SUPER CR3W ENSURES MOVES BUSTED

America’s Best Dance Crew season two champs Super Cr3w spent the evening last night in an LAX loft inside Luxor, where they popped and/or locked for the crowd in accord with standards laid out by the Commission for Funky Fresh Moves. Have we hit the official dance show saturation point yet? Or are we waiting for CMT to develop So You Think You Can Hoedown? And with $100,000 and a contract on the line for the winners, do you think there are old-school b-boys who were around the Bronx in the late ’70s who are furious that they had to spin on dirty cardboard on the street instead of making six-figure scratch?

Also at LAX were Antoine Walker of the Memphis Grizzlies and the Pistons’ Amir Johnson of the Detroit Pistons, both partying with their entourages.

MADISON, ANGEL GET CLOSE


If Hef couldn’t get nine out of 10 women he wanted, he might be jealous.

Hugh Hefner’s No. 1 girl Holly Madison hit up Rain at the Palms Friday night, starting around 11 p.m. where she shared a skybox with Paul Oakenfold, who launched his Perfecto residency on Saturday (attended by Tara Reid), and Chewy from Chelsea Lately.

Later in the evening, Madison hung out with Criss Angel at LAX inside Luxor, where Eva Longoria and Wilmer Valderrama were partying. Longoria and Valderrama departed for Noir Bar, but Madison and Angel hung on until last call.

Madison and Angel were also spotted canoodling at CatHouse. Actor Adrien Brody was there as well. Not, you know, canoodling with those two. Just there. Glad we could clear that up. Click for more words and pictures »

KARDASHIANS, BUT NO KIM, AT PRIVE

Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian hosted at Prive inside Planet Hollywood Resort Saturday night, showing up around midnight with a group of 15. The Kardashian brand name is so strong right now among clubs, we’re considering licensing out footage of the O.J. trial and taking in a fee for bringing in Robert K as a host.

The sisters partied until around 3 a.m., with Khloe splitting time at LAX inside Luxor, where she was joined by boxer Zab Judah and Shaun Phillips of the San Diego Chargers. Also there were Minnesota Timberwolves’ Rashad McCants, Antoine Wright of the Dallas Mavericks, the Bucks’ Damon Jones, Juwon Howard and former NBA player Howard Eisley.

Johnson and Phillips also stopped in at Audigier inside Treasure Island with a group of friends. With a weekend that packed, we’d recommend benching Johnson in your Week 1 fantasy matchups

PEREZ GETS AWAY FOR LABOR DAY

Gossip blogger Perez Hilton kicked off Labor Day weekend at Tao inside The Venetian Friday night with a gang that included Jessica Origliasso of The Veronicas and her ex-boyfriend, Azaria of The Follow. No, not Hank Azaria, as completely awesome as that would have been.

Hilton was back on Saturday to set up shop in a private cabana at Tao Beach on Saturday along with Christina Milian. Also at the pool were Brandon Davis, Wilmer Valderrama, MTV UK’s Tim Cash and night vision sex-tape pioneer Rick Salomon.

On Sunday night, Hilton, Origliasso and Azario were at Pure inside Caesars Palace where DJs AM and Jazzy Jeff were splitting turntable duty. Former SuperSonics point guard Gary Payton also had a night out at the club. Click for more words and pictures »

HILTON FETES CLOTHING LINES

Nicky Hilton headed up the celebration of her Chick and Nicholai lines at LAX inside Luxor last night, starting first at Company American Bistro before entering the club, where she was joined by a big crew. Also at LAX was Keyshia Cole, who was with a small group of friends. We’d like to think this disparity in posse size is all that stopped a full blown West Side Story-esque rumble from breaking out.

Michael Jordan and Charles Oakley sat together to drink Cristal, while across the floor Baron Davis of the Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis’ Antoine Walker, Milwaukee’s Tyronn Lue and Damon Jones, Tony Allen of the Boston Celtics, Larry Hughes of the Bulls, Detroit’s Chauncey Billups, Kelenna David Azubuike of the Warriors, Charlotte’s Nazr Mohammed, Antoine Wright of the Dallas Mavericks and Calvin Booth of the Timberwolves all gathered to party and, presumably, open training camp.

Walker and Jones had dinner together at Fix inside Bellagio, while Celtics coach Doc Rivers ate at the sushi bar inside Sushi Roku at Caesars Palace with a friend. Even the owners got into the act, with Suns owner Robert Sarver dining with Palms and Kings owner George Maloof. Click for more words and pictures »

0827WED: THE ROUNDUP


Next to Audigier, Nicky Hilton looks like someone dipped her in flour. (Photo by Scott Harrison | Retna)

Up is down, black is white, dogs and cats are playing together and Nicky Hilton gets to take her turn in the Vegas spotlight instead of her more, er, outgoing sister. Tonight the Billy Carter to Paris’ Jimmy hosts at LAX inside Luxor to celebrate her clothing lines, Chick and Nicholai, as MAGIC rolls to a close and the clothes get rolled tonight. If your designer labels run more toward Izid, Ralph Laufren and Hugo Bass, we’ve still got love for you too. Click for more words and pictures »

LARSON FINDS SECRET ‘STACHE


Sarah Larson, back right, does her thing, but is that blonde in the front doing a Hitler mustache?!

Sarah Larson, in addition to her stop at the new Lavo at Palazzo on Friday night was also at LAX inside Luxor that night where she downed Veuve Clicquot with friends. She also made it to the Playboy Club’s Sunday night Most Glorious, Beautiful, Awesomest Mustache Extravaganza Known to Man Ever. So, score one for facial hair. We’re looking forward to their next bash, “A Restrained Evening with Mutton Chops.”

MMA fighter Frank Mir was also at LAX on Friday, while veteran of that other fight game, Ricky Hatton did a double dose of Pure at Caesars Palace on Friday and Saturday night. Antoine Walker was a table away from Hatton Friday night, while Suge Knight dropped by on Saturday. Knight, wisely, deferred in all matters boxing to Hatton.

Meanwhile, Tao at The Venetian saw Felicity actor Scott Speedman go for dinner, and Tara Reid sit poolside Sunday afternoon at Tao Beach.

RULE TAKES LAX TO SCHOOL


First Eminem, then 50 Cent. His next hip-hop feud? Rappin’ Rodney.

Ja Rule delivered a little show last night at LAX inside Luxor for a crowd that included Memphis Grizzlies player Antoine Walker, and, naturally, Criss Angel who’s reported to be back with Giselle Diaz. Rule and Walker also made a late-night stop at Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas. We’re speculating that the two are so tight only because Walker is such a huge fan of Shall We Dance? (Incidentally, who loses more street cred: Ice Cube for doing family movies like the new one where he teaches his niece to play football, or Ja Rule for appearing in a Richard Gere movie?)

Also at Tryst were Playboy playmates Jordan Monroe (Miss October 2006) and Athena Lundberg (Miss January 2006).

Rule then turned up at Drai’s at Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon to preside over the After Life DJ battle finale that pitted DJ Franzen against DJ Big Dee. Franzen took the crown, with Big Dee forced to leave Las Vegas as the town ain’t big enough for the both of ‘em. Or perhaps we’re making that up. The line blurs so easily.

Demonstrating how, exactly, he do, The Game kept the Summer Surprise Concert Series going over at LAX last night.

Demonstrating what, exactly, she do (with her time), Khloe Kardashian was also there.

HILL CLIMBS INTO PURE


If this face doesn’t melt your little heart, it’s made of stone.

The oddly mesmerizing and attractive Jonah Hill was at Pure in Caesars Palace on Saturday night. Yes, the guy from Superbad and no, we’re not your regular Fiasco blogger. That guy much prefers Michael Cera. We do, too, but baby-fat-face Arrested Development Michael Cera.

Also at Pure were Carrot Top and Criss Angel, who — and we can say this with near certainty – probably spent the night talking about how they’re weirdly attracted to Jonah Hill, too.

Angel and the Top set out for LAX in the Luxor later in the night and Hill followed, probably not carrying a detergent tub full of beer, sadly. Baseball player Shawn Chacon was already there, drinking Patron ahead of the curve. Baseball, curve – that was a pun, guys.
