This is one birthday Justin Timberlake won’t soon forget.

Jessica Biel, 26, threw her singer beau a Super Bowl-themed surprise birthday party in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s ultra-exclusive penthouse on Sunday afternoon, PEOPLE has learned.

“Justin was totally blown away when he walked in. He had no idea,” says a source.

On hand were close to 100 friends and family of the couple, including both of their parents, Biel’s brothers, Timberlake’s cousins and his best friend Trace Ayala, who joined the happy pair to toast Timberlake turning 28.

The penthouse was transformed with flat-screen televisions brought in especially for the festivities, and the party feasted on gourmet buffalo wings, pizza, mini sliders and red velvet cupcakes.

Biel planned the party down to every last detail, and visited the hotel to make sure everything would be just perfect, says the source.

And she was the perfect hostess. Wearing a little black cotton dress and flats, Biel worked the room while taking breaks to sit with Timberlake.

“They held hands and relaxed,” says a guest. “They seemed very happy together.”

If those much-rumored wedding bells are really right around the corner for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, the couple seems content to keep the news under wraps for now.

Last month, Timberlake’s fellow ‘N Sync alum, Lance Bass, added to the nuptial speculation, saying, “I definitely see them getting married pretty soon.”

But when reporters recently asked the “SexyBack” singer about possible plans, Timberlake simply dismissed the query as “a dumb question.”

For her part, Biel’s just as mysterious as her main man. In an interview with the British edition of Marie Claire, the actress refused to commit to any marriage specifics.

“I feel like, if it’s an organic way for me and the right time in my life, then, yeah,” she said. “If it’s right, it’ll be right — but, at this moment, that seems completely foreign.”

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel made a rare appearance together Saturday at a Las Vegas rally for Barack Obama.

Timberlake performed an off-the-cuff riff, singing “Vote in a Box,” a spoof of his infamous raunchy Saturday Night Live sketch, a campaign source tells Usmagazine.com.

“Me and Jess, we’re here as Americans. We’re here as humans because this is something we had to do,” Timberlake told the crowd at the Clark County Government Center amphitheater, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

He added, “We’ve never publicly endorsed before. But we’ve never been so inspired by one person.”

(A source tells Us that Timberlake’s mother, Lynn, helped him write his opening remarks.)

Noting that the next president’s Supreme Court appointments could determine the future of legal abortions, Biel told the crowd, “Nobody should be able to say what you can do with your body.”

Joked Timberlake, “I give Jess the right to choose where we go to eat all the time. The funny thing is, what the woman chooses is usually right.”

“Brownie points for you,” Biel kidded back.

Teased Timberlake, “I know where my bread is buttered.”

Felice Garcia, a 21-year-old college student who attended the rally, told the Review-Journal she was impressed Timberlake took time out to attend the rally.

“I really respect him for that,” she said. “He obviously cares about this.”

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are the real deal.

“I think he finally met somebody that he wants to spend the rest of his life,” Timberlake’s long time friend Joey Fatone told Usmagazine.com at the Brother Jimmy’s restaurant opening in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sunday.

When asked if an engagement was the cards for the lovebirds, Fatone said, “You never know, but I don’t know if it’s the appropriate time right now.”

Fatone added “You know what, I think he is just playing it by ear. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.”

Fatone will have a chance to catch up with Timberlake, 27, when Biel’s former 7th Heaven co-star gets hitched to her fiance Michael Camero.

“We’ve all known Beverly for a long time so we got invited,” Fatone told Us.

According to the L.A. Times, the ceremony will take place in Italy in October and Biel is a bridesmaid.

Biel, 26, is no rush to tie the knot.

“The actual idea of signing those papers and doing all this stuff … I’ve never been someone who’s like, ‘I have to, have to, have to have it,” Biel has said.

Meanwhile, also on hand was former NSYNC member Lance Bass who will appear on season 7 of Dancing with the Stars.

“I’ve been rehearsing for a couple weeks now,” Bass told Us. “We have to learn two dances for the first week. We go live Sept 22.”

And he’s already seeing results: “In the two weeks, I’ve already lost five pounds.”

As for his biggest competition, Bass (who is paired up with Lacey Schwimmer) says, “I haven’t seen anyone yet, but I am assuming Toni Braxton will be really good. I think she is the front runner right now.”

Bass also had good news about his friend Christina Applegate who chose to have both of her breasts removed after one was found to contain cancerous lumps.

“She is fully recovered. They got rid of it all,” Bass tells Us.

Justin Timberlake’s BFF (and business partner) Trace Ayala doesn’t expect the singer and Jessica Biel to walk down the aisle anytime soon.

Asked if he sees wedding bells in their future, he said, “I hope so. To be honest, I don’t see them in the future, but I hope so. I really do.”

He spoke to reporters Wednesday at the Hollywood premiere of Timberlake’s new comedy The Love Guru about what makes their relationship work.

“It is not just her, it is also him when he is with her — it is awesome,” he said. “They are just awesome together. She is just a great girl.”

Ayala said he and his girlfriend, actress Joanna Garcia, occasionally double date with the celeb couple “when we have time.”

Ayala’s tip for a successful relationship?

“For us, it is very important that both people have their own thing going on,” he said, “and that there is a lot of time for yourself. ”

Added Garcia, “He is the most romantic guy on the planet. I will come home and there will be a bouquet of flowers, and he’ll force me to eat this fantastic bowl of pasta. It is so wonderful.”
