Jessica Biel makes her first appearance since becoming Mrs. Timberlake

Jessica Biel makes her first appearance since becoming Mrs. Timberlake

Jessica Biel (Splash News)Here comes the bride!

Two days after saying "I do" to Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel was spotted walking around the grounds at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Fasano, Italy, on Sunday. Dressed casually in a wide-neck white shirt and black skinny pants, Biel had her bangs pulled back and her hair in a loose ponytail. She smiled broadly as she strolled and flashed her massive six-carat engagement ring.

Biel's new husband was photographed a day earlier. Also dressed casually, Timberlake was seen wearing his wedding ring for the first time.

The duo will be sharing photos of their October 19 wedding in this week's issue of People magazine, which already has a tease online. "It was magical," Timberlake, 31, called the star-studded affair, which cost an estimated $6.5 million. "It was an unforgettable evening."

The blushing bride shared a similar sentiment. "It was a fantasy," Biel, 30, told People.

On Sunday night, Timberlake and Biel were seen at an airport in Italy — headed to their top-secret honeymoon destination. Both wearing hats in an attempt to fly under the radar, Biel was rolling her carry-on suitcase while Timberlake walked in front of her.

Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael wants judge to grant conservatorship over her

Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael wants judge to grant conservatorship over her

Lindsay and Michael. (WireImage/Getty Images)Michael Lohan has seen how well a conservatorship worked for Britney Spears and now he wants the same for his own famous daughter, troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan. Except in this case, two children and millions of dollars is not at stake. The fame-hungry father tells TMZ he will meet with lawyers this week to put into place a conservatorship that will force Lindsay into rehab. But as opposed to the Spears case, he does not want to be the one in charge … so people won’t accuse him of going through the process only to get his daughter’s money.

According to the report, Michael also wants the conservator to convince his ex-wife Dina that the entire Lohan family – including their three other children Michael Jr., Aliana, and Cody – needs extensive therapy. He says that Dina has long-refused the help, and that’s a major contributor to Lindsay’s issues. Perhaps Michael forgot about his own violent past with his ex and his children – but his kids haven’t. Ali, an aspiring model, told her father via TMZ, "Please stop waging your own personal war against my family. We don't need you to intervene because we can take care of ourselves without you, as we have been all these years." Michael’s youngest son, Cody, added, “I have no good memories of my so-called father.  He has never been part of my life, he needs to leave my family alone."

Lindsay, 26, doesn’t seem too worried that her estranged father, who attempted an intervention on Friday before she called police, will convince a judge she needs a conservatorship. "They would have a hard time believing the claims of someone who was investigated for insider trading, arrested for domestic violence multiple times, arrested for assault, has a drunk driving arrest, and has been in and out of jail and prison for years,” the “Liz & Dick” actress told TMZ.

This is not the first time Michael has tried to gain a conservatorship of his daughter. In September 2010, he met with an attorney to file the proper papers – but he never got the chance to take control because Lindsay went into rehab (for a fifth time) right after she failed a court-ordered drug test, just weeks after leaving treatment.

But it’s not all bad news for Lindsay. On Monday, it was announced that she will not be charged with hit-and-run after she allegedly struck a man while driving up to the Dream Hotel in New York City just after midnight on September 19. Although the actress was arrested for the incident, prosecutors felt that surveillance video did not serve as enough evidence that contact was actually made with the pedestrian.

Brutal brawl in ‘non-contact’ Canadian youth hockey league could land coach a lifetime ban

As reported by CBC Sports, Canoe and a variety of other Canadian news outlets, a tense matchup between the Chicoutimi Cougars and Jonquiere Pumas midget teams devolved into a nasty benches clearing brawl on Saturday night with approximately 10 seconds remaining in the contest. Among the disturbing aspects of the fight that have since been illuminated by the official referees report is a claim that a Chicoutimi player was actually punched in the head by the Jonquiere head coach after the aforementioned player hopped over the bench and moved toward the Pumas coaching staff.

"We're talking about a man in his forties doing something like that to a 16-year-old," said Cougars head coach Eric Gagne told Canoe. "For me raising your hand to a player of that age is wrong."

More disturbingly, the player attacked has allegedly suffered nine different concussions in the past, which is why he was participating in the non-contact league as opposed to another youth hockey league.

The attack on a Chicoutimi player was hardly the only disturbing event perpetrated by Jonquiere players and coaches during the brawl, which began when a Jonquiere player was apparently inadvertently pushed by a linesman. Teammates of the player in question reacted angrily, tackling the official with one player grabbing him by the head and slamming him to the ice.

The Quebec Ice Hockey Federation handed down suspensions of a length to be determined to two unspecified coaches and three different players following the brawl. Yet those suspensions may just be the tip of the iceberg for Jonquière coach André Harvey, who could be brought up on criminal charges by the father of the player whom he punched, according to CBC.

"If you aren't capable of restraining yourself under situations like that, you shouldn't have anything to do with young people," Jean Côté, the father of the player who was attacked told the Canadian network.

First Blood Turns 30 Rambo’s original dark

First Blood Turns 30 Rambos original dark end

Thirty years ago Monday, "First Blood" hit movie screens, introducing audiences to John Rambo, the embattled Vietnam veteran played on screen by Sylvester Stallone. The movie was an enormous hit, earning $125 million worldwide on just a $14 million budget. The violent, R-rated action thriller spawned three sequels, video games, and, improbably, an animated series for kids. And it established Stallone as a major Hollywood star outside of his "Rocky" series. But none of that might have happened if they had stuck with the original ending for the movie where Rambo didn't survive.

In the theatrical version, Rambo is cornered in a police station. He has his gun aimed at Teasle (Brian Dennehy), the sheriff who pushed Rambo to lash out in violence. But then his old commanding officer Trautman (Richard Crenna) orders him to stop.  Rambo breaks down, telling Trautman how Vietnam scarred him and that he can't find a place in the civilian world. Then he gives himself up, and the film ends with him being taken away by the police.

That ending was changed after test audiences rejected the much darker original ending.  The first scripted and filmed ending saw the trapped Rambo pleading with Trautman to kill him.  Rambo says, "I can't spend the rest of my life in a cell. If I've got to die, I want you to do it."  Trautman flinches, but Rambo insists: "You trained me. You made me. You kill me. You owe me that." Rambo places a pistol in Trautman's hand. He tries to aim away, but Rambo pulls the gun towards him and it goes off.  It ends with Trautman walking away as Rambo dies alone. You can see the original ending in the deleted scenes in the "Rambo - The Complete Collection" DVD and Blu-ray set.

The ending where Rambo survived was actually Stallone's idea. He had co-written the screenplay, and in the middle of shooting felt that audiences might feel too sympathetic to Rambo to want to see him die.  He insisted that they film both versions during production, and when the audience at a test screening objected to the death scene, the other ending was switched in.

Just getting "First Blood" to the screen was a challenge unto itself. It took more than a decade to adapt David Morrell's 1972 novel into a movie.  Many huge stars were considered for the lead role of John Rambo, including Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro, and Clint Eastwood.  Kirk Douglas was originally cast as Trautman, and he told Movieline that is was his idea for the character to kill Rambo at the end. But he dropped out and was replaced by Crenna at the last moment.

"First Blood" gave Stallone his second blockbuster hit of 1982, coming only five months after the enormous success of "Rocky III." But it helped establish him as a true action star, not just a guy in boxing trunks.  Stallone followed "First Blood" with two even more successful sequels in the '80s, then returned to the character after a 20 year break with 2008's "Rambo."

Stallone had originally stated that he might be up for a fifth film, but in 2010 he told Empire Magazine, "I think Rambo's pretty well done. I don't think there'll be any more. I'm about 99 per cent sure." That doesn't mean he's packed up his guns, though. His last film, "The Expendables 2," made $290 million worldwide this past summer, and there's already talk about a third.

And who knows? They couldn't kill Rambo thirty years ago, so you should never count him out.

Taylor Swift Hosts 'Red' Listening Party in New York

    Taylor Swift Hosts 'Red' Listening Party in New York

On the evening of the release of her fourth album, Red, Taylor Swift pit-stopped at Manhattan's Skylight West to celebrate her partnership with Target for an exclusive deluxe edition that features three bonus studio cuts, two original demos and an acoustic version of album opener "State of Grace."

Throngs of select teenage fans and corporate types mulled about the red-and-white hued space inspecting a dozen booths of Swift's "favorite things," including a candy buffet, photo stations and a CoverGirl makeup bar. Attendees convened at the lip of the main stage in anticipation of the country-pop princess' arrival listening to Red jams, including the sprightly "22" and the Nashville-cured "All Too Well."

Following a brief introduction from TV personality Ross Matthews, the milk-voiced star emerged to greet fans who traveled from as far as Australia and Arizona. Sporting a sharp black cocktail dress and a severe fringe, Swift explained that she settled on the title for Red – which is saturated in tales from the romantic brink, including lead single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" – because it captures the breadth of feelings she experienced during the two years she recorded it.

"Red, to me, is symbolic of really bold emotions, whether they be love emotions or hurt, anger, frustration, jealousy emotions. On either side, you're feeling the most intense amount of emotion," explained Swift, who wrote 30 to 35 songs for the project. "So these are really intense emotions for my songs, and I thought that would be the perfect title for it. I went to my record label and I was like, 'I want to call my album Red.' They shook their heads and said, 'Target's going to love this.' And here we are!"

In the spirit of corporate cozying, Swift fielded questions from Twitter followers, including "What's the one word to describe how you're feeling today?" (Answer: "mystified.") The 22-year-old bopped along to the crunch-pop anthem "Girl at Home" and shed some insight into one of her patented John Doe breakup ballads, "The Moment I Knew."

"That song is about the worst birthday party I ever had," she said. "My boyfriend just decided not to show up. And then we broke up. That's the story! It's going to be fine, I'll be OK."

Referring to songwriting as her at-home therapy, the bubbly blonde waxed melancholy with the bonus track "Come Back . . . Be Here," a lesson in failing to take your own romantic advice. "It's a song I wrote about a guy that I met, and then you meet someone and then they kind of have to go away, and it's long distance all of a sudden," says Swift, who bemoans her intercontinental fling on the mid-tempo cut. "You're like, come back! Be here! It's something I face constantly."

With upcoming appearances on The View and The Late Show with David Letterman, Swift capped the evening with a moment of gratitude. "I didn't think I had a shot at this," she admitted. "But the thing about a song is that it's a little message in a bottle, and you write something and you send it out into the world and maybe, someday, the person that you wrote that about, the person that you feel that about, might hear it. It's kind of romantic."
