Tattle: Biel & Timberlake are kaput, mag says
A FEW DAYS AGO Tattle reported that Jessica Biel was going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in order to bring awareness to the problem of unclean drinking water.
Speculation was that boyfriend Justin Timberlake might join her on the trip because he, too, had been talking about mountain climbing.
Scratch that.
Justin is not only not climbing Kilimanjaro, he's no longer climbing Jessica.
Us Weekly reports that the duo has called it quits after three years.
A mutual pal of the pair told Us Weekly that Justin told friends "it's over," and that he ended it for good - over the phone.
While Justin reportedly has been enjoying himself post-breakup, the "pal" said Jessica was in "severe denial and won't accept" the split.
Said another anonymous source: "There's no way of knowing if it's a firm breakup, because with them it's so hot and cold."
Well, she's hot.
And if he broke up with her by phone, he's cold.
