For the second time in two months, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel decided to throw caution -- and saliva -- to the wind by tangling tongues in public. The typically discretion-minded squeezes hit the opening of Los Angeles hot spot The Kress on Friday night and proceeded to make out, according to E! News. The vest-sporting chart-topper and the peasant-bloused starlet arrived on the scene shortly before midnight and parked themselves in a reserved cabana on the roof deck with some pals, who we're guessing did their best to avert their eyes as the pair "repeatedly" puckered up. Also likely looking in another direction was Biel's ex, "Fantastic Four" eye candy Chris Evans. "They didn't interact," relays a spy. "Chris just wandered around by himself, looking for a table to sit at." Justin and Jessica exited the club hand-in-hand a couple hours later, looking unusually chipper as they faced a crush of paparazzi and, oddly enough, a wiener-wielding bystander, who apparently tried to hand them a couple of hot dogs before they zoomed off into the night.

Tony makes sure Jessica's backfield is still in motion Saturday in Lake Tahoe.

In other uvula-polishing news, it appears Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo have worked through their issues and are now making up for lost touchy-feely time. Not only did the New York Post recently spy them at the Key Club in Los Angeles making out "against a wall," but they were also feeling frisky while taking in the power chord-heavy song stylings of Journey at a concert in Lake Tahoe on Saturday night. People says the rumor-plagued lovebirds snuggled up during "Open Arms," with the cue-taking quarterback getting behind the starlet, who was clad in a cleavage-strained minidress, and wrapping his own arms around her. Simpson's sartorial selection was equally eye-catching earlier in the day, when she donned a look-at-me white sundress accessorized with an orange belt and matching clodhoppers to shout encouragement to Romo as he played in a celebrity golf tournament. (Also lending support was Jessica's swelling sister Ashlee and her newly minted hubby, Pete Wentz.) Alas, Jessica's cheerleading, as usual, didn't do Tony a heckuva lot of good. The AP reports he lost his balance on the first hole and fell butt-first into a pond.

From the "we've got a bad feeling about this" department come worrisome ring whispers from the tabloids. First up is Milo Ventimiglia, 31, who In Touch claims is looking to lock down 18-year-old Hayden Panettiere, his "Heroes" co-star and honey of a little less than a year. "Milo was looking at rings in late June," a "pal" alleges to the mag. "He really likes Cartier and intends to spend around $200,000." In April, the actor denied he was shacking up with the whale-saving starlet, although he seems to be growing more comfortable with public displays of possessiveness. At a fashion soiree last month, he was snapped using Hayden's posterior as a hand rest. Panettiere isn't the only underage blonde being hit with bridal rumors. Star claims Hilary Duff, 20, may soon receive a sparkler from her NHL beau Mike Comrie, 27. "His relationship with Hilary is so good that he wants to propose," a source opines to the tab. "To make sure she doesn't find out, he goes shopping with a friend, and they pretend the friend is looking for a ring. They've already checked out Tiffany and Cartier." Despite the possibility that Comrie may, in fact, just be helping his pal look for a ring, the magazine posits that he may pop the question when the toothy popster hits the big 2-1 in September. On the plus side, if a betrothal happens (and that's a honkin' big if), at least Duff would be legally able to toast to it with champagne.

Michael Bublé is probably getting an earful from his mother right about now. Just a few months after the Canadian crooner's mom told People that she'd "kill him" if he didn't marry live-in girlfriend Emily Blunt, they've put a fork in their three-year romance. "Michael and Emily are no longer together as a couple," Bublé's rep tells E! News, "but they remain friends." At least the newly single actress has someone to commiserate with. She was spotted out in London last week with her "Devil Wears Prada" co-star-cum-pal Anne Hathaway, who is also back on the market after splitting with her shady and currently incarcerated ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri.

In other breakup news, Anthony Kiedis has called it quits with girlfriend Heather Christie after three age-mismatched years and one child together, reports People (son Everly Bear was born in October). "Anthony is a great dad and I will love him forever for giving me the gift of life," Christie, 22, tells the mag of the Red Hot Chili Pepper, 45, before adding ominously, "I really hope he finds what he's looking for." Kiedis was snapped over the weekend cuddling Everly as they made their way through security at LAX.

Reese and Jake cool down after getting bendy together at yoga class.

Reese Witherspoon is making the most out of Jake Gyllenhaal's relocation to London for the production of "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time." Last week, the be-bobbed Oscar winner was spotted taking in the city's Tate Modern museum with tots Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4, and over the weekend, they headed to Paris with the lately shaggy-haired actor. While the button-cute quartet enjoyed family-friendly outings in the City of Light, Reese's ex-husband Ryan Phillippe was cracking a rarely seen smile as he and girlfriend Abbie Cornish yukked it up at funnyman Ricky Gervais' one-man show in Los Angeles Friday night, reports OK!. "They are so the perfect couple," a conclusion-jumping eyewitness tells the mag. "They looked like they've been together forever. Really relaxed and naturally affectionate."

Has Ron Wood proved a) there's no fool like an old fool and b) you're never too old to have a midlife crisis? The London Sun says the ramshackle Rolling Stone guitarist, 61, has reportedly put his 23-year marriage to wife Jo in jeopardy after a dewy Russian cocktail waitress caught his eye at a "seedy" nightclub. Wood supposedly just spent several days at his home in Ireland with a 20-year-old brunette named Ekaterina, who may be serving as his artistic muse (he's also a painter). "Jo has been through the mill," a source sighs to the paper. "She thought he was only drinking buddies with the girl and she was hanging around him for free drinks." Also upset is Ekaterina's former flame. "He started inviting her to Ireland. She also modeled for his paintings and he told her she would get a cut if any of them sold. I was a bit jealous -- I couldn't really compete," reveals the jilted suitor (via the London Sunday Mirror). "You never think you are going to lose your gorgeous girlfriend to a wrinkly old man, but that's exactly what happened." Still, Ekaterina's mother insists she's a good girl, telling the Sun, "There is nothing between them. She is posing for him -- nothing more."
