0905FRI: THE ROUNDUP

Regulators, mount up. Warren G lets you know what’s up with the two-one-three tonight at Jet inside The Mirage when he dials it back to the mid-’90s for a dose of West Coast g-funk that hasn’t been seen since Dr. Dre grew to 30 feet tall and rampaged through Fremont Street. Or was that just one of our completely awesome fever dreams again? Click for more words and pictures »

FSAS TAKES OVER JET


Travis Barker will stare straight through your soul.

Last night’s Famous Stars & Straps party at Jet inside The Mirage drew the top talent in professional sports — in 1989. Mike Tyson and Michael Jordan were there in separate parties. Hip-hop duo The Cool Kids — Antoine “Mikey Rocks” Reed and Evan “Chuck Inglish” Ingersoll — performed. We’re not positive why Jordan is milling around for MAGIC week, unless maybe Hanes sent him here to scout out the men’s underwear competition. It’s a little-known talent he had back in the day. He always used to break down Hakeem Olajuwon’s game just by scoping out the man’s drawers.

STRAIGHT FROM THE CONTINENT

It is a fashion week here, so the Eurotrash Exchange Program is in full effect. Somewhere in a Milan club, there’s a kid with frosted tips and a popped collar working the crowd.

MAGIC is kicking the festivities into high gear right off the rip with a pair of fashion-friendly parties tonight at Jet inside the Mirage. Areli “Texas” Garcia hosts a hoedown sponsored by Leg Avenue while 3400, the house music party at the club does it up as a MAGIC Hipster soiree. We’re very fashion-conscious, so we’ll be wearing only the finest Hypercolor T-shirts to these affairs. Click for more words and pictures »

JET FINDS LOVE WITH LAKE


Ambre Lake wants to know: Why so serious?

Rock of Love 2 champeen Ambre Lake hosted at Jet inside The Mirage Friday night. We’re not sure if she’ll turn up on Rock of Love 3 (Working title: Brett Michaels and the Amazing Technicolor Skank Bus) or the inevitable I Love Money 2 but we’re pretty sure Lake’s VH1 days aren’t completely behind her just yet.

In competing Hey-Didn’t-You-Used-To-Be-On-TV news, Montel Williams played poker at the Hard Rock Hotel’s new room on Friday night. Say what you want about Montel, but at least he never banged one of the girls from Vixen.

AMBRE KEEPS RoL PRESENCE STRONG

Rock of Love 2 winner Ambre Lake, the girl Bret Michaels still isn’t over, hosts at Jet inside The Mirage tonight. We know what you’re thinking: “Aren’t her 15 minutes up yet?” Look, when you make the kind of splash in the public eye that only true love between the host of a local, syndicated television show and the frontman of an ’80s glam metal band can, your 15 minutes are never up.

NEW BLOCK, SAME KIDS


Donnie, what the hell happened, man? You look like you’re going to cry out the lyrics to ‘Hangin’ Tough.’

The New Kids on the Block are clocking in just shy of 40 and will still be trotting out “The Right Stuff” on tour. Ready to hang yourself yet? We thought so.

Donnie Wahlberg celebrated his 39th birthday at Jet inside The Mirage Saturday night, reflecting on a simpler time. And easier time. A time when five white kids could release this on their debut album and not have it sink their career.

Donnie was joined by Joey McIntyre and Danny Wood, who serenaded their bandmate with “Happy Birthday” and not, disappointingly, “Step by Step.” They did, however, have the new NKOTB single called, uh, “Single” played through the club. They said they expect big things by follow-up tracks, “Song,” “Tune” and “Ditty.” Click for more words and pictures »

BEST OF THE BREAST


You’ve got to admit, he does good work.

Dr. 90210’s Dr. Dean Manus hosted Boobs or Bust 3 at Jet inside The Mirage last night, drawing not only a bunch of ladies looking for free fake funbags (alliterative!), but the kind of celebrities who want to hang out with the kind of girls desperate for plastic cans.

Orlando Jones (not to be confused with mob-clobberer Black Belt Jones), Tyson Beckford, poker player Daniel Negreanu and Alfonso Ribeiro all showed up. We’ll let you guess which of that crew did the Carlton Dance, but it’s not who you think. We’re looking at you, Negreanu.

OLD GUY. SHINY SHIRT.

This is like looking into some weird, dystopian future of a world where Zombie Coolidge seizes control of the White House and develops a fondness for electronic music.

0811MON: THE ROUNDUP


Yarrrr! Thar be sweater puppies! (Photo by Hew Burney | SpyOnVegas.com)

Fake boob giveaways are the new black, apparently. If, you know, black involved cutting and silicone. Anyway. Jet inside The Mirage is holding Boobs or Bust 3, where lucky ladies can win $5,000 toward stretching out all their old T-shirts courtesy of Dr. 90210’s Dr. Dean Manus. We’re sure they’ll take the five large and spend it on education, though. Click for more words and pictures »
