RONSON KICKS OFF TORRID

Samantha Ronson spun from midnight to 4 a.m. at the debut of Hawaiian Tropic Zone’s Torrid inside Planet Hollywood Resort Friday night, but despite being seen dining with Lindsay Lohan earlier in the evening, she was nowhere to be seen at the club. There’s a report that the two were drinking Shirley Temples with dinner, but we were convinced that had to be a misprint and they were actually downing Shirley Temple Black Russians. That’s a little mixology humor for you there. Six bartenders just started cracking up; the rest of you will have to break out your Mr. Boston guide and cross reference with your child star index.
Ronson returned on Saturday for Strip Las Vegas’ May release party, which featured cover model Valentina Vaugh along with Penthouse Pet of the Year Erica Ellyson, author Dr. Z and Penthouse pets Cassia Riley, Justine Jolie and Jamie Lynn. That’s Dr. Z who posed in Penthouse, not the Dr. Z who writes football for Sports Illustrated, although we hear the former had some intriguing thoughts on running the draw against the blitz on fourth and long in her sex advice book.
