Deven May, who gained fame and fortune as Bat Boy in the Off-Broadway musical of the same name, is joining the Vegas cast of Jersey Boys as Tommy DeVito.

May played DeVito in the Jersey Boys national tour. Sadly, no new plans for Weekly World News-based musicals are in the works.

Scott Weiland, fresh off his sauced-up introduction of Pink at the AMAs where he was about one Stoli shot away from booting on the mic, was at Lavo inside The Palazzo last night to celebrate the release of his second solo album, Happy in Galoshes.

Weiland was with producer Douglas Grean and his backing band for dinner before heading up to the club where he drank champagne. We’re sure he thought the champagne was pretty good, but that it could use a little more heroin.

DJ Five spun Weiland’s cover of David Bowie’s “Fame” off the new disc — a track that was produced and mixed by Paul Oakenfold — as Weiland ducked out of the club.

Matisyahu hit up Lavo at The Palazzo Saturday night after his show at the House of Blues, as Lavo is clearly the go-to spot for Orthodox Jewish reggae rappers. He was like the sixth one there that night. Also there was Mechad Brooks of True Blood, marking the second week in a row vampires have been in Vegas.

Brooks did The Bank at Bellagio on Sunday, surrounded by ladies who can’t get enough of pasty dudes. Robert Smith, you’ve found your home.

Meanwhile, Brad Garrett was at Stack inside The Mirage on Saturday before his show, and slugger Frank Thomas was putting a big hurt on Fix at Bellagio. Chyler Leigh of Grey’s Anatomy dined at Tao inside The Venetian. Click for more words and pictures »

Every Wednesday, Lavo at Palazzo brings in DJ Crooked for Label Junkie, its fashion-oriented night of the week. We have this sweet hoodie we got at a Sears and some Lovi brand knock-off jeans, so we’re pretty much guaranteed to be the prettiest girl in school. Click for more words and pictures »

Hanging out with porn stars beats hanging out with Kevin Smith. (Photo by Erik Kabik | Retna)

Zack and Miri Make a Porno’s Jason Mewes and Katie Morgan — herself a porn star — headed up the night at Tao along with Mewes’ fiancee Jodran Monstanto. The trio started at the restaurant before moving upstairs to the nightclub.

They were back at it on Saturday, this time changing positions to Lavo at Palazzo. Jason Mewes was just a schlub from Jersey who happened to know Kevin Smith. This led to him spending nights out with his fiancee who looks kind of like Rosario Dawson and a porn star. We need to get some of our friends to start directing cheaply made, overly talky indie flicks.

Also at Lavo for the second straight day on Saturday was Marlon Wayans, returning even to the same table. Shouldn’t Damon or Keenan have been there to chaperone?

This is why you never go into the club unless you’re sure everyone has had their rabies shots.

Nuns not included at Cut.

Legendary actor Sidney Poitier dined at Cut inside The Palazzo last night. You could even say it was in the heat of last night. Actually, it wasn’t that warm. Crap. You know what? Just go ahead and make your own Mr. Tibbs pun at your leisure.

It’s like “Scarborough Fair” in a glass.

When designing the cocktail menu for Lavo at Palazzo, Director of Beverage Operations Edward Allen wanted to choose ingredients that reflected the Mediterranean theme. It’s a nice little bonus that sage dovetails so neatly into Nevada culture.

It’s even better that it dovetails so nicely into an intensely challenging, interesting and rewarding cocktail. The Saggio (Italian for, uh, “sage”) is one of those drinks you’ll have to dance with several times just to peel back the layers, but we have faith that you’re up to the challenge.

Using muddled sage with Stolichnaya blueberry vodka, a little fresh lemon juice and topped with white cranberry juice on the rocks, the Saggio is a simple, unassuming clear with green flecks of sage offering the only hint of the depth of the cocktail. Click for more words and pictures »

At least Rampage never charged the mound after a pickoff attempt.

Gary Sheffield and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson were both at Lavo inside Palazzo last night, which is a special and dangerous kind of mix-and-match for your crazy. You know how if you’re on antibiotics and you drink booze it just kind of blasts you into outer space? That’s got to be the kind of effect Gary Sheffield has on Rampage when they’re together in the same room. We’re shocked none of the furniture got broken.

When will we ever get over this red booze/blue booze divide?

Republicans will tell you to vote with your head. Democrats want you to vote with your heart. Us? We want you to vote with your liver.

SushiSamba at Palazzo offers up a two-party system of its own with the Maverick and the Obamarama — cocktails designed to grease the wheels of civic duty. Tonight, SushiSamba locations across the country will be keeping running tallies of which drink gets more votes. Although, much like in Chicago, multiple votes will not only be tolerated, but encouraged.

The Maverick is muddled strawberries and sugar with vodka, triple sec and guava juice shaken and poured into a cocktail glass. The Obamarama is muddled lemon and sugar with Pearl blueberry vodka, blue curacao and guava juice, shaken and poured on the rocks in a wine glass and topped with club soda. So you get two choices that are remarkably similar with a few subtle differences? Well this is nothing like an actual American election at all. Click for more words and pictures »
