Celebs Rockin' Around The City Vol. 3

OK, ROCKERS, I'M GOING TO BE TELLING YOU ALL ABOUT WHO IS ROCKIN IN LAS VEGAS ... "WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS IS NOT GOING TO STAY IN VEGAS ANYMORE," (WELL, EXCEPT FOR OJ!) BECAUSE, I WILL BE TELLING EVERYBODY, EVERYTHING, I FIND OUT, THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND ESPECIALLY THE UGLY.....

So here we go:

PEEP SHOW:

The heads and newly revealed stars of the sexy new production at Planet Hollywood gave a press conference on NOV 18TH, to present this exciting new show to the media. Peep Show will be provocative, stimulating, and fun. Audiences will delight in true adult entertainment, presented in a thoughtful, classy approach. Involved with the production are:

ANDREW LIPPA - Composer/Musical Supervisor/Arranger, who wrote the book, music and lyrics for The Wild Party, for which he received a Drama Desk Award. He recently composed the music for the Broadway production of Aaron Sorkin's, The Farnsworth Invention. Andrew also, has his hands in the Broadway revival of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown", as he wrote three new songs for the show.

JERRY MITCHELL - Director/Choreographer/Conceiver, has made his Broadway debut as Director with the hit musical, "Legally Blonde", for which he also served as Choreographer and was nominated for both the Tony and Drama Desks Awards.

KELLY MONACO was the 1st season winner of ABC hit show, "Dancing With the Stars". When "Port Charles" aired its final episode on October 3rd, 2003, Kelly had already secured a role on ABC's General Hospital , where she has portrayed Samantha McCall since then.

Melanie Brown, AKA, Mel B of The Spice Girls, is a chart-topping musical artist, actress, author, television personality and innovative entrepreneur. Hey Mel, "They'll tell you what they want, what they really, really want!"

Good luck to everyone involved in Peep Show!

On Nov, 19th, Lance Bass, one of the finalist on ABC's hit show, "Dancing with the Stars" (and best known as a member of the phenomenally successful award winning, multi-platinum pop band *NSYNC), flipped the switch that lit the 50-story replica of the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas the color red. This event launched the weekend-long Beaujolais Nouveau celebration at the Paris Hotel. I want to report as well, that Lance looked like he was having way too much fun at this event and might I add, enjoyed the new Beaujolais to the max. I mean really, Lance, how many toasts did you really have to make for the first tasting of the wine anyway? I think 4 glasses would have done the job nicely? (Just kidding). I have to confess that Lance is unfairly, adorable, with eyes that go on for days. I completely understand why he has hordes of adoring teenage female fans screaming for him everywhere he goes. It was absolutely astounding how the fans at this event were groping him, and doing whatever they could to grab any part of him, including knocking each other over while trying. Ok, ok, that was, VERY unprofessional of me! Sorry tweeners.

1ST ANNUAL CELEBRITY BAGGING Charity COMPETITION

On Nov 21, "10 Items or Less" threw an offbeat celebrity bagging competition during The Comedy Festival at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas . Lehr, Valderrama, Davis & Coles, who comprised the winning team, earned a donation of $500 for DoSomething.org, a non-profit organization committed to empowering young people to take action in their community around causes they are passionate about. The competition was not only loads of fun, but a huge success as well. Food was flying, items were dropping, the audience was cheering and the teams had a blast. Considering our country's devastating economical situation and price of groceries today, I would have bagged as many items as I could have and just left... But, hey, that's just me. Among the Celebes that gave their time for the event were:CAST MEMBERS FROM TBS'S 10 ITEMS OR LESS,John Lehr, Kim Coles, Roberta Valderrama and Greg Davis Jr., MAD MENS, Aaron Staton,Alison Brie, and Vincent Kartheiser (dating Lauren Conrad),Eva Marcille soap star from The Young and the Restless, My Boys: Kyle Howard, Michael Bunin,Jamie Kaler, and Kellee Stewart. You guys rock for helping out and promoting the cause.

TRANSPORTER 3

The new Transporter 3 had a special screening on Friday, November 21st, as well as a gala red carpe event. Walking on the carpet to promote the film was Jason Statham, Natalya Rudakova, and Robert Knepper ("Prison Break"). Also, joining in on all the fun along the carpet path was; Tony Besson, Sylvester Stallone, Keith Barry, Chuck Zito and Christa Cambell. For Transporter fans, you won't be disappointed in part 3. During the screening of the film, the actors were cheered on by the fans, cast and crew as they appeared on screen. This was a great way to have been fortunate enough to see this movie.

HAYDEN PANETTIERE

The stunning, 18-year-old actress, television super star of Hero's, Hayden Panettiere's displayed her new clutch handbag at the DOONEY AND BOURKE STORE in the Venetian Hotel shops on Nov. 22. For those of you who might not be feeling the recession (and how lucky are you!!!), Panettiere's bag is about $500, comes in several colors, and all display the astrological sign of the Leo on the front as Hayden is a Leo herself. The teen actress follows in the footsteps of celeb designers Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham, who have their own fashion lines.

Comedy Weekend celebrated at TAO

The Comedy Store, the comic's haven for more than 20 years, gathered a group of comedians to celebrate another great year of comedy in Las Vegas . Other comedians in attendance were, ‘my personal hero of funny', Bill Maher, comedian and host of "Real Time with Bill Maher" (Ya gotta love um), Anjelah Johnson who appeared on the 13th season of MadTV; and Rob Riggle, comedian and correspondent on "The Daily Show", among others.

SCOTT WEILAND HOSTS ALBUM RELEASE PARTY AT LAVO in the Palazzo Hotel

Following the success of his red-hot reunion tour with Stone Temple Pilots, Scott Weiland released his highly-anticipated sophomore solo album, "Happy" In Galoshes on November 25th. That night Scott celebrated with an album release party at LAVO in the new and gorgeous Palazzo Hotel. Scott was not only very cool, but extremely nice and gracious to the line of photographers on the carpet. Hey Scott, you rock and good luck on the album.

Richard Kiel & Maud Adams signing in Las Vegas

Thanksgiving Weekend November 28-30, 2008 at the Gallery of Legends memorabilia store (in the mall adjoining the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino) was a James Bond fans treat. Richard Kiel (The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker) and Maud Adams (The Man with The Golden Gun, Octopussy) appeared to sell and sign Bond memorabilia. OK, I have to tell all of you rockers, Richard's hands and feet bring the meaning of gigantic to a whole new level. It kinda makes a girl wonder??? As for Maud, she is totally aging gracefully. She was elegant and lovely. May the BOND be with you!

DONNY AND MARIE SIZZLE AT THE FLAMINGO

The undeniably charming, wholesome, and talented brother and sister act is now appearing in their new show at the Flamingo Hotel. They have just signed a new contract for the show to run for another 2 years. This is outstanding news for their huge fan base. Donny and Marie's energy, dimples, and timeless hits dazzled the audience.

This marks the first time in 29 years that the dynamic pair will perform an extended residency engagement in Las Vegas . "A little bit country and a little bit rock and roll, continues" ...

BENJI MADDEN OF GOOD CHARLOTTE STOPS BY PRIVE

A ‘PARIS-LESS' Benji Madden along with his bro, Joel, showed up for a 35 second red carpet at Privé Nightclub in Planet Hollywood Saturday night, Dec. 6th. While inside, Madden demonstrated his DJ skills for a set.

The way I see it, with all the tattooed decorations on his arms the best thing that ever graced his arms was Paris . Sorry Benji, however, I do like your music though! Oh, one more thing, for anyone who was curious to what was under the caps Benji always sports?

Not much...

Also, spotted, hanging around Planet Hollywood on the 6th, was "The Godfather's", legendary actor, James Cann. So for those with enquiring minds, Mr. Cahn did more than film his television show in Sin City, he likes it, he really, really likes it...

No, truth be told, Mr. Cann is in town filing his new movie, "Middle Men", also starring Luke Wilson, Giovanni Ribisi, and Gabriel Macht. "Middle Men" chronicles the birth and early days of the online adult entertainment industry.

So there you have it, 'you need to know rockers'. Stay tuned to find out who is rockin in Vegas next.

Till then, keep your eyes opened, for you never know who YOU, may bump into in the city of Las Vegas where the celebs love to hang.
