Jessica and Justin split over Rihanna?

Could celebville's second best-looking couple have split up? Yes, if you believe what you read in the gossip magazines. According to some reports (but not others), Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel broke up a month ago – and pop star Rihanna may have had something to do with it.

But why? "He just said he needs time apart to just experience being single again,” one source told US Weekly. "She refuses to accept it and called him non-stop trying to save it. She can't imagine life without him."

Awww. But while Jessica was in Canada filming the A-Team movie – she plays Face’s ex – Justin was spotted at the MTV Video Music Awards with none other than Rihanna.

Said another insider: "They've been talking and texting non-stop since the VMAs. He's pressing her to plan another hook-up. They liked the excitement of sneaking around. She digs him and wants to date him."

Scandalous! Justin and Jessica were reportedly planning on climbing Mount Kilimanjaro together to highlight the need for clean drinking water among poor communities – but that now looks a bit unlikely.

"Although Jessica, especially, is hopeful of a reconciliation, things aren't looking great,” a source told the Daily Mirror. “The prospect of being up a mountain with your ex is one which appeals to neither of them."

But another insider denied JT and JB had parted ways. "They're together," said the insider. "They're not breaking up. Any time they spend time apart is because they're working."

Sounds like there’s a problem. If no one else can help, and if they can find them, maybe they could hire… oh never mind.
