DEADMAU5 REVIVING BODY ENGLISH

There’s a little life left in Body English after all. The old girl at the Hard Rock Hotel, closed since January, will reopen for a one-off from Angel Management Group Oct. 15 with Deadmau5. It’s the perfect spot for, say, overheating in your giant mouse head.

The vacated space was originally targeted for spring or early summer to come back on-line as an afterhours club. Angel recently took over operation of Rehab at the Hard Rock in a series of nightlife moves at the property that include the upcoming closure of Wasted Space to make way for a sports book.

POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE

With things winding down at Body English inside the Hard Rock Hotel, it’s time for another venerable institution to come off the boards. Sunday School, the end-of-the-weekend tribute to everyone’s favorite mild fetish wherein ladies wearing schoolgirl outfits drink free Champagne, does its final edition Sunday night with a Graduation Party. It’s also one of their Dorm Days events, which means there’s a $49 room rate in effect. It’s kind of sad to see it go, but it does open up Naughty Nurse Medical Mondays, or Slutty Cop Costume Left Over From Halloween A Couple Years Ago Tuesdays.

It only took until December, but we finally got a club photo that looks like it was taken about two days after V-J Day. Hopefully 2010 can take it off the boards by at least May.

1213SUN: THE ROUNDUP

Classpic
Ah, the 1970s. When a boy could wear a smock to school and not get beat up. Much.

It’s Class Picture today at Body English’s Sunday School, so you can get in their yearbook. Just make sure you bring a plastic comb and get in your best Owen-Mills pose. Just make sure you ease off on the drinking before it’s photo time. You don’t want to be the this kid of your class pic. Jack LaFleur spins in the Parlor. Click for more words and pictures »

SO LONG, FAREWELL

It was a good run at Body English, but last night Roger Sanchez stood watch over the final edition of Godskitchen at the club before it moves to its new home Thursday nights at Vanity. In a fit of continuity, Sanchez will start party’s Vanity edition Jan. 14. SpyOn has two galleries of the final night festivities here and here, for more than your fair share of angels in fur boots and people dressed like members of the Kansas City Royals.

Wasting no time after dismantling the Raiders on Thanksgiving day, Miles Austin and Tony Romo of the Cowboys were hanging out at the Hard Rock Hotel Friday night with Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford before hitting up Body English. Couldn’t keep it up after beating the Bengals, could you Oakland? Thanks. Thanks for nothing.

Meanwhile, former Van Halen and current Chickenfoot member Michael Anthony was with 10 friends at Sammy Hagar’s Cabo Wabo at the Miracle Mile shops on Saturday. Hagar will be in town Friday for Wabo’s grand opening, and Chickenfoot plays The Joint on Saturday. There is expected to be a citywide tequila shortage on the Sunday following Hagar’s departure.

RIBEIRO DENIES HIMSELF ADULATION AGAIN

Alfonso really needs to learn when to turn to his left. (Photo by Scott Berry. Additional photo by Shane O’Neal.)

Alfonso Ribeiro is pretty down on doing the Carlton Dance in public, which is a shame because if we were Alfonso we’d either breakdance or Carlton Dance into every room we entered. But maybe he doesn’t want to spend his days being greeted with delighted crowds and thunderous applause.

Ribeiro was at Rare 120 inside the Hard Rock Hotel Saturday night, where he was spotted shaking hands with Jason Giambi before heading to Body English, where the Tigers’ Dontrelle Willis was partying.

Choreographer Cris Judd was at Lavo inside Palazzo celebrating his engagement to girlfriend Kelly Wolfe, right around the same time ex-wife Jennifer Lopez was busy falling down on the AMAs. Finally, Kari Ann Peniche, who was in the November 2004 issue of Playboy, was with three friends at Playboy Club inside the Palms.

IT WAS THIS OR A MY LITTLE PONY

Never forget something that once made you smile. That is good advice. Like, we’ll never forget that time that we had two arms that didn’t look like they were assaulted by the most optimistic tattoo artist in the parking lot of a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert.

MCCORD SISTERS TRIPLE UP FOR H’WEEN

The McCord sisters, AnnaLynne, Angel and Rachel were at Tabu inside MGM Grand Saturday night for Rachel’s 21st birthday. We can’t decide if having a Halloween birthday would be awesome or terrible. Terrible, because everyone’s more worried about celebrating other stuff, but awesome because cake made out of candy. Earlier in the day, the girls were poolside at Wet Republic before doing dinner at Fiamma Trattoria.

Colorado slugger and Wasted Space co-owner Jason Giambi was at Body English inside the Hard Rock Hotel. Retired center Jeremy Roenick checked out DJ Kaskade at Blush inside Wynn Las Vegas. The true sports star of the night, though, was Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake at Hawaiian Tropic Zone. He wasn’t rocking any Halloween costume, but we suppose when you’ve spent your life in superboots and carrying hedge clippers everywhere you go, Halloween is overrated.

Holly Madison hosted HollyWeen at Studio 54 as the Queen of Hearts where she judged the costume contest after being lowered onto the stage on an aerialist swing. She found a pregnant Kendra Wilkinson, complete with “Sorry, Hank, it’s Hef’s …” T-shirt; a Spirit of Michael Jackson by Christina Brewer of Mesa, Ariz., that took three months to make; and Charity Hodges from L.A. as a Playboy Playmate.
