LOS ANGELES, CA  [Monday Jun.18.2007]  /WMQT.com/ -- Justin Timberlake has said goodbye to girlfriend Jessica Biel, at least for the time being, reports Teenmusic.com.

The "What Goes Around" star says he wanted to stay focused during his current tour, and a "sweetheart" just didn't fit into the picture.

Timberlake said, "She truly insisted that she came with me on tour. I don't know how to say no to a pretty face. But it wasn't really a good idea. This time I'm putting the machine before everything else."

"Jessica met up with me in Manchester, England, but for Paris I told her categorically no. This tour is very important to me. I'm doing it really seriously so there's no question of playing sweethearts."
