Engagement rumors are mounting, hitting celebrity power couple Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel.

It is reported that Justin has been spotted shopping for engagement rings at famous New York jewelery store Tiffany and Co., and is planning to propose to his actress girlfriend Biel.

“Justin was really taking his time looking round the rings. He made the staff get a couple out of the cabinets so he could properly look at them,” an onlooker revealed. “He didn’t buy anything but told the manager he would think about it.”

Justin and Biel have been romantically linked since early last year yet remained tight lipped whenever they’re asked about their relationship.

No words from the couple concerning the engagement report.

The couple then returns to England to face his disapproving parents (Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas). Stephan Elliot (Eye of the Beholder, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) will direct from a screenplay he wrote with Sheridan Jobbins. Alfred Hitchcock did the first film adaptation of Coward’s 1924 play for a 1928 silent movie. Pre-production on Elliot’s version is set to begin next week in London. Biel appeared in last summer’s I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, and she recently wrapped Powder Blue with Forest Whitaker and A Woman of No Importance with Annette Bening.

Justin Timberlake has commented on his relationship with Jessica Biel saying, “So far, so great!” Justin said this to Barbara Walters in a rare interview with the anchorwoman!

“Do you think it will last?” Barbara asked the singer.

Laughing, Timberlake said, “Well, I’ll work on that

On other fronts, Barbara asked,

“Rolling Stone called you the new King of Sex,” Walters said, adding: “Do you think you’re sexy?”

“I’ll hold on to the title for as long as I can!” Timberlake says. “Ya know, Brad, George, you guys may be the most beautiful whatever but… eat your heart out boys!”

I’m slowly becoming less of a fan of his. I can’t explain it really.
