George Harrison’s widow, Olivia, brought her 91-year-old mother a performance of Love last night at The Mirage. She was already in town yesterday for the Carlos Santana Guitar Heaven, which features a Santana version of the late Beatle’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” with India.Arie and Yo-Yo Ma. Who should really do his own solo cover, “While My Cello Gently Weeps.”

Harrison was one of the driving forces in getting Love rolling initially, and said last night’s performance was the most high energy she had seen.

Blues legend and snazzy-ass dresser B.B. King did the first of two nights at his Blues Club last night inside The Mirage. We have no idea where you go to get a metallic jacket and paisley vest, but we’re pretty sure we’re going to be spending the rest of our days trying to find that store.

King is back at 9 p.m. at The Mirage tonight for a second set. If he shows up in just like, an old sweatsuit or something, it’s probably because you can only have so many clothes that are that awesome.

B.B. King kicks off two nights of shows at his eponymous Blues Club at The Mirage tonight at 9 p.m. We saw him at the opening of the venue in December, and the fact that an 84-year-old man can still wail — and chair dance — like that makes us ashamed of the fact that we’re going to be a drooling mess at half that age.

And now, another Great Moment in Dudes Almost Getting Kicked in the Face.

He made the ultimate sacrifice for partying.

It’s been clearly documented that working 9 to 5 is all takin’ and no givin’. It’s in a song, and therefore must be true. But that’s for the a.m. to p.m. circuit. Jet at The Mirage hands out the 9 to 5 awards for those on the nocturnal circuit for the best partiers in the city. Expect Lady Gaga to cover Dolly Parton at any second.

His Holiness KRS-One of preached the Gospel of Hip-Hop last night at Jet inside The Mirage. He even got in a little freestyle time, too, but we suppose that’s what you do when the spirit moves you. You know what would make his hip-hop religion way more awesome? If he threw in some snake handling.

Mike Mills: Big supporter of authentic rap.

KRS-One’s big mainstream crossover moment was in R.E.M.’s “Radio Song.” One of his lines in that tune as “Now our children growing up prisoners, all their lives radio listeners.” Man, he must be laughing his ass off now that radio and the music industry are taking a long hard look at how the horse-and-buggy makers adjusted to life in the 1930s. He’s at Jet inside The Mirage tonight to deliver a blast of hip-hop. Click for more words and pictures »

Jet at The Mirage dips to Round 2 of the $10,000, single-elimination Go-Go Showdown tonight. Only the best of the shaking-it best will be left standing. It’s like March Madness that way, but way, way better. And also, mercifully free of Dick Vitale. Click for more words and pictures »

Take it easy, baby. Make it last all night.

Keep your patriotic fervor going with the All-American Girl Pageant at The Mirge’s Bare today. Nightlife broads solicit votes while the venue holds a backyard barbecue with free draft beer for locals. God. Bless. America. Click for more words and pictures »

Kris Jenner worked in her grandmother’s candle store when she was 10, so retail is in the Kardashian blood. She said so, so it must be true. It also means we have He-Man, Wiffle Ball and Kool-Aid in our blood, but whatever.

Jenner, along with Kim and Kourtney Kardashian were at The Mirage yesterday to announce their Kardashian Khaos store, opening Aug. 21. Does the world need a store full of stuff hand-selected by the Kardashians for a public that, apparently, doesn’t live enough of a Kardashian-branded life? You bet your sweet ass it does.

“You’ll feel like you’re in the Jenner-Kardashian-Odom living room at times, said Tracy Keyser, co-president of store partner TLK Fusion. Click for more words and pictures »
