Back during Golden Globes weekend, Jessica Biel kept showing up at various events, looking either gorgeous or tragic, and always flying solo and without an engagement ring. The rumors/reports/confirmations were flying heavily in the weeks preceding the Globes that Justin Timberlake had proposed to Jessica while they were vacationing in Wyoming. We could endless speculate as to WHY he proposed (to get her to STFU?) or why Jessica said yes (because that’s all she’s got going?), but that’s neither here nor there. I truly believe Jessica and Justin are engaged – his grandma said so, and I believe in Us Weekly’s reporting because they have a history of dealings with Biel’s publicist. So why wasn’t Jessica wearing an engagement ring? Was it because she doesn’t have a lot going on, and she just wants to draw out the speculation for as long as she can? Or is it because Justin cheaped out on a tiny diamond? Survey says…
“Bling it on!” That’s what Jessica Biel told Justin Timberlake after turning up her nose at his skimpy diamond engagement ring, sources say. Biel – who hit the Globes red carpet solo, and with a ringless finger – has ordered Justin to splurge on a new sparkler, where has Justin enlisting his mom’s help!
“When Justin proposed to Jessica, she was disappointed with his choice of ring,” said a source. “Jessica isn’t a fancy girl, but she wanted something stunning – a bigger diamond that would impress her friends. Instead, Justin went more minimal, thinking she’d prefer something less flashy.”
But Biel believes Justin will be her partner for life, and wants a diamond that reflects their lasting love, the insider divulged.
“Jessica told Justin that although she was moved by his proposal, she wanted a ring with more bling,” maintained the source. “He was very understanding, and told her that she deserves to have what she wants. To placate her, Justin has not only enlisted his mom for help with her ring, but he’s going to propose all over again.”
“Justin will tide Jessica over with a ring – one that she’s happy with.”
[From The Enquirer, print edition]
Is it wrong that I see Justin’s frame of mind with the whole “minimal” thing? That is how Jessica puts herself out there, like she’s too busy hiking to care about jewelry. That being said, Jesus, Justin. You have millions of dollars! Buy her a nice, big ring if you really want her to STFU.

I’m sorry, but I don’t believe a single word of this.
Not the engagement.
Not the ring story.
None of it.
Grandma or no grandma, she’d be wearing that ring if it were true.

I don’t either…and I’ve always felt that Justin and Jessica were just bearding for each other to some extent

Something does not add up with these two at all. I believe that Jessica is gay, though not certain about if he is. So, quite what he is getting from an ‘arrangement’ I really do not have a clue.

Jeez…if they have a miscommunication over size of bling, doesn’t speak well of their relationship.

Agreed – if only she’d had the foresight to pick out 3 engagement rings at Tiffany’s he could have chosen from, they could have avoided that awkward moment!
Or she’d still be a single woman living with 24 cats, eh Jennifer Love Hewitt?

No diamond of any size could make me like him.
I know someone who did this for real though – picked out the first ring even, then changed her mind and made the guy get a whole new one (bigger of course) and then a year or so later ended the engagement!

I always find it distasteful when a story boils down to “the size of the ring”. Yeah, he can afford it, but is it the size of the ring what it’s really about? That’s just so terribly shallow…

It pretty much confirms the depth of their love for one another; I mean, can you imagine looking into the eyes of a person you love and want to be with forever, and you would never want to hurt their feelings or make them feel small- and then you shake your head at the ring, and make them go get you a better one?! If it really happened, which it probably did, or she’d be flashing it everywhere, she’s a lemon and she deserves a loser like J.T.

Couldn’t disagree more. Believe it or not, there are women who got married without engagement rings.

Had no idea that the size of the rock was an indication of your ‘forever’ love. Thought that’s what the ring meant.

Was the ring as small as her career prospects?

Agree totally, Agnes. If all he is to her is an ATM, then their “love” isn’t worth much.

Actually, no. The same thing happened to me and I demanded a larger ring. I felt comfortable enough to tell my fiance (now husband) that I wanted a bigger diamond. Do I love him less for it, no! I’m happily married and my husband now knows my taste in jewellery! Sometimes men are stupid about small things like that!

Engagement rings are such a ridiculous waste of money. Skip the ring, donate the cash to charity (in this case – in regular situations pay off your credit card, or put a down payment on a house, buy an RRSP) and just get married if you feel like it.. Jesus..

Love this. I’m not engaged or anything but for my wedding (every girl thinks about it) I’m donating the money to charity and we’ll go to a courthouse and get the papers (assuming the guy’ll be okay with that). I like weddings, just not when it comes to me

Asli, you’re my FAVORITE! Everybody loves weddings-they’re fun and a wonderful thing to celebrate but it drives me crazy when people in their 30s who have been living together for 10-15 years throw a huge destination wedding and expect 100s and 100s of presents. Like seriously? You’re 35 and own a 600K condo in the city-you don’t need me to buy you a toaster and I KNOW you already have a cake pan! I understand the big wedding more for 20-somethings who will be buying a house together, just starting out etc etc. Myself-small wedding ceremony outdoors somewhere, nothing formal. Ring-don’t care. Preferably something unconventional that has meaning. Aesthetics are pretty much irrelevant. ***disclaimer: not trying to offend 30-somethings who had extravagant weddings, this is just Kitten’s opinion!***
Report this comment as spam or abuse
LOL, Kitten.
Yeah, people put too much meaning into the wedding instead of the actual marriage. Case in point, Kim K. As long as the guy and I are good to go, I couldn’t care less about a ceremony. The papers too – I know a couple who’d been together for 40 years and had two kids before they actually got married. It was two teachers and the guy proposed in front of the entire school. It was very romantic. I think they just went to a courthouse with their children, nothing fancy. Love small ceremonies! Bridezilla has pretty much turned me off to any kind of big bash. Crazy ladies!

Doesn’t sound believable this girl would be happy with a ring from a cracker jack box if it meant she could be Mrs. Timberlake. There’s another story going around that he proposed without a ring and that it wasn’t ready at the time.

I will NEVER understand his attraction. He looks like a scrawny kid to me (in fact, he may have rung up my groceries the other day, not sure..)
Seriously, if you walked past him in the street would you even look twice? I do not get it.

I think the conventional formula is “money + fame = attractive”.
But yes, I agree completely. He’s completely average (and if he packed your groceries, I hope he did a good job and didn’t crush the bread).

Cosign completely! I find him terribly unattractive, and the way he seems to treat his women adds to his lack of appeal. Yuck.

If my famous, obviously very rich “fiance” turned up with a “modest’ ring, I would be pissed off. She knows everyone thinks she is an idiot for being with this douche…if she settles for a cheap ring, she is basically telling the world she agrees with Justin, that she is worth very little to him and will settle for any scrap he throws her. She is smart to get the blingy ring. Plus, after they break up, she can sell it.

Justin said in an interview last year that Jessica is the single most important person in his life.

Sure she is thats why he left her to try to get together with Mila and when that didn’t work he went back to Jessica.
Mila had pictures of him on her cellphone and they are part of the hackers case so they do exist along with the sexting that was going between them. Smh at people believing his BS.

they’re just as bad as each other. But he’s a millionaire and he should have bought a big ring, at least to stop the rumours..

If this story is in any way true, it’s just another reason why these two should not even be NEAR each other any more.
They are about as out of sync as you can possibly imagine for a couple who has been together that long.
By saying he wants minimal, maybe Jessica thinks he isn’t “proud” enough of being with her. He doesn’t go to big events with her often like he did with Diaz, he doesn’t seem interested in confirming their status as a couple publicly, etc.
She wants all the reaffirmation – and she isn’t getting it. Why a woman that gorgeous is so insecure that she will put up with that is beyond me.
Run away – both of you – into the arms of totally different people before this ends badly…

The last person I want picking out my engagement ring, is his Mother.
If he is going to spend big money on the ring… then take Jessica to the jewelers and let her find the ring.
Rings are like shoes. It might be the right size… but can look totally heinous on you. You need to try it on first.

I don’t know why they’re back together, I don’t know why they are going to get married, they never made sense to me. BUT.
The girl needs a huge ring, so she can look at something beautiful, when her husband will cheat her with every avalable girl he can find out there.

Don’t most people talk about what they want in an engagement ring when the Talk comes up? It’s ridiculous if she did turn down the ring. It’s only what she’s wanted from the man for ages. She could always upgrade for an anniversary.

It’s pretty common to have a ring to present to the woman with the understanding that it’s a symbol-but that the option is there to go back to the jeweler and exchange it for a different one in the same general price range. After all, she’s the one who has to wear it; shouldn’t it be something she actually likes? And shallow or not, if my fiance were a millionaire, you bet I’d want something amazing and beautiful.
When my DH and got engaged, I kinda knew it was coming, so being practical, I just told him that there were certain styles of ring that I don’t like. Since I would have to wear this ring for the rest of my life, I wanted to be sure that it was something I actually wanted to wear. He took me out one day to just look at rings-not buy, just look. That gave him the opportunity to see what I did and didn’t like. We became engaged about 6 months later and my ring is perfect. 23 years later and I still love my it…

“Since I would have to wear this ring for the rest of my life, I wanted to be sure that it was something I actually wanted to wear.”
ITA. Spending a crap ton of money on a ring is stupid but it’s something you’re going to wear for, presumably, the rest of your life. You have to love it. When my husband and I got engaged, I didn’t have a ring for AGES. We both wanted to pick out the ring together and both love it. I was out shopping with my dad and saw the ring in the window and said, “that’s it!” I showed my husband when I got home and he loved it just as much so we bought it together. Marriage is a partnership and should be a partnership from the get go, not when you sign the paper.

And yet,even this story doesn’t make her interesting in the least.Both of them became more lame than watching paint dry as soon as it was known they were engaged. I guess he needs to appeal to the mini-van majority? I honestly can’t figure out why these 2 are together. It certainly ain’t love.

Yeah I’m not buying this. She would have accepted a ring from a gumball machine she wanted it so bad. If true this makes her sound superficial and materialistic.

I don’t know, Chloe. It’s almost like the female equivalent of “[insert male celeb name here] is gay”. C/B has been an education for me—apparently, in the mysterious world of celeb gossip every actor is gay and dating a *beard* and every actress is vapid, souless and materialistic or a conniving “Man Stealer”. *sigh*

well since he seems like such a perpetual cheater, i am actually on her side here, get a BIG ring, it’s not like the jobs are lining up, so she’s gotta get paid somehow for all the image boosting she’ll do as his easy breezy wife. and what better than mobile wealth?

That’s really distasteful. I mean just be happy he asked your pathethic ass. Snubbing your nose up at the ring because it’s too small? just proves you have your priorities all screwed up.
If it was really so bad she could have just gotten a large diamond wedding ring and eventually phased out the smaller engagement ring. Maybe I’m too much of a romantic but geez it’s the thought that counts. At least it was something he picked out. I’d rather that than some ring picked out by a saleswoman or in this case his mom.

I got married at 23, Hubby was 22. We paid for our own wedding, invited who we wanted, but kept it simple. Married without any debt, and got to have the wedding we wanted because no one’s parents were paying for it. My ring is pretty average sized-Hubby picked out something pretty and my style-and that was that. Maybe someday I will get an upgrade, maybe I wont-regardless, I know the size of the ring is in no way related to how much Hubby loves me!

From a practical standpoint collecting jewelry while married is an excellent way to provide for yourself if the marriage ever falls apart. Not necessarily applicable in JBs case but for women without a personal fortune to fall back on. It worries me to hear women say it is shallow and horrible to make jewelry a priority. No it is not the top priority – that is to make the marriage last forever. But IF it doesn’t you will be in much better position to take care of yourself (and your children) if you have ready cash. You can’t cash in love or a toaster or your idealism.
Hope for the best but plan for the worst- go for the jewelry!

IF this is true, then she probably thought she deserves a bigger ring since he’s a cocksman and she’ll have to put up with that. I always thought too that if he proposed with a plastic ring she’d jump at it. Who knows.

Many of your opinions would have validity if there were about regular people like you are me. But we are talking about multi[-millionairs. Does anyone remember the flack Jessica Simpsom got over her Ring? Famous people are expected to have big flashy rings. Some small would get a lot of negative press and speculation.

If the size of the diamond correlates to how long a marriage will last, she would have been better off with the smaller ring. I personally know many people who had huge rings and their marriages barely lasted 5 years, if that. Not that either one of them actually believes that their marriage (if it even happens) will last. It’s the best it’s going to be now. Just like a baby, marriage NEVER fixes anything.
