Jess for the first time ever. Ouch.
If I was going to a Jay Z concert I wouldn’t look happy either. I believe that she may be letting Justin date other guys.
If that arrangement is true, Justin is just creating a whackadoodle. That is insanity on both of their parts. Either they both crave and create drama, or they are incredibly short-sighted.
There is no way I would be okay with my ex boyfriend now FWB hooking up/dating other women if I still had strong feelings for him. I’d be so jealous and hurt, I’d definitely be considered a “crazy, psycho (ex) girlfriend.”
They should just break up. It’s hard; it’ll take a while to get over, but at least they aren’t torturing themselves by dragging out their relationship. They both need to grow a pair and leave each other be.
Funny…cow+milk=free. The sum comes out the same EVERY TIME. (Scratches head)
Then he is USING her…if this is true then she is only setting herself up for more pain and is already being disrespected. As hard as it is to break up if she agrees to this she/they are dragging it on and making it MORE complicated. She’ll end up more devastated then he will.
Better to go through a relatively “clean break” and keep away from him and heal.
I agree with PrincessPea and M.
Kevin – LOL
Maybe she realizes that she isnt really spoken about unless JT name is in the sentence!! Nobody cares about her other than the fact that shes dating Justin.
Jessica couldn’t find any black shoes to wear with that outfit?
*yawn*
and they always look SO happy together!
If this story is true, I’m with y’all – break free. Have some self respect – he wants to date/fuck other people which means he does not respect/love her anymore.
They both look less than their attractive best. Hmmm.
And if this story is true than Jessica has serious self-esteem issues. It’s one thing to GET INTO a relationship with no strings attached, quite another for a long term relationship to suddenly become ‘friends with benefits’ at the behest of one partner. Love him all you want Jess but have some self respect for pete’s sake! What are you gaining here?
And by the way, wasn’t Rihanna also at this concert? Might explain Jess suddenly tagging along to a Jay-Z concert…
I can’t stand Justin, but why is he with her? Why does he need to be in any relationship? Obviously, this guy wants to play the field so why not just be single?
I don’t know why he has to always present himself as part of a couple. Even with Cameron, it seemed like she was hanging onto him and he was, like, “Whatever.”
“calmed down”. Did she really get hysterical? While I think that’s a horrible stereotype for a woman being dumped”
Im sorry but that applies to both sexes. Most people, assuming they care about the other one, are going to freak out/get angry/depressed. Does gender really matter? I think you’re just being overly sensitive.
That arrangement will last a few weeks, tops!
I don’t think Jessica is the hysterical sort. I’m sure she figured out that Justin has a relationship expiration date at somewhere around three years.
She can do better.
Overly sensitive, lol.
Unless Justin or Jessica actually comment on the status of their relationship, I doubt the word of any unnamed “source”.
What a douche. Justin seems to treat all his ex’s (Cameron, Britney) viciously at break-up. Cameron seemed to have no clue they were broke up & Britney was publicially broken hearted. I know Britney alledgedly cheated on him & at the time I took his side but seeing how he treats these women when he’s done with them is telling. He just moves on, no looking back, definitely not a good guy.
Jeri, that makes -no- god damned sense whatsoever.
Firstly, he’s still obviously “involved” with Jessica Biel.
Secondly, if a relationship ends acrimoniously, the BEST thing to do is to get as far away from that individual as possible, that’s common sense.
And to be quite honest from a male perspective, after Britney cheated on him, his self respect demanded that of him, to leave and never look back.
To do anything otherwise would be nothing short of chumpy.
You don’t befriend somebody after they’ve disrespected you. That goes for relationships or friends.
If somebody f’s you over, you don’t let it slide, as you’re simply inviting that individual to perceive you as inferior and not worth respect.
Gotta represent.
I read an article somewhere by a relationship expert who said that the real relationship killer was if one partner had contempt for the other, not anger, contempt. The look on Timberlake’s face is just that. Look, I have never “gotten” the whole JT thing I find him a complete douche and ugly to boot so this is easy for me to say but Jessica’s only path to peace and healing is to leave now! If she doesn’t She ends up looking frantic and needy she is taking the damage he is already doing to her self esteem, enlarging upon it and using as a stick to beat herself. Get Thee to a life coach Jessica or ask an adult to help you but get your stuff and let him EAT YOUR DUST!
danielle: Flesh-toned flats make the legs look longer than black flats, and a single color from the skirt down is acceptable fashion.
The Welcome doormat has a new name on it– J. Biel. They NEVER look happy in pics, and she’ll *really* go apeshit once he proposes to one of his gf’s under the new f-w-b regime.
She’s an idiot, and he is terminally unattractive. I don’t care a fig for either, but their very public “relationship” drama is hilarious.
she needs a dose of self-esteem. unless she is just using him to advance her career in which case i hope that compromising herself turns out to be worth it.
WTF? Emotions aside, does Hollywood not believe in STD’s???
Yeah, she’s doing the worst thing possible by allowing this. She only makes herself looks more desperate and clingy, and who’s attracted to someone like that? Unless the person is abusive and wants someone to pathetically hang on to them.
I would never tolerate this sh*t from ANYONE. Like others have said, it makes you look desperate, pathetic and just breeds contempt from your partner. There is NOTHING that any man has that would make me tolerate him dating other women. I’d rather be on my own than put up with that!
And, oddly enough, since I don’t tolerate sh*t and demand respect from men, I have never had a problem keeping any man I’ve dated. I think it keeps things equal, because they know that I *WILL* walk away without a second thought if they don’t treat me respectfully. Because, really…who wants a spineless doormat that you cannot respect? Too bad Jessica can’t figure this out.
loldongs-
EXACTLY. You said it beautifully!
I would have said that I don’t need to demand respwct, I just get it and that is more the point in a relationship. But whatever.
loldongs,
And, from a woman’s perspective, if my significant other suggested (or ultimatum-ed) an “open relationship,” MY self respect would demand that I suggest he “get bent!” and walk away without looking back.
i think that he’s stupid to be with her instead of being with rianna or britney !!!!! but he’s not good for brit so rianna maybe……..
