Justin Timberlake to Jessica Biel: Happy BAE-DAY!!!

Just in case you needed another reason to fall in love with Justin Timberlake…



The wildly talented and beloved artist paid tribute to wife Jessica Biel on Instagram yesterday, sharing the above photo in honor of the actress’ 34th birthday.


Timberlake then wrote the following as an affiliated caption to the sweet snapshot:


Happy BAE-DAY, baby!! I can’t put into words what you mean to me… You are the GREATEST Mommy and Wife a man could ever ask for. I love you to the MOON AND BACK!!! –Your Huz


Okay. Your Huz is pretty lame.


But the rest of the message just made us swoon out loud.


Timberlake and Biel are a rather reclusive couple by Hollywood standards, but they did cuddle it up big time on the red carpet of a couple Academy Award after-parties late last month.


Justin also shared new baby photos of the pair’s son Silas a few weeks ago… and we’re yet to recover from that attack of cuteness overload.


Way back in 2011, this is what Timberlake told Vanity Fair about Biel:


“She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life.


“In my 30 years, she is the most special person.… I don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me – for instance, her.”


Seriously… come on, JT.


You cannot be this cool, this talented, this humble AND this romantic. It’s just not fair.


Tony Dyson Dies; Star Wars Special Effects Guru Was 68

Tony Dyson – the designer and technician best known for building the original R2-D2 robot used in the first Star Wars film – has passed away at the age of 68.

According to TMZ, Dyson recently attended a convention in Holland, then promptly flew back to his home in Malta, where he seems to have died in his sleep.


His girlfriend contacted police after several failed attempts to reach Dyson.


In addition to his work on Star Wars, Dyson designed robotics and effects for several other films, including Superman II, Moonraker and Dragonslayer.


Dyson was the owner of the White Horse Toy Company and he built robots for several of the world’s largest toy and theme park companies, including Disney, Sony, and Toshiba.


He won an Emmy for his work and spent the last years of his life working as a professor, teaching the art and science of robotics to a new generation.


But of course, it’s the beloved R2-D2 for which Dyson remains best known.


Working from a design from Ralph McQuarrie, Dyson built four remote control units – two to serve as high-tech costumes for actor Kenny Baker, and two throw-away versions to be used in the famous scene in which the droid is spit out of a swamp.


Baker described his work on the film as “one of the most exciting periods of my life.”


No cause of death has been determined, and though police have ruled out foul play, an autopsy will be conducted this week.
