Jessica Biel

It seems that stories of families disliking the significant others of stars are the norm these days, what with Lindsay Lohan’s former relationship with Sam Ronson and Rihanna’s problems with Chris Brown. But Justin Timberlake’s family is said to genuinely like his girlfriend Jessica Biel. Jessica and Justin’s mom were photographed shopping at Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs in New York City last weekend like long-time gal pals.

Biel is busy with her new gig as Revlon’s Goodwill Ambassador. Her first assignment was taking part in last week’s New York City Run/Walk for Women. She is also in talks to be in an ensemble movie called Valentine’s Day to be directed by Garry Marshall. The all star cast includes Julia Roberts playing an army officer on leave from Iraq, and Ashton Kutcher, who proposes to his girlfriend played by Jessica Alba, even though he is in love with his best friend played by Jennifer Garner. Shirley MacLaine is set to play the mother of Julia Roberts’ character, and Anne Hathaway is being considered for the part of a talent agency assistant who dates a mailroom worker. The mailroom worker is yet to be cast.

In the movie, Biel would play “a publicists who is unlucky in love,” according to Entertainment Weekly.
