Five star-studded events at Planet Hollywood this fall will help heat-up the economic slowdown. That's the plan of the resort casino's owner chairman, Robert Earl, who confirmed last night Justin Timberlake's final superstar lineup for next Friday night's charity concert there.

Justin Timberlake, shown at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, is lining up the stars for his concert at the Planet Hollywood Theatre for the Performing Arts.

Justin's on-stage friends, who will be helping the pop-singer with his Shriners Childrens Hospital benefit show and golf tournament, now include The Jonas Brothers, 50 Cent, Boyz II Men, Rihanna, will.i.am, Adam Levine, Esmee Denters and Leona Lewis. That show has an 8 p.m. kickoff on Oct. 17.

Robert commented: "It's the hottest show to hit Vegas this season with such an impressive lineup under one roof in one show."

The mega-star power is followed by two new world movie premieres. On Oct. 23 Planet Hollywood will welcome the cast of the Halloween horror Saw 5 with a red-carpet procession and an exclusive after-party at its Prive nightclub. On Nov. 6 super-singer Sarah Brightman and pop-princess Paris Hilton will be on the red carpet for the movie premiere of Repo! The Genetic Opera -- and both gorgeous girls will host their after-party at Prive.

Robert Earl added: "The fall season will end with a sold out Nine Inch Nails concert in our Performing Arts Theater on Dec. 13. While both the weather and our economy cool down we continue to bring the hottest talent to Vegas. As we celebrate our one-year anniversary we continue on with our promise to bring the highest profile events to the Strip."

To kick off the New Year, Planet Hollywood plays host to Randy Jackson's "America's Party" live Strip telecast on Dec. 31 and then welcomes 52 new contestants duking it out to win the 2008 Miss America crown, which will be telecast live on Jan. 24 as a two-hour TV special.
