Dear Gossips,
Fo shizz! Fo shizz!
There were a lot of celebrities in Vegas last night for the grand opening of the Fontainebleau. It’s been the biggest story on the Strip this month and the property does look gorgeous. But my question about Fontainebleau for years has been…if they insist on pronouncing it “fountain-blue”, why don’t they just spell it that way.
Several of the Kardashian-Jenners were there, also Cher, Lenny Kravitz, Sylvester Stallone, Annitta, Tyga, Keith Urban…and Justin Timberlake was reportedly paid $6 million for a one-hour performance. Here he is on the casino floor with Jessica Biel and Tom Brady.

And here’s JT during his set, going from “Holy Grail” into… “Cry Me a River”…

…and we all know the history of that song and how it plays, particular how it plays NOW, in the year of Britney Spears The Woman in Me 2023 but, sure, the universe just needed to remind us that for white men like Justin Timberlake the worst that can happen is a few minutes of humiliation. This is why I wrote a few weeks ago that “fo shizz, fo shizz” will really be the only relief we can hold onto. So I will post it as often as I can.

But remember when JT said that Vegas residences “feel like planning your retirement”? That was 2018. Now, five years later, he’s opening casinos and… well… it’s only a matter of time, isn’t it?
Yours in gossip,
