Victoria's Secret Models, P. Diddy on Hand for Fontainebleau's Grand Re-Opening

Finally, the day has come: Fontainebleau Miami has its Grand Re-Opening celebration today after its $1 billion renovation. We've been covering this epic remodeling process for a long, long time now, and now it's only appropriate that the whole unveiling happens in spectacular fashion — which they've got covered.

Speaking of fashion, as you've probably heard, the Victoria's Secret fashion show (featuring Usher!) at the seven-story set around the hotel's pool-scape will be taped tomorrow (Saturday) night.

But on hand tonight for the official grand opening festivities: singer and song writer Robin Thicke plus "a surprise performance from a Grammy Award winning global icon" (who who who? Anyone know?) will be the entertainment. On the guest list: P. Diddy, A-Rod, Terrence Howard, Chloe Sevigny and Venus and Serena Williams. Wait — if A-Rod is coming, does this mean the surprise performance might be Madonna? Maybe?

We're not getting our hopes up or anything, but we're just saying...Madonna's presence would perfectly top off this amazingly campy ribbon-cutting ceremony:

Electrifying million dollar Ai WeiWei chandeliers will shine on a bevy of Victoria’s Secret Angels as they cut the ribbon on the Staircase in the presence of VIP guests, ushering in a new era of flamboyance at Fontainebleau Miami Beach.

"Flamboyance" is right. Once the ribbon is cut, guests can expect 1,504 new guestrooms (with iMacs!), 11 restaurants and lounges, a 40,000-square-foot spa with a celeb facialist, and a new oceanfront pool-scape with "walls of water" (with Premium Cabanas that start at the reasonable rate of $1000 a day).

Check out their newly-updated website for a sneak peek at the new rooms. If you're really gutsy, you can sit through the nutty Matrix-esque video with a voiceover that sounds like a cross between our yoga instructor and the lady who tells us where to turn on our car's GPS.

Looks like rooms are starting around $349 next week.
