Does Ashlee Simpson have a New Man?!

Is newly single Ashlee Simpson already moving on?

A month after filing for divorce from rocker Pete Wentz, Ashlee was photographed at an L.A. mall with another musician, Craig Owens of the band D.R.U.G.S.

But a source close to the singer/actress says reports of a budding romance with Owens, 26, – who is signed to Wentz’s Decaydance Records – are just not true.

“Craig is a longtime friend and was comforting Ashlee during this difficult time,” the Simpson source tells PEOPLE. “She’s not moving on. There’s no race for a new relationship. They’re friends.”

Recent reports that Simpson, 26, and Wentz, 31, are gearing up for a custody battle are also untrue, according to the source. “Ashlee and Pete’s split is amicable and they’re working together to make this as positive a situation for [2-year-old son] Bronx as possible.”

“Right now her attention is on Bronx and some new work projects she has coming up. That’s it.”

So what does Wentz think of all this? 

A source close to the rocker reports: “The only thing on Pete’s mind right now is spending as much time with Bronx as he can before goes out on the road next week.”

Break Up Alert: Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have broken up, TMZ reports, citing a source close to the former couple. The break was mutual, the site reports, and they remain on good terms.

Biel and Timberlake have dated since 2007, though it’s been a rocky relationship at times. In late 2010, it was rumored that Timberlake had cheated with Olivia Munn; his rep soon denied it, but in January Life & Style reported that Timberlake told Munn, via text message, that his relationship “was over.”

There were rumors that the pair had split in 2009, too; Us Weekly reported that Biel was in denial, though again, they were soon spotted vacationing together in Napa and enjoying romantic meals.

In 2010, Biel spoke with Vogue, gushing about her private relationship with Timberlake.

“I don’t want to talk about it,” she said. “I don’t feel the need to clear anything up. It’s the most precious thing that I have in my life, and I care about it so much that I don’t care about what anyone says or thinks. I have just not addressed it in any real way, and I’m not going to. It’s mine. And I really like that about it.”

In addition to TMZ, Us Weekly now reports that this time, the split is for real.
