JT and Jessica: just friends (for now)

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are just having fun, according to a source close to Timberlake. Rumors of a romance between the two began earlier this month when Biel went backstage at the singer's San Diego concert and continued to surface when the Illusionist star flew to Park City to snowboard and hang out. "It's all about having fun," a source told People mag. "He's trying to have a good time... He is in no way looking to be in a relationship. He's single and happy." Biel is reported to be the source of a well-publicized spat between Timberlake and recent ex Cameron Diaz at Prince's Golden Globes afterparty, where Biel told Timberlake's mom, "He is sooo cute!" I can't say I disagree.

Courtney punk'd by Idol prankster

Yesterday's reports that Courtney Love was contacted as a possible replacement for Paula Abdul on American Idol have been debunked. Love claimed she had been contacted by Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe about the gig last week. "He called," Love said. "He was wondering if I was interested. I thought it was kind of weird but brilliant." Today Lythgoe offered a statement to Us mag denying the call. "I did not call Courtney Love and am afraid someone may have misrepresented me," the Idol producer said. "Courtney Love is a very talented artist, but the judges for American Idol are Paula, Randy and Simon. We have no plans to add to or replace any of them." When contacted for comment, Love admitted, "It was probably a prank."

Kate Spade Ad Campaign Images

I love these images from Kate Spade's Spring 06 Ad Campaign which I wish were available for purchase - wouldn't that be a wonderful idea. I could imagine grouping all of these images together in beautiful mix matched vintage frames in a graphic cluster on a wall in a large walk-in wardrobe or if you're like me and have your own special room for reading, working and watching t.v. in at home they could be fantastic placed again in a cluster on a wall in this sort of an environment - a real treat for a woman who loves fashion and style images.

Which one is your favourite?

**Post note - I previously made an error on this post in that I was under the impression that the images could be purchased from the Kate Spade website. I was incorrect. Apologies for this misleading statement.

A $50 million wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against Brandy by the parents of a woman killed in a car accident involving the talent show host. The suit alleges Brandy "was driving recklessly" when she rear-ended a car on an LA freeway which caused a chain reaction that ultimately killed the woman. Yesterday, investigators publicly recommended Brandy be charged with vehicular misdemeanor manslaughter without gross negligence. "The accident was a terrible tragedy and Brandy's heart goes out to [the victim]'s family," the singer's rep said in a statement. "But for legal reasons we cannot comment on this lawsuit." Brandy could face up to a year in jail if charged and convicted.

JLo and first husband ordered into arbitration

An LA judge ordered yesterday that the dispute between Jennifer Lopez and her first husband Ojani Noa over Noa's proposed tell-all book be settled in private arbitration. Noa claims his book, The Unknown Truth: A Passionate Portrayal of a Serial Thriller, wouldn't be encompass intimate details of the couple's sex life but would be "my story...of meeting her, being in love...and the pain" of her alleged infidelity. "I am not the type of person to write something sexually like that," the ex-waiter said. "They say I am going to damage her name. I would never do that." When asked if his manuscript contained claims Lopez cheated on him, Noa told the New York Daily News, "Everyone in town knows about the cheating... I would tell about the pain I felt." Both parties are to return to court at the end of July to report the progress made in private arbitration.
