Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel: Wedding Photos; Name Change; Wedding Video Apology
October 26, 2012 by Hollywoodite
Justin Timberlake’s wedding to Justin Timberlake, to which Jessica Biel was invited so long as she only spoke when spoken to, covered People Magazine. For which there are apparently two covers, the second of which is below and does not feature Timberlake pulling focus and making the moment about him, and there’s a cover of Australia’s WHO Magazine and scans from the UK’s Hello! who one can assume won the international right to the exclusive in addition to the North American rights for which People paid $300,000.
In related wedding news, Biel confirms she’s going to change her name in her personal life: “Yes, I’m changing my name. My professional name will still be the same, but for life, yes, I think it sounds great. I think I really won the jackpot of names.” She thinks “Jessica Timberlake” is the “jackpot of names”? Even Jessica Simpson said she wouldn’t change her surname because “Jessica Johnson” kinda sucks (she said it was a porn name) and she was right. How does Simpson have more insight than Biel?!?
And, lastly, Timberlake has grown up a little, only a little, since leaving Janet Jackson to face nipple-gate on her own. It was reported earlier this week, with video posted to Gawker.com, Timberlake’s friends’ wedding gift was an 8.5 minute video mocking the homeless, drug-addicted, and transsexual of Los Angeles. For which one man says he was paid $40 to read scripted lines on camera, but he was not told whose wedding the video was for.
Moreover, he felt duped. Told about the video (while out job-hunting), he told TMZ: “That makes me feel really bad… that was a trick played on me.”
Timberlake didn’t make the video but it was played by his friends at his wedding which makes him look bad. And he’s famous and, by extension, accountable (rightly or wrongly).
The singer/ actor says he’s “deeply sorry” for his “knucklehead” friends who made a “silly, unsavory” video. In a 700 (!!!) word open letter that crashed his website from the traffic, he cracked inappropriate jokes and explained “My friends are good people. This was clearly a lapse in judgment… but, I don’t believe it was made to be insensitive.” You can read the full letter here.
