Jessica Biel is Changing Her Name

Jessica Timberlake has a nice ring to it – at least that’s what Jessica Biel has decided! According to People, the newly married actress will take her husband’s name when it comes to her personal life.

“Yes, I’m changing my name,” Jessica explained. “My professional name will still be the same, but for life, yes, I think it sounds great. I think I really won the jackpot of names.”

Jessica, 30, walked down the aisle to Justin Timberlake in Italy on October 19. Her wedding dress was a “whimsical” pink strapless gown by Giambattista Valli Haute Couture – something much different from other celeb wedding gowns this year (Natalie Portman, Blake Lively, Anne Hathaway, Amber Tamblyn).

I guess this means Jessica’s officially not going to name her future child Batmo Biel. “If I got a dollar every time someone told me to name my future kid “Batmo” I’d almost have enough to pay for therapy for a kid named Batmo,” she tweeted earlier this month.

Stars rarely change the way they’re credited on screen; Courtney Cox, who changed her on-screen credit to Courtney Cox Arquette during her time on Friends, is one of few in recent memory.

What do you think of “Jessica Timberlake”? It’s unfair – both of Jessica’s names are perfect!
