Just days after confirming his breakup with Serrica Green, Justin Timberlake has apparently been spotted around town with Michelle Rondez. Close friends of the Rondez camp and associates of Timberlake's say the duo are pretty hot and heavy and have been for a while now. Does this imply Timberlake cheated on Green? Apparently so, but Timberlake and his reps are denying everything.

The alleged mistress twenty-six year old dancer Michelle Rondez recently danced with Britney Spears another one of Timberlake's ex gal-pals, and has danced with Nsync and Justin countless times in the past. Reports show Rondez does not have the best reputation when it comes to men and relationships, so talk is that this one will fizzle out quickly. For the time being Timberlake will probably ride, the groupie train to the bank and cash in while Serrica continues to take the high road and lay low.

Brown saw brown as Serrica studied her reflection in her large bathroom vanity. She had gained a few pounds surprisingly and had huge black bags under her once chocolate brown orbs. Her nose scrunched in disapproval as her body let out an involuntary sigh.

Taking her plastic ID card, Serrica split the mound of white powder into four separate lines. Carefully she held a red and white restaurant straw that had been split in half, up to the tip of her nose and began to inhale the white powder. Soon after finishing the last line, her nose started to trickle blood. Quickly she searched for a washcloth, after wetting it she had it to her nose.

The pain, the burning, the heartache, what made her life so bad that she had to suppress to this? She was always the strong girl that didn't need to count on anyone to survive. She was a survivor. Now she was addicted to something that Serrica Green would never touch. Who was the person she had become?

"Why don't you just call her man. I don't think she would shoot you down." JC confessed.

"Jace it's not that easy. She hates me, she told me she hates me."

"No she didn't Justin. She said you guys needed a break." Justin sighed shaking his head.

"How can I tell her I'm sorry and that I love her and only her when she won't listen," Justin put his head in his hands. "How can I tell her I love her when I'm involved with someone else?"

JC could not answer that question. He had never been faced with that type of situation.

"I don't know buddy. I wish I knew so I could tell you, but I just don't know," JC stood giving Justin a pat on the back, "but you're a smart guy with a good heart so I know you'll do the right thing."

Justin gave an uneasy smile. Did he ever do the right thing? The right thing, he was not even sure what that was anymore. It seemed as though the last year or so of his life he had been so screwed up that he did not even know if he was Justin anymore. The Justin he used to be would never hit a girl and on August 12, 2007 after arguing with Serrica he raised his hand and slapped her across the face. He definitely wasn't right anymore.
