23With all the attention being paid to custom motorcycle builder Jesse James and his troubled marriage to Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock, it might be easy to assume all the other celebrity bikers are managing to stay out of the headlines.

Not so, at least according to the gossip columns.

A quick review of last week’s In Touch magazine, the very same that exposed the affair between James and his tattoo model, brings other celebrities into the world of motorcycles and relationships. From a famous name who sung his way to the top, to the talent who created many of the chart-topping songs heard on the radio, the stories from the gossip magazine rode into the two-wheeled world.

Although no surprise to many, Justin Timberlake is reportedly working hard to put the ‘bad-boy’ in front of his biker moniker. In Touch magazine (bought entirely for research purposes in the James/Bullock reporting) reveals Timberlake ‘flirting shamelessly’ with a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas while his girlfriend of three years, Jessica Biel was attending a documentary’s premiere in New York City.

24For those not keeping up their celebrity biker scorecards, Justin Timberlake was last photographed saddling up on a custom cruiser at Italian restaurant Cafe Med in Los Angeles in August 2009. Considered a superstar, Timberlake's first two albums made him one of the most commercially successful singers in the world, each selling in excess of 9 million copies which doesn't even include the 55 million albums sold during his time with 'N Sync.

With California having a mandatory helmet law, at the time Timberlake wore a mirrored half-helmet and jeans with a turned up cuff worn in the best motorcycle rebel fashion. Speaking of which, in a stroke of self-promotion he reportedly wore a jacket from his fashion label, William Rast.

And the readers who still have their celebrity scorecards at hand, a new name can be jotted down.

While covering the latest décor of her home and newly revealed husband, In Touch reported that American Idol judge and songwriter Kara DioGuardi (pictured right) enjoys spending time on the back of a motorcycle. Reportedly, husband of nine months Mike McCuddy is a motorcycle enthusiast riding a GSX R with Kara sporting a full faced helmet on the back.

While it can be fun to enjoy In Touch Magazine as a resource, if not a little embarrassing for a hardened motorcycle reporter, it does have to be noted that the publication has had Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie splitting up for nearly two years.

The celebrity couple, and certainly a favorite famous biker of this publication, Brad and Angelina are usually in the final throes of breaking up on a weekly basis according to In Touch Magazine.
