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.
Now what are they going to do with all those garbage cans? Oh, wait …
Stomp Out Loud is going to be wrapping up at Planet Hollywood on Jan. 4. The show has been at Planet Hollywood since April 2007 and has done more for post-consumer garbage items than Fred Sanford. This may not be the big one, though. The show’s producers are reported to be seeking another venue to continue the show.
Paris Hilton will be on hand at Planet Hollywood Resort tonight for the premiere of Repo! The Genetic Opera, a film about a medical catastrophe in the near future that forces a biotech company to hire repo men for patients who can’t pay the bills on their organ transplants. And it’s an opera.
OK. We’re listening.
Hilton plays Amber Sweet, rival to the heroine of the movie, Sarah Brightman’s Blind Mag. She pays the price for her transplanted eyes by singing opera for GeneCo. Everything about that sentence is so insane that this movie might actually be good, despite a premiere at Planet Hollywood, where movies go to be stillborn. We’re looking at you 88 Minutes, 21, Resident Evil: Extinction and Saw 5.
Also slated for the premiere are Alexa Vega (Spy Kids), Nivek Ogre of industrial band Skinny Puppy, Bill Moseley (Grindhouse), director Darren Lynn Bousman, co-writer Darren Smith, co-writer/actor Terrence Zdunich and producers Oren Koules and Mark Burg.
We’ve been beating the drum as far back as September that the choice was clear in this election. That you needed to vote Apollo/Lando ‘08. Well, for a while, we were a lone voice in the wilderness, but not anymore. Now there’s one man who agrees with us: Billy Dee Goddamn Williams. So, haters? The line to begin sucking it forms to the left.
For your Election Day partying Lavo at Palazzo has an election results soiree from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Planet Hollywood is broadcasting CNN’s election coverage starting at 3 p.m. on their Miracle Mile video screens. The Eagles of Death Metal do a free Election Night show tonight at Beauty Bar, and your “I Voted” sticker can nab you freebies from The Cupcakery or tickets to the George Wallace show at The Flamingo. On Thursday, Poetry at Caesars Palace is planning an Obama victory party. No matter who you choose, we hope you cash in on the promise of abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.
Chingy, bringing camouflage and graffiti together at last.
You’re probably still hung over from Halloween. Lord knows we are. If, however, you failed to consume your body weight in vodka over the weekend, you have a few options tonight. Prive at Planet Hollywood Resort does Money for Nothing tonight with Chingy. Chingy is reportedly working on a new reality show centering on his sister and cousins. So if you were wondering if The Pick-Up Artist 2 represented the absolute nadir of reality television, the answer is no. No it did not. Click for more words and pictures »

Emilio Estevez’s brother and Young Guns co-star Charlie Sheen was at Prive inside Planet Hollywood Resort Saturday night to help Spin City co-star Michael Boatman celebrate his birthday.
The crew started in Robert Earl’s personal suite to watch the bizarre game three of the World Series that ended with a five-man infield and two intentional walks to load the bases in the ninth, which worked out about as well as setting up a pitching machine and daring Ryan Howard that there was no way he could hit a line drive through third-base coach Tom Foley.
Regardless, the crew went from watching the game to wandering into Prive smoking cigars, keeping everything strictly non-alcoholic as Sheen quaffed orange juice while the rest had water. Sheen left the club at 1 a.m. to hop a plane back to Los Angeles to be home with his pregnant wife Brooke who is expecting twins. They’ll be expected to star in Hot Shots 3 sometime in 2030 and spend $75,000 on Heidi Fleiss’s granddaughter around 2032.
We’d love to sit Charlie down and ask him what Tom Berenger was like. Was he nice? Was he funny?
National treasure Charlie Sheen is at Prive inside Planet Hollywood Resort tomorrow night to host. Now, it’s easy to forget now that he’s just cashing a paycheck in Two and a Half Men, but Charlie Sheen is the star of one of the three best scenes in movie history, right behind Sonny in the tollbooth and King Kong taking a dive down to 5th Avenue. We present: Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaugh striking out American League Triple Crown leader Clu Haywood:
Saw 5 marks its world premiere tonight at Planet Hollywood Resort at 7 p.m., followed by an afterparty at Prive. We know it’s hard to tell all those Saw movies apart, but the fifth one is the one where they put the dead horse in an inescapable trap. Click for more words and pictures »
