Jessica Biel: Justin Timberlake Is 'The Most Precious Thing In My Life'

Jessica Biel covers the February issue of Vogue and inside she avoids discussing her relationship with Justin Timberlake because it is the most precious thing in her life. Last summer rumors circulated that Biel and Timberlake had broken up, and that Timberlake was seeing Rihanna--whose style Biel now professes to admire.

Here are some quotes from the interview and you can read the entire thing here:

On her relationship with JT:

"I don't want to talk about it," she said. "I don't feel the need to clear anything up. It's the most precious thing that I have in my life, and I care about it so much that I don't care about what anyone says or thinks. I have just not addressed it in any real way, and I'm not going to. It's mine. And I really like that about it."

On her style:

"I like really uberfeminine, classic-looking things mixed with something rougher around the edges. I've been looking at Rihanna a lot, checking her out. She's got something going on that I am sort of craving a little bit."

On posing nearly-nude for Gear magazine at age 17, which released her from her '7th Heaven' contract:

"I really wanted to go to college, and it all kind of happened at the same time. I did this photo shoot; the photo shoot came out; it was terribly embarrassing. I had to apologize to everybody, including my parents. It was a big learning experience: learning how to have boundaries and how to say no."

JT is... amazingly talented. JB... I can't think of anything she's been in, offhand.

In any case, I wish them luck, individually and otherwise.

Of course Rihanna has something going on that she craves---it's called WORK. A CAREER.

Poor thing, if what she says is true she's ultimately in for a big disappointment. He's not too deep.

Wow, talk about the ultimate relationship death knell...

Ladies, here's a hint: if you want to be happy, do not make your significant other "the most precious thing in your life." It's a nice thought, but the only thing that you can count on other human being to do in a relationship is disappoint you.

I would equate "precious" with health, happiness and hope for the future, be it coupled or not.

JT is probably tired of her by now. Jessica has an AMAZING body and she is into females (which is always a bonus). For some reason I just don't find her that interesting and a guy like Justin is probably ready to play the field, he is a musician and that's what they do!

Curious.....how do you know she is into females?

I don't know much about Jessica Biel, but I did see her in a movie with Edward Norton called The Illusionist, and she was very good in it.

Sad. Poos guy must feel guilty about breaking up with her.

I can't believe this guy's a star.

Jessica Biel isn't a guy.

Really Tiffany?
Maybe then that means that I was referring to J.T. "I can't believe this GUY'S a star". So the guy in the story is who? Try to keep up with the rest of us if you are going to contribute.

Jessica, couldn't you do much better than this? Girl, re-evaluate.

Actually, that question could be posed to JT.

[Rachael78]

01:57 PM on 01/16/2010

Really? Like who?

What an absolute dreary couple.

JT can do better then this...

Bummer. She doesn't want to talk about the most interesting thing she has going on in her life?

Ruined your day, did it?

Clue: Men dont like to be refered to as "precious thing". Paris Hilton’s dog is a precious thing. A man should be exciting, excillerating, heart stopping. Precious? No.

"it's" precious. The relationship.

Wow. A Jessica Biel fan? You folks are more elusive than the Loch Ness Monster. I didn't know you all existed.
