After reaching the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, Jessica Biel has set her sights on a new challenge -- a little mountain called Everest.
"I would love to trek to an Everest base camp," the actress, 28, told UsMagazine.com at the premiere of Summit on the Summit, a 90-minute documentary about a crew who climbed 19,340 feet to raise awareness about the global clean water crisis, in New York City Wednesday.

Although she says the Everest trek is her "next goal," it's actually less intense than her six-day trek with fellow actors and musicians in January because the point she hopes to reach stands at 17,000 feet -- 2,000 less than the summit of Kilimanjaro.
"I feel like I could handle that a lot better for a longer period of time, so that’s my next expedition," she tells Us.

The hardest part about these climbs, she says, wasn't the physical challenges.
"It was really mental," she says of her Kilimanjaro climb. The key, she adds, is "to not let your brain play a trick on you -- to keep motivated -- to keep inspired even when you're feeling nauseous and your head hurts and you're uncomfortable thinking, 'What am I doing here? This is crazy? This is really, really hard!'"
So, has she been able to show off her physical fitness gains during joint training sessions with beau Justin Timberlake?

"No," she tells Us, laughing. "We really enjoy our workouts... It's not a competition."
She says their personal trainer, Jason Walsh, "is amazing" and "does such a good job keeping us motivated."

11Who gives a ratz azz about this s.k.a.n.k??
Um... Jessica sweetheart..??? I hate to break this to you little girl but you can't climb Mount Everest in designer clothes and 3 inch slingbacks!!! I STILL think you're a man-stealing whore ala Scarlett Johansson and Gisele Bunchen but I have to admit that IS a good picture of you... the nicest I've seen in a while! Don't let that go to your head though!!!I STILL don't like you not that I ever did!!!
I'm not impressed with her. I doubt she'd do anything to even break a nail much less climb a mountain. She'll probably just get up there and have someone take a picture of her in front of one.
I wasn't very impressed with her Kilimanjaro climb. My father and sisters and I did that climb (as do 1000's of tourists to that area). We were just kids and my dad was an old man. Easy climb. Of course.. how "easy" it is depends on the rate of ascent. I've never been on Everest but I have a feeling the climb she has in mind is another easy one. A nature trail climb. REAL mountain climbing is when you pull yourself up ledges via ropes and spikes. But hey! I'm just a party pooper.
I don't see what's so great about Justin Timberlake. I remember when he was that frizzed hair kid on Disney and now all these women think he's so hot.
I've never seen what the fuss is over this woman. She may have a nice figure but I've seen better in stars. Plus she's just not as attractive as she's made out to be. I see just no stunning beauty. I enjoyed her on the family show she did on tv years ago but why did she turn and want to be sleazy like the rest of these chicks?
Maybe she'll fall off mt everest. I'm sick of her. I see no appeal.
Anyone remember Sandy Pittman. It takes more than one summit on Kilamanjaro to be ready for Everest. She's just gonna be up there endangering other more experienced and more accomplished climbers, possibly killing herself along with others that will most likely be carrying her down from the mountain.
Like that Dress but not on her, and she has learn to hide her manly parts of her body, but you still can see it. She is not feminine enough for that Dress!
Her mouth is traumatic ugly and strange! She should stop to pimp her lips it looks more horrible as her mouth already is!
She is so stupid, she should better never talk so much. She is like a Magan Fox just uglier.
