The Presidents of the United States of America — that’s right, all of them, except that lazy ne’er-do-well Harrison — take the stage tonight at Rio’s VooDoo Beach for a free poolside concert. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the SpyOnVegas.com Open Bar, and the show starts when the free hooch stops at 9 p.m.

PotUSA, you’ll remember, is that band that put out an album with “Lump” and “Kitty” in ‘95, then released five other albums over the next 12 years that you haven’t heard.

After the show, the official PotUSA afterparty is on the roof at VooDoo Lounge.

Not quite as awesome as Fan Man.

Red Bull pulled out all the stops this weekend for the launch of Red Bull Cola, including a parachute fly-by of Voodoo Lounge atop Rio Sunday night by Jon Devore and Charles Bryan. Bryan is a six-time X Games gold medalist, and the pair or members of the Red Bull Air Force. You know who else was in the Red Bull Air Force? Anthony Edwards. At least he was until some hot-dogging pilots couldn’t stay out of a spin and it led to his tragic death due to an ejector malfunction.

Skateboarders Ryan Sheckler and Jereme Rogers were doing their promotional duties Friday night at Hollywood Skatepark (1650 S. Hollywood Blvd.), where they endured a rain delay with 1,100 fans before putting on a demonstration. You know who else is a top rider? Anthony Edwards, who — wait, no, we’re thinking of Christian Slater in Gleaming the Cube. Nevermind.

Curtis Armstrong, the guy who played Booger, is now an expert on the music of Harry Nilsson. Talk about walking the nerd walk.

McFadden’s inside the Rio celebrates no more classes, no more books and certainly no more teacher’s dirty looks with its Naughty and Nerdy School’s Out Bash. Girls dolled up like schoolgirls and guys dressed up like members of the A/V Club can enter to win a three-day cruise along the Mexican Riviera. Guys dressed like naughty schoolgirls, however, aren’t eligible. We’re sure you can find some other time to wear that plaid skirt. Did you lose your suspenders and/or fishnets?

No, no, no, no, no, no, NO. Great. Now we need to scrub our eyeballs out with bleach and steel wool.

No, Stephanie, for the sixth time, it’s not a rohypnol cooler. Would we do that to you? Don’t answer that. (Photos by Scott Harrison)

Playboy playmate Stephanie Larimore was at McFadden’s inside The Rio Saturday night with a couple of childhood friends to do a little dancing on the bar and help judge a blow job shot contest.

Could we just quit it with the “dirty” drinks? We have nothing against them in their own right, but if we have to hear one more meathead make the same tired joke about sand getting in all the wrong places every time some girl orders a sex on the beach, we’re going to throw up in our Manhattan.

In related playmate news (we’ve said before and we’ll say again — you can never have enough) Athena Lundberg celebrated her birthday at Hawaiian Tropic Zone at Planet Hollywood resort Saturday night.

Geez, Tera, if you needed a little help with that, you could’ve called us, you know? (Photos by Scott Harrison)

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly. Tera Patrick has to expand her empire of porn and its related subsidiaries. You wouldn’t ask Caroll Shelby to stop building Mustangs, would you?

Patrick showed off her new Mistress Couture line last night at VooDoo Lounge inside Rio to the delight of fashion aficionados, pornography enthusiasts and garden-variety horndogs (no shame in being the rank-and-file, kids). Now you finally have something to get your grandma for her birthday.

Finding this image marked the first time anyone has searched for pictures of Tera Patrick WITH clothes.

It’s the event so big it needed its own stripper poles — the Official Tera Patrick Lingerie Party (as opposed to all those knock-off Tera Patrick lingerie parties) — tonight at the Rio’s VooDoo Lounge.

Patrick will be showing off items from her Mistress Couture line with the help of additional dancers/models prowling the club. Doors open at 10 p.m., and the line on the balcony to oggle go-go dancers will form sometime around 10:15.

You have to give him this much credit: 17 years after releasing his hit single and 16 years, 364 days and 22 hours after becoming a punchline for everyone from 3rd Bass to Ice-T, Vanilla Ice is still out there doing “Ice, Ice Baby.”

And still, apparently, getting girls to show off the goods for it. At least, that’s what happened Saturday night at the Rio’s McFadden’s, when Ice was apparently a huge hit with a bacherlorette in a beer-swilling competition.

At least he didn’t destroy McFadden’s with a bat.

Shortly after this picture was taken, Vanilla stared longingly at a pair of parachute pants in a store window.

You’ve got your Bogart in Casablanca, you’ve got your Gable in Gone with the Wind, you’ve got your Cooper in High Noon, but if you really want to capture that stoic, hard-but-soulful leading man vibe, you need to look no further than Vanilla Ice in Cool as Ice. See, they called it that because the star was named Vani– well, you get it.

You could even get your chance to ask him about it because Vanilla, who will never escape that name no matter how much he insists on returning to his birth name, Rob Van Winkle, will be on hand at McFadden’s inside the Rio Saturday at 11 p.m. to do all those things he’s known so well for. You know, sending word to one’s mother. Being white. Etc. We hope he plays that song from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.

McFadden’s Restaurant and Saloon inside the Rio attracted all sorts of interesting visitors the last few days, starting with a batch of NASCAR drivers on Thursday night. Racers Mike Bliss and Kenny Wallace, who later appeared for an autograph signing at the Hard Rock Hotel Friday, chilled at McFadden’s with Smash Mouth singer and Las Vegas resident Steve Harwell (whose song, “You’ll Never Catch Me” appears on the soundtrack for IMAX NASCAR 3D).

Things got crazy at McFadden’s Saturday night when Jackass star Steve-O hosted a bash at the venue, with a little help from UFC fighters Kendall “Da Spyder” Grove and Phil “NYBA” Baroni and Steve-O’s bodyguard Reginald Pace.

Steve-O was up to his usual high jinks, dancing shirtless atop the bar with a bevy of excited women, pulling a light fixture from the ceiling to spotlight the crowd, holding the fixture’s hot bulb to his bare chest, unsuccessfully attempting to balance a chair on his chin and, from atop the bar, slamming a wooden bar stool down on the floor.
