BRAVO STAR SWINGS BY TABU

Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing co-host Madison Hildebrand was at Tabu inside MGM Grand last night for the official 2010 GLBT Nightclub & Bar event along with friend Mervat Berry. Earlier in the day the real estate agent was was scoping out residential units at CityCenter. Hildebrand also posed for Playgirl, which puts him in the lofty company of Levi Johnston. Man, how many innocent dudes who just wanted to flash their dong for money are forever going to be lumped in with the guy who had questionable enough taste to hook up with Sarah Palin’s daughter while also lacking the sense to pull out?

Meanwhile, over at N9NE Steakhouse, Joe Montana had dinner with five others. The good thing about having Montana in for dinner if you’re Chef Barry Dakake is you can ask him if he likes his steak, and you know you’ll get a completely sincere answer. And that answer? He’ll be in his room masturbating.

BURKE DOES TABLETOP TWO-STEP

Oh, Wild On. Such a savior for lonely nights in the late ’90s when Internet porn was still kind of crappy. The Wild On maven, Brooke Burke, was at Tabu inside MGM Grand for a pre-Valentine’s Day party Saturday night. She was putting her Dancing with the Stars skills to work, rocking out on the tabletop to Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” and Sean Kingston’s “Fire Burning.” One of those, by the way, has 40 million-plus views on YouTube. So. Nicely done, America.

Over at Tryst, chef Cat Cora was at the owner’s table with Wynn chef Paul Bartolotta. XS saw soccer player Freddie Ljunberg out for a second evening while Mr. Olympia, Jay Cutler, was also in the crowd.

Also at Wynn, UFC fighter Chuck Liddell took his family, including kids Trista and Cade, to see La Reve. They ducked backstage to meet the cast afterward, with Liddell getting a little Dancing with the Stars time in with the ballroom dancers. He returned Sunday night to hit up XS.

EGGERT’S LAST CAKE HURRAH

This is how you do it. Right before she has to go get yelled at about running and baby carrots and whatever, former Baywatch girl Nicole Eggert celebrated her 38th birthday and the end of her pre-Celebrity Fit Club freedom with a big-ass cake at Tabu inside MGM Grand Saturday night. It’s like celebrating your last night before going into prison by not getting raped.

The cake was supposedly low calorie, but look at that thing. It’s like someone stole it from the Wonka Factory. Also turning up for the party was Tom Felton — Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter movies — because, well, why not Draco Malfoy? Alan Rickman had a thing to do that night and Emma Watson had a dentist appointment early the next morning.

0130SAT: THE ROUNDUP

Eggert
Corey Haim used to be all over that every night. No wonder he’s trying to make a comeback.

Nicole Eggert celebrates the end of her freedom tonight at Tabu inside MGM Grand before she goes on Celebrity Fit Club. In holding with the grand tradition of everyone who was ever on Baywatch having to hook up with a musician of questionable nature, Eggert was the one attached to House of Pain and Limp Bizkit’s DJ Lethal. She sued him for burning her with cigarettes a couple years ago. She still got off better than Pam Anderson. Click for more words and pictures »

KROSS RIGHT AT TAO

Kayden Kross, the starlet who co-hosted the AVN Awards on Saturday, got going early with a celebration for the top title in porn in 2009, The 8th Day at Tao. She had dinner with a group of 10, including fellow star Stormy Daniels. Tabu at MGM Grand countered with a Vivid party with Sunny Leone, Savanna Samson, AJ Bailey and Lia.

Lavo, for their part, had Joba Chamberlain and Torii Hunter. Who, for all our sakes’, we hope aren’t appearing in any porn anywhere that isn’t under strict lock and key at the respective Chamberlain and Hunter estates.

Finally, Tera Patrick did a signing for her memoir, Sinner Takes All at Wasted Space inside the Hard Rock Hotel. Patrick, who last year didn’t appear at any of AEE, instead opting to hold her own events around town, was at the convention on Saturday to sign copies of her book there.

Patrick’s ex-husband, Evan Seinfeld, launched his website, rockstarpornstar.com at Moon along with Richard Dreyfuss. Which has us confused about the future of Jaws-related pornography. Alexis Texas, Jenna Haze, Kid Rock and Xzibit all took part. In the launch party we mean, now Jaws porn.

Z-Trip was joined at Rain by Xzibit and Too $hort, where Sean Locklear and Robert Sims of the Seahawks were spotted. Hines Ward and James Farrior of the Steelers and Kevin Payne of the Bears were there, too, because the Bengals had to go half-speed against the Jets in Week 17 and then pay the price in the playoffs.

The football players also bounced over to Moon and to Playboy Club where Harry James Sharper was hanging out. Earlier, Ward was at N9NE Steakhouse, which also saw Rock, Xzibit, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and tennis power couple Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf.

MCCORD SISTERS TRIPLE UP FOR H’WEEN

The McCord sisters, AnnaLynne, Angel and Rachel were at Tabu inside MGM Grand Saturday night for Rachel’s 21st birthday. We can’t decide if having a Halloween birthday would be awesome or terrible. Terrible, because everyone’s more worried about celebrating other stuff, but awesome because cake made out of candy. Earlier in the day, the girls were poolside at Wet Republic before doing dinner at Fiamma Trattoria.

Colorado slugger and Wasted Space co-owner Jason Giambi was at Body English inside the Hard Rock Hotel. Retired center Jeremy Roenick checked out DJ Kaskade at Blush inside Wynn Las Vegas. The true sports star of the night, though, was Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake at Hawaiian Tropic Zone. He wasn’t rocking any Halloween costume, but we suppose when you’ve spent your life in superboots and carrying hedge clippers everywhere you go, Halloween is overrated.

Holly Madison hosted HollyWeen at Studio 54 as the Queen of Hearts where she judged the costume contest after being lowered onto the stage on an aerialist swing. She found a pregnant Kendra Wilkinson, complete with “Sorry, Hank, it’s Hef’s …” T-shirt; a Spirit of Michael Jackson by Christina Brewer of Mesa, Ariz., that took three months to make; and Charity Hodges from L.A. as a Playboy Playmate.

MILIAN FLAUNTS HER WOMB AT TABU

Singer Christina Milian celebrated her 28th birthday at Tabu inside MGM Grand Friday night, and she confirmed she’s pregnant with husband The-Dream’s baby. That’ll look good on a birth certificate. We hope the kid turns out to be a pain in the ass, just so in six years British tabloid headline writers can talk about “The-Dream’s son a nightmare.” We like it when they’re softballs.

Milian was also in Clueless and Be Cool. We think she looks a little like Michelle Rodgriguez, except probably not as surly and defensive about her sexuality.

MEAN GIRL CELEBRATES B-DAY

Chabert
More like party of two, right? Hey-O! (Photos by Erik Kabik | Retna)

Don’t anyone say Lacey Chabert hasn’t paid her dues. She had to hang around Lindsay Lohan on the set of Mean Girls for however long. You know how when they show before-and-after pictures of the president and the toll the job takes on a guy in four or eight years? Chabert’s soul has to be as dead as your average 60-year-olds already.

It doesn’t help that she also did a tour on Party of Five, but she was here to re-energize Friday night for her 27th birthday at Tabu inside MGM Grand. She started it out with the 9:30 show of Believe at Luxor, where she ducked backstage to meet Criss Angel

Also Friday, Paul Oakenfold was at New York-New York for Zumanity in the same crowd as Tim Duncan of the Spurs.

THIS WEEK IN AGING: PRIESTLY IS 40

Hey, Jason Priestly, what would Henry Winkler do on the red carpet? (Photos by Scott Harrison | Retna)

He may have dated his on-screen sister, which is a smart move if you want to make America vaguely creeped out over something they understand is fiction but can’t help being skeeved about nonetheless, but in his post Beverly Hills, 90210 life Jason Priestly really, really, really made the right choice by marrying Naomi Lowde-Priestly. As you can tell, we were like a stiff breeze away from having one of her boobs pop out on the red carpet. It was very nearly the most magical night in Tabu’s history.

Seriously, why couldn’t Friday have been the night Naomi’s heel broke and she toppled forward, or there was a minor earthquake around the MGM Grand, or an asteroid passed too close to earth and temporarily increased the effects of gravity in a subtle, but noticeable way?

Natural disasters never happen when you need them to. Anyway. Priestly was celebrating his 40th birthday party at Tabu, bringing along a crew of 30, including his parents, Buffy actress Kristy Swanson and CSI: Miami actor Max Martini.

Priestly accommodated autograph-and-picture-seeking fans before he photobombed his folks’ own Kodak moment when he jumped in a shot they were trying to take with the event poster. Oh Brandon Walsh, you are an incorrigible scamp.

RANCIC GETS UP, GETS DOWN AT TABU

She loves the nightlife, she needs to boogie. (Photos by Denise Truscello)

Newly minted 35-year-old Giuliana Rancic celebrated her birthday at Tabu inside MGM Grand along with Apprentice winner and husband Bill Rancic, and 30 friends. Although, as a native of Italy, there’s a better than 70 percent chance at least two of those friends were a pan of lasagna and a tray of cannoli.

She was dancing on the tables while her husband looked on from the ground level. Presumably because Donald Trump would step out from behind a potted plant to fire him for un-Trumplike behavior. It’s the worst clause we’ve ever seen in a contract.
