Jamie Foxx & Danny McBride

Saturday night the season grand opening of TAO Beach continued at TAO Asian Bistro and Nightclub as Danny McBride hosted in celebration of his new movie “Your Highness”.

Celebrities spotted dining under the watchful eye of TAO’s famed Buddha included McBride, Jamie Foxx, Sophia Bush, Garcelle Beauvais and Dania Ramirez.

Upstairs, celebs were seen throughout the nightclub, all taking in the sounds of DJ Vice.  Britney Spears made a surprise visit to TAO, while in Las Vegas for a second weekend in a row.  This time the pop princess kept it low key, staying secluded in a skybox with beau Jason Trawick.  The affectionate couple kept to themselves, making an exception when Danny McBride, the night’s host heard she was in the club and requested an introduction.  Spears sweetly obliged and was spotted chatting with him briefly.

Danny McBride and his friends took over a VIP table on the dance floor and he was surprised with a cake in the shape of a castle from Gimme Some Sugar.  Getting on the mic, McBride said, “Gonna keep this short cause I’m drunk.  Go see Your Highness,” and then proceeded to entertain the crowd with a dirty joke.  Later in the night McBride and Craig Robinson from The Office hopped into the DJ booth and rapped for the crowd.

Jamie Foxx commanded the table next to McBride, while just a few tables down Gabrielle Union and her friends, including Dwight Freeney from the Indianapolis Colts didn’t miss a song dancing on the banquettes.  Jordan Bratman was spotted enjoying a boy’s night out at a table on the dance floor.

Garcelle Beauvais and friends were dressed to the nine’s, and Dania Ramirez sipped Champagne and sang along to Jay-Z’s New York State of Mind while taking in the view of the packed club from the Moat VIP skybox.  Sophia Bush had a great time with close friends and producers of One Tree Hill while Columbus Short laughed with Tanee McCall.  Glee’s Max Adler and Kunal Nayyar from The Big Bang Theory partied in the Moat skybox.  Dave Haywood of Lady Antebellum was joined by friends in a upper level skybox.

At LAVO, You Tube sensation Judson Laipply dined with friends on signature items before heading up to the nightclub.
