Justin Timberlake reportedly cheated on his main squeeze, actress Jessica Biel.  According to Us Weekly, the singer/actor was fooling around behind Biel’s back with actress Olivia Munn this past September.  Munn is best known as a Daily Show correspondent and stars in the upcoming NBC series Perfect Couples. According to an insider, after exchanging numbers with the actress, he “started chasing her immediately.”  The source also adds that Munn resisted his advances, telling him it was a no-go if he was still with Biel.  But Timberlake “has been telling people it’s over with Jessica, even though the reality is he’s just doing it behind her back.”  Timberlake’s rep says the accusations are false, while Munn’s rep refuses to comment on her personal life.  It seems a lot of celebrity relationships are heated these days!

The Bachelor

This is the perfect costume for the single guy looking for love.  All you have to do is put on a nice suit and some hair gel, and you’re good to go.  And don’t forget the most important part of the costume: roses.  Hand them out to the cutest girls at the party.

While romance might have been in the air between Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan during the filming of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, that doesn’t seem to be the case post-premiere.  The duo have indeed parted ways, with a friend claiming, “It just wasn’t working,” as the reason behind the split.  With Mulligan back in Los Angeles filming indie flick Drive, a friend offers reassurance that, “[Carey]’s strong. She’ll be fine!”  Would a certain British actor, Tom Sturridge, have anything to do with this?  Sources tell Us Weekly that isn’t the case; they’re just pals.

Recently there have been all kinds of tabloid rumors working to put a chink in the bond between George and his stunning Italian amore-du-jour Elisabetta (sex and drug scandals anyone?). Though Elisabetta has chalked a lot of it up to envy (okay, we’ll admit we’re a little jealous but seriously…that wouldn’t cause us to implicate her in a drug debacle), later this summer there was also a flurry of speculation that E and G were about to become EG (in other words, they were possibly EnGaged).

While more recent reports have explained that the reported left-hand ring flash was actually a napkin ring with which she was playing at dinner (on her left hand while waving it to the paparazzi…ummm…okay, whatever), the reality is that there may actually be some validity to the idea that good ole’ George is in a commitment frame of mind when it comes to his latest gal.

When your ex-boyfriend pleads guilty to 14 counts of money laundering, conspiracy, and wire fraud, what’s a girl to do?  Years later, after a highly publicized fall out with ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, actress Anne Hathaway has found comedic relief when it comes to talking about past relationships. People reported that when Vogue sat down with the actress, and asked about potential deal-breakers, she wittily replied, “Uh…fraud?”  While Hathaway can laugh, looking back, she can’t deny it has left her with trust issues stemming from lies and deceit.  Hathaway is set to star in romantic comedy Love and Other Drugs, which hits theaters November 24.  She says, “Gosh, I hate talking about the breakup, because I don’t want it to define me, but as is to be expected, there were a lot of lingering trust issues, and I think that making a film about trust that required a great deal of trust — well, it was challenging to get there.”

While there’s no question that The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are must-watch television shows, statistics show that out of a 19 seasons, only two couples have stayed together, while waiting to see how the latest relationship between bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez ends up.
