Tom Cruise, who plans to wed Katie Holmes this weekend in Italy, has arrived with an entourage of 10 people in Rome.

The actor and company were spotted arriving in a private jet at the Ciampino Airport outside Rome at 11:30 a.m. local time. The group was then driven to their hotel under police escort.

Cruise, 44, and Holmes, 27, will tie the knot in a 17th-century castle in Italy on Nov. 18, Italian designer Valentino said on Thursday at the Condé Nast-sponsored Black Ball in New York City.

The couple's other designer pal, Giorgio Armani, is designing the clothes for the black-tie nuptials, including Cruise's tuxedo, Holmes's dress, as well as the duds for the bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Having a wedding in Italy seems the perfect fit for the couple, who made their first public appearance together in spring 2005 in Rome, where Cruise was in town for the David di Donatello Awards.

At the time, a giddy Cruise told reporters about Holmes: "She is an extraordinary woman."

Justin Timberlake is working on Duran Duran's new album, along with superproducer Timbaland, who created recent smash hits for both Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, the British band said.

"We've got some good stuff happening," said lead singer Simon LeBon. "We've done three tracks with Timbaland; we've collaborated in a writing and production manner on one of those tracks with Justin Timberlake. We've got a lot really hot producers who are hotly interested in working with us at the moment. We are in a very good space."

Duran Duran, who had its biggest hits in the '80s with such songs as "Rio" and "The Reflex," was in New York last Tuesday to perform at Cipriani's at a benefit for the AIDS research organization AmFar. The night also featured an auction, led by Sharon Stone, of luxury items.

The performance was without one of its founding members: Guitarist Andy Taylor left the group late last month.

Bassist Josh Taylor likened the split to a divorce. He said, "There were many strong differences of feeling within the band for some time now."

However, he said, Taylor's departure has been "empowering, quite freeing" for Duran Duran.

"We've been playing over the last few weeks around Europe and in the States, and we're just putting it into the music," he said.

Jude Law and Sienna Miller have finally split for good, a source close to the pair reveals.

"It's a mutual decision," a pal of the actor says of ending the roller-coaster romance. "They have definitely come to the end of the road. They tried to make it work but it failed."

Reps for both Miller and Law refused to comment on the private lives of their clients.

Law, 33, and Miller, 24, were engaged to be married in 2004 but Miller broke off the relationship after his affair with his children's nanny, Daisy Wright, was exposed the following year.

Law was divorced from his actress wife Sadie Frost in late 2003 and the couple have four children. The actor's closeness to his children and by default to Frost has caused tension in his relationship with Miller. "There isn't another person involved but it isn't helped by Jude's devotion to his kids," says the pal.

"He and Sadie have a very friendly relationship for the sake of the kids but they are not getting back together," the pal adds. "It's pretty amazing seeing how calm it is for the kids with them but they are definitely not an item again."

New York-born Miller met Law on the set of Alfie, the movie in which he seduced her onscreen. Romance flourished offscreen and the pair was engaged on Christmas Day 2004. But just months later, Wright went public with intimate details of the torrid affair she had with the actor while he was filming All The King's Men in Louisiana.

After the revelation of the affair, Miller called off their union and Law issued an apology. After months apart the couple gingerly made another go of it.

"It was one of those can't live with them, can't live without them," an insider said when they first started dating again. Around the same time Miller was linked to new James Bond Daniel Craig but the reports were never substantiated.

Prior to acting, Miller was a model and once appeared nude in a famed Pirelli calendar, but was recently embroiled in controversy in Pittsburgh after insulting the city in an interview with while filming there. She later apologized to its citizens.

Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and her boyfriend, record producer Chris Ivery, are engaged.

Ivery proposed to Pompeo on Friday, her 37th birthday, after breakfast at home. "She was surprised and thrilled," the actress's rep confirmed in a statement. Ivery presented Pompeo with a 3.5-carat emerald-cut diamond in a platinum setting from jewelry designer Tacori.

Gambling-addicted police officer Nick Cavanaugh is a multifaceted character – a hero with a dark past and some serious issues. Tim Daly, who plays him on ABC's hostage thriller The Nine (Wednesdays, 10 p.m. ET), is no less complex. The New York City native is bouncing back with a hit after two failed series (2001's The Fugitive and last year's blinked-and-you-missed-it Eyes). And at 50, and after 24 years of marriage, he's still just as charming as when he first made it big in the '90s sitcom Wings. We recently caught up with Daly for the scoop on The Nine, the secret to a long Hollywood match ("Don't get divorced!") and more.

When are we going to find out what happened in the bank?
Relatively quickly. What happened in the bank is secondary to the characters and what they're going through. The meat and potatoes is the character drama, and the spice is this mystery.

How would you handle yourself in a hostage situation?
I'm right on the thin red line. I could either become a total coward and huddle in a corner, or I could be a hero. I'm not sure.

Do you stay cool under pressure?
For the most part I think I'm okay under pressure. Sometimes the things that irk me are very trivial. I'll lose my cool because I can't find my keys, which is embarrassing and stupid.

Does that happen often?
That was a bad example 'cause I never lose my keys. [But] when I see people litter, it drives me insane. It drives me into a blind rage and I totally lose my cool.

You turned 50 this year. How are you dealing with it?
You know, two years ago people would say, "How old are you?" I'd say "48" and they would say, "Wow, you look fantastic!" Now when people ask how old I am, and I say 50, they're like, "You're 50? You're disgusting! Get away from me. Don't touch my kids!" People ask me how I'm dealing with it [but] I'm fine. For some reason, people act as though I've told them I have some horrible venereal disease.

How do you stay looking so good?
I work out. I guess I'm sort of a genetic freak.

You've been married for 24 years (to actress Amy Von Nostrand). What is your secret to a successful marriage?
I would say the first rule of thumb is don't get divorced! That'll keep you together. A lot of hard work and tolerance and understanding.

Less than a month after Brody Jenner said that he and Lauren Conrad were "seeing each other," the two have split up.

"We're not together anymore," Jenner told a source on Thursday at the launch party for the new furniture collection at Minotti in Los Angeles.

Conrad's rep, Nicole Perez, had no comment.

Nicole Kidman made a visit to hubby Keith Urban at the Betty Ford Center yesterday morning in Rancho Mirage, CA.
