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.

STATHAM PREMIERES TRANSPORTER 3


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.

VAMPIRES COME MARCHING IN TO PRIVE

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.

TWILIGHT STARS AT PRIVE


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.

HARRISON FORD SLINGS DRINKS AT PRIVE


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.

ANGEL, MADISON STEAL SHOW FROM PARIS

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.

1103MON: THE ROUNDUP


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 »

SHEEN STAYS LOW-KEY AT PRIVE

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.

SHEEN TO BRING THE HEAT AT PRIVE


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:
