Here are photos of the two leads from last night’s NYC premiere of Friends With Benefits. Mila Kunis wore this sleek red Lanvin number that I’m kind of meh on. Yes, she looks great in red, and yes, the dress fits like a glove and it flatters everything it should flatter. Sometimes everything can be working technically and it can still be underwhelming. I think my problem might be that it’s too “standard issue starlet”. Emmanuelle Chriqui wore a little red dress too – which tells you all you need to know about “little red dresses.”

Justin looked nice, I have to say, and he and Mila looked handsy and friendly on the red carpet. I’m actually starting to wonder if JT hasn’t gotten his dirty mitts on Mila. It’s been established that Mila was making him beg for it, but… I kind of think she may have given in. I hope he doesn’t start treating her like crap, like he did with Jessica Biel.

Speaking of Biel, one of the writers of Friends With Benefits dished on how Biel was originally up for Mila’s part. Oh… NO.

Writers of Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis’ new movie, “Friends With Benefits,” last night revealed that his ex, Jessica Biel, once tested for the role. David Newman told us at last night’s Cinema Society screening, “She was actually a huge fan of the project and screen-tested for it years ago.”

Asked why Jessica, who split with Justin in March, didn’t get it, Newman said, “We’re not the director,” adding, “She’s great and adorable — smoking hot.” But he said, “Mila was fated for the role.”

On rumors of an on-set hookup between Justin and Mila, co-writer Keith Merryman said, “They have such amazing chemistry, everyone is questioning what is going on. Is it art? Is it life?”

Well… yet more evidence of why it sucks to be Jessica Biel. She got Butler’d and then she went back to Timberlake and now it looks like he’s either hooking up with Mila or he’s just ignoring Biel because he and Mila need to sell their “chemistry” to sell the movie. Poor Biel.
