Oh, thank God that thing wasn’t loaded with live rounds.

Bobby Brackins, or, Lil Lil Wayne, was at the Palms Pool Friday afternoon with a crew of five before he jumped up to do “143″ for the sunbathing crowd. It’s as close to the Lil Wayne experience as they were going to get until Weezy gets out for good behavior.

Later, Brackins did an encore show at Moon when he turned up there around 1 a.m. Downstairs, the Plain White T’s were on the main stage at Rain to listen to Z-Trip.

Over at the Hard Rock Hotel, Tech 9 kicked back after spending a week shooting a video with a night at Vanity. He was front and center for a master class in contrived nickname by association bandwagoning with Jon “The Unit Manfe, who’s The Situation’s trainer and fitness video. Wait, we’re sorry. We meant Mike “The ‘$5 million, Jesus, really, America?‘ Situation” Sorrentino. Click for more words and pictures »

The Hills is gone but its fashionistas live on and on and on. Stephanie Pratt, who was the cover model for the summer issue of Runway magazine, was at Lavo last night for the issue release party, joining Kristin Cavallari and the mag’s director Nole Marin. There will come a day when the long arm of The Hills can’t touch us anymore, but it’s not going to be until 2028.

Tao had Jermaine O’Neil and Static-X frontman Wayne Static. He made it over to Moon at the Palms where he partied with four friends — including one super-hot chick with sheet-white hair. Comedian and actor Michael Rapaport was also there to see Clipse do “Grinding” around 1:30 a.m.

Finally, Junior Seau was spotted at Caesars’ Munchbar with four friends, sucking down Miller Lites for about an hour.

Larry King, who was around when it was Old Jersey, brought wife Shawn to go see Jersey Boys at Palazzo. Of course, he still thinks of doo-wop as “that damn music the kids won’t stop blaring at all hours of the day and night,” but it’s good to see him get out and try new things. He and Shawn went backstage after the show to meet the cast and make them feel bad they haven’t called their great-great-great-great grandfathers in like forever.

Over at Vanity, the Nuggets’ Kenyon Martin brought 20 friends to the VIP while the Celtics’ Glen Davis had his own crew of a few friends. Also in the club was K-Fed’s brother, Chris Federline. Things are pretty tough in life when your identity is as “K-Fed’s brother.”

Moon at the Palms also drew the NBA, with CJ Watson partying with a group of 10 until 3 a.m. Comic Kyle Dunnigan showed up at the Playboy Club around 2 a.m. before going upstairs to Moon for an hour.

The revolution will be not be teal-ivized.

Pittsburgh Slim joins up at Moon tonight for Bang while Demarco Cruz has Satellite Bar. We need to start going throwback on our nicknames like “Pittsburgh.” It has a certain cachet for the rough-and-tumble blue-collar sort. Who happens to be from Pittsburgh. Click for more words and pictures »

Someone needs to get a plastic surgeon on the phone. We don’t think he’s going to be able to fill out his bikini.

As Jersey Shore gets ready to move into Season 2, and the inevitable send-off of the core guidos for Season 3, it’s going to free up a lot of calendar time for the cast. Over the long weekend, we got three of the four guys, minus the low(ish)-key Vinny.

Even through Tuesday night, DJ Pauly D was spotted at Moon inside the Palms after having dinner with The Situation at Lavo and making a stop at that club. There’s going to come a time of westward migration, maybe for the winter, where these baby birds have to flee harsher climates and find suitable purchase. When that happens, we’ll be overrun. We hope you can learn how to fix an IROC by then. It’s the only thing they understand as currency. Click for more words and pictures »

Jay Z and DJ Franzen admire a new pair of S to the Hizz-oes.

DJ Franzen celebrates his birthday tonight at the Palms’ Moon for Bang! We’re not sure how anyone is still breathing after the three-day weekend, but there you go. If you’re that hardcore, that’s what you have on the table for tonight. If you need us, we’ll be over here, wheezing for air. Click for more words and pictures »

Snooki will be so happy.

From the Dept. of Bound to Happen Sooner or Later: The Guido National Anthem has been put on wax, or whatever the kids with their iTunes and their downloads and their Twitters are calling it these days. HardNox heads up Bang! at Moon tonight to do their “Fist Pump,” while the Satellite Bar gets DJ Purple. Not to be confused with your high school bully, DJ Purple Nurple.
