PAUL WALL AT STRIP HOUSE

Sparkly toothed rapper Paul Wall was at Strip House inside Planet Hollywood Resort last night. That’s how he likes to be referred to, by the way. As the “sparkly toothed rapper.” It gives him extra street cred. “But I came up with Chamillionaire!” Sure you did, but you still Bedazzled your head like a 12-year-old girl on a meth bender.

SEINFELD, PATRICK OUT ON THE TOWN

Tera Patrick was with her husband, former Biohazard bassist/vocalist Evan Seinfeld, at CatHouse inside Luxor last night where they had dinner with chef Kerry Simon. Our favorite Evan Seinfeld moment still has to be (no, not the porn) when he was on Matzo and Metal 2: The Story of Passover, where rockers hold a Passover seder. It’s an idea that so completely shatters the dial for awesomeness that they had to do a second one.

Up the road at Planet Hollywood Resort’s Strip House, Placido Domingo had dinner. We’re still waiting for him to agree to Transubstantiation and Tenors: The Story of Good Friday.

DIRTY SOUTH NEEDS STEAK, TOO

T.I. had dinner last night with the Ying Yang Twins at Strip House inside Planet Hollywood Resort. We’re a little disappointed he didn’t go instead to Social House, because it’s not every day you could see T.I. at the T.I. We can always hold out hope he decides to go see Sirens or something.

GLOVER SETTLES IN AT STRIP HOUSE


Reining in loose cannons since 1987.

Danny Glover had dinner at Strip House at Planet Hollywood Resort last night. Prior to the meal, Glover was heard to sigh loudly, proclaim he’s too old for this shit and protest that he’s only eight days from retirement.

He then left the restaurant to fight the Predator.

TRICK DADDY THUGS UP STRIP HOUSE

Before going on to host at Prive inside Planet Hollywood Resort last night, rapper Trick Daddy had dinner at Strip House. Trick Daddy has released seven albums with an eighth on the way. Of those eight records, seven have the word “thug” in them. You know what, Daddy? We get it. By album, oh, let’s say five, we kind of had a handle on what you’re all about. Look, all we’re saying is Lynyrd Skynyrd didn’t release 10 albums with “Southern” in the title. After “Sweet Home Alabama” hit the airwaves, it was pretty well understood.

MARSHALL SETTLES IN AT STRIP HOUSE

More former Happy Days players should swing by. We’re looking at you, Winkler.

Actor Garry Marshall, in town filming Race to Witch Mountain was dining at Planet Hollywood Resort’s Strip House. The former Laverne & Shirley actor once called out Lindsay Lohan for tanking Georgia Rule through sheer force of reputation alone, which is kind of like blaming the pilots’ uniforms for the Hindenburg, but is still thoroughly awesome nonetheless. In both cases, upon witnessing the event, someone’s going to be screaming “Oh, the humanity!”

BAD GIRL GETS CAKE

La Toya Jackson celebrated her 52nd birthday Friday night at Planet Hollywood Resort, first with a trip to Strip House, then with an appearance at Prive with father Joe, brother Jackie and, naturally, RuPaul.

Why, oh why couldn’t VH1 have been on hand to film La Toya Jackson and RuPaul together for a new series? We’re picturing it as a new tag-team format dating series. Like Flavor of Love, but with better wigs.

Jackson, a former Jehova’s Witness, was presented with her first birthday cake ever. Apparently, this was cause for much excitement, as she jumped up on a couch, waving her hands and yelling. Then again, this is generally our reaction to cake, too. She turned up again Saturday night with Jackie on the red carpet for the Palms Place grand opening.

STARGAZING AT STRIP HOUSE

Danny DeVito is standing behind the table in the back.

Planet Hollywood’s Strip House got the nod recently as a celebrity hotspot by People.com, noted for playing host to Bruce Willis, Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman and other major stars of 1989 like Richard Marx and The Guy Who Played Biff Tannen in Back to the Future 2.

Kidding! The restaurant has hosted other notables including Adrian Grenier, Lil John and John Stewart. Although probably not all at the same table, because we have no idea what they would talk about.

The steakhouse joins with other restaurants and clubs tabbed by the website as hotspots, such as Stack, LAX and N9NE. You can watch the video here.
