Ray J satisfies sweet tooth! More Michael Madsen!

It was another star-studded evening at Sugar Factory (www.sugarfactory.com) as Ray J, Michael Madsen and Emmanuelle Vaugier all took center stage at the sweetest spot on the Strip.

Successful recording artist and VH1 reality star Ray J stopped by for a pre-performance meal at Sugar Factory American Brasserie inside Paris Las Vegas Saturday night. The suave R&B singer enjoyed a delicious dinner of New York Strip steak, fettuccine alfredo and creamed spinach before capping the meal off with cookie jar and strawberry cheesecake ice cream sundaes. 

After dinner, the hit reality star headed over to the retail location and conquered his sweet tooth by devouring Reece's peanut butter cups, gumballs and a blue raspberry Sugar Factory Couture Pop.

A few tables down, acclaimed actor Michael Madsen was dining with his family, as the group was celebrating Madsen's "Indie Icon" award from the Las Vegas film festival. Madsen and his family noshed on a variety of pizzas: barbecue chicken, four cheese, tomato basil and pepperoni, along with chicken Caesar salad, chicken skewers and veggie burgers. For dessert, the table shared peanut butter frozen hot chocolates and red velvet ice cream sundaes. Before the family left, Madsen surprised his wife, DeAnna, with a colorful cake in honor of her birthday.

Also spotted at the chic eatery was actress and Maxim cover girl, Emmanuelle Vaugier. Vaugier indulged in fried macaroni and cheese pops, onion rings and rigatoni marinara before heading out to dance the night away.

Sugar Factory American Brasserie is an American take on a traditional French brasserie, serving delicious cuisine all day, and all night, along with an oversized retail store and signature Chocolate Lounge. Other Sugar Factory retail stores are located at The Mirage and Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood.
