UPDATE: You can read Joe Jonas’ side of the story here.

NOTE TO THE LADIES: If a man spends less than 30 seconds breaking up with you, it’s probably because he already has someone waiting in the wings.

Back in early October, Joe Jonas put an end to his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift. Despite several public outings, the 19-year-old eventually gave the country star the boot over the phone. Now it appears he might have had his eyes set on someone a little less blonde.

According to People magazine, Joe has been quietly dating 22-year-old Camilla Belle, the actress featured in the Jonas Brothers’ video for Lovebug. Although they supposedly didn’t start dating until after the shoot, was that before he officially broke up with Swift? Let’s do the math.

Joe supposedly dumped Taylor in early October. The official Lovebug video was released on October 19. Us Weekly claims the production took place back on September 19.

So did Jonas actually cheat on Swift, or did he regain his bachelor status prior to dating Camilla (which would then mean he didn’t have a mourning period at all)? Would either answer be less slimy?
