After all, she is his mirror!
Justin Timberlake was overcome with emotion and affection for wife Jessica Biel during his induction into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame this past Saturday, and it's nice to hear him be so smitten with his love.
This is the f---ing coolest thing that has ever happened to me. I wanna thank all the great artists in this hall. I’m truly honored to merely stand on the shoulders of all these legends I grew up listening to, and I grew up admiring, to say that I stand alongside them now," he began.
The "SexyBack" crooner then laid on the praise for his "beautiful, loving and incredibly understanding" actress partner of three years. "Baby, I love you more than I could put into words and more than any song I could ever write," he gushed while choking up.

Kendall Jenner did a quick turnaround, landing at LAX upon returning from a modeling gig in China, rushing home to change and re-pack her bags to then meet the family at Van Nuys airport to catch a private jet to Las Vegas. The bleary-eyed teen disembarked in Sin City with a heavily pregnant Kim Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner. It's the ladies' second trip to the desert since last Tuesday when former NBA star Lamar Odom suffered an apparent overdose at a Nevada brothel and was taken to Sunrise Hospital.
After reportedly waking from a three-day coma and being taken off a ventilator on Friday, the family appeared optimistic as they met a friend on the tarmac and headed to the hospital. Kris Jenner gave the pal a big hug and had a huge smile on her face as they all then got into a waiting SUV to go meet Khloe.
Kim Tweeted, on Saturday, that she and Kendall were able to make Lamar smile during their visit. God is good! Prayers up for Lamar!
I believe in the power of prayer! Thx 4 ur prayers Lammy- So happy Kendall & I could make u smile 2day God is good! pic.twitter.com/T50WNEnmOL

That awkward moment when you realize catching a movie with your BFF is actually a date ...
Ok, people -- Ronda Kamihira's been by Caitlyn's side during her transition from Bruce, her divorce from Kris, her move to Malibu and throughout the taping of her docu-series and Ronda's still by Cait's side. One may think this is a usual sort of unusual friendship -- the best friend who finds herself supporting her pal's gender transition; the best friend who was there during her friends' divorce (let's not forget, she was close to Kris, too); the best friend who now finds herself getting gussied up for date night with Caitlyn ...
Ronda and Cait went to see the movie The Walk the other night and both looked quite fancy and done-up for a simple night at the theater. Trying to impress one another, perhaps?
You know when you have that super close friendship with someone and little-by-little you realize you have deeper feelings for that person? Romantic feelings. Could that be happening with Ronda and Cait? Maybe "the one" for Caitlyn has been by her side all along ...

Lamar's dad Joe Odom appeared to be in good spirits during a quick errand run at Walmart in Las Vegas near the hospital where his son is said to be recovering from an apparent overdose last week.
We spotted Joe shopping for a suit the other day and he seems to be making use of it during his time in the Nevada city. He's still accessorizing with his usual baseball cap.
Odom has been by his son's side since Tuesday, when the former NBA star was admitted to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas after being found unconscious in a brothel bedroom. Khloe Kardashian has been by her estranged husband's bedside since that day as well, and has even spent a few nights in Lamar's room.
Lamar's former teammates have been sending well wishes as well -- in fact, former player Joe Smith, who played with Odom on the Lakers in 2010-11 recorded a song in honor of his pal called, "If I Die Tonight." Sounds kinda depressing to us, but maybe some of Lamar's friends are finding comfort in this tribute. Take a listen ...

All hail the King! Tyga's son King Cairo celebrated his 3rd birthday with celebrity pals, on Friday. Kanye West brought daughter Nori and Kourtney brought her trio - Mason, Penelope and even baby Reign, to Racer's Edge indoor go-kart warehouse in Burbank.
The car theme was carried through to the fire truck inflatable slide outside in the parking lot, where even Chris Brown took a turn plunging down the steep slope ... with a drink in hand! Later, the singer tooled around on a bike while smoking a cigarette (how appropriate for a kids' party!), while daughter Royalty played with her friends.
Proud papa Tyga brought in loads of presents for his son, while girlfriend Kylie enjoyed some snacks from a food truck. The youngest Jenner and Kourtney were the only members of the Kardashian clan to make an appearance, as the rest of the family is holding vigil as Lamar Odom fights for his life in a Las Vegas hospital.
If this is what a three-year-old gets for his birthday, imagine what these kids will be doing for their sweet 16!

Justin Bieber stopped traffic - LITERALLY - Friday afternoon in Beverly Hills as he had his driver stop in the middle of the street so he could ditch the car and do some grinding at City Hall!
The Biebster stepped out of his black SUV, carefully exchanged his Yeezy Boosts for some old-school black-and-white checkerboard slip-on Vans and headed over to some tempting steps on city property -- right next door to the police department. Risky!
After showing off and landing a few tricks, Biebs high-fived some photographers and got back in his waiting car. He gave us a quick comment on Lamar Odom before speeding away ...

He opened his eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lamar Odom has reportedly opened his eyes and has been able to communicate, according to Entertainment Tonight.
The site is reporting that a source inside the hospital said that the basketball star, who has been in critical condition in a Las Vegas since Tuesday, opened his eyes and when asked if he wanted to see his two children, the 35-year-old former Laker was able to communicate “Yes." It is unknown if the fallen sports star spoke or used body language.
This is AMAZING news!
UPDATE: A source has told E! News that Odom opened up his eyes and said to Khloe, "Hey, baby." He then gave her a thumbs up and then went back to sleep. The source also says that the basketball star is no longer using a breathing tube.

Once a teammate, always a teammate ...
Lamar Odom's former teammate, Kobe Bryant, broke his social media silence and tweeted about his friend, whom he rushed to visit at the Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas upon hearing of the shocking news that he had been found unconscious in a brothel and was in critical condition.
Bryant tweeted, “#justpray,†along with the message: “When WE feel the need to question the support of others in moments as critical as a life hanging in the balance, then we must question the kind of culture we have created that has led US to such insensitive suspicion.â€
The 37-year-old took the opportunity to slam public criticism over his loyalty to his friend. Earlier in the week, rapper Master P called Bryant “phony†and said his visit to Odom was a publicity stunt.
“If Kobe was his friend, Kobe like, owns the team. He could’ve got the man back on the team, that’s all he wanted,†The "Make 'Em Say Uhh" rapper told TMZ.
The Lakers shooting guard was first alerted to Odom's situation while playing a preseason game against the Sacramento Kings at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas on Tuesday. He left the game early and went immediately to visit his friend in the hospital.
We're all praying that Odom will pull through this crisis ...
