JESSICA Biel says she had a “bad attitude” during her teenage years.

The actress — who stars in the new animated kids’ movie Planet 51 – has admitted she was a troublesome teen.

“When I was 16, I was pushing it on every angle with my parents, with the world,” she said. “I thought I had it going on. I thought I knew everything. I had a little bit more of a bad attitude as a 16-year-old.”

Jessica, 27, recently revealed that she hates having to spend hours fretting over her appearance.

“When you think ‘I don’t want to do my hair and make-up, I want to just go to work’ it is such a chore. So working on a movie like that was bliss because no one cared what you looked like,” she said.

“For a girl, you have to go through so much hair and make-up and so many costume fittings. I usually sit in the make-up chair for two hours in the morning, and it was so nice not to do that.”

JESSICA Biel loved filming her new animated movie Planet 51 — because she didn’t have to make any effort with the way she looked.

“Not for me at this moment,” said the Easy Virtue star. “I have a dog and that is hard enough!”

JESSICA Biel is in no rush to start a family.

The actress — who regularly hooks up with singer Justin Timberlake – says she’s not ready to have children because she has enough trouble looking after her pet dog Tina.

“Not for me at this moment,” said the Easy Virtue star, 27. “I have a dog and that is hard enough!”

Biel also revealed that she’s enjoying shooting her new movie The A-Team because she gets to fire guns.

“I haven’t done a lot of M4 machine gun shooting in my life and I’m doing that now a lot, it’s amazing to understand how to run those weapons,” she said. “I know it’s a little hardcore but it’s what I’ve been doing. It’s challenging.”

JUSTIN Timberlake and Jessica Biel are just “friends with benefits” — according to a new report.

The pair — who split in September after two years together — are apparently seeing what it is like to be part-time lovers.

“Justin was very clear with Jessica that he didn’t want to be in a serious relationship with her anymore, where he wasn’t able to date other people,” a source revealed.

“Jessica took the news very hard, 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.

“At first, she 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.

“She’s still in love with him, and they are still attracted to each other, so it would have been difficult for them to quit each other cold turkey.”

Justin Timberlake could soon be back in the arms of former flame Jessica Biel — if the pop star’s pals get their way!

According to Fox News, Justin’s friends are rather “disappointed” that the star dumped the Easy Virtue actress.

“Justin’s friends are usually all about anything he wants, but in this case, his boys are totally disappointed in him,” a source said.

“They think he’s making a big mistake by dumping Jess. Justin and Jess have their problems, but all in all, his friends think she is one of the best things that ever happened to him.”

The source claims that Justin’s pals are now refusing to party on down with the newly-single superstar.

“They really thought he got past all of that,” the source says, “But it’s all beginning all over again. They think if they don’t give in he may come to his senses and get back together with Jessica. That’s what they really want to see happen.

“It’s a shame his friends can’t just be there for him, but they have their opinions, and they disagree with his choice to dump Jess.”

Justin Timberlake does “care about” Jessica Biel — but the couple has definitely split, sources say.

The pair — who had been dating for almost three years — apparently decided to call time on their romance because they were drifting apart.

“Justin and Jessica did break up,” a source said. “They were very busy living separate lives this summer and they drifted apart.

“Justin broke up with Jessica weeks ago, but he’s a goody guy and he does care about her.

“They will always stay in touch because he works very hard at friendships with his exes.

“Jessica is obviously sad, and Justin is still around to be there for her. Photos will still surface of them together because they will remain friends, and anytime she needs him, he will be there.”

Meanwhile, Justin’s grandmother has said the star is single.

Justin Timberlake’s grandmother Sadie Bomar has confirmed his split from girlfriend Jessica Biel — by revealing the sexy singer is “single” and only focused on his career.

Bomar says Timberlake — who was recently reported to be dating singer Rihanna — was never fully committed to Biel.

“Jessica was keen to marry, but Justin isn’t ready,” she told the UK’s Closer magazine.

“The girlfriends come and go, but we believe nothing has ever been serious.

“Justin does his own thing and he isn’t ready to marry just yet.”

Maybe Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel haven’t split.

The couple — who have been dating for around two-and-a-half years — are apparently “re-evaluating” their relationship.

“Things have been a bit up in the air recently,” a source said. “They’ve been spending more time apart – more time with each of their friends, and they’ve been re-evaluating their relationship.”

Earlier this month, 27-year-old Jessica attended the Los Angeles wrap party for new movie Valentine’s Day alone. Justin, 28, was spotted partying with pals in West Hollywood days later.

“They’re together,” another source said. “They’re not breaking up. Any time they spend time apart it’s because they’re working.”

Recent reports have claimed the pair split up to a month ago, but are not ready to go public with the news.

It has also been suggested Justin has grown close to singer Rihanna, 21, while they have been working on new music together.

The star’s close friendship reportedly put increased strain on his relationship with Jessica.

Justin and Jessica are currently in Santa Barbara together, and were spotted enjoying a romantic meal on Monday night.

“Justin Timberlake is on the verge of dumping girlfriend Jessica Biel,” Showbiz Spy exclusively reported last week.

And guess what? WE WERE RIGHT!

A source close to the pair — who have dated for three years — says Timberlake, 28, has told friends, “it’s over,” and that he ended their rocky romance for good — over the phone.

“It was about a month ago,” the pal told Us Weekly magazine.

Meanwhile, Biel, 27, is in “severe denial and won’t accept” the split, the pal said.

“There’s no way of knowing if it’s a firm breakup, because with them it’s so hot and cold,” the source said.

So, once again: WE ARE RIGHT.

Jessica Biel is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

The Illusionist actress is joining a group of celebrity climbers, including actress Isabel Lucas and singers Lupe Fiasco and Kenna, for the ‘Summit on the Summit’ expedition in January.

The trek hopes to raise awareness about the need for clean water worldwide.

Speaking about the trip, Jessica said, “This is a basic human necessity that needs to be addressed now. I want to help any way I can in order to raise awareness toward the life-threatening clean water crisis happening not only in Africa but around the world.”

The climb to the 19,000 ft summit of the African mountain was organised by Kenna, whose father suffered from waterborne diseases growing up in Ethiopia.

He said, “We wanted to make sure there was a way people knew this was an issue and a way for them to do something about it. This is a global issue. It’s not an Africa problem. It’s not a South America problem. It’s a world, global problem. In America, 11 million people go without water.”

Jessica might soon be a single lady.

As Showbiz Spy exclusively reported earlier this week, Biel’ boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, is secretly dating Rihanna.

“Justin and Rihanna have been seeing each other for the past few weeks,” a source close to Rihanna told us.

“He is really into her and it’s only a matter of time before he dumps Jessica.”
