What? What are you looking at us for? Shouldn’t you already be drunk by now? Fine. If you’re all uptight about it and not nipping Jameson at work, you may need to peek at our guide to St. Patrick’s Day activities. Now get going. All that Guinness isn’t going to drink itself. There are hypercompetitive Irishmen waiting to do that, and they’re taking your pour. Click for more words and pictures »

And with just a quick coat of black dye, becomes your Thanksgiving Sexy Pilgrim outfit.

Finally, someone’s doing something to make miniature, money-hoarding trolls the sexy little creatures they ought to be. Blush at Wynn Las Vegas is tossing $2,500 in cash in prizes to the hottest leprechaun to sport green lingerie tonight for Erin Go Bra-Gh 2. It’s getting your St. Patrick’s Day started the right way — the way that involves a bunch of green lingerie. Actually, that’s how we prefer to start our Memorial Day and Labor Day, too.

Not a girl’s best friend? Robert F. Kennedy, barbiturates.

Diamonds, apparently, are a girl’s best friend. Unlike David Bowie, whose best friends are Diamond Dogs, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar, whose best friend is Dustin Diamond. Ladies can prove it tonight at Jet inside The Mirage, where the gal who collects the most Diamond Dollars nabs a $5,000 gift certificate to the Jewelers of Las Vegas. It’s a vast improvement over collecting the most Diamond Dogs Dollars, which just gets you corpse makeup and a spiky red mullet wig. Click for more words and pictures »

It’s just nothing but soda bread and Jameson’s on the road.

It’s starting to feel a little leprechauny in here. It’s kind of making us want to fiddle and scream about beer and what gits the English are. With only 3 days to go until St. Patrick’s Day, Wasted Space is starting with the Celtic rockers. The Young Dubliners hit the stage with Reckless in Vegas tonight. Continuing their run-up to St. Pat’s, meanwhile, McFadden’s at the Rio is running Bloody Sunday with assorted green beer, car bomb and Irish breakfast specials. Click for more words and pictures »

Just couldn’t resist the Everlast bracelet. (Photo by Erik Kabik | Retna)

If it’s getting close to St. Patrick’s Day, that means it’s time to trot out Everlast for an obligatory “Jump Around” performance. This time, though, he comes with B-Real of Cypress Hill. Well, either way St. Patrick’s Day is going to be about the green, apparently. It’s not just the concert, though — Mandalay Bay Beach is doing an all-day St. Patrick’s Day festival complete with beer garden. Get the whole shebang for $100 or pay $40 for just the brews. The afterparty is at Foundation Room. Click for more words and pictures »

Finally, you can stop the shakes typically associated with Gossdrawl as our very own version of Michael Buble being a version of Harry Conick Jr. being a version of Frank Sinatra, Matt Goss, makes his Cleopatra’s Barge debut at Caesars Palace tonight. Wait, make that The Gossy Room at Cleopatra’s Barge. To be fair, this was all predicted in hieroglyphics. Expected to attend the premiere are Mel B, Natasha Bedingfield, Leona Lewis, Laura Croft, Rita Rudner and Frank Marino. Click for more words and pictures »

To a lesser extent, Asher Roth is like Punxsutawny Phil. If he comes out in March, you know the end of winter is near. And if he’s driving a car, it means Bill Murray is about to crash into a quarry. We’re not sure where this metaphor is going, actually. Back to the point: Roth is bringing his slacker/stoner jams to Tao inside The Venetian tonight. Try to pick a beer bong that matches your shoes.

FACT: The best acoustics for electronic music are in high school gym lockers.

It’s a good old-fashioned Vegas DJ homecoming tonight at Tao. (Which reminds us: We need to go home and make Old-Fahsioneds as soon as possible.) The Crystal Method gets mixed up in a DJ spin-off with Kid Capri and Keys N Krates for an official Nightclub & Bar throwdown. Now if you’ll excuse us, us and 1998 need to go throw on The Replacement Killers to watch Chow Yun Fat murder the crap out of everyone to “Keep Hope Alive.” Click for more words and pictures »

Bust out your boy, Rudolf!

Kevin Rudolf is a failure as a co-artist. Here Lil Wayne went and made him a star with his guest spot in “Let it Rock,” and how does Rudolf repay him? He lets Weezy rot in a New York jail on a trumped-up gun charge. A real friend would be down there with a delicious pineapple-upside-down-file cake. Or dynamiting out a wall and hauling it clear on his horse with a rope tied to the bars. At least we assume escaping from modern prison is exactly like Yosemite Sam busting out of jail. Anyway, Rudolf is at Blush inside Wynn Las Vegas for the record release of his new single “I Made It.” Click for more words and pictures »

With that bite she’s going to turn into a Carrot Top, hungering only for brains and props. (Photo by Hew Burney | SpyOnVegas)

Eve went into charity mode on Saturday night, donating 100 percent of the $25 cover to the Red Cross to aid relief efforts for the victims of the Chile earthquake. On hand to host a charity raffle were Criss Angel, Fantasy’s Angelica Bridges and Carrot Top. Angel, for his part, said “I’ve seen all these poses” when it came time to auction off an autographed Holly Madison calendar. So, you know. Classy.

Rob Schneider was over at Planet Hollywood’s Strip House, snapping a couple of pictures with fans. Jerry Tarkanian settled in at N9NE Steakhouse with a group of 10.
