Hot Vegas

PETA claims they have been "inundated with phone calls and e-mails from our members who were upset," concerning primates that will be used in the show, as featured in advertisements. PETA claims monkeys in Vegas would suffer from "being displayed in a crowded nightclub with deafeningly loud music, and intoxicated patrons will cause these monkeys trauma, stress, and unnecessary discomfort." Kinda like K-Fed does!

Another reason cited by PETA: "They harbor many diseases that are transmissible to humans, including bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Primates who have been forced to live in artificial, substandard conditions frequently attack humans."

The ever-incomprehensible babe magnet has to beat hot chicks off with a stick! According to a source, this bunny server at the Palms Hotel & Casino's Playboy Club in Las Vegas is David's "biggest fan" and begged to have her photo take with the diminutive stud. A captive audience, Spade agreed. Say cheese!

The 42-year-old funnyman, who has been previously linked to genetically superior beings like Heather Locklear, Lara Flynn Boyle and George Clooney's ex Krista Allen, proves you don't need a rockin' bod, movie star looks, or even stylish gear to attract the ladies.

At under 5' 7", perhaps big things do come in small packages!

It's not just the Germans who love David Hasselhoff -- the former Baywatch star has one helluva following in Las Vegas!

Our friends at spyonvegas spotted the Hoff at Pure Nightclub at Caesars Palace this weekend, dancing and romancing with a woman rumored to be an old girlfriend. And by old, we mean er, past fling.

Photogs spotted Cameron Diaz trying her luck on the roulette wheel Monday night at the Hard Rock Hotel. Cam had about $500 in chips at a $20 minimum bet table. Not quite the high-roller, is she?

"EXTRA" spotted Miss Houston holding hands with 26-year-old Ray-J (R&B-ish brother of crash-embattled Brandy Norwood) as the two ran into Jay-Z and LeBron James' Bud Select-Sprite pre-NBA All-Star game party Saturday at TAO in Las Vegas. This marks the second public appearance for the couple, who were spotted last month having a romantic dinner together at Mastro's in L.A.

A source tells TMZ that Kim K. actually showed up for the party but any potential nuclear conflict was defused when a helpful tipster called Ray-J from outside to tell him that his former video co-producer was in the house. Whitney took her young charge by the arm and quickly led him out the door.

The duo's duet took place at the All-Star Kickoff Party at JET Nightclub at the Mirage, hosted by Diddy and NBA superstar Tracy McGrady. Busta, who was busted last month for allegedly beating up a man back in December, also performed "Touch It," from his current album, "The Big Bang."

The next night, Diddy and Busta rolled back to the $40,000-a-night Hugh Hefner Sky Villa in the Fantasy Tower at the Palms Casino Resort, where they partied with Dave Chapelle, Kendra Wilkinson, Gabrielle Union, and a few bunnies from the Playboy Club. It pays to be rich, biatch.

Club Ice is advertising a party for Saturday night using Jay-Z's image and the names of his companies, Roc-A-Fella and Rocawear. But Jay-Z has nothing to do with the party and is actually hosting his own party Saturday night at Tao at the Venetian hotel.

When Jay-Z arrived in Las Vegas for NBA All-Star Weekend and saw the promotions around town (which are also on the site AllStarParty2007.com), he contacted his attorneys in New York who then contacted Robert Reynolds, an attorney in Nevada. Reynolds tells TMZ he was able to file the temporary restraining order just before the courts closed and that a process server went down to the club tonight and served them with the injunction.

TMZ spoke with an employee at the club who passed on this message from the club's promoters: They have a signed contract with one of the VPs of Roc-A-fella Records, the person was paid in full, and as of now the party will go on as planned on Saturday night.

Cee-Lo, half of the Grammy-winning duo Gnarls Barkley, partied it up at JET Nightclub at the Mirage on Monday with his entourage in tow. Our spies tell us he sipped on Patron with about twenty groupies surrounding him. When the DJ decided to put on his hit song, "Crazy," Cee-Lo grabbed the mic to belt out the song to the packed room.

The former Miss Nevada is smack in the middle of another sexually charged controversy ... and this one could reach its climax in court.

TMZ has obtained a cease and desist letter from Cirque du Soleil, sent to "Beacher's Madhouse" host Jeff Beacher at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. The letter asks him to halt production on the "orgasmic" part of his variety show, hosted by former Miss Nevada Katie Reese, because it infringes on Cirque's trademarked name.

Cirque believes that Beacher has been advertising the orgasm contest as a "Cirque du Soleil" event in several online publications. Beacher insists that the name was used in blogs by mistake, and that it was never part of his show.

The letter asks Hard Rock to stop advertising the show on their website, and "post a prominent" retraction on websites where it appeared. Oddly, the Hard Rock never used the name on their site.

TMZ spoke to Beacher, who told us, "I have no intention, and have never even thought about calling my orgasm contest the Cirque du Soleil Contest. I'm calling it exactly what it is; an Orgasm Contest." Beacher's attorney, Mike Heller, told us "Mr. Beacher appreciates Cirque du Soleil and would never use their name in vain. We ask for a total retraction and apology from Cirque du Soliel."

There's nothing quite like confusing your "dumb b***hes" for your son -- but what else would you expect from Andy Dick?

In the midst of trying, somewhat in vain, to rile up a crowd at PURE nightclub at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, randy Andy got a text message which he initially thought was from a female friend. It turns out it was from his son -- just one of his three children.

At least he stayed upright, unlike his premature ejection from "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last week -- after a little too-much grab-thigh with Ivanka Trump.

Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange played to sold-out crowds over the weekend at Luxor in Las Vegas, and was promptly puked on.

After the shows, Artie and fellow Stern sidekicks Reverend Bob Levy and Nick DiPalo headed to Body English, a nightclub at The Hard Rock. Once in the VIP area, Artie egged-on Wee Matt (a little person star in Jeff Beacher's Madhouse comedy show at the Joint) to chug his beer. Wee Matt obliged, then looked up at Artie and vomited on his leg and all over Artie's VIP table.

TMZ has learned that disgraced Miss Nevada, Katie Rees, is shacking up in the Hardwood Suite in the Fantasy Tower at Sin City's Palms Casino Resort (Justin Timberlake was a recent guest), and she even had a slumber party there -- with her girlfriends (look out!)! Of course, the suite costs a steep $25,000 per night, which leads us to ask, where's the money coming from?

For her recent Miss Jet Las Vegas gig at the Mirage, Rees was rumored to have been paid a paltry $5,000, which would get her about four-and-a-half hours in the room (not including taxes and fees), which happens to have its own basketball court. We're told that she got a "special rate," but didn't get the room completely comped.

Meanwhile, Britney Spears is back in Vegas -- this time, it seems, to work. She's holed up at the Palms as well, in a Sky Villa in the Fantasy Tower, which also goes for $25K per night. Brit doesn't even have to leave the hotel to lay down tracks -- there's a recording studio in the Tower.

Britney can afford it -- she's worth nine figures. But Katie Rees? Bet Tara Conner wishes she'd done a little more to push Trump over the edge.

The dethroned beauty queen was named "Miss Jet Las Vegas 2007" by JET nightclub at The Mirage. There was no girl-on-girl tongue action this time around -- her parents and grandparents were in the crowd. They must be so proud. When asked on her runway walk what was next for her, she gleefully replied, "Hollywood, baby!" Natch.

Our friends at spyonvegas.com caught the bad girl beauty queen raging with a flock of females at club Body English in the Hard Rock Hotel at 3:45 AM.

It appears that unlike the freshly-rehabbed Miss USA Tara Conner, the dethroned Miss Nevada is embracing her new title: Party Girl!

Spies tell TMZ that the duo, who co-starred in 2004's "In Good Company," started their Saturday night at sushi restaurant Social House at Treasure Island, then caught the Cirque de Soleil show "Mystére." Our source reports that Scarlett and Selma hit up hot club PURE at Caesars Palace on both Friday and Saturday.

Cameras spotted the sizzling twosome at their own private craps table on Sunday morning at Caesars. They arrived around 3:00 AM with other friends ... and security. There's something sexy about watching a hot blonde roll them bones!
