This report has Star Magazine taking their own reporting as gospel. They claim that Rihanna and Justin Timberlake have rekindled their “fling” from this summer. Personally, I do believe that Rihanna and JT had something going on a few months ago, but I didn’t think it was very serious. It’s not like their relationship was established fact. In any case, Star’s sources, who are allegedly close friends with Rihanna, are saying that Rihanna has been dishing about her hot sex with JT.

“Rihanna and Justin are getting hot and heavy again,” her close friend confirms.

Justin pointedly kept his distance from Rihanna during an event at NYC’s Skylight on Dec. 8. But behind closed doors, it was on that night!

“Rihanna called a friend and said she had a sexy little secret to share. She was beating around the bush at first but then started laughing and said, “Don’t trip, but I hooked up with Justin,” says the pal. “She said it was really good, hot and wild, and that they have some of the best make-out sessions she’s ever experiences!”

That’s why she and Justin, 28, just can’t stay away from each other. After he decided to try to make things work with Jessica in the fall, “Rihanna had been giving him the cold shoulder, because the whole thing was embarrassing for her,” says the friend. “But he’s been calling her nonstop. He really wanted to hook up with her again.”

Finally, Rihanna relented. “Rihanna asked Justin what’s up with him and Jessica, and all he said was, ‘We’re having problems,’” the friend says.

And while Jessica definitely won’t be happy to hear it, Rihanna says it’s just for fun. She’s only out for the physical with him… And she got it!”

Is it weird that I think this is totally likely? I believe Rihanna and JT are hooking up before I believe the stuff about her and Jay-Z. That being said, I’ve never been able to imagine JT as a very sexual person. He seems like he would be rather gross in bed, like every girl’s kid brother, making dumb jokes and not knowing where the clitoris is (or what it does). So… yeah, I end up feeling for Rihanna. I want her to be with a guy who actually knows what he’s doing in bed.
