The Ronnie-Sammi-JWoww threesome nobody demanded.
Ronnie and Sammi episodes were to Jersey Shore what Kate episodes are to Lost: An interminable slog to get to the good Snooki and/or Locke stuff that got you tuned in in the first place. Saturday night at Jet inside The Mirage, America’s least-compelling dysfunctional couple come in, leaving Snooki, Vinnie and, to a lesser extent, Angela, as the only Shore-ites left to secure hosting duties in town.
We’re at what has to be the nadir of the Jers news cycle, when the bright dawn of the first season has faded but with the promise of a fresh Season 2 start still agonizingly months away. And Pauly D can have his DJ residencies, and The Situation can have his lollipops and JWoww her clothes, but (crushingly bad George Lopez Oscar movie adaptations aside) it’s Ronnie and Sammi that are carrying the torch of relevancy for the Shore.
They’re the only ones who have clung fiercely to the tabloid-trash roots of the show. Witness: Ronnie’s making out with another girl. There’s today’s lawsuit revelation fueled by Ronnie’s homophobic taunts the night of the on-show Boardwalk fight. And of course, there’s the very are-they-or-aren’t-they nature of Ronnie and Sammi’s relationship. They’re pure. They’re free of ulterior motive and agenda. They’re just one guido manchild and his horrible, shrewish guidette girlfriend doing what they do. Ronnie and Sammi might be the least watchable part of the Shore, but more than anyone else, they are the Shore.

Their first love may have been the sea, but their second love was the kind that dare not speak its name.

General Larry Platt was totally That Guy. He was wearing his own T-shirt at his show Friday night at Jet inside The Mirage. Look, we all know that the clock is ticking, but at this point, are you going to move any more units if you eschew your own brand for a nice, say, Raising Hell shirt?
Still, the General was like a kid in a candy store Friday night. A kid without pants. SpyOn has the complete breakdown. He was also spotted at B.B. King’s Blues Club at The Mirage running around the club and taking pictures.

It’s a little more raw than the subtle, graceful Neil Young cover.
There’s going to come a point during tonight’s General Larry Platt performance at Jet where someone is going to drop trou and waddle around in their boxers in front of their friends. This will be hilarious to people who’ve just downed about a third of a bottle of Grey Goose. Meanwhile, the rest of us will all die a little inside. Except for those of us who are bastards enough to snicker at old people who put themselves in the middle of ritualistic laughing-at-you-not-with-you humiliation for the sake of a few dollars and a few million YouTube hits. You don’t take a gig at the whorehouse then complain when the johns don’t bring you flowers. Click for more words and pictures »

Come on Barbie, let’s go party.
It’s a message for the children: Plastic Makes Perfect. Tonight at Jet inside The Mirage, the girl who collects the most Doctor Dollars wins $5,000 and a consultation with Dr. 90210 of Beverly Hills. And really, who doesn’t want to do their level best to look just a little bit more like Heidi Montag? (Seen here last week in Las Vegas.) Click for more words and pictures »

Kourtney Kardashian hosted a party for her fashion line, Dash, Friday night at Jet inside The Mirage along with babydaddy Scott Disick, who took a page out of the Christian Bale playbook before he got dressed Friday night. Look at him. You can tell he agonized over his business cards before he settled on “bone.”
Over at XS, Ryan Seacrest dropped by for a stop at the owner’s table after having dinner next door at Botero. Also at the Encore spot were Tony Davolani of Dancing with the Stars and Full Throttle Saloon owner Michael Ballard. The Raiders’ Kirk Morrison came by to say hello to them. Ballard went with dinner at Botero, while Davolani saw Le Reve and ate at Sinatra.
Hines Ward had dinner at Nove Italiano inside the Palms before heading up to the Playboy Club, and then moved it over to Rain where the Rev. Run was on stage during Revolution. We saw someone rocking a Jam Master Jay at MAGIC last week, which was completely awesome, and makes it even more sad and poignant that Run was in full-on Adidas for his show. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we pretty much have to go listen to Raising Hell right now. Click for more words and pictures »

Well, let’s see. If she’s a cop, then she probably carries Mace, and the robber probably has a gun, and … well, there goes our dating strategy then.

See? Robbers are totally hot.
Jet at The Mirage is handing out $5,000 to the hottest cop and robber tandem tandem tonight. Which is good a reason as we’ve heard lately for a bunch of girls to run around handcuffed to each other. It’s right up there with “Because we fell asleep and those are the kinds of dreams we have” and “There was an L Word convention in town.” Click for more words and pictures »
