Allegedly, Justin Timberlake dumped Jessica Biel one month ago. Also allegedly, they’re still together. This is what last week was like – one report said they were totally done, another saying the opposite (sort of). What I think happened was that Justin didn’t really dump Jessica, he just asked for some time and space, or they were taking a timeout, something like that. When Us Weekly’s cover story went up, suddenly Jessica felt the need to lead Justin into some kind of photo op to “prove” that they were still together. Photo ops don’t save relationships, though. And Jessica couldn’t take the time to coerce JT into another “Whoops, we were just holding hands as we left the restaurant” theater piece. Jessica had to fly back to Canada for filming on The A-Team.

While Jessica’s looking totally miserable on the set, Justin has been partying it up Los Angeles. There’s no mention of Rihanna – she’s in Paris for the fashion shows, of course – but JT has been chillin’ with the ladies. Over the weekend there were some photos of JT with a “mystery woman” in the passenger seat of his car, but you can’t really make them out. X17 had similar photos, and you can see the woman a little better. X17 is calling her “married” but I think they’re just judging that on her visible rings. Oh, nevermind. People Magazine is calling the woman Justin’s “interior decorator” – so that’s what they’re calling it these days. If she is an interior decorator, that brings up another thought – why is JT redoing his place? Bad Biel mojo, and he’s converting it into a bachelor pad once more? X17 also has a separate report claiming that Jessica has “moved out” of Justin’s house because her pit bull is nowhere to be seen. Sounds fishy, but it could be possible. Radar had this report about Justin’s partying after Jess left for Canada:

With reports and denials of a breakup flying in the past week, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s relationship has become the center of the gossip guessing game.

And while Jessica’s schedule has kept her away from Justin at times in recent weeks — she’s been traveling back and forth from Canada where she’s filming the A-Team move — there’s no denying Justin found female companionship to keep himself busy Friday night, when he was once again without Jessica.

RadarOnline.com eye witnessed Mr. Sexy Back at Crown Bar in the City of Angels, hanging at a table with a close female friend who is a promoter. And wherever Jessica was, she wasn’t there. We know. We stared.

Justin didn’t let the absence of his two-year gf stop him from having a great time. Rocking his black glasses and sporting a slightly longer hair style, he partied with a group of women. (We counted six at one point.) All were vying for his attention, with one blonde standing on the couch right behind Justin and dancing in a hey-your-girlfriend-isn’t-here-tonight way!

Always the gentleman, Justin chatted with all the beauties and kept a bottle of vodka on the table for all to enjoy. One of the girls put her arm around Justin for a while. (Hey, it could have just been a friendly maneuver.) Justin and the ladies stayed until last call.

Hm… how long until Jessica needs another photo op? Most likely she’ll fly home to LA the first time she has a day off, which could be weeks. Or do you think she’ll finally wise up and just say “enough is enough.” Seriously, she can do better. I’m not even a fan of Jessica’s, but I think she should do the dumping, then move on to an athlete or someone cool. Drawing this crap out with Justin is doing neither of them any favors. I actually think that Justin is trying to force Jessica to do the dumping – he seems to be treating her like crap, and I could totally see him as the guy who wouldn’t be man enough to really be honest and break up with any girl face to face.

Here’s Justin Timberlake and his boys heading home after a long night at Crown Bar in Los Angeles on September 25th. Jessica is shown looking sad on the set of “The A Team” in Vancouver this weekend. Images thanks to INF Photo.
