We hope he reprises his ‘South Beach Clubber c. 1986′ look..
MAGIC is getting good and properly kicked off with a DJ set from Will.i.am at Tao inside The Venetian tonight. You know what that means. Instead of hearing that “Tonight’s Gonna Be a Good Night” song twice, you’re going to have to hear it remixed and cut into an extended Black Eyed Peas set. Yay? Click for more words and pictures »

Maxim brought in its top 10 2009 Hometown Hotties finalists Saturday night to Wasted Space to hang out with Paris Hilton and Carey Hart. Sure, but we’d like to show them our hometown, ifyouknowwhatwemean. Yeah, it’s this cool little spot in Upstate New York. Great time during tourist season. And by tourist season we mean … well, it’s like late July through August. Short, but it’s fun. Just like … wait, that’s a terrible double entendre. Nevermind.
April Rose, the defending 2008 Hometown Hottie was on hand to get the girls accustomed to their official, Maxim-approved Hottie status. Should you be in a voting mood, you can’t cast your ballot until Sept. 10, but you can inform yourself on the issues here.
Hilton brought Doug Reinhardt to Rare 120 for dinner Sunday night, and from there they went to Body English where Sugar Ray and Obama-based poetry writin’ Mark McGrath was partying (no, really). Some of the Camp Freddy guys were also at Rare, including Dave Navarro, Billy Morrison, Matt Sorum, Chris Chaney and Donovan Leitch. Click for more words and pictures »
Hey, Jason Priestly, what would Henry Winkler do on the red carpet? (Photos by Scott Harrison | Retna)
He may have dated his on-screen sister, which is a smart move if you want to make America vaguely creeped out over something they understand is fiction but can’t help being skeeved about nonetheless, but in his post Beverly Hills, 90210 life Jason Priestly really, really, really made the right choice by marrying Naomi Lowde-Priestly. As you can tell, we were like a stiff breeze away from having one of her boobs pop out on the red carpet. It was very nearly the most magical night in Tabu’s history.
Seriously, why couldn’t Friday have been the night Naomi’s heel broke and she toppled forward, or there was a minor earthquake around the MGM Grand, or an asteroid passed too close to earth and temporarily increased the effects of gravity in a subtle, but noticeable way?
Natural disasters never happen when you need them to. Anyway. Priestly was celebrating his 40th birthday party at Tabu, bringing along a crew of 30, including his parents, Buffy actress Kristy Swanson and CSI: Miami actor Max Martini.
Priestly accommodated autograph-and-picture-seeking fans before he photobombed his folks’ own Kodak moment when he jumped in a shot they were trying to take with the event poster. Oh Brandon Walsh, you are an incorrigible scamp.

Shannon Elizabeth headed up the draft class at LAX inside Luxor Friday night for the Superdraft party, a multi-property collection of the nation’s top minds in fantasy football like Bill Simmons, Gary Dell’Abate, Shark Tank panelist Daymond John, Paul Scheer, Ncik Kroll and Stephen Rannazzisi of The League and ESPN Fantasy Analyst Matthew Berry.
Thursday was the official start of festivities, with a Stacy Keibler-hosted affair at Jet, while Saturday saw Molly Sims take over hosting duties at Pure for a performance from Flo Rida and the aforementioned on the guest list.
We hope everyone had a good time, because when Maurice Jones-Drew gets knocked out in Week 3 and your team isn’t going to climb out of ninth place the rest of the way, at least you’ll be able to say you spent a night hanging out in Pure the same time an ESPN.com columnist was there.

Aside from the whole “being dead” thing, this was a big weekend for Michael Jackson. Captain Eo, who died in a tragic wrist-bound knife fight in 1983 (we think) got his own star at the Palms with father Joe Jackson on hand for the dedication along with Johnny Brenden and George Maloof Saturday.
Then, inside The Pearl, the Las Vegas Celebrates the Music of Michael Jackson brought together performers from Jersey Boys, The Lion King, Phantom, Peepshow, the guys of Mosaic, Terry Fator and others to raise more than $100,000 for Clark County schools.
The only way it could get better for a Michael-filled weekend is if Macaulay Culkin would man up and admit he’s Blanket’s babydaddy.

This kind of crap never would’ve happened if Dylan McKay were still on the job. Apparently the inmates are running the asylum now, because AnnaLynne McCord of the new 90210 was hanging out with Twilight’s Kellan Lutz Sunday at MGM Grand’s Wet Republic.
Normally, we thought you had to invite vampires into the Peach Pit before they could come inside.
McCord was also joined by her sister, Angel. The three of them hung out in McCord’s bungalow, where they kept the curtains closed for privacy. And not because the sun is poison to his kind, WINK! Did we just say “wink” out loud? You bet your sweet ass we did.
For God’s sake, he left wearing a baseball hat, long-sleeve T-shirt and jeans. We get it. You’re living the vampire lifestyle. Great. Just be careful people don’t start getting twitchy and try to jab you full of sharp wood.

OK, Amber Rose is more or less Gozer the Gozerian with a haircut, right? Even though those are blue contacts, we don’t trust those eyes. The only logical explanation is that the Keymaster and Gatekeeper got together to bring Amber Rose into this world with the sole intention of destroying it. Look, there’s only one way to be sure. Someone send Ernie Hudson in to see her. If she blasts him with lightning, we’ll know what we’re dealing with.
Rose, better known as Kanye’s girlfriend, was hosting at Tao Beach Saturday afternoon. She was hanging out with her brother, Antonio Hewlett, and listening to DJ Graham Funke spin Kanye songs when the gay fish himself made a surprise appearance. The two of them hung out until the pool closed, then went over to Lavo for dinner with friends, and a stop in one of Tao’s skyboxes. And then they beat the holy hell out of Carlos Mencia. It was a whole thing.
On Friday, Chad Michael Murray of One Tree Hill celebrated his 28th birthday with girlfriend Kenzie Dalton at Tao before hitting the club. Ryan McPartlin of Chuck and Thad Luckinbill of The Young and the Restless were there as well. Murray did birthday night round two at Lavo, leading two days’ and two clubs’ worth of people to all go, “Wait, One Tree Hill is still a show?”
Wow, Doug couldn’t look any more uncomfortable if he were getting tased. Which gives us an idea …
Simon Rex was enough of a draw to lure ex-girlfriend Paris Hilton to Prive inside Planet Hollywood Resort, toting along Doug Reinhardt Saturday night. This had all the makings of a gigantic trainwreck, but nothing exciting happened. Maybe they should’ve called Joe Francis. Rex, in his Dirt Nasty persona, was with Andre Legacy to do their thing when they were joined by Friday night’s performer, Mickey Avalon. Paris got on stage and on the mic for “Droppin’ Names” while she danced for a crowd that included Friday Night Lights star Scott Porter for his 30th birthday.
Avalon was at Strip House Friday night for dinner, as was Piers Morgan and Roger Clemens. And by “dinner” we mean “decadurabolin.”
Hilton also turned up at Wasted Space inside Hard Rock Hotel with Carey Hart for the Top 10 Maxim Hometown Hotties finalists.
Jon Gosselin, in the way of a bunch of hot chicks. There’s symbolism in there somewhere. (Photos by Ethan Miller | Getty Images)
The guy who’s only claim to fame is being married to a shrew whose uterus exploded like a bag of popcorn was at MGM Grand’s Wet Republic on Saturday, turning up to the pool with his mother, Pamela Gosselin Castello and a bunch of dudes. His girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, was nowhere to be seen. Probably because she figures it’s best not to give Kate too many clues to her whereabouts.
Regardless, Douchesauraus Rex Jon Gosselin is going to be meeting with Christian Audigier today for the start of MAGIC — proving that he knows a good thing two years after he sees it.
That night, Gosselin hit up Ka with his mother. It probably gave him a lot of hope watching a huge cast weirdly comfortable under the relentless scrutiny of strangers. Hope that his kids would take up gymnastics instead of wanting to go to eight different expensive colleges.
On a night where the crowd should have been in working in a sweaty, beat-fueled frenzy, there was silence.
DJ R.O.B. (Robert Hathcock) who regularly opened for DJ AM, stopped the music at midnight to call for a minute of silence to honor Adam Goldstein, DJ AM, found dead yesterday in a Manhattan apartment at age 36.
With lighters and cell phones in the air, R.O.B. spun Diddy’s “I’ll Be Missing You” to a photo montage of AM. DJ Greg Lopez joined R.O.B. on stage while club staff wore AM T-shirts and Nike sneakers. AM was a sneaker enthusiast. A table at the entrance served as a memorial for guests to leave flowers and mementos.
The New York Medical Examiner’s Office said an autopsy was inconclusive pending results of a toxicology screening which won’t be available for several weeks. Police say they found a bag of crack on AM’s body and are calling it an apparent drug overdose, according to the New York Post.
