Everyone's favorite reality television family took over Sugar Factory American Brasserie at Paris Las Vegas last night as Khloé Kardashian Odom, Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries, Lamar Odom and Rob Kardashian all celebrated Khloé's 27th birthday with an over-the-top dinner at the celebrity hot spot.  

The stunning sisters, their beaus and brother indulged in fried macaroni and cheese pops, bruschetta, grilled Pacific salmon, four cheese and tomato basil pizzas, grilled chicken breast and more, accompanied by champagne and Sugar Factory's signature Lollipop Passion and Passion Punch cocktails. For dessert, the table feasted on a mouthwatering spread of red velvet and cookie jar ice cream sundaes, chocolate-covered strawberries, chocolate, peanut butter and red velvet cupcakes and chocolate, strawberry and cookies and cream milkshakes. The birthday girl was surprised with a platter of colossal cupcakes as the entire restaurant sang "Happy Birthday" to the brunette bombshell as she blew out the candles. 

Lamar made sure his wife was treated like a queen for her birthday celebration and lovingly fed her chocolate-covered strawberries. The playful pair also shared a Going Bananas goblet cocktail and stole a few kisses throughout the dinner.  

Kim, who looked stunning in a curve-hugging, black and beige Christian Audigier dress, Christian Louboutin stilettos, Yves Saint Laurent clutch, and of course, her larger-than-life engagement ring, never left her new fiancé’s side as the playful couple fed each other cupcakes and scoops of ice cream.  

On their way up to Chateau Nightclub & Gardens, the group all picked up a few of Kim's signature line of Sugar Factory Couture Pops, along with bags brimming with Sugar Factory sweets to bring back to their suites.

Nine year old hero honored at The Venetian! Saves sister after learning CPR from movie!





Earlier yesterday, guests gathered at The Venetian pool grounds to join in celebrating the heroic actions of nine-year-old, Tristin Saghin. The son of 12-year Venetian team member, Chris Saghin, Tristin rescued his two-year-old sister, Brooke, from their family’s backyard pool back in April. After learning CPR from his all-time favorite movie “Black Hawk Down,” Tristin revived Brooke and performed CPR until paramedics arrived.

John Caparella, president and chief operating officer of The Venetian, The Palazzo and Sands Expo, was on hand to award Tristin with a plaque dubbing him an honorary lifeguard. Lifeguards of The Venetian presented Tristin with an honorary t-shirt, whistle and buoy before he climbed into the lifeguard stand overlooking the pools. His father Chris, a founding team member of The Venetian, remarked that Tristin has always been a hero in the family and he is blessed to have him as a son.

Sandra Baker, assistant fire chief of the Clark County Fire Department, congratulated Tristin and shared pool safety tips with the crowd saying it’s never too early to learn CPR. For more information on pool safety, please visit the Southern Nevada Drowning Prevention Coalition’s website at sncdpc.org.

On Sunday, June 19th, Fashion Police co-host Kelly Osbourne joined actress and Season One Dancing With the Stars winner, Kelly Monaco, for her birthday celebration along with best gal pal, former beauty queen and Playboy playmate, Shanna Moakler at The Bank Nightclub at Bellagio following the pairs lavish dinner with friends at Fix Restaurant & Bar right next door.  The trio, who all attended the 2011 Daytime Emmy Awards earlier, excited the crowd at The Bank, dancing on top of the nightclub's banquette's along to the beat's provided by DJ Karma, while laughing and posing for photos with one another. To end the fun-filled evening, the birthday girl was completely surprised when she was presented with a two-tier custom-made cake topped with her 2005 Maxim Magazine issue cover, brought out with sparklers!

Also on Sunday night, funny man Andy Cohen, hosted the official Watch What Happens Live! after-party at The Beatles REVOLUTION Lounge at The Mirage Resort & Casino during their popular LGBT weekly event, Closet Sundays, coming straight from judging this year's Miss USA Pageant and filming an episode of the Bravo show.  Cohen, along with Bravo's Million Dollar Listings stars Madison Hildebrand and Josh Flagg entertained party-goers all night long, giving shout-outs on the mic and dancing to the sounds of the DJ who kept energy levels high, mixing up sounds behind the turntable.  Other guests on-hand for the fete, including Real Housewives of New Jersey's Caroline Manzo, and  Emmy Award-winning writer, Bruce Vilanch, who was in town judging Celine Dion's performance at her sold-out show in Las Vegas gig, spent the evening mingling with friends while sipping on specialty cocktails and playing with REVOLUTION's interactive table tops. 

 On Saturday, June 18th, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills hottie Taylor Armstrong celebrated her 40th birthday bash at Sin City's premiere pool party hotspot LIQUID Pool Lounge at ARIA Resort & Casino. Upon arriving in Las Vegas on Friday evening, Armstrong, joined by her rumored-to-be-split-from husband, Russell, and a few of her girlfriends, headed to famed Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant & Lounge at Bellagio, before heading next door to The Bank Nightclub, where they danced along to the sounds of DJ David Christian from their VIP table.

Armstrong arrived at LIQUID, the following afternoon, in a sexy brown and gold bikini with matching YSL heels, arm-in-arm with her husband Russell. The reality starlet, who's been known for stirring up conflict among her fellow Beverly Hill's housewives, started off the afternoon hanging out poolside, in her VIP Cabana, munching on Shrimp Cocktail and Ahi Tuna and washing it down with LIQUID's signature Watermelon Coolers, all while soaking up the sun's rays. After a bite to eat and a few cocktails later, Armstrong decided to leave her cabana to meet and take photos with fans before making her way to the DJ booth where she danced next to LIQUID's resident DJ's David Christian and Karma.

Toward the end of the b-day bash, the housewife was speechless when presented with a specialty cake decorated as a hot pink Christian Louboutin-inspired stiletto, requesting a box to take the cake back to LA with her so she could freeze it! Fellow daytime revelers watched on as Armstrong blew out the candles and toasted with a champagne-filled glass as she embarks on another successful year! The gorgeous blonde spent the remainder of the day dancing along to the DJ's beats and enjoying a few more of LIQUID's specialty drinks before hopping on a plane back to LA.
