HEY BIG SPENDER

We’re sure you stunned all your friends and wowed the ladies by sending that five bones to a fiery grave. For your next trick, you should melt down a handful of nickels there, Billy Gates.

Shannon Kelly captured the pink Corvette as the winner of Jet’s Blondeshell Awards last night at The Mirage. For three weeks, 30 hopefuls worked on clubgoers to earn votes for the top prize that we’re pretty sure is a re-creation of Barbie’s Dream Car. For the full recap in pictures, check out SpyOnVegas.com.

LOVE FOR NU-METAL

Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and Orgy’s Ryan Shuck, along with their managers, producers and a handful of friends stopped by The Mirage last night for the 10 p.m. show of Love. Unfortunately, now that they’ve already collaborated with Jay-Z, and Jay-Z just did Oasis’ “Wonderwall,” and Oasis shamefully apes The Beatles, well — let’s just say we don’t like where this is going. And by “where this is going” we mean samples cut together to make it sound like John Lennon is freestyling over “Crawling.”

JENNER, BUSH POOLSIDE


Hooray! Schoolgirls!

The Hills bottom feeder Brody Jenner was at Hard Rock Hotel’s Rehab on Sunday, where he shared a cabana with Reggie Bush, who’s dating Kim Kardashian, who’s stepfather is Bruce Jenner, whose son is Brody, who was in Tremors with Kevin Bacon. We’re now too exhausted by doing that math to continue caring about the Kardashian-Jenner-Industrial Complex. Actor Shemar Moore and singer Tyrese were also spotted poolside.

Jenner later made his way to Body English for Sunday School, where he bought 10 bottles of Dom Perignon. Recently defeated UFC fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson also spent some time in the club. SpyOnVegas.com has all the Sunday School pics here, and the Rehab pics here.

PLASTIC FOR PATRIOTS


Red? Check. White? Check. Boobs? Check. All right, truth in advertising.

In an unbridled display of patriotism, Torrid at Planet Hollywood Resort’s Hawaiian Tropic Zone held Red, White and Boobs on Independence Day for a celebration of everything that makes this country great: Cutthroat competition, and the promise of fake breasts.

The silicone-hopeful competed for a breast augmentation courtesy of Dr. Pancholi of Cosmetic Surgery of Las Vegas. Joining the good doctor at the judges’ booth were Playboy cover model Tiffany Holliday and Playboy model, DJ Roxanne Dawn.

Producer, rapper and mogul Jermaine Dupri hosts Money for Nothing tonight at Prive inside Planet Hollywood Resort and will do a DJ set. Dupri got his big break as a producer when he unleashed Kriss Kross on the world. So — uh — thanks? If the Daddy Mack will not, in fact, make you jump, jump, you can scope the alternatives by reading on. Click for more words and pictures »

WILLIAMS DELIVERS TWO DAYS OF PIMPIN’

Comedian Katt Williams did two shows for his It’s Pimpin’, Pimpin’ tour this weekend at The Pearl inside The Palms. We heard it was the pimpinist pimpathon to pimp a room full of pimped-out pimps since The Mack played at an Oakland film festival.

There for the Saturday show were Too Short, comedian Luenell, former Bobcats shooting guard Alan Anderson and actor Shemar Moore.

Moore had a busy weekend, spending the Fourth at Blush inside Wynn Las Vegas along with Charlie Murphy. Revelers on the patio lit hundreds of sparklers while the DJ blasted “Born in the U.S.A.,” continuing in the fine tradition of Ronald Reagan of people who don’t listen to all the lyrics before using that song.

SLASH DELIVERS POOLSIDE BLUES


Don’t let anyone lie to you, kids: Smoking makes you cool. Cool like Slash. (Photo by Scott Harrison)

Slash stepped up Saturday for the launch of Bottle Rock It, the new poolside concert series at Red Rock Resort wherein wine, rock and environmentalism all come together. Really, though, just the wine and rock is plenty. Anything else seems like overkill.

The Velvet Revolver, Guns ‘n’ Roses and Snakepit guitarist brought Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Jason Bonham and Royston Langdon of Spacehog along for the show. The quartet also stopped by to take in Katt Williams’ act at The Pearl inside The Palms. We weren’t actually sure Jerry Cantrell ever smiled, so the news comes as much of a surprise to you as it does to us. It’s not like Alice in Chains ever did a video featuring a creepy monk with his eyes stitched together like upholstery or anything.

Slash delivered a slew of classics, performing the blues standard “Born Under a Bad Sign,” Steppenwolf’s “Pusherman” and BB King’s “The Thrill is Gone” before bringing up Jason Bonham for “Bring it on Home,” which Led Zeppelin covered on their second album. Click for more words and pictures »

Good Charlotte came to do a set at the Hard Rock Hotel pool Saturday night, which means that Benji and Joel Madden brought along their accessories: Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. The pseudo sisters in fame and, uh, Maddenosity, watched the show from a cabana above the stage.

After the show, the foursome headed over to Wasted Space where Joel Madden did a set in the DJ booth. Audrina Patridge, hairstylist Michael Boychuck, House of Pain alum Everlast and Smashtime’s Ben Lyons were all at the new venue, which marks its grand opening later in the month.

On Sunday night, Good Charlotte filmed a music video for “Elevator” in the Hardwood Suite at The Palms, with Paris getting some camera time. We can all agree that we’re on the countdown to entering the Yoko zone here, right? This whole Benji, Joel, Paris, Nicole axis seems primed for a spectacular collapse in the next six months to a year. Someone get Bellagio to post odds on that. Click for more words and pictures »
