In This Issue:Young Hollywood parties in Vegas, now they are starting to
invest in Vegas. The Fantasy Girls of
Luxor unveil their new 2007
calendar. Vivica A. Fox is out, but Willa
Ford is still 'Dancing with the Stars' and we are still
rooting for her. Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock
make their first public appearance since getting
married.
Not only are the young Hollywood stars coming to play in our desert kingdom, but now they’re bringing their money and investing here too. Luxe Life has learned that, when Nick Lachey appears at the Luxor next month, he will announce that he’s joined with Wilmer Valderrama and socialite hotel-heiress Nicky Hilton as principal equity shareholders in the new restaurant and nightclub operations that the PURE management group will open there. First up: the Aspen 702 steakhouse. Then, pop superstar Christine Aguilera will ante-up for the new LAX nightspot there, with Hollywood club queen Amanda Demme being involved with the new Roxy lounge. I’m not the first to break this story, but I did get it all confirmed with hotel corporate execs when I joined them to help celebrate the new Fantasy Girls calendar release. (More on that eyeful of busty beauty a little later.) I’ve heard on very good authority that PURE will probably windup receiving $50 million from Hollywood stars investing in their Vegas fine dining and dancing venues.
The next Vegas Moguls? LEFT: Nick Lachey. CENTER: Wilmer Valderrama. RIGHT: Nicky Hilton.
As you already know from previously reading Luxe Life Celine Dion, Andre Agassi and Shaquille O’Neal are financial investors in the original PURE nightclub at Caesars Palace and PURE will probably partner with Paris Hilton for her nightclub operation at the same-named Paris hotel. (Incidentally, hypnotist Anthony Cools is producing a unique Boom Boom Cabaret lounge at Paris too, featuring 8 topless dancers who are talented singers, contortionists able to do their own unusual variety acts.) Meantime, the passion of purple is about to get added to the Rio’s colorful entertainment scene. One-named pop icon, Prince had spent several consecutive days meeting with Harrah’s corporate officials as Luxe Life revealed two weeks ago -- but instead of winding up at the Flamingo or Harrah’s Strip hotels, Prince winds up on a regal throne to rule at the Rio. Luxe Life confirmed with a Rio executive last night that negotiations between the hotel and Prince are almost all wrapped up. Prince would appear for several, 3-night, weekend concerts over the next 12 months in his newly-configured and re-decorated Club Rio. As the new club theater's "entertainment director," he will also book other acts when he's not appearing there. "He's very serious, very polite, and very thoughtful about having his major imprint on this business venture and he wants to ensure it succeeds really well," I was told.
CALENDAR GIRLS
Luxor's Fantasy Girls with their sexy new calendar, which makes us eager for 2007.
"The girls are so gorgeous and their stage stunts so sizzling." That’s what I wrote in Luxe Life after seeing the Fantasy show at the Luxor and now those luscious ladies have taken seduction one step further for every day of the year. My friends, producer Anita Mann and choreographers Cris Judd and Eddie Garcia hosted a party with Luxor president Felix Rappaport to launch the topless beauties’ new 2007 calendar, and I cant wait for the New Year to get here so I can start using it. We went backstage with the glamour-goddesses for these exclusive photos, but had to get them to strategically cover themselves with the month they posed for!! How clever was that move? Luxe Life was on the original photo shoot for the calendar so it's with pleasure we share all those exciting erotic edgy eyeful of images with you today! Now race down to the Luxor and buy it!
Scenes from the shooting of the Fantasy Girls 2007 calendar.
LEFT: Yours truly with Fantasy producer Anita Mann. RIGHT: With Luxor President Felix Rappaport.
BYE-BYE
LEFT: Vivica A. Fox got the boot from 'Dancing with the Stars. RIGHT: Our fav, Willa Fordis still dancing.
Actress Vivica Fox starred for one-night in the splash spectacular 'Jubilee!' at Bally’s and ABC-TV filmed it for her segment in 'Dancing with the Stars' last week. Unfortunately, as flashy as she was, viewers and judges decided the 'Kill Bill' star didn’t have the right moves and she was voted off for an unexciting Pasa Doble. That means our favorite celebrity Vegas Pussycat Doll, supermodel pop singer Willa Ford waltzed her way to safety and is still alive to appear again tonight against Jerry Springer, Sara Evans and Joey Lawrence with former football player Emmitt Smith expected to exit in tomorrow’s voting. Our fingers and dance-toes are crossed, as we continue unashamedly rooting for Willa.
HORROR HOST
Another
Vegas Pussycat Doll just landed the horrifying, yet successful, plum
assignment
of being the red-carpet host and interviewer for
the 1st Annual Scream Awards
in LA. Talk about fear and fright! Luscious Laura
Diane’s (pictured) exclusive interviews and
her backstage star chats start running as of
today on Spike TV and also on spiketv.com. She landed spots with
Marilyn Manson, Ozzy Osbourne,
'Superman' Brandon
Routh, Korn and Linda
Blair. Next
up for Laura Diane is a similar assignment for the next Ultimate Fight
Championships here next month.
FURTHER FRIGHTS
Ranked #4 in America by AOL for Best Haunted Attraction in 2006, Captain Spaulding, played by actor Sid Haig, of the Rob Zombie films “House of 1000 Corpses” and “The Devil’s Rejects," officially opened Fright Dome at Circus Circus, which now runs through Halloween. He greeted fans, signed autographs and took fan photos in his evil clown costume. Appearing nightly at Fright Dome, one of the oddest human marvels ever seen, The Enigma, and femme fatale Lady Diabla will thrill audiences with their freak shows. Fright Dome has 5 haunted houses, including the new Zombie Mansion, 3 spine-tingling ride films, 4 extreme scare zones plus 20 rides and attractions in a pitch black fog filled chilling atmosphere complete with high-powered strobes, lasers and sound effects throughout the 5-acres of horror.
