TLC, the record-breaking, four-time R&B Grammy winners who were a mainstay on the Billboard charts in the 1990s, is set to play a show on U.S. soil for the first time in seven years – as part of a benefit concert hosted by Justin Timberlake.
Playing the “Justin Timberlake and Friends” concert, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, the two remaining members of TLC – Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes was killed in a 2002 car accident – will play Las Vegas’s Mandalay Bay Events Center on Oct. 17.
Along with Timberlake and TLC, country sweetheart Taylor Swift and vocalists Alicia Keys and Ciara have also been added to the ticket. Tickets go on sale Saturday.
The benefit concert highlights a weeklong golf tournament to be hosted by Timberlake in Sin City Oct. 11-18 – the 2009 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
Timberlake, 28, is in the second year of a five-year partnership with Shriners to host the golf tournament and benefit concert.

It’s official: Joe Jonas and Camilla Belle have broken up. “Yes, it’s true, they have broken up,” Brad Cafarelli, Belle’s rep, confirmed Monday. “There is no third party involved and they care deeply about each other and will remain friends.”
The 19-year-old rock star, known for his energetic performances, was reportedly visibly saddened during a Jonas Brothers concert in Detroit last night, especially when he sang “Much Better,” a song he penned after he began dating Belle, 22, last fall.
The song is about a girlfriend who is “much better” than a previous girlfriend. The song is widely believed to be a dig at Taylor Swift, who very publicly dissed Jonas after he broke up with her.
Though neither Jonas or Belle ever confirmed that they were dating, Jonas was often seen going out to lunch with the 10,000 B.C. actress. The two met last September while filming the Jonas Brothers’ music video “Lovebug.” Jonas broke up with Swift soon after meeting Belle but made it clear in a blog on the Jonas Brothers’ MySpace page, that he never cheated on anyone.
Jonas is currently in the middle of the Jonas Brothers World Tour, while Belle is filming Father of Invention with Kevin Spacey.
