Chris Brown Parties at Pure in Vegas...must of been hot in there!

Saturday night night, multi-platinum recording artist Chris Brown celebrated his 22nd birthday at PURE Nightclub inside Caesars Palace. The birthday boy arrived at the Las Vegas hotspot just after 1:00 a.m. to a mob of screamingfemale fans lined up waiting to meet him. Known for his hip, cool style, the back-to-blonde singer briefly posed for pictures on the red carpet wearing a studded leather jacket, black t-shirt and jeans before he was quickly escorted inside the mega-club.

As Brown walked through the packed house to his VIP tables on PURE’s main stage, his admirers followed closely hoping to get hisattention. When he got to the his table, the young star immediately stole the show and became the center of attention as he rushed to the front of the stage when the DJ announced “We just heard that Chris Brown is now in the building” as the crowd cheered him on in the background. He got on the mic and welcomed everyone to his birthday party and assured his fans that more is to come during the celebration and getting them riled up with anticipation. He then rejoined his large entourage of over 20 guests and continued to celebrate his special night.

Brown decided to stay out of the limelight until the whole club stopped to wish him a “Happy Birthday” as he was presented with an impressive four-tiered graffiti themed cake. Directly following the birthday wishes, the shirtless artist took over the stage and became front and center as he addressed the crowd and thanking them for coming out to his birthday party. The energy in PURE Nightclub sored through the roof and didn’t stop there as Brown performed singles from his new album F.A.M.E. including “She Ain’t You,” “Yeah 3X,” “Look At Me Now,” and “Beautiful People.” He also sang fan favorites “Deuces” and “Where Do We Go From Here.”

Following his performance, Brown and his entourage spent the rest of the night dancing and partying until the early hours of the morning.

Friday night Kim Kardashian was spotted dining on LAVO’s expansive terrace overlooking the Strip.  In town for an appearance for her perfume, she was able to squeeze in a quick dinner at the Italian hot spot when her plane was delayed.  Kim and several friends enjoyed her favorite Beet Salad along with the Kobe Meatball.

Spotted taking in the scene from the dance floor were former NFL pro Michael Strahan and Nicole Murphy as well as Christopher “Big Black” Boykin from MTV’s Rob & Big, who stopped by the DJ booth to say hello.  Cedric the Entertainer, Tracy McGrady of the Detroit Pistons, Derrick Ward of the Houston Texans, Brandon Jacobs of the New York Giants and sportswriter Jay Glazer were also enjoying the night in the club.

Alaska's favorite political bad-boy, Levi Johnston, rung in his 21st birthday at Sugar Factory American Brasserie ( www.SugarFactory.com ) at Paris Las Vegas. Sitting with a large table of friends, the group dined on some delicious fare, such as turkey sliders, fried macaroni 'n' cheese pops and chicken skewers. The birthday boy's main event was an indulgent red velvet sundae adorned with sparklers. It wouldn't be a 21st birthday without the first legal cocktail, and this one-time Playgirl model, was all about the party, drinking Sugar Factory's signature Passion Punch and Lollipop Passion goblet-sized cocktails with his table of friends.

Afterwards, Johnston stopped into Sugar Factory's retail store, to scoop up some signature couture pops before heading upstairs to his official birthday celebration at Chateau Nightclub & Gardens.

Also spotted at Sugar Factory American Brasserie was co-star of the famed Harry Potter film franchise, Tom Felton. The actor and a group of friends feasted on ahi sliders, mussels, New York strip steak and pacific salmon. Felton stopped into the retail store to pick up some goodies including sour patch cherries and peach gummy penguins.

A few tables down, "Dawson's Creek" star, James Van Der Beek, dined with his wife, Kimberly. The couple enjoyed bruschetta, fried macarconi 'n' cheese pops, roasted chicken breast, shots of Patron and Sugar Factory's signature Lollipop Passion cocktail.

American short track speed skating competitor and eight-time Olympic medalist, Apolo Anton Ohno, stopped into Sugar Factory to check out the retail store where he posed with a signature couture pop.

"No Ordinary Family" star, Kay Panabaker, also stopped by the retail store to pick out some treats before heading up to Chateau Nightclub to celebrate her birthday.
