Jessica Biel Says She Won’t ‘Kiss And Tell’ On Her Relationship With Justin Timberlake


Jessica Biel landed the December 2011 cover of Elle magazine in a figure-huggingDonna Karan white tank dress with black bra peeking out at the neckline and lots of bling.

Biel talked about the film role that got away (The Notebook,) would she consider leaving acting and the possibility of kids and a family in her future. What she won’t talk about though is her relationship with Justin Timberlake.

Here’s a bit of what she had to say:

On whether she would consider leaving show business: “Absolutely. I’d love to write. I wrote a lot of short stories and poetry when I was a kid. That was my creative outlet. I’ve written a short film, and I write poetry.”

On a role that got away:The Notebook. That’s one that I wanted so badly. I was in the middle of shooting Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and I auditioned with Ryan Gosling in my trailer—covered in blood. [Director] Nick Cassavetes put me through the wringer in an interesting, excitingly creative way. But there’s a million that get away. We’re gluttons for punishment. It’s just rejection.”

On whether she plans to have children someday: “Sure, of course. And, yeah, I think probably at some point it would be something I’m interested in. But I don’t feel pressured. I was never one of those girls who dreamt of my wedding and my Prince Charming. To piss off my mom, I used to say, ‘I’m never having kids, and I’m going to be a fabulously rich old maid living in a house with cute butlers and dogs.’”

On her status with Justin Timberlake: “A girl doesn’t kiss and tell.”

Biel’s next film is New Year’s Eve, costarring Zac Efron, Michelle Pfieffer, Lea Michele, Josh Duhamel, Jon Bon Jovi and Sofia Vergara. It opens December 9th.
