What celebrities are doing...90210's AnnaLynne McCord!

This week-end, Tabú Ultra Lounge at MGM Grand welcomed 90210’s AnnaLynne McCord as she hosted her little sister Rachel’s 21^st birthday with a night of haunted seduction. The young starlet arrived at the Las Vegas hot spot with both her sisters Angel and Rachel McCord. And in celebration of Halloween, all three sisters were dressed head-to-toe in some of this year’s hottest costumes. AnnaLynne choose to dress up as a seductive catwoman, Rachel choose a more flirty burlesque ensemble, while older sister Angel showed up in a sexy inmate get-up.

Following the red carpet, the trio headed inside to get the party started as they were welcomed by fans and admirers. Seated at Tabú’s VIP table, the sisters were the center of attention the whole night. Immediately after arriving inside, Angel and Rachel hopped on top of the tables and started dancing and celebrating, while AnnaLynne was seen sitting and opting to have a more relaxed time. The youngest McCord, Rachel, stole the show when a three-tiered pastel frosted cake was presented to her by the beautiful Tabú staff. The whole venue stopped to wish her happy birthday as she blew out her candles.

Earlier in the day AnnaLynne, Rachel and Angel were spotted poolside at WET REPUBLIC for a little pre-party affair. The girls then followed their day with a special birthday dinner at FiAMMA Trattoria and Bar at MGM Grand.

What celebrities are doing at Tao!

Joined by family and friends, Briana Evigan celebrated her birthday at LAVO. The Sorority Row star, who turned 23 on October 23^rd sat in the center of a long table in the middle of the dining room for a feast of LAVO’s Italian dishes. She had already ordered Oreo Zeppole dessert for the entire table when she was surprised by the entire restaurant joining in to sing “Happy Birthday” as a huge cake was brought out. After blowing out the candles and making a wish she insisted every person still eat an Oreo. Then group then headed up to the club, taking over a VIP table on the dance floor in front of the DJ booth. In a skin tight black and white mini dress the birthday girl danced on the couch surrounded by friends.

Twilight star Kellan Lutz along with his parents and friends spent the afternoon at TAO Beach before joining up with co-star Ashley Greene and even more friends for dinner at LAVO. After dining on specialties including the famed Kobe Meatball, the group took the party upstairs to the nightclub where they danced all night long to the sounds of DJ Crooked. Good friend Brittany Snow arrived after midnight to join the group.

Also spotted upstairs at LAVO, Entourage favorite Rex Lee. Taking a table on the stage he celebrated a friend’s birthday and took pictures with fans all night long.

Over at TAO, True Blood star Rutina Wesley dined with a group of family and friends. The Vegas native wore a floral print dress and glasses, looking quite the opposite of her character on the series. After dinner the group headed up to a VIP skybox in the nightclub for the 3^rd annual Taolloween party and costume contest. This year’s winner was a monster to say the least; a 10 foot tall character from the new film Where the Wild Things Are won the contest, which was voted on by the crowd. The winner, who spent three months building the costume flew in from San Diego to take part in the contest.

What celebrities are doing - Studio 54!

Last night, legendary nightclub Studio 54 at MGM Grand welcomed rapping icon Vanilla Ice (a.k.a. Rob Van Winkle) for a special performance at the club’s weeklong Nightmare on 54^th Street Halloween celebration. The rebellious artist walked the red carpet in his usual all-black ensemble, showing off his knuckle tattoos that spell out “Wide Open.” Shortly after, Van Winkle took to the stage in front of a packed crowd, performing his more recent pieces before moving onto his classic fan-favorites, “Ice Ice Baby” and “Ninja Rap” – made famous by his cameo in the 1991 sequel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. The crowd sang along to his every lyric, amazing the performer into telling the audience he couldn’t believed they remembered it, and he still loved “those turtles.” Throughout the performance, Rob took bottles of water and sprayed the crowd, drenching the entire dance floor, pouring full bottles on himself, and dowsing his entourage on stage. He had a “circus freaks” theme for his performance with a crazy clown enticing the crowd and pulling all the beautiful women onto the stage to dance alongside him, singing every word of “Ice Ice Baby.”

Performing shortly after midnight, Vanilla Ice wished everyone a “Happy Halloween” as he departed the stage, but what the crowd didn’t know was that it also marked the rapper’s 42^nd birthday. Upstairs in his VIP sky box, he was greeted by his closest friends with a two-tier birthday cake in his honor. After the candles were blown out, Rob spent the early hours of the morning mingling with friends and watching the packed crowd over his balcony.

The Ultimate Meatball and Major League Eaters face off at the Rio!!

MAJOR LEAGUE EATERS FACE OFF AT RIO IN LAS VEGAS AT

MARTORANO’S MASTERS MEATBALL-EATING CHAMPIONSHIP

#1-ranked Joey Chestnut to Compete; Utensils-Only Affair will Showcase Martorano’s Famous Meatballs

----------------------------

On Sunday, November 8^th, a host of top-ranked Major League Eaters, including #1-ranked Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, will meet at Martorano’s inside Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino for the first-ever Martorano’s Masters Meatball Eating Championship. The winner will be distinguished as a world meatball-eating champion and take home the lion’s share of a $3,000 total cash purse.

Chestnut has won the last three July 4^th hot dog eating contests and secured dozens of other Major League Eating contests including funnel cake, ribs and kolaches. Martorano’s Masters, however, will be Chestnut’s first competition since falling to Takeru Kobayashi in the world hamburger eating championship this past September.

LeFevre, the 65-year old MLE legend and Henderson resident, will be coming out of retirement in hopes of claiming the inaugural Martorano’s Masters title. LeFevre is a veteran of the sport with world records in many disciplines including Spam, chili and huevos rancheros. News of LeFevre’s return has rocked the Major League Eating world.

“Many believed we would never see LeFevre at the competition table again,” said George Shea, Chairman of Major League Eating, “but I am told that he is too familiar with the succulent Martorano’s meatballs to witness someone win the title on his home turf.”

Other top contenders include rookie upstart Ben Monson and #3-ranked Bob Shoudt, who has been dubbed the “Victorious B.O.B.” after a string for four consecutive Major League Eating victories in September including burritos, grits and chili spaghetti.

The 10-minute contest will feature Martorano’s world famous meatballs prepared by chef/owner Steve Martorano . In an effort to fully honor and respect Martorano’s meatballs, competitors must use utensils during the contest, a stipulation that will further test the skill of the eating professionals.

"I am very excited to host the Martorano's Masters Meatball Eating Championship at my restaurant in Las Vegas ," said Steve Martorano . "The competitors will be eating one of the world's best meatballs so they might even slow down to enjoy the taste."

The MLE-sanctioned contest will take place at 12:00 noon and the public is invited to attend.
