Justin Timberlake moves on from Cameron Diaz to Scarlett Johansson
Posted by Derangé Michel on January 8th, 2007
Justin Timberlake appears to like blonde actresses — just a few days after rumours began circulating that the ‘Sexyback’ singer has left his longtime girlfriend Cameron Diaz, reports have appeared that he’s been getting cosy with Hollywood starlet Scarlett Johansson.
The ‘Lost In Translation’ actress is appearing in the former NSync member’s latest video and the two were seen getting cosy during filming.
The two also spent time together off the set in Los Angeles where they worked on the clip for ‘What Goes Around (Comes Around)’ last week, reports News of the World.
Rumours began circulating that the relationship between Timberlake and his ‘Charlie’s Angels’-star girlfriend of nearly four years when the two failed to spend Christmas together.
“Things just didn’t work out between Justin and Cameron,” a source told the British tabloid.
“They decided to part ways — but they didn’t tell anyone.
“He’s got a tour coming up this year and wanted to concentrate on that, but it seems he’s really hit it off with Scarlett while working on the video.”
Johansson, who until November was involved with her ‘The Black Dahlia’ co-star Josh Hartnett, even appeared at the premiere of ‘Alphadog’, Timberlake’s new film.
Diaz was absent from the event, with the singer choosing to take his mother as a date instead.
But after the gala opening, on January 2, Timberlake and Johansson spent most of their time together at the after-party held at LA club Social Hollywood.
“She walked in keeping her head down. When she met Justin they looked very close and chatted away for ages,” a witness told News of the World.
“There were other people trying to speak to Justin but he kept his attention on her for around an hour. They looked very intimate.
“But he’s still trying to make it look low key — because he left with his mum Lynn later through a back exit.”
Celebrity gossip website perezhilton.com had a similar report from another witness.
“Justin and Scarlett seemed totally into each other, chatting intimately for a good solid hour at the after-party — not an easy feat considering everyone was clamouring for Timberlake’s attention. Then, JT’s mom, Lynn Harless, joined the cozy couple in conversation.”
In a strange twist of fate, the 22-year-old actress had in 2004 dated Jared Leto. Leto in turn had been involved with Diaz for four years before she left him for Timberlake in 2003.
Johansson meanwhile has denied reports that while filming the Timberlake video she acted like a diva.
The ‘Match Point’ star allegedly threw a tantrum when told she couldn’t smoke on set, asking: “How come we have fire dancers, but I can’t smoke?”
Her bodyguard reportedly also prevented people from eating in front of her, directing crew members elsewhere if they planned to eat.
The actress’ publicist rubbished the claims.
“Scarlett is always respectful of other people and never made this statement,” Marcel Pariseau told the New York Daily News.
“Also, Scarlett doesn’t have a bodyguard.”
