JUSTIN AND CAMERON CALL IT QUITS
When Justin Timberlake, 25, was casting the femme fatale for his new $1 million video, "What Goes Around," the singer –
who was on the rocks with 34-year-old girlfriend Cameron Diaz -- went after one actress: Scarlett Johansson. And
Johansson readily agreed, an odd choice for the seasoned thespian who’s known for her careful film choices.
But not if you have a crush on the leading man, says a pal of Johansson.
“Scarlett has always liked Justin. They’ve always had a flirtation – that’s why Cameron was threatened by her.”
With good reason. The decision to cast the 20-year-old as the video vixen pushed Timberlake's relationship with Diaz to
the breaking point, and paved the way for Johansson to move in for the kill.
“She could not believe he went behind her back to put her in the video," says a Timberlake pal. "Cameron was very
jealous of Scarlett.”
Adds the source, “they definitely got together after she did the video.”
Indeed, sources in both stars’ inner circles tell Us the couple are in the beginning stages of a relationship and excited to
get to know each other.
Where did Cameron's long-standing rivalry with Scarlett begin? How is Cam coping with the Justin’s newfound romance?

Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz have finally confirmed their breakup.

They issued the following joint statement on Thursday:Jan.11,2007

"It has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our relationship, but, out of respect for the time we've
spent together, we feel compelled to do so now, in light of recent speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that
are being reported by the media. We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship and have done so mutually and as
friends, with continued love and respect for one another."

Diaz, 34, and Timberlake, 25, began dating in 2003 after meeting at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.

They called it quits just before the new year, with one source pinpointing the pair's split to have taken place between their
lovey-dovey December 16 night on the set of Saturday Night Live and Timberlake's Christmas Day trip to visit Diaz in Vail,
Colorado.

However, you can see the former couple together again (in cartoon form anyway) when they costar in the upcoming
animated sequel, Shrek the Third.
