If, like the rest of America, you can’t get enough Jamie Foxx, you were in the right place this weekend. The actor/musician/comic/smug factory was at Tao inside The Venetian Friday night to address the crowd before Wilmer Valderrama jumped up in the booth to beatbox with DJ Reach. All of that sounds like it should have been filmed for VH1’s “I Love the 2000s.”

Also at Tao Friday night were Babyface, True Blood’s Mehcad Brooks, Janice Dickinson’s son Nathan Fields, and Brian Baumgartner of The Office.

Foxx wasn’t content with just Tao, though. He was also spotted at Lavo, breaking into a dance routine with his crew to Bel Biv Devoe’s “Poison.” Clearly, Jamie Foxx doesn’t trust a big butt and a smile. Click for more words and pictures »

Tao at The Venetian had its third annual Tao-A-GoGo last night with 78 girls bringing the booty for a shot at the $10,000 grand prize. Chelsea Hunter of Los Angeles was the winner, and she went back to SoCal after collecting her big novelty check. She should’ve at least given the crowd a little something to remember her by. Just one jiggling cheek for the road or something.

Playboy cover model and UFC All Access host Rachelle Leah was at Tao inside The Venetian Saturday night after the fight. It’s got to be good for a girl’s ego to be surrounded all the time by a bunch of dudes who take punches for a living. Even a dead cat with some eyeliner would start to look pretty good in comparison.

Kenny Florian followed up his win over Joe Stevenson with a trip to Tao where Mandy Moore stopped by to congratulate him.

Speaking of Playboy, playmate of the year Sara Underwood was at Tabu inside MGM Grand, where she got her groove on to the New Kids on the Block. God, it’s like junior high all over again. If we see one dude with an eight-ball jacket in the club, we’re flat-out giving up.

Revolution inside The Mirage had Serj Tankian of System of a Down, who was neither in Playboy nor in the UFC, but did nonetheless write “Suite Pee,” so that’s got to count for something, right?

Yep. This is an actual Prince album cover.

Rock dwarf, Jehova’s Witness and enigmatic genius Prince was at Tao inside The Venetian on Saturday with an exotic, dark-haired girl and a security detail where he sneaked into a skybox. On Sunday he was back at Lavo inside Palazzo. To answer your most pressing question: No, his pants weren’t ass-less.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno’s Jason Mewes and Katie Morgan — herself a porn star — headed up the night at Tao along with Mewes’ fiancee Jodran Monstanto. The trio started at the restaurant before moving upstairs to the nightclub.

They were back at it on Saturday, this time changing positions to Lavo at Palazzo. Jason Mewes was just a schlub from Jersey who happened to know Kevin Smith. This led to him spending nights out with his fiancee who looks kind of like Rosario Dawson and a porn star. We need to get some of our friends to start directing cheaply made, overly talky indie flicks.

Also at Lavo for the second straight day on Saturday was Marlon Wayans, returning even to the same table. Shouldn’t Damon or Keenan have been there to chaperone?

Snoogins.

Jason Mewes, Jay of Jay and Silent Bob, hosts at Tao inside The Venetian tonight to celebrate Zack & Miri Make a Porno. The Kevin Smith flick came out two weeks ago, so it’s not exactly a release party. Man, apparently the guy who played Otto in Clerks wasn’t available to come in and sing “Berserker.”

Late-night Real Deal: Keeping it real … er.

Just a couple of weeks after the premiere of The Real Deal, the show is already making some minor tweaks. The Venetian’s poker show will now run Thursday through Monday at 5 p.m. and be dark on Wednesday with a 10 p.m. show on Tuesday nights starting on Nov. 18.

The previous schedule was Tuesday through Sunday at 5 p.m. with 8 p.m. shows added Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The change was aimed at bringing in a crowd heavier on industry people and to give the 10 p.m. crowd more of a you-and-your-buddies feel. Plus, host Vinnie Favorito can let loose at the 10 p.m.

“If they do something stupid, I’ll let them know,” he said in October. “Overall, we’re pretty nice to the people. It’s not my typical show. I’m not your typical game-show host. I’m pretty edgy. But you can be edgy sarcastically and it still gets across.”

Ever since they handled their little problem with the Big Bad Wolf, these bastards have gotten awfully cocky.

The difference between the Tao of three years ago and the Tao of today are vast. Mainly, three years ago, Mickey Rourke wasn’t around for the club’s opening. Tao 2008, 1; Tao 2005, 0. Rourke, who’s generating Oscar buzz for the Darren Aronofsky flick The Wrestler and friend of fighter Joe Calzaghe, knew he’d be watching the boxer’s fight with Roy Jones Jr. on tape before hitting up the Staurday night party at Tao — and wouldn’t let anyone tell him who won beforehand.

He also said when asked what he thought about his Oscar chances, “I’ll be pissed if I don’t win.” Mind you, he said this while wearing the shiniest suit we’ve ever seen. He had food brought up to his room while he was hanging out with Evan Rachel Wood before the party. The fact that there aren’t cameras following Rourke around filming a documentary about how you get to be that cool is a crime against humanity.

Also turning out for the anniversary party were Aronofsky, John Enos III, also of The Wrestler, The Office’s Jenna Fischer, Lindsay Lohan, Taye Diggs, Amanda Bynes, Denise Richards, Grey’s Anatomy’s Ellen Pompeo with husband Chris Ivery, Greg Bello, Holly Montag, the Alizma triplets, Hill Harper of CSI: Miami, Private Practice’s Kate Walsh with husband Alex Young, Richard Kind of Spin City, Robin Thicke, Perez Hilton, Roger Cross of 24, Roger Cross, Shawn Hatosy and Stacey Keibler, who brought along a group of friends to celebrate one of their birthdays.

Tao at The Venetian is celebrating its three-year anniversary tomorrow night by bringing in Stacey Keibler, Amanda Bynes, Taye Diggs, Kate Walsh of Private Practice and Jenna Fisher of The Office.

And to think it was just like yesterday that Tao opened. Before you know it, Tao will be learning to drive and get interested in girls. They grow up so fast.
