So, people really want to hear ‘Boom Boom Pow’ live, huh? (Photo by Joe Fury. Additional photos by Erik Kabik | Retna)

Perez Hilton’s sparring partner, Will.i.am, pulled guest DJ duties at Z-Trip’s Revolution Friday night at Rain inside the Palms after the U2 show, rocking the turntables until 3 a.m. The band had their official afterparty at Bellagio’s Bank, complete with Fergie and the other two Peas, Taboo and Apl.de.ap. We’re pretty sure they agreed to tour with U2 just because those two could relate to Larry Mullin and Adam Clayton.

Also at Rain was Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury. See, he had time to hang out at Rain because he’s not playing baseball. Because Boston got swept. Swept by the Angels, who didn’t even get out of the ALCS. (Is that enough Yankee-fan insufferability yet? What’s that? It’s not? Well, OK …) It’s going to be fun once the Yanks bounce the Phillies and the new Stadium can ring clear with “Oh! Oh! Se-Ven!” chants to take the place of “Nine-teen! Eigh-teen!” Hey, it’s a start.

Also at Rain was blogger and daughter of U.S. Sen. John McCain, Meghan McCain, who caused a firestorm recently when she posted this pic to Twitter. Really? The most controversial thing about that pic is that she looks like a cam girl from the late-’90s. (Holla, early adopter Internet nerds.) Do we really want to get into a situation where we’re going to make girls uncomfortable for putting their boobs on display on the Internet? Then where would we be? Back to having to leave the house to get porn, that’s where. No one wants that.

Speaking of hussies, though, LeAnn Rimes ducked into Socity Cafe inside Encore for breakfast. She sat alone, which is the most surprising news we’ve heard all week.
