DJ Hubert Keller with special guest appearance by MC Saucier.
Restaurant Week — the prix fixe bonanza to benefit Three Square — kicks off today. It’s the kind of event that makes you want to go eat everything, everywhere. Tonight MGM Grand gets it rolling at Wet Republic from 8 p.m. to midnight where, for $30.10, chefs from Joël Robuchon, Craftsteak, Fiamma, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill, Jean Georges Steakhouse, Sage, Burger Bar, Fleur de Lys, Sensi, Osteria del Circo and Olives will bring the thunder.
Hubert Keller will set aside his wooden spoon for the evening and get in the DJ booth before Recycled Percussion takes over the music and the girls from Crazy Horse Paris give you something better to look at than pancetta. Not, mind you, that we couldn’t stare at pancetta all day long. Finally, there’s a raffle and silent auction to benefit Three Square, with prizes running the gamut from dinners to rooms at MGM properties to show tickets. Click for more words and pictures »

Twilight is the vampire movie/Abercrombie catalog that just keeps on giving. Vampiress Ashley Greene was at MGM Grand’s Wet Republic Saturday to host where she turned up with several girlfriends for a bungalow throwdown, after clearing away all the garlic and crucifixes placed there by a pack of superstitious gypsies.
Greene had recently been named one of Women’s Health magazine’s hottest summer bodies by a magazine that clearly doesn’t understand the adversarial relationship between vampires and beaches.
Oh Edward, even your cardboard cut-out is dreamy…and bi-curious.
Wet Republic at the MGM Grand welcomes Ashley Greene Saturday as the pale vampire of the Twilight franchise overcomes her natural aversion to sunlight and catches some rays.
Greene was recently named one of Women’s Health magazine’s “Best Summer Bodies,” beating out stiff competition like Betty White, Kathy Bates and the girl who played Precious. Greene will show off that award-winning body in her VIP bungalow while chilling to the poolside beats provided by DJ Hollywood.

It’s always a sad time to see another Hot 100 go, but don’t you cry baby birds, because it’s just a short 364 until the next Hot 100 finale. It’s getting a little routine for the brunette with her own cadre of blue-bikinied handmaidens, Lisa Angeline. Last year’s winner repeated as the cream of the poolside crop, to the tune of a $35,000 first-place check. She upped her take from last year’s $25,000. In a move that’s sheer coincidence, if we paraded around in a thong in front of Wet Republic, $35,000 is exactly the amount we’d have to shell out in fines.
It was blisteringly hot — DJ-induced splash fights in the pool notwithstanding — but that didn’t deter a crowd that came out to see the Top 20 work their collective mojo (we can assure you, there was plenty of mojo). Coming in third place was Bohara Golestani for a cool $10,000. The runner-up was Miranda Langil, who earned a giant novelty check for $20,000.
Of course, you don’t want to read us prattle about it. You want pictures. You’re in luck. SpyOn has galleries upon galleries upon galleries. Did we mention upon galleries?

Here we go. Today’s the grand final of the Hot 100 at MGM Grand’s Wet Republic. It’s been a grueling slog of hot weather and little clothing, but it all pays off today when $100,000 in cash and prizes get handed out. If you missed last week, you can catch up here and here. Things get cooking around 2 p.m. and the winner is expected to be announced around 5:30. We’ll be over there to scope it all out and let you know who the queen of 2010 is later tonight.

Twilight‘s Kellan Lutz caused visions of dorm-room posters to dance in bikini’d 20-something-girls heads Saturday at Wet Republic when he celebrated girlfriend and 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord’s 23rd birthday.
The two of them signed autographs and took pictures with fans in between Lutz looking for any takers for a game of Uno in their bungalow. McCord confessed that she prefers the vamps to wolves because she doesn’t like hairy chests. We think a certain Burt Reynolds in 1972 is going to be crushed when he hears this.

Maybe you have better things to do than stare at hot chicks and pick out your favorite. Like, maybe you’re busy running from the law, or you have one arm pinned under a boulder from a hiking accident or something. We don’t know.
Chances are, you don’t, though. It’s time to play review for last week’s voting round. When you feel sufficiently informed, remember that voting Round 4 is tomorrow at Wet Republic, and that Chris Willis will be there to do a live performance of “Love is Gone.”

Dutch sensation Sander Kleinenberg spins at Wet Republic today for Daylife Sunday with Ferry Corstein. Good call, bringing in the Dutch DJ the same day the Netherlands are playing for the World Cup. He probably won’t even be playing any music. It’ll just be a recording of “GOOOOAAAAL” for six hours. Click for more words and pictures »

Round 3 of voting for the Hot 100 goes off today at MGM Grand’s Wet Republic, which should give you all th incentive you need to actually leave the house during triple digits.
Last week’s round saw Naughty By Nature come in and perform, which is always a delight. More importantly, it saw patriotic-themed bikinis, which is even better.

Be democratic this Fourth of July weekend. Go vote on hot chicks. It’s what Benjamin Franklin would have wanted. No, seriously, that guy was a freak.
Today is Round 2 of the Hot 100 voting parties at Wet Republic, where you can go scope out the contestants before you decide who to cast your precious, precious vote on. Today’s entertainment is Naughty by Nature, who last year disappeared into the crowd while doing “Hip Hop Hooray.” We feared the worst, that Treach would never be seen again.
