Is Olivia Wilde famewhoring her relationship with Justin Timberlake?
Yesterday, Us Weekly and People Magazine both managed to get “exclusives” about Olivia Wilde and Justin Timberlake possibly-probably on a date over the weekend. My assumption, after reading the stories, was that Olivia and Justin were officially “rolling out” their new relationship to the media outlets of record. Lainey at LaineyGossip had a different take – she thought that Wilde was another Jessica Biel, using her association with JT to promote herself, and promoting the “relationship” like other actors would promote a film. This morning, People reports that Olivia is denying that there’s anything between her and JT – apparently, she got on her Twitter and was talking about it:
Is a relationship between Justin Timberlake and Olivia Wilde heating up? Not according to the House, M.D. star.
“Cool it, honeybadgers,” Wilde, 27, Tweeted Monday, apparently referring to reports that she and Timberlake were seen snuggling at an L.A. nightclub. “We are just friends and have been for years.”
The two, who costar in the upcoming sci-fi movie Now, were spotted on Saturday at The Roxbury in Hollywood, where they were apparently getting cozy in a VIP section before moving to the patio so Timberlake, 30, could listen to hip-hop.
While some source say the newly single actress and Timberlake appeared to be a on a date, another source tells PEOPLE: “They’ve been friends since they worked together on Alpha Dog. Nothing’s going on. They’re just friends.”

So… what’s the deal? She and JT were hanging out, reportedly all over each other, and then somehow the next day People and Us Weekly get the same story, and then Olivia waits 12 hours to officially deny it? Is Olivia That Girl? You know That Girl. The Kate Bosworth, the Rachel Bilson, the Olivia Munn, the Jessica Biel – those That Girls. The girl who leaks stories about herself only to publicly deny it, thus spreading a story out over two news cycles and ensuring that she is in fact publicly connected with whatever guy? Even though Olivia WAS a PRINCESS and she annoys the hell out of me, I never really thought she was one of those girls. But maybe she is.
