Justin Timberlake Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys and Jordan Knight of New Kids on The Block appeared on HuffPost Live today, discussed their new album collaboration and also responded to Joey Fatone’s accusation that the Backstreet Boys are on tour because “ they just need the money .” Carter said that he and Fatone have since cleared the air and even suggested *NSYNC could get back together without Justin Timberlake. On Joey Fatone’s comments: Carter: “I know Joey. He’s a sweetheart. He has a dry sense of humor. He’s one of those guys that tries to make a point and also backs it up with some humor. We talked afterwards and yes, I made my point and got that across and he understood it because at the end of the day, we are protective over what we do and our fans. And our fans are loyal to us and we are loyal to them.”

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER By: G. H. Harding **** John Goodman Bradley Cooper HANGOVER 3 – THE END --- We just caught a screening of the supposed last installment of The Hangover – Part III: I was excited to see this as the advance word has been most positive and I’m happy to report that it is indeed a return to the hijinks's of the first one. The second one, which found our Wolfpack stranded in Bangkok, was somewhat confusing. This time, they’re eventually back in Vegas, as the story begins with Galifianakis’s character of Alan facing some personal issues; the work here from Ken Jeong and first timer John Goodman – whose character (Marshall) was actually briefly referenced in the first one, is strong, strong, strong. John Goodman … what a career resurgence! I’ve always enjoyed his work (last year’s Argo) and here again, he’s just terrific. Jeong’s character, Leslie Chow, has emerged as just a force of nature and he again he does not disappoint in th...

**** NO FORGIVENESS FOR REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS **** Adrienne Maloof The cover story of the new issue of Us Weekly is all about The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Adrienne Maloof, and how she will never forgive castmate Brandi Glanville for revealing her surrogacy secret. “From the very beginning of the show,” Maloof told Us in December, “I set parameters and made it clear that my children would not be in the story line.” Suddenly, they were a major plot point. On the December 10 installment, the show’s resident troublemaker, Glanville, blurted out what her castmates called a “personal secret” about former friend Maloof that was mysteriously edited from the episode. What viewers didn’t hear: Glanville, 40, revealed that Maloof, 51, used a surrogate to have twins Christian and Colin, 6. When Kim Richards told Maloof about Glanville’s bombshell the day after taping, the reality star and then-husband Paul Nassif, 50, exploded. Behind the scenes...

Lance Bass No strings attached, indeed! Only two of Justin Timberlake's four former *NSYNC bandmates -- JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick -- scored invites to his Oct. 19 wedding to Jessica Biel, sources told Us Weekly . Lance Bass and Joey Fatone didn't make the cut. "Justin thought a reunion would overshadow the wedding," said one pal. "And Justin hates Lance now." Timberlake, 31, tied the knot with Biel, 30, in an ultra-exclusive ceremony in Southern Italy at the posh Borgo Egnazia resort. Although he was snubbed from receiving an invite, Bass, 33, recently shared with Us why he thinks Timberlake and Biel are the perfect couple. "I just love that she's a guy's gal," Bass said of the Total Recall actress on Oct. 9 at the 40th Anniversary American Music Awards nominations in Los Angeles. "She can get right in there and talk basketball, football and drink a beer with you, and that's what he needs....

**** STAR WEDDINGS **** Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel hit some speed bumps during their five-year road to the altar, but the couple looked happier than ever when they exchanged wedding vows in southern Italy the other day. The "LoveStoned" singer, 31, and the Valentine's Day actress, 30, tied the knot in front of 150 close friends and family at the Borgo Egnazia, a vast hotel complex surrounded by olive trees and cactus plants, multiple sources tell Us Weekly . The fairytale-like building is like an ancient fortress with whitewashed walls; the rooftops are dotted with turrets and chimneys and tiny windows. To mark the occasion, the entire hotel was decked out with white floral displays, per a source -- even the balconies facing the main courtyard were dressed with white blooms. When the couple were introduced as "man and wife" in the hotel's chapel at 7:30 p.m., attendees cheered loudly....

**** STAR WEDDINGS **** Justin Timberlake This party has officially started! Yesterday, husband-and-wife-to-be Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel hosted over 50 guests in Puglia, Italy for a pre-wedding beach party dinner, Us Weekly can report. Casually-clad revelers, including Timberlake's "D--k in a Box" costar Andy Samberg and music manger Johnny Wright, arrived at Cala Masciola beach on the Adriatic Sea around 8:30 p.m. Despite the brisk temperatures, the crowd enjoyed dinner and cocktails at the beachfront setting, which was decorated with lanterns; music played throughout the festivities, including Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." At about 9:30 p.m., the crowd was treated to an impressive, 10-minute fireworks display -- and about an hour later, the group returned to the exclusive resort where the nuptials are set to take place imminently. As Us Weekly revealed exclusively on Wednesday, the actress, 3...

**** INSIDE US WEEKLY **** The Us Weekly Cover The new issue of Us Weekly has all of the details how Bachelorette Emily Maynard’s relationship with fiancé, Jef Holm, went from fake to finished. Multiple sources confirm to Us the pair have officially ended their five-month engagement, but the decision was long in the making: Following Maynard’s sexting scandal in August that Us Weekly broke exclusively, the duo had agreed to keep the charade going in public. According to Holm’s former flame Kaylee Shepherd, Holm, 28, decided to keep quiet about Maynard’s indiscretion in exchange for half her Bachelorette salary. But after weeks of forced happy smiles, things got so bad that Maynard couldn’t even stomach a fake relationship. “Emily just decided that she’d had enough,” says one insider, who reveals the final breakup conversation took place after they attended a Carolina Panthers football game October 7. What led to the official split? For one, Holm had no p...

Jessica Biel Jessica Biel may have only just started to flash her engagement ring around town, but that doesn't mean the 31-year-old actress has kept her excitement about becoming Mrs. Justin Timberlake quiet. One of Biel's closest confidantes has been none other than her New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day film director Garry Marshall, who told Us Weekly he's spoken at length with Biel about her happy news. "We talk about it a lot. I hope it all works out -- they are terrific kids," Marshall told Us at Sunday's Night of 100 Stars Gala in Beverly Hills, Calif. of Biel and Timberlake. "I love them both. I'm happy for her." Getting engaged during a snowboarding trip in the Jackson, Wyoming mountains in December 2011, Biel and Timberlake plan to tie the knot next summer. "Monique Lhuillier is her No. 1 choice for the dress," the insider hints to Us of the beloved designer, whose dresses have been worn by such A-list brides as Reese...
