People has a startling expose about the end of Justin and Cameron’s relationship. Ok, it’s not startling and we’re just trying to keep your interest on a Friday afternoon when all you can think of is the barroom. But this relationship ended fairly quietly. No one even had the decency to set clothing on fire or throw stereo equipment out a window. We were severely cheated.

Although Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz announced on Thursday that they had ended their romantic relationship, signs of the split had been evident for weeks, PEOPLE reports in its latest issue.

During Monday’s kickoff of Timberlake’s 36-date FutureSex/LoveShow tour, the singer said midway through the show, “Sometimes love isn’t so easy,” giving the crowd a clue in to his personal life.

That sounds like so much canned stage patter, but whatevs.

There’s more after the jump, including how Justin has been spending his time since the breakup! Hint: it involves vagina! Not his.

The pair were last seen out together Dec. 16 in New York City celebrating Timberlake’s appearance on Saturday Night Live. The singer, 25, then flew home to Tennessee for the holidays while Diaz, 34, stayed in L.A. and then skied in Vail, Colo.

Diaz was also noticeably absent from the Jan. 3 premiere of Timberlake’s movie Alpha Dog. Instead, he brought his mom as his date – and was spotted engaging in cozy conversation with Scarlett Johansson, who recently filmed a video for one of Timberlake’s new songs, at a party afterwards.

“He called me around Christmas to say they had broken up,” a pal of Timberlake’s told PEOPLE. “They’re not talking to each other because things are a little awkward.”

A source close to the couple said part of the problem was: “I don’t think she’s so much into the scene like he is. He’s really young and he likes to go out. (He) hasn’t been into her for awhile.”

During his New York City visit with Diaz in December, Timberlake was spotted partying with two blonde models. At Christmas, he spent time in Memphis with ex-girlfriend Veronica Finn. (Finn, a Florida-based real estate agent, says he’s just “an old friend.”)

But don’t expect fireworks, says Timberlake’s pal. “They were laid-back together, so it’s not going to be an ugly breakup. This is just them realizing it was time to move on.”

I have this theory that it was Timbaland that broke them up. They’re awfully close in that “My Love” video, and if there was ever a celebrity who looked more like a prison bitch than JT, well I don’t know one.
