While her relationship with pop star Justin Timberlake continues to heat up, Jessica Biel took a break from her new man by partying with friends and her brother at the opening of the Ivy Hotel in San Diego on Friday night (August 24).

The group kicked off the evening by heading over to a poker table. “At first, Jessica kept saying she didn’t want to play poker,” a hotel insider told E! Online. “She kept saying she was too intimidated because there were a lot of pros at the table.”

Jessica Biel knows how to spice up a party.

The actress treated her guests with some shirtless cabana boys, who were serving her and about 100 others at a baby shower she threw for her producing partner, Michelle Purple, at the LG House in Malibu.

"It was a Mexican-themed soiree with tacos and quesadillas, all served by shirtless cabana boys," the New York Daily News quoted an insider, as saying.

And they weren’t the only boys showing some skin to Biel and company, for the guests were entertained by two male strippers as well.

“There were two, and they were plain-clothed, so no one knew they were strippers. Then all of a sudden, stripper music came on, and they started taking off their clothes,” a guest said.

The guest further said Biel, wearing a green and brown bikini under a white sundress, was described as "the perfect hostess."

The 25-year-old actress, who is currently dating Justin Timberlake, "loves" the former 'Friends' star and wishes they were friends.

Jessica told Cosmopolitan magazine: "I understand being sexy, men love you, that's great. But what's really important is that women want to hang out with you.

"That's what I love about Jennifer Aniston - I watch her films and I think I love her. I really want to be her friend! I want to play those roles so women will think that about me too. It's about not taking yourself too seriously.

"My latest thing is that I want to do everything that scares me."

The 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry' actress also says she is tired of being linked to every man she is seen with.

Jessica moaned: "No matter where I go or who I see, we get linked together.

All of a sudden I'm dating someone I might have known for 10 years - or even my cousin!"
