Holly Madison was at the 51s game to toss out the first pitch in her custom pink jersey. They should’ve made the players go through the game wearing those. It still would’ve been better than these.

It’s the last homestand for the last-place 51s. After Sunday they finish the season on the road, which means, tragically, tomorrow is your last Dollar Beer Night for the season. Making matters worse, there’s rain in the forecast. So you’ll just have to go ahead and drink soggy dollar beers.

Today is National Lollipop Day and Saturday is National Tequila Day. You can probably guess which made-up holiday we like better. Regardless, Holly Madison helped debut three Vegas-themed lollipops outside the future location of the 20,000-square-foot Sugar Factory at Paris Las Vegas. (And this is where we should note Mayor Goodman got his Proclamation notebook out again to name today “Sugar Factory Day.”) What makes them Vegas-themed lollipops? They have little dice or Vegas signs dangling off the stem. Of course they do. It would’ve been a lot harder to make a lollipop that tasted like cheap gin and gambling debts.

Holly Madison marked the debut of her E! Network reality show Holly’s World at Planet Hollywood’s sports book last night, bringing along Angel Porrino, Josh Strickland, Laura Croft and Carrot Top. Does this mean Carrot Top is joining the cast of Peepshow? Because we really don’t want to see Carrot Top in a corset during background numbers. It’ll just be weird when he starts pulling props out of his thong.

Holly Madison took over as the celebrity bunny dealer last night at the Playboy Club’s 50th anniversary party — custom Bedazzled bunny outfit and all — where 50 cities around the world were also marking the night. At the Palms, though, Madison raked in $1,500 in tips in an hour that went to Three Square Food Bank. That’s a solid $3 mil or so a year at that rate. We’d have to quit Peepshow and work full-time in the pit, if it were us.

Among the judges were Ryan Bonnell, a 25-year-old terminal cancer patient who had the trip arranged by the N9NE Group playing a rad round of Make-a-Wish for the Puyallup, Wash., resident. Local Mila Corsunova, 25, won the $1,000 Miss Playboy Club 50 prize.

Madison will be at the Planet Hollywood sports book Sunday night with Angel Porrino and Josh Strickland for a viewing party of the premiere of Holly’s World. Which should be delightful, as Game 5 in the Lakers-Celtics series should just be ending around then. There are going to be some angry, angry people if the game goes to overtime and they switch out half the screens for reality TV.

Nothing in the world is better than piles of clothes on the floor. Unless it’s laundry day. We mean on stage. Nothing is better than piles of clothes on the stage, especially when the mostly naked girl that belongs to those clothes is busy putting the “phallic” in “phallic symbol.” Wait, no. That doesn’t actually mean anything. The point we’d be making here, if we weren’t wasting so much time being flustered, is that the judges picked Roxy D’Lite and her Groucho-Marx’s-Vision-of-Heaven routine as the 2010 Miss Exotic World.

We broke down Saturday’s events earlier, but here’s a look at the whole Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend, including Holly Madison’s visit to, and Mayor Oscar Goodman’s ribbon-cutting of the actual Burlesque Hall of Fame at the Emergency Arts building.

The Lied Animal Shelter brought out 60 dogs to The Orleans, because puppies need to be taught a lesson in secondhand smoke, too. Wait, no. It was for the seventh annual Best in Show fundraiser to benefit The Animal Foundation.

Terry Fator and Holly Madison played host for the event. That’s probably a good call to keep the dogs in line. No terrier wants to wind up as the new puppet at The Mirage. Keep the barking in check if you know what’s good for you. All of the dogs in the show were up for adoption immediately afterward. We’re just bummed we didn’t sneak into the stands with a stack of Frisbees.

Fighter Randy Couture took in the late show of Zumanity at New York-New York Sunday night with a group of friends. At Vanity, former Ravens linebacker Jamie Sharper turned up around 1 a.m. Free agent center Melvin Fowler Jr. was also there, as were Rich Luzzi of Rev Theory and DCMA’s Tal Cooperman.

Holly Madison lit up Twitter when Benji Madden was in town for his boxing match against Riki Rachtman early in April, but her rep played the “just friends” card after the fact.

Now in an upcoming interview with us about Good Charlotte’s June 3 gig at The Joint for the Bamboozle Roadshow, Madden made a de facto confirmation of the relationship, while saying he doesn’t feel the need to come right out and say it in public.

“I think it’s pretty self-explanatory,” Madden said. “I don’t think (public acknowledgment is) necessary. Real relationships don’t happen overnight. Not in a negative way, but I don’t think it has to be done. How can I talk about Holly without sounding like I’m bragging? We definitely haven’t felt the need to tell anyone the details.”

They were first linked in December, and were most recently were said to be sitting hand-in-hand at Wasted Space after Madden’s fight. For the record, Madden said he has no future plans to fight former MTV VJs. Adam Curry, you may now breathe a sigh of relief.

Moon at the Palms debuted its new Tuesday night — Bang! — a retro ’50s sci-fi themed industry night with the brothers Madden and other guest DJs this week. Coming in to kick it off were Holly Madison and her entourage members Laura Croft and Josh Strickland, there for Benji Madden’s turn on the turntables. Madden and Madison were holding hands in the VIP booth afterward, but wouldn’t allow photos. Because their love is secret. As secret as a Jonas Brothers mall appearance.

Former reality show star and personal nurse to Hugh Hefner Holly Madison donated blankets to needy dogs at The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas yesterday. The non-profit organization cares for animals as they await adoption.
Madison visited with the dogs and they seemed very happy to be getting some affection and attention from the current star of Peep Show, though many did seem confused as to why the giant squeek toys on her chest didn’t make any noise when they pushed on them.

The pool season apparently kicked off Saturday with a visit from Kendra Wilkinson and her husband Hank Baskett to Wet Republic Ultra Pool at MGM.
Wilkinson was joined by her former “Girls Next Door” co-star and current star of “Peepshow” Holly Madison at her cabana.
Now, you’re probably asking, what does a talentless set of breast implants attached to a girl who only looks hot when slathered in make-up have to do with the start of pool season? Well, y’know, it’s Vegas. That’s how stuff goes down. Maybe she saw her shadow or something.
Later that night, Wilkinson and Baskett (who supposedly plays in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles though for the life of us we’ve never heard of the guy) attended “Peepshow” and headed backstage, reality show camera crew in tow, to meet with Madison.
Wilkinson’s current reality show “Kendra” began its second season on March 14. That’s right, SECOND season. Thanks America.
