Jessica Biel is “using” Gerard Butler to win back Justin Timberlake, reports Star magazine.

According to a tabloid “insider,” Biel is hanging out with her Playing the Field co-star not because she enjoys his company, but because “she’s hoping her blatant flirting with him with catch Justin’s attention.”

“Jessica would never get into a real relationship with a playboy like Gerard,” explains another supposed “source,” but “she figured that seeing her with a guy like him would make Justin jealous.”

Hmm…

Sounds like the mag is simply trying to cover themselves after recently wrongly reporting the two were “getting close.”

As Gossip Cop has told you from day one, Biel and Butler are NOT romantically involved.

They’re just friends who hang out without any dramatic ulterior motives involving exes.

A source close to Biel confirms to us that the tab’s latest story is NOT true.
