Maybe all the talk of longtime boyfriend Justin Timberlake double dipping in Olivia Munn's pond drove Jessica Biel out for some "me" time.
The 28-year old actress was photographed in Hawaii recently enjoying the waves and showing off her bikini body.
If those rumors about JT and Munn are true, Jessica isn't letting it affect her work at all. The "A-Team" actress has three films coming out this year. "The Tall Man" and "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" and "New Year's Eve" are all scheduled to hit theaters this year.
So what do you think, is Jessica still as hot as ever?

In what can only be described as a miracle, a mother is reunited with the daughter that was kidnapped 23 years ago.
On August 4, 1987, Joy White took her three week old baby, Carlina to a Harlem hospital because the baby was suffering from a very high temperature.
White went home to rest after the baby was admitted. When she came back the next day her daughter had vanished.
White hoped and prayed for the safe return of her daughter, but that didn't happen until over 2 decades later.
Carlena became suspicious of the woman raising her because she couldn't produce her birth certificate.
That suspicion led her to start searching the web for answers. She came across the website of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Digging further she found a story of a baby taken from a hospital 23 years ago.
Carlena called the center, who then alerted authorities. They, in turn decided there was enough evidence to investigate further.
January 4, 2011, Joy White got the phone call she had been waiting 23 years for. Carlena, who had been raised under a different name called her biological mom.
DNA tests were taken and at last Carlena had found her way home.
"I never gave up hope," Carlina White's grandmother, Elizabeth, told WABC. "It is like she has been around us all her life. She wasn't a stranger. She fit right in."
With mother and daughter reunited, the attention now turns to who kidnapped baby Carlena. Police are currently searching for the woman that raised her.
50 Cent has made so many shrewd business moves throughout his career, some tend to get overlooked.
Vibe magazine writer Chris Yuscavage put together a list of 50's "10 Smartest Business Decisions"
Let's take a look at how the G-Unit General has gotten filthy rich.
50 Cent Business Decision 1
The Decision: Spending the first $300,000 he made to trademark the "50 Cent" and "G-Unit" names
The Year: 2002
The Bottom Line: Just about every dime 50's made can be traced back to this decision. While most artists spend their advance on new cars, icy chains and the latest threads, Fif used part of his to trademark his name and his future label's name, which eventually helped him make money to buy all the cars, chains and clothes he could have ever imagined. New artists, take note: Before you do anything else, invest in yourself.
50 Cent Business Decision 2
The Decision: Starting G-Unit Records shortly after releasing his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin'
The Year: 2003
The Bottom Line: Thanks to the immense popularity that he enjoyed at the beginning of his career, 50 didn't have to wait to drop a few albums before Interscope gave him the chance to start his own label. And once they gave him the green light, he used it immediately—releasing a G-Unit album as well as albums from Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and The Game. That means Fif was filthy rich before his sophomore album, The Massacre, ever even dropped.
50 Cent Business Decision 3
The Decision: Teaming up with Mark Ecko to found the G-Unit Clothing Company
The Year: 2003
The Bottom Line: Once his music took off and his label was established, 50 immediately started using the G-Unit name to build a brand. That's when he flipped a deal to start a clothing company that—unlike other rapper-endorsed clothing companies—was tied to an established name thanks to Mark Ecko's involvement. Had he done the label without Ecko's backing, it probably wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful or profitable as it ended up being.
50 Cent Business Decision 4
The Decision: Signing a five-year deal with Reebok to create and distribute G-Unit Sneakers
The Year: 2003
The Bottom Line: Sure, Jay-Z had a deal with Reebok first. But regardless of how it actually went down, Fif signed a better sneaker deal than most NBA players get off the strength of just one album. Ballin'!
50 Cent Business Decision 5
The Decision: Agreeing to help peddle Vitaminwater for a company called Glaceau in exchange for part-ownership of it.
The Year: 2004
The Bottom Line: You want to talk about forward-thinking? The deal 50 struck with Vitaminwater is, quite possibly, the best deal any rapper has ever struck with a company. Back when he agreed to help push it in '04, no one could have possibly known that he'd one day sell his stake in it for $100 million (after taxes!) when Coa-Cola bought Vitaminwater for $4.1 billion. Except for Fif, of course.These are the deals that business honchos, not rappers, dream about—and 50 made it happen.
50 Cent Business Decision 6
The Decision: Eschewing the opportunity to do the voice of the lead character in the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas video game to instead provide the voice for his own character in the game, 50 Cent: Bulletproof
The Year: 2005
The Bottom Line: 50 could have very easily signed on to voice the GTA character and got a nice little check for his time. But instead of doing that, he turned down the GTA gig and lent his entire name to a project and walked out with way more zeros on the end of his check. Sorry, GTA, but that is what we call highway robbery.
50 Cent Business Decision 7
The Decision: Launching his G-Unit Books imprint at the Time Warner Building in New York City
The Year: 2007
The Bottom Line: After seeing the success that his autobiography, From Pieces To Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside, Queens, enjoyed, Fif decided he could probably flip books into paper. And that's exactly what he did when he took his G-Unit brand into the publishing world and put out a series of street-lit novels. Could a book about doing good business be too far off in the future?
50 Cent Business Decision 8
The Decision: Partnering with billionaire Patrice Motsepe in South Africa to brand his own line of platinum
The Year: 2008
The Bottom Line: Fif's bought his fair share of platinum chains over the years. But he went from rich to wealthy when he decided to partner up with Motsepe to buy a platinum mine for a different reason: to brand his own line of it. We're not sure how much dough he's actually seen off this decision, but still, it sounds like something you'd want to have on your resume if you're a rapper, right? Bling blaow!
50 Cent Business Decision 9
The Decision: Striking a deal with Right Guard to release his own "Pure 50" body spray
The Year: 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't sleep on body spray. From Axe to TAG, there's a big market for it out there. Especially from tweens and young adults looking to avoid paying top-dollar for actual cologne (but don't worry: Fif's got that, too!). So this is what money smells like, huh?
50 Cent Business Decision 10
The Decision: Establishing his own film company called Cheetah Vision and later landing more than $200 million in funding for it
The Year: 2008
The Bottom Line: 50 invested well at the start of his Hollywood career by starting G-Unit Films and later Cheetah Vision and he's reaped the financial rewards as a result of it. And it's definitely been another great look for him
So there you have it, 10 business moves that prove that when it comes to making business decisions, 50 Cent is a genius.
Chris Brown is stepping his rap game up as evidenced by the "Green Goblin" track where he goes toe to toe with Jae Millz. Still, not everybody is quite ready to let him spit with the big dogs.
Take his recent collaboration with Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes "Look At Me Now" for instance. Weezy was feeling the track so much he wanted it for his upcoming 'Carter IV' album, but he wasn't about to let Chris rap on the album according to Rolling Stone via Rap-Up.
“He ain’t sound bad. He’s spitting. But come on, man! Do you know how many rappers would be like, ‘I can’t get on Tha Carter IV, but this ni**a put Chris Brown on that bitch? Rapping?” Wayne said. “You can’t take a ni**a’s song and take him off of it. That’s saying a whole lot. That’s like telling him, ‘I think this shit is hotter without you,’” I would feel played if a ni**a did me that way.”
So instead of a C4 track "Look At Me Now" is the latest single from Breezy's upcoming "F.A.M.E." album.

"I called my husband and I said, 'Daddy they got me on youtube!'" Cathy Cruz Marrero aka "Fountain Girl"
A Pennsylvania woman who fell face first into a mall fountain because she was texting while walking wants to sue.
Cathy Cruz Romero has been laughed at now by an estimated 2 million people, who have seen the youtube video of her falling into the fountain at Berkshire Mall in Wyomissing, PA.
She's upset and wants someone to pay for her embarrassment.
"My issue is I don't think security was professional because they didn't send anyone to check on me until 20 minutes later and I had already left." she told The Reading Eagle. "Instead of laughing, they should have said, 'Is she OK?' and been down there right away to check on me."
In the video people can be heard laughing while narrating Romero's tumble. It's her assumption that it is mall security laughing at her expense.
"My boot hit the edge of the fountain and I fell over," she explained to WFMZ. "The next thing you know I'm seeing pennies and coins in front of my face. I [later] get called stating that I'm on youtube, and I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?' and my nephew is like, 'No you're on youtube.' I started crying and I called my husband, I call him daddy... I said 'Daddy they got me on youtube!' When I went to work and saw how they laughed and the comments that they made, I didn't think that was funny."
Her attorney, James M. Polyak said he plans to launch an investigation into what happened and how the mall security footage found it's way to youtube.
"We are troubled by the fact that anyone at the Berkshire Mall responsible for releasing this video would find humor in an employee injured on the premises," Polyak said. "We intend to hold the appropriate persons responsible."
What most people probably won't ever understand is why Marrero came forward in the first place. Her face is blurred in the video, it's highly unlikely anybody would ever known it was her.
Instead she's doing tv interviews, appearing on Good Morning America, etc. She has a simple answer for that.
"But I know it's me," she said.
Yep, and now the whole world knows it's you as well.

Lil Jon is looking at a huge IRS debt according to the Detroit News.
The 39-year old, born Jonathan Smith is said to owe the government at least half a million in unpaid federal taxes.
The government is already taking aggressive action to collect the money. In 2008 the IRS filed a $638,937 lien against his $1.9 million dollar Isle Of Palms, SC crib.
The house has since been foreclosed on.
The producer/rapper hasn't had a hit in a minute, but here's hoping he can get himself out of this current tax mess.

Actress Cameron Diaz stopped by Lopez Tonight yesterday and reminisced about her high school days in Long Beach, California.
The 38-year old Cuban stunner revealed she bought weed from Snoop Dogg when they were in high school together.
"Me and Snoop went to high school together... I remember him there. He was very tall and skinny and wore lots of pony tails in his head, and I'm pretty sure I bought weed from him." Diaz said.
Cameron's name is supposedly one of the most dangerous names to Google. According to Cameron, if you Google her name there is a 1 in 10 chance someone will steal your identity. (Don't say you weren't warned)
She and George talked about her new movie 'The Green Hornet' with Seth Rogan. She explains why the scent of skunk was always in the air when Seth was around.
Cameron then kicks off her heels, and helps George break sh*t by knocking golf balls around the studio.

In this era where females are fighting their way into the male dominated world of rap. June 5th is an exception; composed of three members, Tiffany Foxx, Brooke Holladay and Scar LaDon.
June 5th has the ideal components that have allotted them into the rap industry by means of no tribulations. Each lady has her own flare that sets her apart as an individual yet allows her to gel as a member of this dynamic group. Although the members of June 5th are establishing themselves as a force to be wrecked with, these beautiful ladies make it a priority to not take themselves too seriously as they make their way to the top. Currently under the direction of Debra Antney, the CEO of Mizay Entertainment, the ladies of June 5th are prone for enormous success!
The trio's new music video "Dollaz" features cameos from Waka Flocka, Wooh Da Kid & Frenchie of 1017 Brick Squad.
"Being in St. Louis we have seen artist break on a major level," states Brooke Holladay. "So we know that it takes hard work and strong drive, which we all have."
So what do yall think? Does June 5th have what it takes to make moves in the very open field of female hip hop?

Nicki Minaj made sure there would be a throng of fans waiting for her when she arrived in London this morning (January 19). The Young Money artist tweeted the details of her arrival in plenty of time for her fans to get there.
Nicki is in the UK to promote her 'Pink Friday' album.
So far the album has risen no higher that #34 on the UK charts and currently sits at # 55, which is still very good for her debut disc, but the Harajuku Barbie hopes to push the record further during her stay.
There's talk of a possible collaboration between Nicki and British pop star Jessie J.
Jessie told Rap-Up she would like to get do a remix with the pink princess.
“I’d love to have her on my ‘Do It Like a Dude’ [remix] for the U.S., but I like to let things happen organically. I think if she likes it, it’ll happen.”
That would probably be a good look for Nikki because the song is # 2 on the charts in the UK currently.

Nadya Suleman, better known as the Octomom has been photographed in the most bizarre shoot I've ever seen.
Dressed in a skin tight black corset, Suleman is seen whipping and bottle feeding a grown ass man wearing a diaper, baby bonnet and a bib.
The clown in the photos is a Los Angeles radio personality named Tattoo.
One would wonder how Suleman was convinced to do this outrageous shoot at her La Habra, Ca home. But then again she's got 14 kids to feed and her crib was close to being foreclosed on a couple weeks ago.
Suleman has been offered a job in porn by Vivid Entertainment Boss Steven Hirsch, but she's turned him down.
What's more degrading though, this or porn?
Fox News 411 Spoke To Orange County Social Services Agency Spokesperson Terry Lynn Fisher today them possibly investigating Suleman because of the pics.
“Allegations of abuse or neglect must rise to the legal level and descriptions of abuse or neglect,” Fisher told FOX411.com. “Having said that, all of our social workers take all child abuse reports very seriously and they respond appropriately within the parameters of the law.”
Sounds like Octomom might have gotten herself in trouble, but there weren't any kids around so it's doubtful her kids can be taken away.

What started out as a press conference to introduce new head coach Hue Jackson, turned into a bizarre mud slinging with hints of a sex scandal.
Oakland Raiders boss Al Davis has always been known as a maverick, he's moved his team from Oakland to Los Angeles then back again and fired a boatload of coaches.
Throughout it all Davis has managed to keep a firm grip on the team.
During the press conference yesterday, Davis let himself get off track by beginning to speak about issues he says led to the firing of coach Tom Cable after this seasons 8-8 record.
Davis said Cable was a wife beater, talked about the 2009 incident where Cable allegedly broke assistant coach Randy Hanson's jaw and hinted Cable was bringing freaks on the road with him when the Raiders traveled.
"He knew I could throw him out without any money," Davis said of ending Cable. "There's no way he can come clean on this. He knows what he did."
When asked why he didn't just fire cable during the season if he was causing all these problems Davis said: "We had a shot with five games to go to get in the playoffs. There's no telling how far we could have gone. "... With five games to go, we messed it up. Not necessarily on offense. We didn't play well enough on defense."
And then there is Davis' health. He looked like a very sick man sitting on stage. It's probably time for him to hang it up.
Move over Pharell Williams there's a new Skateboard P in town, as in Prodigy of Mobb Deep.

"It is very much an honor to do this board. Mobb Deep is a legendary group and my passion for music goes deeper than I can explain. This is one of many collaborations we aspire to do and I’m glad this first one is with such a classic group. It’s also unique and exciting that he didn’t just lend us his name and actually sat down and hand drew a graphic for us. I’d like to thank Prodigy and Havoc and everyone else working with us to make Selfish work."
“Since 1993, “The Infamous Mobb Deep” has supplied the world with our unique style of reality based hardcore Queens, New York hip hop music.
