Justin Timberlake is literally jumping for joy in the cover photo of People magazine this week, an image that shows a moment from his wedding to Jessica Biel. In what looks more like an album cover than a loving wedding shot, Biel's dress is revealed for the first time as she sits pretty while her new husband appears to have a Tom Cruise on Oprah's couch moment.

After much speculation, it was revealed in a press release Wednesday that Biel chose Italian designer Giambattista Valli for her wedding gown. The strapless dress is made of silk mousseline and silk organza and features a light pink...

The shoes marry Sperry's classic silhouettes to Fidelity's melton wool peacoat fabric on the outside and diamond-quilted linings on the inside and details including anchor-detail buttons and rawhide laces.

Though you're probably familiar with Sperry's contributions to shipboard life (its distinctive white outsole was developed to provide deck traction without scuffs and marks) you might not know Fideli...

George Clooney was the night's honoree at the Carousel of Hope Ball in Los Angeles on Saturday night. And he was in such a good mood that Neil Diamond persuaded him to sing along on parts of "Sweet Caroline," despite Clooney's protests that he can't carry a note even though he's Rosemary Clooney's nephew. Meanwhile, his girlfriend, Stacy Keibler, looked stunning in a Monique Lhuillier gown. The event — one of the biggest on the city's fall social calendar — reportedly raised $2.5 million for the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes. [Society News L.A.]

Vogue has published an excerpt from creative director Grace Coddington's forthcoming memoir, and it looks as juicy as one could want. It tells of the flame-haired beauty's early modeling days in the late 1950s and early 1960s, a time of glamour, jet-setting, handsome (though feckless, of course) lovers and more. The downside: Models back then had to do their own hair and makeup. [Vogue]
