Le Cordon Bleu did its Thanksgiving lunch yesterday, picking up a bevy of celebrity servers to sit tight on pie-handing-out duties, which, as we all know, are the most sacred duties a person can perform. (Take THAT, priests who hear confession or rabbis who perform weddings. Is there pie in a wedding? Check. And. Mate.)

Peepshow’s Holly Madison and Josh Strickland, Jersey Boys’ Rick Faugno, Phantom’s Anthony Crivello, Kristi Holden and Andrew Ragone — plus Mayor Oscar Goodman — came together to feed 40 at-risk students from After School All Stars and 40 disadvantaged seniors meals prepared by students at the culinary school. Our efforts to get our kitchen classified as a center for at-risk youth and have culinary students come over to cook our Thanksgiving dinner failed for the fourth straight year.

Phantom marked three years on the Strip last night with a celebratory cake on stage at The Venetian. Which just goes to prove what they always say: Even horrifically disfigured psychotic kidnappers love cake. No, seriously. Cake is pretty awesome. Actors Andrew Ragone, Anthony Crivello, Kristi Holden and John Leslie Wolf all got in on the curtain call action. If it was us, after the show we’d keep dropping the chandelier over and over again for fun. That thing never gets old.
