STRIP SCRIBBLES
*The NBA championship Boston Celtics team is determined to party in Vegas until the new season gets underway apparently! They are still celebrating their win over the LA Lakers here with MVP and hometown resident Paul Pierce showing the sights! Tony Allen, Kendrick Perkins, Glen Davis and Rajon Rondo were in the group with Paul tucking into a winners meal at the Fix restaurant in the Bellagio. They then carried on next door to The Bank nightclub and kept the non-stop partying also at the Jet nightclub in the neighboring Mirage resort casino. Many of them also celebrated with Cristal and Dom Perignon champagne and a bevy of beauties when electro hip-hop group LMFAO performed their hit “I’m in Miami Bitch” at Privé in the Planet Hollywood Resort Boston Celtics shooting guard Ray Allen, partied at Wet Republic’s MGM Grand Daylife celebration. He jumped into the pool and initiated the first volleyball game. He tested his skills at volleyball, as fans followed his lead and packed the pool to get a chance to play against one of the leading shooters in the game while renowned DJ and producer, Benny Benassi twisted the turntables with his torrid tracks.
*Just asking if its true that one Strip resort has told travel agents quietly that they will price hotel rooms, for the remainder of the hot summer months, according to the daily Vegas temperature! Thus, if its 95 degrees its $95 and if it gets up to 120 degrees its $120. A unique promotion, but rather costly?
*Actor Dennis Quaid brought his wife Kimberly to Vegas for a mini-vacation. They checked into a suite at the Hard Rock Hotel and then joined friends to party at The Bank nightclub in the Bellagio.
Dennis who has just wrapped filming with Sienna Miller and Brendan Fraser on the new “GI Joe” Rise of Cobra movie enjoyed the Perrier Jouet champagne on the outdoor VIP balcony.
*Readers of yesterday’s column wondered why in the report of Lauren “Lo” Bosworth’s graduation party at Privé I omitted any and all mention of her best friend and roommate Lauren Conrad! The truth is that she wasn’t there! Now before tongues get wagging about yet another feud amongst The Hills cast lets tell you why! Lauren was stuck in an Italian airport trying to get a flight back to LA to scoot to Vegas for Lo’s celebration. When flights go awry in Europe no amount of American showbiz power can break the deadlocks. She simply got stranded 5,000 miles away, but tried with all her power to get here!
*Hypnotist Marc Savard, who just won the 2008 Star Award at the Stage Hypnotists of the World conference, began a new run of shows last night (MON) at the Trader Vic’s Comedy Club at Planet Hollywood Resort’s Miracle Mile. He has also launched the International Institute of Hypnosis right here in Vegas.
*It was back in April 1996, 12 years ago, that the American Superstars tribute show of celebrity impersonations was launched, and now they’ve just been given the news they’ll continue their contract at the Stratosphere for another 15 months through November of next year! The full-scale production show features Darren Lee as Elvis Presley, John Anthony as Rod Stewart, Chad Givens as Tim McGraw, Damian Brantley as Michael Jackson and Lorena Peril as Christina Aguilera. Dancers Nadia Albulet, Teresa McAuliffe, Eric Chandler, Audrey Rusher and Renee Herter round out the cast.
*Three alumni from Rock of Love 2 are now starring in VH1’s new reality game show I Love Money and to help launch the premiere Heather, Megan and the shy Destiny hosted a party at the Jet nightclub in The Mirage.
