Bad Timing For Timberlake Engagement, Says Fatone

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE is in no rush to wed girlfriend JESSICA BIEL, according to his former 'N SYNC bandmate JOEY FATONE.

The SexyBack star has been romancing Hollywood actress Biel since early last year (07) when she joined him at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

But according to Fatone, Timberlake isn't planning to wed Biel in the near future, despite taking their relationship much more seriously than his former flames.

Fatone says: "I think he finally met somebody that he wants to spend the rest of his life. You never know (about an engagement), but I don't know if it's the appropriate time right now. You know what, I think he is just playing it by ear. If it ain't broke don't fix it."

And Biel herself appears to be in no rush to walk down the aisle.

Adding to U.S. magazine Us Weekly in a recent interview, she says: "The actual idea of signing those papers and doing all this stuff... I've never been someone who's like, 'I have to, have to, have to have it."
