Pretty sure this is the Goonies cast reunion photo that Josh Brolin and Sean Astin couldn’t make it to town for. We’re also pretty sure Data just grabbed Mouth’s ass.

Is it us or did Communion get way more awesome? That’s it. We need to go back to church.

Why does the Biz even own other outfits? (Via myspace.com/bizmarkie)

It’s next to impossible to earn a lifetime of goodwill off of more or less one song the way Biz Markie has. You know, unless you’re universally beloved one-hit wonder Eagle Eye Cherry. (Which explains our “Sv 2nght 4eva” tattoo.) But there’s just something about the Biz that makes you want to just, you know, put on a powdered wig and warble off key until the wee hours. Pure at Caesars Palace gives you the chance tonight when The Diabolical will hit the stage. Click for more words and pictures »

For the rappers-in-their-early-20s game, Bow Wow is a veteran who brought his mic skills to Pure at Caesars Palace Saturday nigh–

HOLD UP, HOLD UP. BOW WOW, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SHOW AT PURE, BUT SOULJA BOY HAD ONE OF THE BEST CLUB PERFORMANCES BY A YOUNG GUY OF ALL TIME AT JET IN MAY. OF ALL TIME!

Uhh, OK, sorry about that. It seems Kanye West came in here and jacked the keyboard when we were trying to write about Bow Wow’s Saturday night show –

I’M SOOOOOOOO SORRY TO L’IL BOW WOW HIS FANS AND HIS MOM. I SPOKE TO HIS MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD HAVE SAID.

Really? What’s that Kanye? What did Bow Wow’s mom tell you that your mother would have also told you?

GO AHEAD AND SPEND A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY ON YOUR PLASTIC SURGEON. IT’S WORTH IT.

Noted.

Hang in there buddy. One day you’ll get to wear your mother’s dress to your own wedding.

Sorry gays, Nik Richie is on your side now. We understand this is some devastating news, like when you found out Anderson Cooper was staying in the closet. We know this is going to be a tough period of transition for you all, but eventually you’ll find that being straight isn’t so bad. Even if five years from now you feel deep down that you’re living a lie in your new hetero lifestyle, at least console yourself with the fact that it could be worse. You could be marching arm-in-arm with a three-apples-high Armenian in the hairiest Pride parade outside of Key West’s Bear Week.

Richie was at Pure inside Caesars Palace this weekend for his Dirty Sweet 16 party where the winner, Shawn, walked away with $10,000. We know what you’re thinking and no, in this case, “Shawn” is not a dude.

We’re pretty sure he’d be able to take Moby. (Photos by Ron Koch)

Huh. Daughtry is on their second album already. Did Ruben Studdard even get two albums out? Will Simon Cowell even take that guy’s phone calls anymore?

Regardless, the kind-of rockers did a few songs for the crowd at Pure inside Caesars Palace Saturday night, including “It’s Not Over.” We have a serious question here though: Does the world really need Chris Daughtry, Michael Stipe and Moby? We’ll grant you that Daughtry doesn’t seem to have Moby’s or Stipe’s self-importance or delusions of grandeur, but three skinny, white, bald guy musicians? Can’t we just … we don’t know, roll them into one, or make them fight to see who gets to continue with the musical career and who has to go work IT in a California start-up? You know what? Throw Ed Kowalczyk from Live in there, too. He needs to get in on this. We hate to see this much redundancy in the world.

In the contest for what occupiedour time in ‘96, it’s a tie between her and quoting ‘Tommy Boy.’ (Photo by Erik Kabik | Retna)

Multiple-time Playboy cover model Jenny McCarthy made an appearance at Pure Saturday Night. The costar of such legendary films as BASEketball and The Stupids danced with a group of friends to the beats of DJ Hollywood and was said to enjoy the 80s flashbacks in particular.
Before the night concluded she attempted to hook her friends up with eligible bachelors in the crowd by process of elimination through a series of sexually suggestive questions.

As timeless and classic as a ’70s Astros jersey.

The Today Show made an early morning stop at Pure this morning for a 3:30 a.m. call with Natalie Morales and Amy Robach. It’s kind of a bummer for anyone who wanted to see Matt Lauer get his groove on. Maybe in a shiny shirt and some bad sunglasses. Now none of that, in and of itself, is creepy. But what is completely creepy is this website, dedicated to Morales and Robach crossing their legs. Thanks, Internet. By gum, we think you’ve done it again.

UPDATE: Oh Jesus, God help us all they use that goddamn Black Eyed Peas song as bed music … twice.

Jailhouse favorite DMX is at Pure tonight. We’re not sure what the odds are of him making it out of Vegas without getting caught by the cops with an illegal gun, drugs or like, staging a dogfight right in the courtyard at Caesars. This is also why if DMX ever invites you over to his house for a party, you pretty much have to go. Click for more words and pictures »

You know what’s better than free stuff? When “stuff” equals “booze.” Free booze is the great equalizer between us and the common, garden variety hobo. We’re giving away a bottle to Pure and a bottle to LAX. To get in on it, just shoot an e-mail to win@dailyfiasco.com. We’ll draw two winners at random at noon Wednesday, July 29. You get to choose the day — just no holidays, and if you’ve looted swag off us in the last six months, stand down. We won’t even make you invite us to come with (as devastatingly entertaining, charming and downright handsome as we are, this is your night, and we insist you spend it with your friends — no, no, we’re standing firm on this).
