Here we go again.
Despite “widespread reports of their split” (yes, Fox411 – YOUR widespread reports, which Gossip Cop debunked), Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel “continue to be photographed together,” according to the site.
Sigh.
Fox411 painted themselves into a corner by insisting that the two had broken up and now having to deal with Timberlake and Biel being photographed as a couple and seeming happy.
Well today the blog figured out how to reconcile their premise with reality. According to the site, Timberlake and Biel are now “friends with benefits.”
An “insider” tells Fox411 that Biel was upset when Timberlake supposedly dumped her, “But once she calmed down and they started talking again, he convinced her to stay friends who hook up, without all the pressure of a relationship.”
Really? That’s how it went down, “insider”?
The site’s so-called “source” explains, “At first [Biel] was very reluctant, but she missed him a lot and so she decided to give it a try even though it wasn’t exactly how she wanted things to be.”
Actually, Gossip Cop suspects the facts weren’t exactly how Fox411 “wanted things to be.” So instead of admitting Timberlake and Biel are still seen together because, well, they’re still dating, the blog decides they must be “friends with benefits.”
Because, really, why go with the simple, straightforward, accurate story when it’s so annoyingly out of sync with rumors?
