When convicted felons run wild over you?
Hulk Hogan brought his son, Nick, to the Hard Rock Hotel today. The duo will be at the hotel through the week. Wonder how that New Nick … or Something reality show is going? Ah, well. We prefer to remember the Hulk in happier times. Times narrated by Jesse “The Body” Ventura and Gorilla Monsoon. Also at the Hard Rock was Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, who’s had his own car-related problems, eating lunch with two friends at Pink Taco.
Meanwhile, over at Social House inside Treasure Island, Alaskan gap-toothed yodeler and poetry writer Jewel had dinner last night.

Before surprising the Panic at the Disco lads, Pete Wentz had dinner at N9NE Steakhouse inside the Palms last night with a group of six, in and out in an hour. Wentz had oysters, a Caesar salad and Ketel One with grapefruit soda.
All-Star Baron Davis of the Clippers, meanwhile ate with a friend at Social House inside Treasure Island on the patio. We kind of wish they had all dined together, as it’d be fantastic to see pro baller Davis standing next to all-of-5-foot-6 Wentz. They could go as Boris and Natasha for Halloween. It’d be great.

Dignity not included.
Celebrating the launch of her footwear line last night, Paris Hilton hit up Pure in Caesars Palace, where she – we’ll say, “regaled” – the crowd with a performance of her song Stars are Blind. The performance doubled as her grand entrance and Hilton also went on to offer the masses her own take on Rod Stewart’s Do Ya Think I’m Sexy.
Before flexing her vocal muscles, Hilton stopped in at Social House in Treasure Island for some sashimi and Grey Goose, which is exactly what Etta James used to throw back before belting one out.
Also spotted at Pure were Bayside High School Principal Dennis Haskins and Danger Mouse of Gnarls Barkley.

It can’t be that great in Beverly Hills, as star of the soon-to-come and soon-to-go new 90210 series, AnnaLynn McCord, picked Vegas as the venue for her 21st birthday. We can only assume the Peach Pit was full up.
McCord started the day in a VIP cabana at Venus Pool Club at Caesars, where basketball player Shawn Marion and boxer Sergio Mora were also spotted being model citizens.
With an entourage of family and friends on her heels, McCord, who has also done work on Nip/Tuck, stopped at Social House in Treasure Island for yellowtail jalapeno and Kobe sliders before sashaying over to Pure, also at Caesars, where an amazing remix of the 90210 theme song, complete with fist-pumping, was not played. McCord was spotted at Venus Pool Club again on Sunday.

Pure is well-equipped to bring the blitz.
San Diego Chargers linebackers Shaun Phillips and Stephen Cooper were at Pure inside Caesars Palace last night to check out the turntable work of DJ Hollywood. No word on how many times Phillips had to explain to fans that he wasn’t Shawne Merriman.
Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson were at Social House inside Treasure Island where they worked their way through sashimi and sake. We can only hope she was there scouting locations for a sequel to Zombie Strippers.
Over at the Hard Rock Hotel, Young and the Restless actor Shemar Moore settled in for a little blackjack.

Why yes, he DID bring the drum kit to the restaurant. Why do you ask? (Via myspace.com/hellyeah)
Pantera and Hellyeah drummer Vinnie Paul was at Social House inside Treasure Island last night for dinner with a group of friends that included Carrot Top for coconut lemongrass soup, shrimp, tamarind short ribs and tuna battera rolls. Which, to be fair, Battera sounds like it would be a sick metal band for Paul to join.
We’re still a little puzzled by those guys hanging out. We think it means either Paul is going to start working out like a fiend, or Carrot Top is going on tour with Meshuggah this summer.

Linebacker Junior Seau, late of the 18-1 New England Patriots (Did we mention they were 18-1? They definitely were 18-1. Because they lost. To the Giants. In the Super Bowl. No, that won’t ever get old, but thanks for asking.) spent Monday afternoon drinking Corona and Southern Comfort at the Venus Pool Club at Caesars Palace in a VIP cabana.
From there, Seau and company went over to Social House for dinner on the patio, sake bombs, and quiet jealousy over the fact that Amani Toomer and Eli Manning have Super Bowl rings.
Zowie Bowie was also spotted at Social House Monday, while other local fixtures Carrot Top and Mike Tyson made it to Pure last night. Much like Seau and teammate Rodney Harrison, neither Carrot Top nor Tyson were able to subvert fate, destiny and an acrobatic David Tyree in front of 70,000 screaming fans on Feb. 3.
