Though he enjoys a love-hate relationship with the media, Justin Timberlake has finally broken his silence to the tabloid media on the topics they have been desperate to know about. Timberlake offered up a sneak peek into his thoughts on his girlfriends, both past and present.


But it wasn't a tabloid newspaper that scored the saucy interview with Justin Timberlake. JT visited The Oprah Winfrey Show where he dished about the fact that he's not single at the moment. "I'm dating someone" the SexyBack singer stated. He didn't quite manage to mention the name of his squeeze, but did say, "all I can tell you is she smells lovely."


Justin Timberlake, who was most recently romantically linked to Jessica Biel, said, "I get pretty romantic around her," admitting that he sings for his new girl. He also said that when they are apart because of his tour, he keeps in touch with an iChat webcam. "Technology is a wonderful thing sometimes." Timberlake added, "I find that to be really cool, when you can actually see someone's face. I do it with my friends, as well, just to have a conversation back and forth. It just makes you feel closer, that's all."


It has been widely rumored that Justin Timberlake has been linked to Jessica Biel ever since JT decided to invite Biel and his mother to dinner after the MTV Video Music Awards. That is in keeping with a People magazine source who said back in May that, ""Justin's in love. He wants to be with her all the time. He's ready to be serious."


Onto the hot topic of his ex-girlfriend, Oprah Winfrey asked, "What do you think is going on with Britney?" Justin Timberlake replied, "I don't know, to be honest with you." Timberlake admitted that, "I haven't spoken to her in years. I mean, there's no ill will - I have nothing but love for her. It's funny because we dated each other at a time ... wow, I haven't talked about this in a long time. It's interesting." Timberlake admitted, "I think [famous teenagers] is basically the best way to describe what happened to us. I think she's a great person, and I don't know her as well as I did. What I do know about her is she has a huge heart, and she is a great person."

It comes as no surprise when names like Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani are thrown among the best dressed stars of the year. People magazine made it official that all three women are "Best" side of People magazine's "Best & Worst Dressed of 2007" double issue, which his store shelves on Friday.


As well as Beyonce, J. Lo and Gwen, other big names like Katie Holmes, Jessica Biel, Penelope Cruz and Drew Barrymore made the list as some of the best dressed celebrities of the year. Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz and Ali Larter were also on the good side of the list, with their fashion prowess being hailed by the popular magazine. Fox News quoted the magazine, which said that, "Whether classic or continental, girl-next-door or glam," all the celebrities named to the list have made the right fashion movies throughout the year.


It's not just women who are being praised for their fashion sense. America's newest British hunk David Beckham has been named to the list of sharp dressers, as has Terrence Howard. Popular Hollywood hunks like Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and George Clooney were also graced with an nod on the fashion list. These men have made a point of being dressed sharp and smart every time the step in front of a camera, be it in full-on suits and tuxedos, or if its a pair of slacks and a T-shirt.


When it comes to best-dressed couples, Brad Pitt found his way into another 'Best' list with his partner Angelina Jolie. Gwen Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdale also made the cut, as did newlyweds Eva Longoria and Tony Parker. Halle Berry and her boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, were noted for their fashion sense. While the couples were being given attention, a separate list was compiled for the "British Accent" of fashion, which stems from across the pond. Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Lily Allen, Kate Middleton and Emma Watson were all given the thumbs on their wardrobe.


As for the fashion "don'ts", look no further than Sienna Miller and her black hot pants. Or, in the world of music, Avril Lavigne seems to have fallen out of grace. Instead of sticking to her standard t-shirt and tie, Lavigne shocked fashion critics with a frilly dress and combat boots. Not exactly on the fashion field, Avril. Others who were noted for the stunning failures of wardrobes include Janet Jackson and Kirsten Dunst, both of whom were accused of wearing the "worst red carpet dresses" of the year.

After her unforgettable role in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Jessica Biel must have been on the minds of men around the world. The only problem came from the fact that Biel had been against doing nudity on camera. While we've all heard of no-nudity clauses, Jessica Biel has signed something that is exactly the opposite.


A recent report indicates that Jessica Biel has signed on for her next movie, Powder Blue. While that might not be exciting, what is quite titillating is the fact Biel's contract outlines, in quite specific detail, just how much nudity she will be showing off for the role. According to reports in Us Weekly, there is going to be quite the helping of Jessica Biel's nude body.


Powder Blue, an ensemble drama that features Jessica Biel as a stripper who got into the profession to raise money to save her terminally ill son, also features Forest Whitaker, Ray Liotta and Patrick Swayze. For her role in the movie, Us Weekly reports that, "The actress, 25, signed a contract that explicitly details the bare minimum fans will see - including shots of her breasts (nipples from the front and side) and her butt (side view only)." A source said that the film's director, Timothy Linh Bui, wants even more, but "Jessica will decide if she wants to show anything additional."


Jessica Biel seemingly became camera shy about nudity after a controversial photo shoot back in 200 for Gear magazine, in which she bared quite a bit of skin. After the pictures hit newsstands, Biel said she felt "humiliated" by the images. In an interview with New Zealand outlet, Stuff, Jessica Biel said that she worried about how her family would react to on-screen nudity. "definitely worry about how my family would react. You can't help thinking about your dad or brother seeing something."


As recently as a week ago, Biel said, "I don't have to be fully naked for the movie. I haven't decided exactly about the nudity. It's a tough one. I'm considering it but it's a very scary thing to do. It definitely feels vulnerable to be naked in front of anybody, let alone a film crew."
