Jessica Biel has been spotted cozying up to Justin Timberlake all over Rome for the past week, but her trip isn't strictly a romantic getaway. Yesterday she joined her former 7th Heaven costars for a wedding rehearsal for Beverly Mitchell. Apparently Jessica will get to play bridesmaid to her former on-screen little sister, and it looks like a big reunion could be in the works.

There are constantly rumors of an upcoming engagement for Jess and JT, but for now she'll have to settle for having a hot date and letting her friend have the spotlight.
With Body of Lies out next weekend and Revolutionary Road getting Oscar buzz already, Leonardo DiCaprio has a busy Fall ahead of him. The quiet heartthrob took a moment to sit down with Parade to talk about his career, his family, and his revised views on marriage. His relationship with Bar Refaeli is still very off and on, but he sounds happy, calm, and in control of his career. Here are highlights:
On Titanic: "Titanic was a period of rebellion for me," he says. "I was very much portrayed in the press as a heartthrob. It wasn’t what I wanted to be. It was like a runaway train. This thing just took off. I didn’t understand what was happening to me. My instinctive reaction to this tabloid madness was to want to run away. . . I am proud to have been in Titanic," he says. "I’m grateful for the possibilities it’s given me. If it hadn’t been for that movie, I wouldn’t have been able to take control of my career. It was during that time that I started to think about things that meant more to the world than this glorified, superficial media exposure of me, something I never felt was justified."
On previously saying he doesn't believe in marriage: "No, I don’t agree with any of that. It sounds like the ignorance of youth to me. When did I say that? Three or four years ago? Hey, we grow up real fast. What I definitely feel a need for is to make my life about more than just my career," he continues. "Just last night I was thinking to myself how little of my life has been lived normally and not spent on some far-off movie location. I want to get married and have children. In saying that, I realize I am contradicting everything I’ve said before. I absolutely believe in marriage."
