“Lovestoned” singer Justin Timberlake was recently quoted telling the British press that Jessica Biel, the twenty-five year old actress who was caught playing kissyface at a British pub with J.T during his tour in the UK, is simply a “very dear friend” who texts him all the time. But when asked who the love of his life is, he replied: “I haven’t met her yet.”

Justin also claims that J.B pulled a page from the newly-christened Stalking Manual of other famous Jessica (Simpson), by “insisting” that she come on tour with him-and the Memphis native claims it “wasn’t really a good idea.”

Justin tells the Daily Star:

“She truly insisted that she came with me on tour. I don’t know how to say no to a pretty face. But it wasn’t really a good idea. This time I’m putting the machine before everything else. Jessica met up with me in Manchester, but for Paris I told her categorically no. This tour is very important for me. I’m doing it really seriously so there’s no question of playing sweethearts!”
