Is Justin Timberlake back on the singles market? And can Madonna really point the finger at the paps for her horse-riding accident? Read on!

Kate Hudson's 30th birthday bash has added more fuel to the red-hot rumour that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's two-year romance is all over.

JT was reportedly the life of the party at Hudson's bash last weekend at her parents' swanky Pacific Palisades home, mingling with guests who included Gwyneth and Chris, Liv Tyler, Demi and Ashton, Cher, Gwen Stefani, Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila, Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes and Adam Sandler.

The 27-year-old singer broke out some of his renowned dance floor moves, sank some tequila shots (incidentally his latest venture is his own brand of tequila, 901), and generally got the party started amongst the celeb crew. Word is he gave Kate a rather dirty spin on the dance floor to celebrate the beginning of her fourth decade.

Sources said he was acting ‘very much like a single guy' at the bash.

Girlfriend Jessica wasn't present. No biggie at first mention, right? I mean, regular couples head out and about and have perfectly good evenings without each other all the time. It must be more common with celebs, whose jet-setting lifestyles and busy careers often mean they're not even on the same continent, let alone the same side of town.

But this is Jessica Biel we're talking about, people. The girl has an ass, and a very famous boyfriend. The ass isn't going anywhere, but by all accounts she's determined to hang on to the boyfriend with both hands.

While engagement rumours have swirled around the pair on and off over the course of their relationship, more and more sources have been proclaiming that the pair are on the rocks of late.

Justin and Kate, if you recall, supposedly had a brief but very hot hookup a couple of years back at a New Year's Eve bash before he started dating the Biel.

Ever notice how Justin, a super dooper celeb, often manages to fly under the radar when he's out and about solo? You rarely get pap pictures of him on his own unless he's at a show or a charity event. Throw Jessica in the mix, however, and suddenly there's pictures of them at the grocery store, walking their dogs, on holiday...you get my drift.

I don't really give a fig for Justin in the fanciable department. My long-term theory is he looks like he wouldn't be able to undo a bra. He may well be a champion at unhooking the brassiere, but he just looks like a fumbler. And no, don't give me that ‘but he dances so well' line. I've heard it, and still no sale. Don't even mention his acting!

But I may well be in the minority, and poh-tay-to, po-tah-to. I know plenty of you fancy the pants off him, and that leaves Russell Brand for me!

If Jess and Justin are really all over, who'd be a good girlfriend for him? Let me know below.


Madonna has been called many things during her thirty-year showbiz career, but is she a liar?

The Material Girl fell off her horse while riding in the Hamptons, New York's playground for the rich and privileged, over the weekend. Not uncommon for those who ride horses. In fact, Madonna broke her collarbone, hand, and cracked three ribs after a horse-riding accident at her English estate, Ashcombe, in 2005.

This time around though, Madonna's long-suffering rep Liz Rosenberg was lightning fast to point the finger of blame squarely at the paparazzi, saying the singer's horse was startled by photographers who jumped out of the bushes to snap Madonna.

Boo, hiss etc.

Madonna was taken to a local area hospital where she was diagnosed with minor scrapes and bruises and went to recover at pal Gwyneth Paltrow's Hamptons estate.

Thing is, the report filed about the accident (necessary as it prompted an ambulance call out) made no mention at all of paparazzi involvement. In fact, the photographer who was taking pictures of Madonna before her fall said he left half an hour before the singer ate it.

Said snapper told TMZ that all his pictures were taken from a public road, and the only other photographer around was Madonna's long time pal Stephen Klein - the photographer behind the saucy Rio de Janeiro photo shoot where Madonna met Jesus Luz.

Incidentally, rumours abound that Jesus is actually the toyboy of Klein, not Madonna.

Thoughts?

Additionally, a Sergeant from the Southampton, NY, police department commented to TMZ on the police report for the event: "There is no mention of photographers. It's a matter of spin control that went out of control. If they felt there was something else, they would have written ‘paparazzi' in the form - if they felt there was a problem."

People fall off horses all the time: fact. Which is why I don't go near them with a pole. I think they're lovely looking, but there's no good reason for us to meet. I have no doubt it wouldn't end well.

Madonna's not backing down with her story, though, and has pals from trainer Tracy Anderson to Demi Moore sharing their opinions on the paparazzi and the unfortunate incident. And to be fair, Rosenberg has told some porky pies on Madonna's behalf in the past - denying split rumours with Guy Ritchie and the adoption of David Banda amongst them.

The singer is already back to her six day a week training regime with Anderson, who dismissed her injuries as merely ‘falling on her bum.'

I thought Americans called it the ‘fanny'?

Hee. Fanny.

completely agree with you on the whole JT issue.. can't stand the guy myself, and i don't know what all the fuss is about.

Bruce Springsteen's wife Patti also fell off a horse last weekend and recieved injured ribs. She's not making a big issue of it like Maddona is though.

'Minor scrapes and bruises' - why did they even call an ambulance? What a drama queen! She had a little fall and should have got straight back on, just like the saying says. I agree too, don't see whats so hot about JT...

Madonna is probably just trying to get Joe Public back on side after the whole "Mercy Mission" but it seems to be backfiring, big time. JT reconcile with Ms Spears, if not for publicity's sake, for shock value at least!

Forget JT I think the real story here is that JB might be back on the market. As you say, the girl's got ass.

JT? i can't see the point of him being a singer, i don't see how others think hes hot, i think he looks like a horse, thats my opinion. And Madonna? talk about drama queen, alot of people fall of horses and end up very worse off then scrapes and bruises.
