The real Paul Wall was there, we just thought you should know there’s a Paul Wall bobblehead. (Via myspace.com/paulwall)

Sparkly toothed rapper Paul Wall was at Strip House inside Planet Hollywood Resort last night. That’s how he likes to be referred to, by the way. As the “sparkly toothed rapper.” It gives him extra street cred. “But I came up with Chamillionaire!” Sure you did, but you still Bedazzled your head like a 12-year-old girl on a meth bender.

Sly Stallone came out to celebrate the release of Transporter 3 along with star Jason Statham Friday night at Planet Hollywood Resort, because hey, it’s got to be at least as good as Cliffhanger, right?

They partied at Prive where Stallone fired up a cigar and hit the dance floor while Statham chilled at the table until 4 a.m. The movie hits theaters this Wednesday, where its target demo of 16-year-old boys is going to be severely impacted by those same boys’ girlfriends dragging them to a fourth screening of Twilight.

We thought this movie was going to be about the beaming device on Star Trek.

The Planet Hollywood Resort Movie Premiere Train just don’t slow down none. Tonight the hotel debuts Transporter 3, the third installment of the series in the highly prestigious Second-Rate Bourne genre. Our money is still on Repo! The Genetic Opera for Planet Hollywood-premiered movie that will be the least terrible.

Jason Statham will be on hand to walk the red carpet for the afterparty at Prive. Hopefully, he’ll have to scissor-kick someone who gets in his way.

All she wants to do is ziggah ziggah zig, peep.

Peepshow, the upcoming production slated to replace Stomp Out Loud at Planet Hollywood Resort announced its two main players today: Dancing with the Stars season one winner Kelly Monaco and Melanie Brown, better known as her nom de girl group, Scary Spice.

It’s a solid choice. In drunken Friday night debates during college of “Which Spice Girl do you most want to bone,” Scary always finished ahead of Ginger and Sporty, even if she was behind Posh. By the way, we went to college in 2006. That’s kind of a weird debate to still be having, but when the only DVD you have is Spice World, let’s see what you come up with.

Tickets go on sale today for the show, which will make its official open on April 19. The show was first conceived 12 years ago, and Broadway director Jerry Mitchell, whose credits include Legally Blonde, said he’s been wanting to bring an adult show to the Strip. The story opens with a lonely Monaco coming home from work, falling asleep reading a book and waking up as Little Bo Peep in a fantasy world where Brown teaches her how to embrace her inner sexy. So basically, it’s a garden variety Saturday night for us. Click for more words and pictures »

The less weird half of Outkas, Big Boi, hosts at Prive inside Planet Hollywood Resort tonight. Big Boi has a solo album coming out next year called Sir Luscious Left Foot, but we’re waiting for his hip-hop/swing collaboration, Big Boi Voodoo Daddy. Click for more words and pictures »

Ashley Greene, Billy Burke, Kellan Lutz and Peter Facinelli of I Was a Teenage Vampire flick Twilight were at Prive inside Planet Hollywood Resort Saturday night. Greene hit the dance floor while the men folk got down to the serious business of drinking with the standard issue Grey Goose, Patron, Veuve Clicquot and Dom Perignon. Oh, and a giant glass of blood. Wait, we’ve probably said too much.

Vanquished UFC middleweight Nate Quarry was also there to drown his sorrows after losing to Demian Maia via submission.

Vampires. Goddammit.

If we never have to see another damn vampire movie again, it won’t be too soon. But some Hollywood a-hole decided to go ahead and make Twilight even though we all know that ever since John Carpenter’s Vampires all other vampire movies have been completely superfluous. Once you’ve put James Woods into a vampire flick, there ain’t nowhere to go but down.

Anyway, the cast of this young-adult-Anne-Rice flick, Peter Facinelli, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene and Kellen Lutz will be at Prive inside Planet Hollywood Resort tomorrow night. Whatever. We’ll get excited when they’ve got the cast of From Dusk Till Dawn coming in. And they’d better have Selma Hayek doing her snake dance.

HOLY CRAP HAN SOLO IS TENDING BAR.

Indiana Mother f@#%ing Jones was in the house Saturday at Prive with girlfriend Calista Flockhart to celebrate a friend’s birthday. How the DJ refrained from playing nothing but John Williams music is beyond us. We’re glad we didn’t know about this in advance, because we probably would have made one of our friends come with us dressed as a wookiee — but then again, that sort of thing probably happens to Harrison Ford all the time.

We’re also at a loss to explain how Ford can go to a bar without busting the place up and then apologizing, “Sorry about the mess.” It’s kind of his thing.

Ford started out drinking Grey Goose on the rocks before switching up to vodka/Red Bull. Flockhart stuck with wine. They took off around 1:30 a.m. while the rest of their crew stayed until 3 a.m. The only bump came after Ford left when someone in his group opened the Ark of the Covenant that he had left behind. We think you know how that went.

Also there was Chase Johnson of Laguna Beach, who never single-handedly beat president-hijacking terrorists at anything.

Pimp My Ride’s Mad Mike hosted a SEMA party last night at Hawaiian Tropic Zone inside Planet Hollywood Resort. MTV totally should’ve seized on this SEMA opportunity to do Pimp My Ride on location from Vegas because we’ve got this … uh, friend … who could use an Xbox 360 installed in their trunk for no good reason whatsoever because who in the hell has time to hang around in their car playing Rock Band?

Meanwhile, over at N9NE Steakhouse inside the Palms, Nick Hogan had dinner with a friend where he stuck to soda over booze; and Ludacris was in filming a segment for BET with five friends.

It was dueling celbucouples last night at the premiere of Repo! The Genetic Opera inside Planet Hollywood Resort with Paris Hilton and Benji Madden going head to head with Criss Angel and Holly Madison.

Hilton and Madison got things going with an afterparty with the cast at Prive with Paris occasionally hopping up on a couch to dance, but Angel and Madison upped the ante by making out after a few drinks and sharing a lollipop.

They even kept it up at Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas for some more PDA as Angel fed Madison strawberries. Nauseatitastic! Of course, Madison says she’s in love with the illusionist, so everything’s just puppy dogs and rainbows.

Also in the crowd at Tryst were Gary Sheffield hanging out with the Cowboys’ Tank Johnson, boxer Miguel Cotto, MMA fighters Dan Henderson and Jay Hieron and rapper Too Short.
