0316TUE: THE ROUNDUP

Bragh
And with just a quick coat of black dye, becomes your Thanksgiving Sexy Pilgrim outfit.

Finally, someone’s doing something to make miniature, money-hoarding trolls the sexy little creatures they ought to be. Blush at Wynn Las Vegas is tossing $2,500 in cash in prizes to the hottest leprechaun to sport green lingerie tonight for Erin Go Bra-Gh 2. It’s getting your St. Patrick’s Day started the right way — the way that involves a bunch of green lingerie. Actually, that’s how we prefer to start our Memorial Day and Labor Day, too.

Bust out your boy, Rudolf!

Kevin Rudolf is a failure as a co-artist. Here Lil Wayne went and made him a star with his guest spot in “Let it Rock,” and how does Rudolf repay him? He lets Weezy rot in a New York jail on a trumped-up gun charge. A real friend would be down there with a delicious pineapple-upside-down-file cake. Or dynamiting out a wall and hauling it clear on his horse with a rope tied to the bars. At least we assume escaping from modern prison is exactly like Yosemite Sam busting out of jail. Anyway, Rudolf is at Blush inside Wynn Las Vegas for the record release of his new single “I Made It.” Click for more words and pictures »

GREEN CELEBRATES CHICKEN, B-DAY

Freddy’s Dead and The Craft star Breckin Meyer helped celebrate Seth Green’s belated birthday and their Robot Chicken return Saturday night with a group of 15 others. They started with dinner at Society before retiring to Blush where they partied until 2 a.m.

Meyer and Green have a production company with Ryan Phillippe who couldn’t come to the party because he’s just famous enough that he can’t spend his weekends with guys who make old toys do fart jokes for a living. Not that he’s better than toy/fart jokes. It’s just that he spent Sunday night trying to get Sandra Bullock to let him in her Oscar party by hanging outside the gate and screaming “Sandy? You remember Crash? I was in that with you. C’mon Sandy. I played one of the cops. Please? … I loved The Net.

Will be playing Conan O’Brien in Late Shift 2.

Seth Green hosts at Blush inside Wynn Las Vegas for a Robot Chicken party. Ladies receive free Champagne from 11 p.m. to midnight, which is the most misguided promotion we’ve ever heard. It should be that emotionally stunted dudes get a free Dr. Doom action figure from 11 to midnight. And we’re just using that as an example, not because we’re trying to talk someone into giving away free toys. (We’re totally trying to talk someone into giving away free toys.)

Sweet. Congas. Now that Santana/house mash-up can finally get done.

Blush at Wynn Las Vegas brings in Frank Richards and Freddy B tonight for House Wednesdays. As DJ names go, we’ve gotta say that one sounds a lot like a ’50s sitcom dad. Actually, that could kind of work. DJ Ward Cleaver. Or DJ DadFromMyThreeSons. Quick! Someone get us a MacBook Pro and a subscription to Beatport! Click for more words and pictures »

TOMMY LEE WORKS CROWD AT BLUSH

Crue drummer Tommy Lee brought his girlfriend, German-born singer Sofia Toufa, to Blush at Wynn Las Vegas last night for the King Baby Studio grand opening afterparty. Apparently they don’t have a word in German for “Hep C.”

Lee was playing a drum machine and doing video mixes while DJ Aero worked the turntables for a crowd that included King Baby owner Mitchell Binder, skater Danny Way, DJ Scotty Boy and blues guitarist SmittyonSteel. By the end of his set, Lee had moved on from downing Cape Cods to chugging Veuve from the bottle. He wrapped up his set around 1 a.m.

Of course, working a drum machine and a video mixer sounds like it’s a lot to do with just two hands. Then again, we’re not going to tell you what he was using to play the drum machine.

We’d actually be OK if we never had the thought of Tommy Lee feeding us anything again. (Photo by Scott Berry)

Maker of fine heavy, skull-y jewelry King Baby does his Project afterparty tonight at Blush inside Wynn Las Vegas with Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, working with DJ Aero on their House Wednesday mix. There is no way that shouldn’t end with an electro remix of “Kickstart My Heart,” but then again, we weren’t consulted on these things. We’re never consulted, and we should totally be consulted.

SOCCER GALS GATHER AT TRYST

Mia Hamm, or, as she’s known in L.A. and Boston, Mrs. Nomar Garciaparra, was with fellow United States women’s soccer players Kristin Lilly and Tisha Venturini at Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas last night. The three former North Carolina teammates were all involved in the 1999 World Cup final shootout against China that ended in Brandi Chastain’s sports bra.

Meanwhile, over at Haze, Drake was inside the Aria club to perform for the crowd there on a stage covered in bills. SpyOn has the pics starting here.
