Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are EngagedJustin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are now engaged.  Justin Timberlake proposed to longtime on- and off-again girlfriend Jessica Biel while in Jackson, Wyoming over the holidays, according to Us Weekly.  A source told the magazine that Justin knows how much she loves snowboarding and the mountains, so it was the perfect place.  And now friends have revealed that Justin Timberlake, 30, has ‘never been happier’ following his decision to settle down with his girlfriend of four and a half years.

Justin and Jessica, 29, split for three months last year and sources close to the couple have said that marriage was on the cards after they got back together.  A source told the magazine that this was the basis for getting back together adding that when they reunited they had a conversation about taking the next step.  The couple are said to have celebrated their engagement with their family and friends meeting up at Timberlake’s home in Big Sky, Montana. Justin and Jessica were also seen dining at a Thai restaurant in the resort called Lotus Pad and an onlooker said they were having a ‘good time’ with the happy couple ‘throwing back sake’ in celebration. The Hollywood couple was first spotted together during a snowboarding break in January 2007 at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.  However, they did break up for three months at the beginning of the year.  The pair were said to have met earlier in the month at the Golden Globe Awards that year shortly after Timberlake split from Cameron Diaz.

At the time of their March 2011 split, a rep explained that addressing the media speculation regarding Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake’s relationship, they are confirming that they mutually have decided to part ways.  According to the representative, the two remain friends and continue to hold the highest level of love and respect for each other.  In June, Timberlake addressed questions about his then-ex Biel by acknowledging her as the single-handedly most significant person in his life.  Timberlake said that in his 30 years, she is the most special person.  According to him, he does not want to say much more because he has to protect things that are dear to him, for instance, her.

While the two got together again shortly after the breakup, they have always been plagued by speculation about their relationship, whether it be that they are breaking up or getting married.  A spokesperson for the couple was unavailable for comment earlier today.  While the couple are enjoying their engagement Timberlake is said to be mulling over playing Elton John in a biopic entitled about the singer.  John recently told the LA times that Justin is his first choice to play himself in the film, called Rocketman.  The Friends with Benefits star is no stranger to channeling his inner Elton and has played the singer in the video for This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore.

The news of his engagement comes weeks after Timberlake’s former flame Britney Spears announced her engagement to longtime beau Jason Trawick.

Singer/actor Justin Timberlake, 30, is a man of his word as he attended a Marine Corps Ball with Corporal Kelsey De Santis in Richmond, VA on Saturday night.

In July, Timberlake’s Friends with Benefits costar Mila Kunis was invited to the Nov. 18 Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, NC by Sergeant Scott Moore.  The marine made a YouTube video asking Kunis, 28, to be his date to the fete.  Last week, a rep for Mila told The Washington Post that the “Black Swan” beauty is still planning to accompany Sgt. Moore to the event.  After timberlake encouraged Kunis to accept Moore’s invitation, de Santis who is stationed at the Marine Corps base at Quantico, Va.  invited the In Time star to a Marine Corps Ball via YouTube saying that if he cannot go, all she have to say is cry me a river adding hit me up.

When asked at a Cancun press conference this summer whether he intended to attend the ball, Timberlake said yes but not because she shouted out one his songs which he do love.  He added that it is not also because she had all those beefcake military guys behind her to try to intimidate him although that probably would have worked by itself.  He admitted that he was not asked out ever so he was flattered by that.

Before getting set to fly to VA for the ball, Justin made sure to show his appreciation for the military.  On his tweet, Justin thanked the men and women who serve the country and provide them with their freedom asking people to join him in honoring the Veterans that day.  An attendee at the ball captured a photo of the “In Time” actor looking sharp in formal wear at the Virginia event, seated at a table surrounded by marines in uniform, in a photo obtained by a local TV station WVTR.  The wife of a Marine who attended the Saturday’s Marine Corps ball told local station WTVR that Timberlake posed for pictures and seemed like a normal guy.

De Santis spoke to Access Hollywood Friday about her upcoming date with Timberlake, and the Marine talked about a possible dance-off with the singer.  According to De Santis, her friends keep pushing her to dance-off noting that they know about her skills.  She said that she honestly does not think he will be able to keep up with her group of people and she does not think that he will be able to keep up with them.

There is no word yet on whether a dance-off took place, but it was certainly a night this Marine will never forget.  Kelsey and Timberlake are also staying mum on whether anything romantic happened, though De Santis left the door open for things to heat up with the “Sexy Back” singer in an interview before the event.  According to her, she is single but she does not know if a kiss will happen noting that she guess that is all up to JT and what his plans are.  With Justin’s hot girlfriend, Jessica Biel, he probably stayed true to the latter.

Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried attend the ‘In Time’ photocall at Hotel Adlon on Nov. 2 in Berlin.  After getting it all so right at the London premiere Amanda Seyfried made a small wardrobe mistake today in Germany and still managed to upstage Justin Timberlake.  The actress arrived for a photo-call in an unflattering blue dress which clung to her in the wrong places.

Amanda Seyfried and Justin Timberlake stopped on the picturesque streets in front of Hotel Adlon in Berlin as they promoted the European release of In Time.   The pair chose very different outfits with the Like I Love You singer opting for a casual look of dark blue jeans, black jumper, and a grey leather jacket.  Amanda chose nude patent platforms and a cutout Lyn Devon dress.  25-year-old Amanda wore a blue knee-length cut-away dress with nude coloured stilettos but was captured spilling out the elegant number.

Amanda has favored blue this week, also donning a stylish shorts suit in the same shade for the movie’s London premiere on Halloween.  After flying in from London just hours earlier, Justin sported a scruffy stubble and scuffed boots while Seyfried showed off her terrific set of fins in an electric blue shorts suit.  Amanda proved that she did not need to spend thousands on her wardrobe either as she revealed that her suit came from high street chain H&M.

She and Justin have been traveling the globe to drum up international interest in their sci-fi film, which was released in the states on Oct. 28.  In a press day for the project, Amanda said that she actually had fun doing love scenes in her movies especially when her partner is a guy like Justin.  Amanda is reportedly in talks to play Linda Lovelace in a biopic about the porn star.

In Time, by The Truman Show director Andrew Niccol, is a sci-fi thriller set in the future where people stop aging at 25 years old, but is engineered to live for just one more year after that.  Time is money; quite literally, as it is used as a unit of currency and people can buy time to make them live longer, which does not bode well for the lower and poorer classes, many of whom die at 25 while the rich live on for hundreds of years.

Timberlake plays poor Will Salas who is falsely accused of murder and stealing time from the victim, and must figure out a way, with the help of hostage Sylvia Weis, played by Amanda, to bring down the system and make it through another day of his life.  The film also stars Brit stars Olivia Wilde, Cillian Murphy and Alex Pettyfer.  Although Justin, 30, has been offered a lot of movie roles lately he claims to still be interested in making music.  he said that he do not put anything on the back burner adding that he just go from project to project.

The on and off couple is officially together again as they are spotted at a party at Justin’s New York City-based restaurant, Southern Hospitality.  Justin Timberlake was one of the three creators of the Memphis-style BBQ joint in New York’s Upper East Side.  The two could not hide the big smile on their faces as they cuddled close to one another at the Neuro Hosts One Night Only party that featured an exclusive performance by One Republic.  Justin and Jessica tried to act casual and play the whole “I’m friendly with my exes” card, but these two were not exactly hiding their affection as Biel was practically sitting on JT’s lap as they posed for a photo op with Elton John.

An onlooker said that they were cute together and seemed happy and natural adding that they stayed together by each other’s side the whole night.  They were comfortable in both clothing and attitude, which is the result of having been together for four years.   The 30-year-old In Time star wore a dark grey Henley shirt over a charcoal T-shirt and a new boy cap.  29-year-old Jessica wore a heather grey sweater that complemented her boyfriend’s outfit and left her hair in a gorgeous, yet low-key bun.  Her face was virtually makeup free. If anything, she had a trace of pale pink lipstick on her full mouth.

Timberlake and Biel met in 2007, dated for nearly four years before announcing their split in a joint statement this past March.  According to the statement that addressed the media speculation regarding Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake’s relationship, the couple confirmed that they mutually have decided to part ways.  The announcement also said that the two remained friends and continued to hold the highest level of love and respect for each other.

Both were reportedly dating other people during their time apart. Timberlake was linked with his “Friends with Benefits” co-star Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde and even Scarlett Johansson.  And while Biel was casually meeting up with Timberlake she was also linked to Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler.

However, they started spending time together again over July 4 weekend when the Friends with Benefits actor was seen visiting his ex in Toronto, where she was filming the Total Recall remake.  They were spotted riding bikes and getting brunch together.  She also watched him play golf in the Shriner’s Golf Tournament sitting front row, which took place in Las Vegas this past August.  In addition, Biel attended the October 20 Los Angeles after party for Timberlake’s new film, In Time.  She was not at the movie but was right there for the after party where onlookers said they were attached at the hip.

According to the onlooker, they became more and more affectionate, sneaking kisses, whispering to each other and sharing quick back rubs and caresses and at one point, she pretended to punch him a couple times and he gamely bounced up and down like a jack in the box.

Justine Timberlake is planning to take a break from his career so he can travel and be spontaneous.  Timberlake said goodbye to his boy band days, quickly became a solo sensation, and then decided to take the acting world by storm.  This all happened in less than ten year and that is a lot of accomplishment that probably makes him a little bit exhausted.

Justin told Esquire that he thinks that anyone can work and work and work and never really live.  According to him, his plan is to have no plan, he said he will probably travel but he would rather be spontaneous.  He claimed that he feels like he have earned at least a little bit of time to do that.  With a $70 million net worth, he has literally earned it and it is probably a good time for a break.  Justin continued that there were times he was motivated by the fact that he wanted to be the biggest music star in the world.  He said maybe it was not a conscious thought but it was an underlying theme.  According to him, he spent a lot of time feeling like he needed to validate so much of who he was by what he did.

Justin’s new lease on life came around his thirtieth birthday back in January.  He explained that after he turned 30 he started asking himself questions and the only validation he craves now is to be inspired in the same way he has always been.  He said that was all he really owe himself at that point and claimed that if he stopped now, he could look at everything he has done and be so proud.  He also express the excitement that he feels about the coming decade and said he do not have a choice that anyone can say that he is really cool with it.

Recently, Justin has been seen reuniting with his ex, Jessica Biel.  Timberlake brought Biel to the reopening of his restaurant, Southern Hospitality, in New York City and I guess this place is pretty hospitable, because she was basically sitting on his lap.  The couple took a picture with Elton John and David Furnish, and Biel and Timberlake looked very much the couple.

And since his handlers probably also knew that people would start asking when he’s going back to what he actually knows how to do – sing – Justin just happened to randomly throw a statement out there to remind people how much he totally still hearts music.  On questions if Justin is leaving the music scene following his starring in a variety of movies, JT said that it is not like he said that he is not doing music again.  According to him, it is possible to do two things at the same time even for a guy.  He said he is always writing music.  On picking between acting and singing, the singer replied that it is strange but working on movies can be way more personal.  With music, he said that when you write a song it is sort of this sound fantasy.  He added that a movie might be a fantasy situation but it is your job to make it real.

Justin Timberlake was a big winner at the Environmental Media Awards on Saturday night (October 15) at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California when he was given the EMA Futures Award for the development of his green golf course, Mirimichi, in his native Tennessee.  He has said in the past: ‘My two loves are golf and the environment.’   The Environmental Media Association which is a non-profit organization created in 1989 is responsible for the said award.  It believes that through television, film and music, the entertainment community has the power to influence the environmental awareness of millions of people.

Appearing in a pre-taped video “playing Justin’s balls” during a round of golf, Timberlake cracked, “I’d like you guys to know that I recycle my balls at least three or four times a week – that was a terrible sex joke.”  Justin told the reporter on the red carpet that his eco-friendly consciousness was inspired during his growing up in the rural Tennessee.  In his last concert tour, he began to take a big step.  “We started to go zero with our carbon imprint with the bus rides that we took and the plane rides that we took and you kind of realize that it’s very easy to look at it and be like, Wow, this is daunting! But when you kind of break it down it; it’s a lot easier than you think.”  He also joked of his love for green things saying, He said: “I like a lot of green things like nature and money and things like Kermit the Frog, golf greens, Al Green, hell – I even love Seth Green. I like all sorts of green herbs, some of which I take with medical prescription. It’s legal! Uh, green tea. That’s what I was referring to. Green tea.”  TV legend Norman Lear was the Presenter of his award.

J.T. appearing in a three-piece black suit, explained how the project came about.  “It started off as a sentimental purchase because it’s where my stepfather taught me how to golf,” Timberlake said of Mirimichi. “It was special to our family because it was sort of like a community park in a way and they were going to auction it off. So we bought it for sentimental reasons and during our first meeting it was like, What do we do now? It had kind of gone unattended. So I wondered, Is it possible to make a golf course eco-friendly? And it turned out it’s possible.”

Other winners included the Yogi Bear movie and television shows like Futurama, Real Time With Bill Maher, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and preschool favorite, Bubble Guppies.  The documentary ‘Revenge of the Electric Cars’ received a prize as well.  Grey’s Anatomy star Kim Raver said she upped her green living when she became a mom. “I think it gave me a better perspective of wanting to take care of future generations,” she said, adding, “We try to do what we can, but you can always go even further.”
The 30-year-old singer and actor will be promoting soon the science fiction thriller In Time.  The film, which stars Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde and Hollywood’s bad boy Alex Pettyfer, is scheduled for an October 28 release.
