0930WED: THE ROUNDUP

Mojo
Sneering behind a turntable near you.

Godskitchen at Body English brings in British DJ Paolo Mojo tonight for the first of two quick dates in the United States before he retreats to Europe. Which is pretty much where you need to be when you’re using a Portuguese moniker. Either that or on the cast of Lost with those weird dudes on the boat who were hanging out in the Antarctic.

SLAYTON OUT OF TROP

It’s all sorts of entertainment reconfiguration at the Tropicana. Along with the addition of Wayne Newton and the subtraction of Rich Natole, comic Bobby Slayton, who was four-walling the showroom, has been de-listed from the Trop’s entertainment schedule. You already can’t buy tickets through the hotel’s website, but we’re awaiting official word on whether the show, which just started in March, is already done or has shows left to perform.

UPDATE: Slayton’s last show was Sunday, a Trop rep confirms.

THE OLD IN ‘N OUT: IS HE INTO YOU?

Stalker
Ladies, he wouldn’t stalk you if he didn’t care about you.

Last week, we told you about the one thing that is never a mystery when it comes to men: They want you to touch their penis. (OK, it might have been a cop-out of a column, but we thought it was pretty funny and clever. And, OK, easy to write. What? Some of us need to catch up on Khloe and Kourtney Take Miami.) Let’s face it, when it comes to men and sex, men are pretty damn readable. If they don’t tear off your clothes the minute you say “Let’s have sex,” he’s not into you. End of story.

That’s the easy part. However, there’s a big difference in terms of readability when it comes to whether a guy wants an actual relationship or not – you know, where he wants to take you out and be seen in public with you. And, most importantly, he doesn’t mind hanging out with you with your clothes on. (Ed note: This is an option? Apparently we’ve been going about this all wrong.)

Well, these signs might be obscure for some women, but they’re not to me. So I’ll give you a few pointers ladies, if you’re not so sure a guy is that into you or not: Click for more words and pictures »

And now you know what it would look like if Bono tried to blow a robot.

SAHARA SET TO OPEN INK JOINT

Voltron
OK, so this would be more for Five Lions Tattoo, but you get the idea. Yes, this is just an excuse to post Voltron pics.

Just in time for the Biggest Tattoo Show on Earth, the Sahara’s new 3 Lions Tattoo opens tomorrow. It’s the second location for 3 Lions — they’re already going next door at the Riviera — and the first tattoo parlor for the Sahara. They had to wait at least 10 years after Sinatra died to make sure his angry ghost was completely disconnected from the property, otherwise he’d totally haunt the place for ever putting something like that in there. As it is, he wasn’t too thrilled with the NASCAR Cafe. That’s why on a cold night when the moon is full if you listen hard, you can hear a sepulchral voice sadly singing “High Hopes” in the hotel halls while Jack Daniels bottles mysteriously levitate across the expanse and smash themselves against pictures of Ava Gardner.

Incidentally, on their website, the “Tattoo of the Month” is of Andrew Dice Clay. Which we can only infer to mean that their top celebrity client is Andrew Dice Clay.

Feel free to use this as your guide to re-creating current, late-period Madonna. Click for more words and pictures »

TATTOO YOU

Tommy Lee gets tattooed
All of Barth’s tattoos will be done on the ground this time. We think.

The Biggest Tattoo Show on Earth is coming to Mandalay Bay Thursday night. That’s not hyperbole, that’s just what it’s called. OK, so maybe there’s some hyperbole on their part, but we had nothing to do with that, we’re just telling you what the name of the– you know what? Nevermind.

More than 50,000 tattoo artists and attendees are expected to turn up for the show, hosted by Starlight Tattoo’s Mario Barth and MC’ed by Evan Seinfeld. Among those slated to turn up for the VIP party at Rumjungle Thursday night (and the convention Friday through Sunday) are Tommy Lee, Jack Osbourne, Mark McGrath, Duff McKagan, Mix Master Mike, Mick Fleetwood, DJ Scotty Boy, DJ Steve Aoki, DJ Skribble, Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, Billy Duffy and Billy Morrison of The Cult, Sully Erna of Godsmack, and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains.

We caught up with Barth to get the lowdown on the convention (which is shooting for multiple Guinness tattoo-related records, but sadly not this one), plus his plans to have four tattoo shops in Strip casinos within the next six months. Click for more words and pictures »

THIS GIN NEEDS MORE CHICKEN

Envy
It’s the kind of place where you can swirl a snifter of brandy and plot something evil.

Hendrick’s Gin and steak go together like a Saturday night trip to Pahrump and regret. You can get them paired perfectly together tonight at SpyOnVegas.com’s Fude at Envy Steakhouse inside the Renaissance Hotel, where for $39 you can get your appetizer (chop salad, black pepper calamari and rock shrimp or roasted tomato soup), entree (honey vermouth chicken, black angus filet or lemon and herb roasted salmon filet) and dessert (chocolate lava cake, lemon-lime mousse or pineapple and ginger upside-down cake) accompanied by the SpyOn Open Bar from 6 to 9 p.m. Go ahead and make your reservation, because you want to say you got in on the ground floor when we unleash our new vermouth chicken/Hendricks Martini on the world.

Um. Well. At least the Inglourious Basterds Fan Club didn’t hold their meeting on Monday? We guess? Look, couldn’t they just have gone as Eli Roth this week?

YOUR MISS SEPTEMBER

Hinton

Even though years of systematic video game abuse makes us want to keep calling her Lara, Miss July 2008 Laura Croft was on hand at Playboy Club inside the Palms Sunday night to name Jessa Hinton Miss Playboy Club September 2009. Hinton is a bunny at the club, so she already knows a thing or two about Playboy-ing. Nine down, three to go for the monthly contest where the winner has a chance at getting a pictorial in the magazine — just like Aubrey O’Day (ranty semi-nude YouTube video not required, but highly encouraged).
