MIGUEL CROONS AT EVE


Spiritual heir of “Smooth Operator.”

Wow, with the baldness and the shades and the checkered neckwear, he really looks like a junior Cee-Lo, doesn’t he? Anyway, Miguel Jontel was at Eve inside Crystals last night to lay down the jazzy “All I Want is You” along with a, if you watch the video, way-into-it bass player. He sounds kind of like a male Sade. We’re not sure anyone would want to be described as “the male Sade,” but there it is.

0901WED: THE ROUNDUP


Get uncomfortably close to Miguel.

“All I Want is You” singer Miguel Jontel comes into Eve at Crystals to do his thing, while Foursquare/Gowalla-esque check-in game that incorporates leveling up, Whrrl, offers the chance for four revelers to upgrade to VIP and meat Jontel. It’s like World of Warcraft for people that hate orcs, and also love hip-hop and R&B, we guess? Click for more words and pictures »

0811WED: THE ROUNDUP


Irony!

Double your chance for fashion-inspired nightlife tonight with French Connection UK doing the Label Junkie live fashion show at Lavo inside Palazzo tonight. Eve at Crystals counters with local “girly girl and gogo gear” boutique Vavoom showing off its bikini line, with gift certificates going out to ladies. Click for more words and pictures »

KNICKS’ RANDOLPH DOES 21ST


So, we’re assuming the tat says, ‘Classy?’

Knicks forward Anthony Randolph ushered in his era of legal drinking with Ciroc and Patron at his 21st birthday party last night at Eve. There was a lot of speculation that LeBron was going to come to the Knicks’ party, but then decided at the last minute he would rather hang out at Mansion. It’s a bummer, too, because a lot of New Yorkers had high hopes that LeBron would show up for cake.

Meanwhile at the Palms, poker pro Tom Dwan was at N9NE Steakhouse, while DJ Jazzy Jeff was at Nove Italiano.

THE NEW … CHAMP?

The deathly pallor adds a nice, realistic touch, but we’re pretty sure we don’t get the UFC gloves. Unless Georges St-Pierre is going to start incorporating sequins into his Punching People in the Face routine.

BUSTA SENDS MIXED MESSAGE AT EVE

Busta Rhymes broke brand loyalty Saturday night at Eve inside Crystals. He was dancing around with a bottle of Patron while he did “Pass the Courvoisier.” That’s just terrible. Tequila and Cognac don’t mix well a little bit. It doesn’t mean we won’t drink it because Busta told us to, but we aren’t going to like it. He also did “Touch It,” “Stop the Party,” “Ante Up, “Put Your Arms Where My Eyes Could See and “All I Do is Win.”

Over at Tao Beach, Vienna Girardi from The Bachelor hung out with Mark Salling from Glee while LMFAO played. They hit up Dos Caminos for dinner and then ended at Lavo, without once ever breaking out into song. Also in the club were Tapout’s Punkass and Skyskrape, plus UFC 116-winning fighters Chris Lytle and Stephan Bonnar. Victoria’s Secret model Marisa Miller had dinner at Tao, while Entourage’s Rex Lee was upstairs in the nightclub to listen to Paul Van Dyk.

Doyle Brunson had his annual World Series of Poker kickoff party at Blush, where 21-year-old $1.3 million and bracelet winner got to go get served magnums of Dom Perignon, because it’s already not good enough to be a millionaire at 21. Shanna Moakler and Trishelle Cannatella were both there for the party, as were players Phil Hellmuth, Todd Brunson, Mike Sexton, Hoyt Corkins, Liv Boeree, Jeff Madsen, Bryan Devonshire and Shaun Deeb.

FLAV E. FRESH

Flavor Flav came to check out Doug E. Fresh at Eve inside Crystals last night. So you have a hypeman on one side and a beatboxer on the other. We actually like this concept for a group. Throw a DJ and a few dancers in there, but just never bring in a lead MC. They could be the Anti-Wu Tang Clan. Actually, hip hop without a lead MC would be like every Ja Rule show ever.

EVE DOES BIRTHDAY, BUNNIES

Playmate of the Year Sara Jean Underwood and Playmate Kelly Carrington did the Bunny Bash at Eve inside Crystals Friday night and were so thorough. Crucial attention to detail? Playmate DJ Tamara Sky. We always appreciate when people are thorough.

The operation drew out several of the NFL players hanging around town this weekend, including Terrell Owens, Green Bay’s Nick Barnett, who was celebrating his birthday, plus the Bills’ Keith Ellison, Baltimore’s Terrell Suggs, the Texans’ Zac Diles, Elvis Dumervil of the Broncos and hoops players Jermaine O’Neal and Rudy Gay. T.O. got in the booth with DJ Franzen to do a set. Wait, there’s a club song called “Someone Please Give Me a Job With a Young QB Who Can Be Easily Intimidated?”

The next night, owner Eva Longoria Parker had a birthday party for her husband, Tony. He brought in DJ Cut Killer from Europe and told the crowd he doesn’t drink much during the season, but that he was going to cut loose that night. Huh. Apparently he didn’t go to the Ron Artest and Antoine Walker School of NBA Conditioning.

CELESTE EXPLORES PIRACY AT POOL

Oh, if Henry Morgan were alive today he’d be … some kind of horrific zombie, or mummy-pirate or something.

Mummypirate

Exhibit A.

The real-life inspiration for Captain Morgan celebrated his 375th birthday with his rum-soaked analogue standing in at Tao Beach Saturday night as Arianny Celeste celebrated her current Maxim cover by doing what she does best — appearing in a bikini and making it impossible for us to focus on anything we were doing. We covered up all the hand-shaking caused by being around that kind of hotness pretty good though. We told everyone it was because of the DTs. (Note: We are terrible at cover stories.)

LA LA DOES BACHELORETTE LORETTE

Flavor of Love hostess and future basketball wife La La Vazquez got the Kardashian treatment for her bachelorette party when Kim brought her and Kelly Rowland to Tao at The Venetian Friday night — TV cameras in tow — to celebrate her pending nuptials to Carmelo Anthony. Those nuptials are pending so hard they had to send out a Ralph Wiggum-esque wedding invitation months ago. That’s how you know it’s love … or holiday-themed candy.

They hung out in the private dining room while Kardashian and Rowland gave advice to Vazquez. You know, the people famous for breaking up with her allegedly abusive husband, sex tape impresario Ray J and Reggie Bush on the one hand, and for not being a part of Destiny’s Child anymore on the other. In other words, girls who know a thing or two about making things last.

Meanwhile, Karashian’s mom Kris Jenner celebrated Mother’s Day Saturday night at Eve inside Crystals. She said her daughters gave her some tips to make sure she enjoyed herself (“Don’t marry Scott Disick.” “Make sure you at least get Super Bowl tickets out of anyone you might hook up with.” “If you’re going to get with a Laker, make sure it’s at least Pau Gasol.”

Jenner, we are told, reminded everyone that “what happens in Vegas ends up on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” Really. That is allegedly a thing she said. An actual human being and not the E! marketing department dressed like a robot. Imagine that.
