Even Ron Weasley can knock this guy out

Rupert Grint is still in town. Though we probably would be too if girls were hanging off us dressing in slutty variants of costumes from our movies. Also hanging around? Victor Ortiz, and the two of them were at Paris’ Sugar Factory Brasserie yesterday. Turns out, Floyd Mayweather is a little sick of Ortiz saying he got sucker punched.

Oooh, that’s going to make the rematch more interesting when Mayweather needs to find anyone other than Manny Pacquiao to fight.

British R&B songstress Estelle gave a performance at Chateau at Paris Las Vegas on Sunday after energizing her body with a candy-fueled sugar high from sweets at the Sugar Factory American Brasserie.
The Grammy Award-winner enjoyed the cobb salad at Sugar Factory and followed with green tea, a cinnamon and sugar-coated caramel apple and a couture pop before filling up two bags of bulk candy for her friends – sure, Estelle, for your “friends.”
She then took the stage at the nightclub where she performed some of her many hits her hit single “American Boy” and two other songs.

Model, actress and future musician Caroline D’Amore was just one of the celebrities in attendence at Chateau Nightclub & Gardens at Paris Las Vegas last night for Kellan Lutz’s PROJECT afterparty for the spring fashions of the Dylan George & Co. Abbot + Main collections.
D’Amore, a star of the American Film Institute’s No. 2 Film of All-Time*, Sorority Row, was in a VIP booth drinking Grey Goose and cranberry juice and likely just celebrating life itself after surviving her harrowing encounter with Jabberjaw.
D’Amore also stopped by Sugar Factory American Brasserie where she ate the Mediterranean salad and Cookie Jar ice cream sundae before stopping by the retail store where she was quickly carried away by orange dwarves with green hair.
Also seen at Chateau last night were model Brooke Burke and husband David Charvert, actress and nude cellphone model Vanessa Hudgens and music producer and balcony-dangler Suge Knight.

Have you had your recommended daily dose of frosting yet?

Tucked inside the Sugar Factory, the Chocolate Lounge delivers on its nomenclature promise. Chocolate, and lots of it.

That extends to the Ken Hall-designed cocktail menu, with a selection of libations that could endrunken the most finicky of cocoa-frenzied vampires.

It’s a mix of Three Olives chocolate vodka, Godiva whit chocolate liqueur, heavy cream and a white chocolate syrup dyed red, dusted with shaved chocolate and topped off with a frosting rim, to give it that extra level of red velvet cake-iness.

What you get is a drink that’s remarkably smooth and ridiculously rich. It has a mild chocolate kick to it, but mostly you’re taken by its mild sweetness and thick consistency. Think of it as your after-dinner drink and dessert to come in one convenient package.

You know how to whistle, don’t you? You just put your lips together and blow. Pop.

Charms may not have had this in mind when they invented the Blow Pop, but if they had, our life in junior high would have been way more fun.

The Sugar Factory’s candy-colored menu has drinks based on Swedish fish and Lemonheads and Almond Joy, but none pack quite the two-level authenticity punch of the Blow Pop.

Not only does the drink taste like sucking on a lollipop dipped in vodka, but a bubble gum Pop Rocks rim lets you come away with the same Blow Pop experience you had as a kid — chewing on a very small amount of substandard gum. Which, as anyone who ate their share of powdery Topps gum can tell you, is the best gum. (Although if you’re strictly in it to blow bubbles, the Hubba Bubba is garnished with a ribbon of Bubble Tape and rimmed with the same bubble gum Pop Rocks.) Click for more words and pictures »

If you didn’t know who they were, this would almost be wholesome. (Photos by David Becker)

Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz were in full on-again mode Saturday night at the Sugar Factory/Chateau Fortress of Candytude. They started with dinner at the restaurant before heading up to the club, where Jameson was sporting a dress and purse that were birthday gifts from Ortiz.

Also at Chateau for a birthday, Chad Rogers of Million Dollar Listing kicked it with a group of friends. Do real estate agents actually kick it? We have no idea. The only ones we know seem to be middle-aged ladies who are very excited about granite countertops.

Over at Cabo Wabo, Ryan Cabrera and two friends were having a drink on the patio and overheard talking about their plans for Jameson’s party. We assume those plans included “try as hard as possible to film custom, birthday-themed porn.”

Escaping the Hef ordeal unscathed.

Bridget Marquardt was at the Paris Sugar Factory last night and we don’t know if it’s the boob-lifting tight dress or the fact that she isn’t either A) a mom or B) part of the local landscape, but damn if she doesn’t look like of all the Girls Next Door, she’s holding it down the best.

She was there to load up on candy, while singer Kim Sozzi stopped in before her run through Hip House upstairs at Chateau.

It wasn’t all The Situation show this weekend. That would have been far too merciful.

Sammi Giancola was with three friends — and the fact that there are three people willing to spend time with that harpy is stunning — at Cabo Wabo Cantina Friday night. Giancola and Deena Cortese also spent some time at the PH Westgate pool, where Scott Disick was also catching rays. Apparently Chateau didn’t want to put its people up at Paris.

When it came time for Giancola to celebrate her birthday Saturday night at Chateau, she shared the red carpet with Cortese and, we imagine, somewhere, sometime, screaming at someone about Ronnie. Click for more words and pictures »

So, it’s come to this, has it? First The Situation came for our clubs. Now he’s come for our women. It was bound to happen.

When he turned up for the red carpet at Chateau Friday night, Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino had local girl Marcy Depena on his arm. Which means, we believe, that like a baby bird you pet and is then shunned by its mother, she may actually not be allowed back in city limits. We’ll have to place a call to the Mayor’s office to find out what the rule is there.

Sorrentino, sadly, tiredly told the crowd, “What’s up Las Vegas! We got a situation in Chateau tonight.” He stayed on-message by pouring out shots of Devotion Vodka to fans. (“It tastes like wringing out an Affliction T-shirt into your mouth!” enthused one partygoer.)

Also at Chateau, Playmates Jessica Hall and Kimberly Phillips, plus former Hills caster Stacie Hall. Wilmer Valderrama was there with a couple of dudes, while BJ Penn had a table of his own.

Sorrentino also took Marcy Depena to dinner at Sugar Factory, then on a shopping spree inside the store. That’s adorable. Looks like someone was getting the good hook-up pajamas this weekend.

Back for more on Saturday, Sorrentino, his brother and Depena drank mojitos and Coronas in the beer garden. Deena Cortese went with Veuve Clicquot Rose, totally missing the point of the beer garden. Shameful.

The Hall sisters were back, while celebrating Stacie’s birthday, along with Phillips.

The candy store/restaurant/nightclub/beer garden/car detailing/spatula retail megalopolis did its first grand opening Friday night, for Sugar Factory American Brasserie.

Kim Kardashian was the mistress of ceremonies, waving around her 125-carat diamond lollipop. Because it’s about time someone made Caligula and Saddam’s palace designer feel embarrassed for someone else. She brought younger sister Kylie Jenner to get a taste of the Vegas club-appearance lifestyle for the first time.

Getting in on the ruckus were Holly Madison with sidekicks Laura Croft and Josh Strickland. Whitney Port was there for her 26th birthday with boyfriend Ben Nemtin and a bottle of Dom, while Mel B had dinner with Kardashian. Nick Cannon, Robin Antin and Matt Goss rounded out the crew.
