Justin Timberlake's producer and close friend Timbaland has scotched rumors Timberlake is ready to wed girlfriend Cameron Diaz, insisting the couple aren't even engaged.

The Charlie's Angels beauty, 33, fuelled speculation she is set to wed long-term boyfriend Timberlake, 25, after being snapped with a ring on her wedding finger earlier this month.

But Timbaland, 35, has talked to his protégé about his plans for the future and insists Timberlake is too focused on his new album and fledgling acting career to consider settling down.

He says, "We talk about marriage but decided we want to focus on our careers a little more before we get settled."
