‘Wine Angels’ is a perfect example of words being made more awesome by the other words around them.

It’s way better than buying your own second-hand tux. Click for more words and pictures »

Magician Lance Burton — no, make that Master Magician Lance Burton — will be staying at the Monte Carlo through 2015 as part of a six-year contract renewal announced today at the casino he’s been a part of since its opening. Monte Carlo President and COO Anton Nikodemus was at the announcement this afternoon along with Mayor Oscar Goodman, who presented Burton with a proclamation naming July 7 Lance Burton Day.

The proclamation reads: “Whereas; the grand illusion of legendary Master Magician Lance Burton will continue to captivate and enchant audiences at Monte Carlo through 2015; and Whereas; the signing of the new agreement comes at the completion of an already legendary 13-year run, which began the day the resort opened on June 21, 1996; and Whereas; Lance Burton has been chosen as Las Vegas’ ‘Best Magician’ for the past 11 years in a row in the Review-Journal’s ‘Best of Las Vegas’ poll; and Whereas; the addition of six more years celebrates one of the longest partnerships in the history of Las Vegas entertainment; and Whereas; the new agreement promises Monte Carlo guests almost two decades of astounding performances and mesmerizing sleight-of-hand; now Therefore; I, the Mayor of Las Vegas, County of Clark, State of Nevada, hereby proudly proclaim July 7th to be Lance Burton Day in the city of Las Vegas.”

First of all, it’s nice to see anyone breaking out Declaration of Independence language for anything. Second, that naming July 7 Lance Burton Day kind of put hizzonner on a little proclaiming spree. He proclaimed Burton’s air cast on his right foot to be the most important medical device of the month. Then he declared that the mayoral cat, Mr. Fluffybottom, was the softest kitty in all the land. Finally, he officially proclaimed that Marie Osmond had the flyest booty on all the Las Vegas Strip.

Six down, six to go. Amber Nicole became June’s Miss Playboy Club, crowned by Miss May 2006 Alison Waite on Sunday night inside the Palms where they hung out in the VIP drinking water. Nearby, Miss October 2008 Kelly Carrington was with a group of friends. With the death of Michael Jackson we’ve been so inundated with ’80s nostalgia that the first thing we thought of when we saw “Carrington” was Dynasty. And then that made us want to go watch Magnum reruns, because Tom Selleck with a Ferrari is sweet. Seriously. Go look at that. Hawaiian shirt, rad moustache, prissy British butler? Magnum was way cooler than Michael. We want to start holding Tom Selleck retrospectives right now.

The Pussycat Dolls unveil their new ‘Scottish Streetwalker’ look. (Photos by Scott Harrison | Retna)

The Pussycat Dolls put on their show at The Pearl inside the Palms Saturday night which, in a move that we’re sure involved no one, involved very little in the way of pants. No, instead, lead Doll Nicole Scherzinger opted for the bold hooker-boots-and-plaid-knickers ensemble, which we imagine was her tribute to Payne Stewart. If Payne Stewart dressed like a stripper.

On the one hand, you should know when starting a fight with Anna Kournikova that she used to date hockey players, and therefore knows how to handle herself in a scrape. On the other hand, those hockey players were Russian, so, maybe not so much.

Either way, a drunk broad got into it with Kournikova Saturday night at Lavo after the Hardbat Classic, said a club rep. According to People, Kournikova and the unidentified brassy dame got into a little shoving match before being separated. As Kournikova was leaving, the woman came back and tossed a drink one the one-time Internet pic sensation. That led to more shoving, and then:

The other woman grabbed Kournikova by the neck and pushed her into a wall before security broke them apart.”

Man, who knew Monica Seles fans were that passionate? Oh. Oh wait …

Miss USA Kristen Dalton made two stops in town yesterday. One at the Nevada Cancer Institute, the other at Margaritaville inside The Flamingo. So, more or less the same place.

At the Cancer Institute, Dalton toured the facilities with Dr. Karen Milligan — with whom she shares a hometown of Wilmington, N.C., and alma mater of Eastern Carolina University — visiting the library, exam room, exercise room and the infusion suite while also meeting patients undergoing chemotherapy.

At Margaritaville, she ate nachos. Man, nachos are pretty awesome.

Tyrese Gibson got over his Michael Bay-induced shellshock long enough to take over hosting duties last night at Prive inside Planet Hollywood Resort. Transformers 1 and 2, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Four Brothers, the Death Race remake. This is a man determined to appear in the worst Hollywood has to offer. It’s like he’s sitting around waiting for the phone to ring for a juicy part in Epic Movie 2. It is more or less the actor equivalent of being a cutter.

You can almost tell there are people in the movie.

Tyrese Gibson, who plays a part in Transformers 2: We Even Screwed Up Giant Robots Fighting, is hosting tonight at Prive inside Planet Hollywood Resort. It’s a good thing that movie made $200 million over the last five days. Otherwise Michael Bay was going to blow up Gibson in a bid to appease the Movie Gods. Click for more words and pictures »

Ashley Hartman did her bachelorette party at Tabu inside MGM Grand Friday night with 20 of her friends in black dresses while the Maxim model wore white. So, you know, even though it’s a celebrity party, don’t you make the mistake of thinking that’ll do anything to dampen the soul-crushing idiocy of your average bachelorette party. It just means there are 50 percent fewer novelty penises going around.

Hartman had her sisters, Audrey and Maria with her. Her new series, Love Squad, debuts on MTV in two weeks.

Over at Blush inside Wynn Las Vegas, Wayne Brady and Shar Jackson took over the VIP room knocking back champagne Saturday night. See what you missed out on, K-Fed? Rampage Jackson was at Body English, where he made it rain to the tune of $1,000.

Finally, Taye Diggs spent his Sunday night at O inside Bellagio with friends. He spent the day at Rehab.
