This is Jessica Biel leaving the William Rast show yesterday. As many know, the William Rast label was started by Justin Timberlake and his best friend Trace Ayala, and Biel just had to show up to support her man (re: mark her territory). Lainey at Lainey Gossip said the funniest thing about Biel’s appearance: “Of course clingy Biel wouldn’t miss this opportunity to tag along on his star. Check her out, leaving his apartment this afternoon, freshly blown out, very dressed up, almost too much for William Rast, fronting like she’s regal and elegant Michelle Obama styles. The wife of the Pipsqueak.” While I love Biel’s coat, she’s not wearing it correctly. She’s got it all bunched up and it makes her look hunchbacked. Gross. She doesn’t deserve that coat. She needs to give it to me.

Anyway, “clingy” Biel got her attention, and she got a little something extra: the public support of Justin’s mom Lynn. Lynn told People Magazine all about how much she loves Biel and how Biel is “one of us.” Which is a line from a horror movie, right? Children of the Corn? I just looked it up… it’s from the horror classic Freaks. Awesome. But there’s method to Lynn’s madness – she wants more from Biel than just visits from the “grand puppies”. She wants grandchildren, dammit!

It was a family affair at Justin Timberlake’s William Rast fashion show on Wednesday: The singer’s parents Lynn and Paul Harless sat in the front row next to his girlfriend Jessica Biel, whom Lynn calls “one of us.”

“She’s amazing. She’s so down-to-earth and her family is great,” says Lynn, adding that her son and Biel click because “they’re both very funny and creative.”

Not to mention thoughtful. “They’re always trying to out ‘special’ each other,” says Lynn. “They’re pretty openly affectionate.”

Timberlake’s longtime friend and Tennman Records artist Matt Morris and Vogue editor Anna Wintour also watched from the front row as models showcased the fall 2010 collection, which Timberlake and best friend Trace Ayala created to convey a “nomadic discoverer,” says Timberlake, 29. “The landscape of the Midwest was really the prominent theme that we kept coming back to,” he also said. “It was really inspiring.”

During the show, which was sponsored by Sony, Biel, 27, often leaned over to whisper to a friend in the seat next to her about the different looks. Models donned military-inspired coats and foxtail-covered shoes. “Tonight is my first time seeing the whole collection,” Biel told PEOPLE.

No surprise considering the actress’s active schedule. Along with promoting her new film Valentine’s Day, she climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro last month to raise awareness and funds for the global water crisis.

Mom Wants Grandchildren
“She was at my house around Christmas and there was this crazy noise coming from my gym,” says Lynn. No, it wasn’t Santa.

“To get ready for the climb, [Jessica] had the treadmill to the highest level and was running with a 40-lb. backpack,” says Lynn, adding with a laugh: “I want to be her when I grow up.”

So, is Biel “The One” for her son? “You should ask him. I’ve thought that before,” Lynn says with her fingers crossed. “They’re young. They have plenty of time.”

Just don’t wait too long, Justin. Mom is eager for tiny Timberlakes.

“I’ve had friends who have grandchildren and I’ve tried to express to him that I’m losing that race!” she says. “But I have grandpuppies. Justin has two boxers and she has a pitbull who’s now part of the family. I said I’ll leave you alone about the grandkids as long as you leave the puppies with me.”

Aw, that was actually a really sweet interview. Lynn sounds like she genuinely likes Biel. But isn’t it strange that Justin never really says anything even remotely as sweet as this? Still, I’m back to buying that Jessica and Justin are together for real, although I do think they probably broke up for a little while last fall/winter. But she clings so well, and he didn’t have the energy to dump her for real. That’s how I interpret this.
