Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake married in Italy, but it didn't cost $6.5 million and they didn't have anything to do with an "unsavory" video made by friends. The Associated Press

In case you missed Justin Timberlake's apology Friday for a "silly, unsavory video" that shows homeless people offering wedding congrats to him and bride Jessica Biel, here's the open letter.

He explains he didn't know about the video or contribute to it, and it certainly wasn't shown at his wedding in Italy last week.

Timberlake calls the video "distasteful" and says he's deeply sorry to anyone offended by it. But he says that it was made by well-meaning friends.

The 19-second video is titled, "Greetings from your Hollywood friends who just couldn't make it." It shows three people who obviously don't know the famous couple greeting them with wedding wishes.

And, in other Timberlake tidbits:

Mrs. Timberlake announces she is, indeed, 'Mrs. Timberlake'

Jessica Biel told People magazine that she's taking her new hubby's name for her private life.

"My professional name will still be the same, but for life, yes, I think ('Jessica Timberlake') sounds great," she said. "I think I really won the jackpot of names."

Although not common, megastars do sometimes take up a married name -- for instance, Mrs. Danny Moder (that's Julia Roberts to you).

And while you're at the People site -- check out that perhaps unfortunate intrusion of Timberlake ex Britney Spears in the upper corner of the cover!

It did not either cost $6.5 million

E! News says a source tells it the price of the wedding was nowhere near the $6.5 million that's been rumored. Yes, it was at exclusive Italian resort Borgo Egnazia resort in Fasano, and yes the festivities spanned several days and included nice touches like fireworks. But it wasn't six mil, the source insists.

The same source debunked other juicy rumors:

Timberlake was not sick while exchanging vows with his now-wife.

None of the guests had to sign nondisclosure agreements, but rather confidentiality agreements. But hey, they received gift bags in their rooms with ocal olive oil, bread and wine.

The dress makes a trend official

Biel's pink wedding gown seals the deal, accoding to Huffington Post. The trend toward colored wedding gowns is a big deal. Anne Hathaway and Reese Witherspoon also wed in pink this year. See the photo gallery of pink, yellow and even green celeb wedding gowns.
