Well, well, well, you just can’t tell

Get uncomfortably close to Miguel.
“All I Want is You” singer Miguel Jontel comes into Eve at Crystals to do his thing, while Foursquare/Gowalla-esque check-in game that incorporates leveling up, Whrrl, offers the chance for four revelers to upgrade to VIP and meat Jontel. It’s like World of Warcraft for people that hate orcs, and also love hip-hop and R&B, we guess? Click for more words and pictures »

At least Caesars will meet its gravelly quota.
He was just here a month or so ago, but Ja Rule returns today, doing sets at Venus Pool Club and Pure. So if you weren’t sure what Murder Inc. — we’re sorry, just The Inc. — was up to these days, now’s your chance to catch up. Unless you’re a member of G-Unit.

Messy flapper hair is the new handlebar moustache.
California singer/songwriter Ryan Calhoun hits the stage at the House of Blues courtyard tonight for a free show. He’s had his stuff on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Cougar Town, So You Think You Can Dance and One Tree Hill and topped iTunes singer/songwriter chart with “Who We Are.” So if he’s good enough for Courtney Cox, he’s good enough for you.

Who you got? Miss Uruguay? Miss China? Miss Lichtenstein? Is there even a Miss Lichtenstein? We’ll find out tonight when Miss Universe is selected at Mandalay Bay. Actually, we could probably look up whether there’s a Miss Lichtenstein, but we like to imagine that there is. We’d hate to have our bubble burst. Click for more words and pictures »

The 24th annual AFAN Black & White Party goes down tonight at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel to raise money for the AIDS charity. In the mix are Penn & Teller, the Men of X, the X Burlesque girls and the Crazy Horse Paris girls. That’s a charity party, for the record, that pre-dates The Simpsons.
