Aussies listen to something other than AC/DC? Who knew? (Via myspace.com/assiefloyd)

The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel has the Australian Pink Floyd Show tonight at 8 p.m. We didn’t realize there was really a call for a specifically Australian Pink Floyd tribute band, but there you go. We suppose it’s for people who love The Wall but just wish it had more references to vegemite. Click for more words and pictures »

If you didn’t get your fill of the ’90s last night at Rain, The Smashing Pumpkins are at The Pearl inside the Palms tonight at 8 p.m. Just remember kids: Emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness and cleanliness is Godliness and Godliness is puffycloudiness and puffycloudiness is sometimesraininess and sometimesraininess is takeanumbrellaness and umbrellas are empty, JUST LIKE ME.

The paragon of ’90s excellence.

Rain inside the Palms continues its Decade of Decadence parties for Music is the Currency by climbing into the ’90s. It’ll be just like starring in Reality Bites, but with 50 percent less stammering from Ben Stiller. We recommend dressing in flannel, flannel, and more flannel. If you were wearing a flannel and had a flannel tied around your waist while rocking some flannel sweatpants, that would be ideal. Be sure to impress your friends by loudly telling everyone you were into Nirvana with Bleach but thought they sold out with Nevermind. Click for more words and pictures »

Tastes like wholesome. (Via RetroRenovation.com)

If it’s early, you’re probably not quite stuffed full of cranberry sauce. If it’s late, you’re probably losing the will to live while you try to make yourself to digest faster. If you’re watching the Lions, you’re probably busy trying to claw your own eyes out or praying for the return of the XFL. Either way, pickings are slim if you’re looking for stuff to do once the dishes are clean, but you’re not completely out of luck. Enjoy the tryptophan! Click for more words and pictures »

What would he do if we asked for the Moe Howard cut? (Via KenPaves.com)

Celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves, whose clients include Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion and Eva Longoria, is partnering up with ElevenSpa Vegas at Town Square to open the Ken Paves Salon there on Jan. 11.

When are we going to get a celebrity hairstylist brave enough to put Bruce Willis, Brian Dennehy and Michael Douglas in Falling Down on their client brag list?

The cables do make it a little tricky to drink.

If you’re watching your calories and couldn’t possibly shovel in that third slice of pumpkin pie after Thanksgiving dinner, may we recommend something else to satiate your sweet tooth: Delicious, delicious booze. Yeah, yeah. We know. Booze is always the answer for all of our problems. If it didn’t work so well, we’d stop recommending it.

Bellagio bar czar Ray Srp created the Jumpstart for A.H. Hardy’s release party of its Esprit Classique cognac, which has a strong orange flavor to it. Rinse a cocktail glass with Kubler absinthe, pour in equal measures Esprit Classique, Three Olives Triple Shot Espresso vodka and half and half, shake and strain into your rinsed glass. Garnish with finely ground espresso beans.

“This one actually was pretty much on the first try. It’s kind of unusual,” Srp said. “A lot of times you’ll do a lot of cocktails, and sometimes you make it and you’ve got to tweak it five or six times. For some reason, these ingredients in my mind just came together and they worked well in the glass.” Click for more words and pictures »

Check out the gobblers on her. No, we don’t know what that means either.

It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving if you didn’t have to face down your family nice and hung over. You’re a lot less likely to hear your mother nag you about getting married sometime soon if all you can hear is pounding in your head. Plus, you’ll be too miserable to be horrified when your Uncle Herb undoes his pants.

So, Rok Vegas at New York-New York hosts 944 Magazine’s Jive Turkey 2, with Rhyme and Rhythm, The Bargain DJ Collective, Los Martinez Bros., DJ Sense and Ms. Ghetto Superstar herself, Mya. Go, steel yourself for battle, soldier. Aunt Edna’s horrific medical tales aren’t going to be any more bearable with a clear head.

So he’s going for the Retired Civil War General look, and she’s channeling Sonic the Hedgehog. Nice work, kids.

Sadly, not the one from Twins. (Via myspace.com/devenmay)

Deven May, who gained fame and fortune as Bat Boy in the Off-Broadway musical of the same name, is joining the Vegas cast of Jersey Boys as Tommy DeVito.

May played DeVito in the Jersey Boys national tour. Sadly, no new plans for Weekly World News-based musicals are in the works.
