This article from OK! Magazine is so ridiculous, I’m just praying it’s 100% true. So, you know how Jennifer Garner and Jessica Biel are now, like, totally best friends for, like, ever and ever? Yeah. And to cinch the deal, Jennifer Garner began giving Jessica Biel advice on her Biel’s relationship with Justin Timberlake, at least according to OK! Magazine. Garner’s advice? “Stop being so clingy.” Oh, snap! Doesn’t Garner know that “clingy” is Biel’s only game? Clingy is Biel’s mating call. It’s her sole move!
So, “stop being so clingy” isn’t in and of itself a horrible piece of advice, especially if we’re talking about Jessica Biel here. But OK continues to list all of the pieces of advice Garner gave, and some of it sounding very familiar:
Jennifer Garner is helping Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake get their romance back on track. When Jessica told Jen she was having problems getting Justin to commit, “Jen advised her to back off and stop being so clingy,” a source tells OK!.
The Valentine’s Day co-stars have become fast friends in recent months.
“She even came up with a ‘relationship cheat sheet,’ including ways Jessica could spice things up and play hard to get at the same time,” the source says of Jen’s advice to Jessica.
Justin and Jessica have endured a stormy relationship — one that he has come close to ending several times.
“Jen told Jess to calm things down, and remind Justin what attracted her to him in the first place.”
Among Jen’s Tips:
• Play hard to get by being less available.
• Limit phone calls when they’re apart.
• Stop quizzing him about other women.
• Give each other sexy massages.
• Play nice with his guy friends and his family.It seems the advice is working!
“Jessica and Justin are in a much better place,” says the source.

These are from The Rules, right? “Don‘t be yourself” and “Be more mysterious” et cetera. I actually looked up the “top ten rules” and I think Garner missed some, like “pause in between sentences (you don’t babble on out of nervousness) and listen (attentively).” But the most important rule? “When a relationship doesn’t work out, you brush away a tear so that it doesn’t smudge your makeup and you move on!” Note that, Jessica! Do. Not. Cling. Especially when the relationship is pretty much over, save for the monthly clingy photo-op.
Just one added note – are these the “rules” Jennifer Garner adheres too? Or is this the kind of bullsh-t only single women need to do?

she should tell Jessica what worked for her: get preggers then he has to commit!
did jen get all that great advice from her sex therapist?
Garner looks too thin. And this thing with the “rules” is b*llsh*t. as meryl streep once said: i am married for not having to play those stupid games. If hes into you, you wont need this.
my experience, too. real man dont want to play games.
Why does she persist in acting as if she’s still in high school? A fully grown woman with two kids who got pregnant out of wedlock mainly to snag a man more successful than she is is too old ot be acting this way.
I think most married women would not need to do it, but I think Jen does because she needs to keep Ben interested, because otherwise he gets bored with her. That’s how their relationship seems to me anyways.
That was an interesting quote from Streep and true of real men. Just finished reading her biography and apparently after she lost her fiance John to cancer and was kicked out of their apartment by an ex-girlfriend whose name was on the deed, Meryl moved into her brother’s best friend Donald Gummer’s apartment while he went to Europe with his dancer girlfriend. 6 months later, Meryl and Gummer were married. Apparently he had always loved her and was happy to start a family with her in her plan to have kids.
Both these dresses need to be burned. Putrid dresses! And these girls look like soccer moms at the prom.
@3, 4 and 5 –
Gullibles, Jen didn’t and wouldn’t say that. It sounds like someone with a very small brain who isn’t married might have said – do we know where Paris Hilton is?
These days, no man has to be forced into marriage because he’s gotten his girlfriend pregs. K-fed alone would have to be polygamous. So if Ben married Jen, it had to be for something other than she was pregnant. And if he’s screwing around, that’s his personality fault, not hers.
I thought Jen looked like she’d put on a few pounds in this dress. At least now, her head’s bigger than her waist.
Jen ought to pipe down on doling relationship-manipulating advice. She shlepps around looking like an out-of-work auto mechanic (I’m sure she thinks it’s very “Cambridge Collegiate” of her -but she’s nearly a couple decades too old for it) while “good” ol Ben’s dry humping (and more no doubt) other women. Yep, she’s a fine one to advise others (phhhlllt).
“these girls look like soccer moms at the prom.”
They’re adult women, not girls. Pity they don’t act like it.
jen looks like a frightening DRAG QUEEN in that first photo… her makeup is way too dark.
Really?! Jennifer Garner giving someone relationship advice? That’s rich. I’d sooner ask Dr. Laura for child rearing lessons! We know how her kid turned out.
I have some advice for Jennifer. Lay off the lip fillers, it’s not cute.
Haha I love how they are so BFFs now.
They are both boring……….and both their “men” are on to other things. And they are starting to look alike. Look forward to some refreshing looks in Hollywood……these two are stale.
LOVE the rules – they TOTALLY work.
omg kiki so funny!
is there some lesbo thing going around??
Wow! Amazing how many of the commenters totally swallowed up this story! If it’s in print, it MUST be true, right?
God, there are enough teeth and gums between the two of them to help out Arkansas.
i dont get it why this is a bad thing….whether this story is true or not, it doesn’t sound like ‘rules’ nonsense….the advice she supposedly gave doesnt sound that bad. give your boyfriend some space, and have a life of your own. sounds pretty healthy to me.
and i love their dresses!!! just, you know, not on them.
@Lauena: That’s not fair to say dear. it can be a friendship too!
