PURE PARTY PEOPLE
The superstar invasion from Hollywood and New York has made the PURE properties around town, which includes its nightclub in Caesars Palace, the ultimate summer playpen for party people. It’s been staggering to watch all the celebrity comings and goings! Let’s hope I don’t miss anybody!
Rush Hour 3 star Chris Tucker and director Brett Ratner were joined by fellow actor Taye Diggs, and sitting alongside was young actress Haylie Duff with a group of girlfriends. Hotel heiress Nicky Hilton came in late with boyfriend David Katzenberg and stayed until the club closed.
Also amongst the revelers: Luxor headliner Carrot Top, who earlier had attended Jaime Pressly’s birthday in the adjoining Pussycat Dolls lounge (click here for that Luxe Life report yesterday), USC starting quarterback Josh David Booty and US Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan. Mindfreak magician Criss Angel was on hand with sports star Antoine Walker when hip-hop star UNK gave a surprise 2 a.m. performance of his hits, “Walk It Out” and “2 Step.”
Rapper Mike Jones was another surprise performer with his club anthem, “Back Then,” and on hand for his impromptu gig were Mindfreak magician Criss Angel, Beverly Hills socialite Kim Kardashian, singer/actress Haylie Duff and MTV’s Brody Jenner.
Next day, recovering at the Venus topless optional pool at Caesars were Jaime Pressly and fiancée DJ Eric Cubeechee, actress Tamala Jones and once again, Taye Diggs.
Over at Social House in TI, everybody from actresses Jackie Bisset (Nip/Tuck) and Haylie Duff, to actors Sean Penn and Taye Diggs and rocker Eddie Vedder had fellow diners thinking they were in a Hollywood commissary. Turns out the lounge where DJ Javier Alba spins the music and the Asian restaurant’s Newspaper Room are the most popular with the stars, who then always seem to trek downstairs to the Tangerine nightclub with its burlesque dancers.
Comedy czar Jon Lovitz and Playmates Lauren Anderson and Stacy Fusion were there (the girls celebrating birthdays), and another Playboy Playmate, Lisa MacKay celebrated her birthday there at the weekend with a midnight birthday cake.
At Lucky Strike bowling lanes in the Rio, FHM model, Jamie Villamore
proved she was more than just beautiful and talented by showing she’s no slouch to bowling—coming with her own bowling shoes and “hello kitty” bowling ball! Another FHM model, Crystal Hayson electrified with her third time bowling there with ever-higher scores. Both beauties went onto Coyote Ugly at NY-NY, showing sexy moves on the bar top with the Coyotes.
The newly-opened Dick’s Last Resort at the Excalibur was visited by FOX TV’s Hell’s Kitchen second year winner chef, Heather West, where she wound up in the Race Car Bar fending off the entertaining charms of the outrageous funnyman Taco!
