It was a night -- and early morning -- of million-dollar magic for the superstars of pop-music. Reigning royal Justin Timberlake thrilled with an extraordinary 3-plus hour concert at Planet Hollywood co-starring the Jonas Brothers, 50 Cent, Lionel Richie, Rihanna, Leona Lewis, and the Black Eyed Peas’ Will. I Am.

Justin's mega-watt, star-power show raised more than $1 million for the Shriners Hospitals for Children and not only did he promise he'll be back even bigger and better next year -- but he's committed for at least four more of the annual Justin & Friends events. The show, which attracted nearly 8,000 fans in the jam-packed theater, was a visual and audio extravaganza -- and nobody expected Justin's duets with Richie, Will. I Am and Rihanna.

Luxe Life has the first exclusive photos of the stunning show at Planet Hollywood's Theater for the Performing Arts that ended at 1 a.m. this morning (Saturday) -- and click back here on Monday for all the other onstage and behind-the-scenes candid shots that you just won't see anywhere else.

Justin and ladylove Jessica Biel even grabbed the Luxe Life camera to take their own photos for us! It capped a weeklong stay in Vegas for the couple that began with a "Get Out the Vote” rally, continued on with his Celebrity Golf Tournament for the Shriners as part of the PGA Tour, and ended with his party at the Prive nightclub in Planet Hollywood.

Meantime over at the Palms the reigning queen of R&B soul, Mary J. Blige, sang to another packed Pearl Theater audience and celebrity photographer Erik Kabik was front and center. Here’s a teaser in advance of the entire collection you'll see here on Monday.
