Corey Haim used to be all over that every night. No wonder he’s trying to make a comeback.

Nicole Eggert celebrates the end of her freedom tonight at Tabu inside MGM Grand before she goes on Celebrity Fit Club. In holding with the grand tradition of everyone who was ever on Baywatch having to hook up with a musician of questionable nature, Eggert was the one attached to House of Pain and Limp Bizkit’s DJ Lethal. She sued him for burning her with cigarettes a couple years ago. She still got off better than Pam Anderson. Click for more words and pictures »

The world’s most mysterious DJ. Other than, you know. The Daft Punk guys. Or Deadmau5.

Haze at Aria brings in Dutch DJ Fedde le Grand tonight, because apparently between him and Tiesto, they want to run the table on house music coming out of the Netherlands. You’d think with legal hookers and weed, the Netherlands wouldn’t be this hotbed of house music. Or any music, actually. Or any anything. Everyone over there should be too busy with legal hookers and weed. Click for more words and pictures »

Hey, remember when 300 parodies were funny? No? That 20 minutes in 2007? Still no, huh? (Photo by Erik Kabik)

Eve at Crystals is warming up tonight with Carmen Electra coming in to host. Assuming your bag is a pushing-40 sex symbol who you want to see clothed when there are already plenty of serviceable naked pictures from the ’90s floating out there.

Tomorrow, though, is the main event at Eve — Wilmer Valderrama is celebrating his 30th birthday there. There’s something inherently depressing about kids who got famous playing high schoolers hit their 30s. Unless they’re kids from 90210 or Jump Street and were already in their late 20s by the time the shows started. Then it’s kind of hilarious in a Oh-My-God-Henry-Winkler-Was-Almost-40-by-the-End-of-Happy-Days kind of way. Ayyy!

Flo Rida, seen here ready to pounce. (Photo by Tony Tran | SpyOnVegas.com)

Former UNLV student Flo Rida apparently wasn’t in any mood to mess around last night at Haze inside Aria. He hit all the high notes — Stretching a club set to eight songs including “Low” and “Right Round?” Check. Making it rain? Check. Spraying the crowd with Champagne? Check. Jumping off the balcony onto the dance floor? Wait, what? Flo Rida is not a small dude. He’s probably around 6-foot-2 and built like a linebacker. If we were on the dance floor and turned around in time to see someone that big leaping down at us, we’d be pretty sure we were the cannon fodder in an action movie. Like one of Hans Gruber’s anonymous Germans or something. It would be terrifying. We’re putting that on our list of things to do before we die: Never have Flo Rida jump on us from the second story.

Sometime last week, Cyndi Lauper woke up, went down to the vault where she keeps the master tape of the “Time After Time” video, the sheet music to “The Goonies R Good Enough” and Paul Riser, who she acquired after her stint on Mad About You, and was horrified to discover that her entire wardrobe from the She’s So Unusual cover shoot had been stolen. Riser, however, was left intact.

As usual, Jamie Kennedy looks confused. (Photos by Al Powers | SpyOnVegas.com)

Jamie Kennedy and Jennifer Love Hewitt hit up Tao last night for the Fourth Annual Tao A-Go-Go, where they started at Lavo for dinner — with Hewitt’s mother, Patricia. Ooh, that’s good times, what with the going to an event where you have to oggle a bunch of broads in lingerie with your girlfriend’s mother.

Hewitt did some dancing herself for the crowd as she and her mom, who was once a dancer, helped choose the finalists while Kennedy was on mic duties. In the end, it was local cocktail waitress Grace Atencio who cashed in the $10,000 top prize. She said she was going to pay her mortgage and bills. Conspicuously, she omitted “Buying a bunch of copies of Kickin’ it Old Skool” from that list.

Also at the club was Nick Carter, celebrating his 30th birthday with boobtastic girlfriend Lauren Kitt. Carter made it rain when he got his birthday cake, which seems like a bad idea if you’re living off Backstreet residuals, but what do we know?

As far back as he can remember … (Photos by Scott Harrison | Retna)

Henry Hill, the Mafia informant played by Ray Liotta in Goodfellas, was at the Clark County Library last night with The Battle for Las Vegas author Dennis Griffen and Casino‘s Cowboy, Craig Vincent. No, he wasn’t chased into the library in slow motion by a helicopter while the Rolling Stones blasted over loudspeakers. But that is absolutely how we’d make all our entrances if we were him.

Man, it’s like they picked out ‘Indie Kid’ costumes at the Halloween store.

Critical and indie darlings Phoenix are at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel tonight with Sea Wolf. Everyone had their record, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix on their 2009 best-of lists. Amadeus, Amadeus. Amadeus. Amadeus, Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus. … Sorry. Slipped into like a Falco-induced fugue state their for a second. That kind of happens a couple of times a year ever since the ’80s. Click for more words and pictures »

Pensive Carter is pensive.

Backstreet Boy and older brother to Aaron’s Party sensation of late 2000, Aaron Carter, was with his girlfriend at Lavo inside Palazzo last night for dinner, as was Lil Jon. Both of them went upstairs but only one of them was drinking Patron from a Bedazzled bottle. Also at Lavo was Jason Giambi, who should totally do up the Gatorade jug on the Rockies’ bench like that.
