Jennifer Lopez parties in Vegas at PURE Nightclub! Looking sizzling hot!

PURE Nightclub inside of Caesars Palace welcomed Jennifer Lopez as she celebrated iHeartRadio Music Festival with an after-concert party Saturday night (September 24). In town for the music festival, Lopez made a special appearance at the award-winning Las Vegas nightclub directly following her show stopping performance.

It was a sight to see as hundreds of fans lined up outside the casino floor waiting for the gorgeous superstar to make her way through the crowd and to the venue. Lopez arrived at the megaclub with a very large entourage that included family, friends, her back-up dancers, Benny Medina (her longtime manager) and SteveBartels, President of Island Records and COO Island Def Jam Music Group just after 1 a.m. But before entering the Las Vegas hotspot, she first stopped to pose for photos on the red carpet. As the cameras flashed, the starlet dazzled under the spotlight as she showed off her stunning figure while wearing in a tight cream dress with hot pink piping and matching hot pink heels.

After the red carpet, she was then escorted through the packed house stopping to say hi to a few lucky admirers before heading to PURE’s iconic stage. When she first arrived, Lopez was surprised as her entire VIP area was decked out with décor that mimicked her new album cover Love? The transformed area was blinged out with sparkly gems, glittering fabrics and beautiful arrangements of her favorite flower white lilies just for her special night. After taking in the atmosphere, the single Lopez immediately kicked-off the party with a champagne toast followed by showing off her dance moves alongside her back-up dancers.

Later in the evening, the entertainer was surprised as Bartels stopped the party and got on the mic to congratulate Lopez with a plaque presentation for her first single “On The Floor” having been certified with over three million downloads, making it one of the best selling songs of 2011. Thrilled by the honor, she made her way to the front of the stage where she immediately stole the show and became the center of attention by dancing and singing as her hit single “On The Floor” played in the background. While front and center, fans cheered for Lopez as she waved, greeted and blew kisses to thousands of her fans on thepacked dance floor.

Lopez and her entourage spent the rest of the night dancing and partying until the early hours of the morning.

PollyGrind Film Festival comes to Las Vegas!

 It's been called "the key festival for indie cult filmmakers to land distribution deals." Its founder and programmer has been called the "new champion of unabashed B-movie sleaze." Those praises might seem a bit outlandish, but with the official announcement of the PollyGrind Film Festival's schedule, it's easy to see where they come from.

Chad Clinton Freeman's second installment of the Las Vegas underground film festival will highlight more than 100 projects, including 30-plus features films, in October at theatre7 in the arts district.

The fun gets started October 6 with a red carpet world premiere for the sexy revenge thriller The Atonement of Janis Drake. The debut feature by Glen Meadows stars Beverly Lynne and Angel Porrino.

Other world premieres at the festival, which runs until Oct. 16, will include Creep Creepersin's Finger Bang, Michael Ricks' The Las Vegas Abductions, Logan Myers' Mondo Sexxxx: The Terry Kobrah Story, Aramis Sartorio's The Gruesome Death of Tommy Pistol, James Bickert's Dear God No!, Shane Ryan's The Girl Who Wasn't Missing, and Craig McIntyre's The Los Angeles Ripper.

 PollyGrind will be the U.S. premiere for Darren Ward's A Day of Violence and Ginnetta Correli's The Earl Sessions.

The event will also screen the latest from the legendary underground filmmakers Eric Stanze (Ratline), Herschell Gordon Lewis (The Uh-Oh Show), Bill Zebub (Night of the Pumpkin), Joe Castro (The Summer of Massacre), Caleb Emerson (Frankie in Blunderland), Sean Garrity (Zooey & Adam), Sean Cain (Breath of Hate), Henry Weintraub (The Darkest Corner of Paradise) and Fred Vogel (Sella Turcica).

Other highlights are the debut features from Adam Rehmeier (The Bunny Game), Calvin Lee Reeder (The Oregonian), Billy Chase Goforth (25K), Sevé Schelenz (Skew), Matthew Pollack (Run Run It's Him), and Edward E. Romero (Butterfly).

Rounding out the films will be Planet of the Vampire Women (Darin Wood), Rage (Chris Witherspoon), 15 till Midnight (Wolfgang Meyer), My Demon Within (Michael Su), Seeking Wellness: Suffering Through Four Movements ( Daniel Schneidkraut), Ashes (Elias Matar), The Super (Evan Makrogiannis / Brian Weaver), El Monstro Del Mar (Stuart Simpson), Beware (Jason Daly), and The Taint (Drew Bolduc / Dan Nelson).

In addition to the feature films, there are 80-plus trailers, music videos and shorts playing the international event.

More than 20 projects are from Las Vegas filmmakers, but some of what's screening comes from as far as India, Spain, Brazil, England, Australia, Canada, Germany, Sweden and Italy, making for a nice mix of cultures, human experiences and genres on display.

"Everything from arthouse to grindhouse is here," Freeman said. "There's brutality, there's blood and nudity, there's controversy, there's exploitation, there's experimentation, there's comedy and there are movies that are quite thought provoking."

According to Freeman, action, horror, sci-fi, experimental, dark comedy, hixploitation, mumblecore, horror comedy, crime, gore, found footage, avant-garde, biker, exploitation, western, sexploitation, documentary, and then some are represented at the event.

Eight of the 13 features screened last year went on to find DVD distribution, including the top jury and audience winners Slime City Massacre and Dead Hooker in a Trunk.

This year, PollyGrind has signed on to offer DVD distribution deals from Breaking Glass Pictures to the top two winners, with other winners receiving deluxe sub-distribution packages from Apprehensive Films and Wild Eye Releasing, as well as arthouse distribution contracts from venue host theatre7.

Also up for grabs is close to $10,000 in software prizes from Sony Creative, Final Draft and Red Giant Software.

Other award-winning filmmakers, auteurs, renegades and mavericks with projects screening at the event include Briony Kidd, Atul Taishete, Michael Dunn, Oren Shai, Paul von Stoetzel, Zachary Mami, Lee Lanier, Alex Ferrari, Ernie Fosselius,Yakov Levi, Cassandra Sechler, Ryen McPherson, Kelly Schwarze, Pardis Parker, Jimmie Gonzalez and The Thompson Brothers.

Guests currently expected to be in attendance include Beverly Lynne, John Karyus, Aramis Sartorio, Brandon Slagle, Devanny Pinn, Monique Parent, Creep Creepersin, Sean Cain, Brooke Lewis, Adam Rehmeier, Edward E. Romero, James Bickert, Honey Lauren, Ginnetta Correli, Joe Castro, and Michael Su.

Lynne, who is known as The Queen of Late Night for her roles in films such as Bikini Pirates, Bewitched Housewives and I.M. Caravaggio, and Karyus, who is a self-proclaimed actor that "specializes in bringing perverts, weirdos, freaks and nerds to life," both appear in four projects.

Lynne stars in The Atonement of Janis Drake, The Las Vegas Abductions and two episodes of TanyaX, a webseries spinoff of The Girl from B.I.K.I.N.I. Karyus appears in Frankie in Blunderland, Summer of Massacre, The Gruesome Death of Tommy Pistol and Finger Bang. Sartorio, Slagle, and Pinn can all be seen in three projects each at the event.

 

After a kickoff event on Oct. 7 with a concert that features Creepersin, Of the Gods, The Roxy Gunn Project and more, PollyGrind grinds into full gear Oct. 8 with programming that starts at noon that goes into the wee hours.

The next day is another full slate of fun. During the week, PollyGrind will change up a bit. Oct. 10-11 will be double features that start at 7 p.m.

PollyGrind then takes over the bi-monthly late night talk and comedy show The Will Edwards Show on Oct. 12. Beverly Lynne and The Roxy Gunn Project will be guests. The world premiere of The Las Vegas Abductions rounds out the night.

Zombiepalooza brings five shorts and two features on Oct. 13, and a triple feature on Oct. 14 leads into all day programming on Oct. 15-16. Winning films will replay Oct. 29-30.

The PollyGrind Film Festival is all about the darker side of cinema and the artists that bring those films to life. The event celebrates individuality, diversity, creativity and empowerment by showcasing the work of filmmakers with defiantly independent visions. The festival consists of programming inspired by grindhouse theaters with features, bookended by trailers, shorts and music videos.

Located near the "Downtown Las Vegas" sign (1406 South 3rd Street, Las Vegas, NV 89104 In the arts district), theatre7 is an artlover's and indie film fan's paradise. Owned by filmmaker Derek Stonebarger, theatre7 screens independent films, doubles as an art gallery and host live theatre performances.

TAO celebrates 6 year Anniversary! Jay Z, Dre and more celebs!

  

Friday night TAO Nightclub celebrated its 1000th night.  JAY-Z hosted the event commemorating so many great parties.  The legend himself was joined by the father of the West, Dr. Dre as they held court at a dance floor table, providing inspiration for DJ Ross One who went back and forth playing each of their hits.  JAY-Z was presented with a $100,000,  15 liter bottle of Ace of Spades Champagne, delivered on a king’s throne with jokers in tow.

Jay Z

Jermaine's Cake

JAY and Dre toasted Jermaine Dupri who was also at the sold out event celebrating his 36th birthday.  TAO Las Vegas opened exactly six years ago to the night, on September 23, 2005 with a monster 30th birthday bash for Jermaine hosted by his ex Janet Jackson.  While he hung with JAY and Dre, Jermaine’s crew took over a table across the dance floor where he was joined by disco spawn and 90210 actor Evan Ross and his wife Corra Skinner. JAY-Z sent over bottles of Ace of Spades Champagne and Patron to Dupri, which was accompanied by a giant 8 foot blow up birthday cake.

Joe Jonas dined with friends at the restaurant before heading up to the club for the festivities where he joined a table that included Dancing with the Star partners Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke.  The dancing duo kept to a strict schedule and stayed in the club for about hour as they had to be up early to rehearse for Monday’s performance.  Also in the group was Jonas ex, Twilight star Ashley Green.  The two, who ended their relationship in March, have remained friends and seemed at ease hanging out and taking in the crazy TAO scene.

Also spotted on the dance floor was Dane Cook, who returned to the table where he celebrated his own birthday a few months back.  The funnyman had ladies fawning for his attention.

Up in a sky box Kelly Clarkson treated her entire band and crew to a post concert celebration.  The group of 25 had prime viewing of the dance floor and enjoyed bottles VIP style.

Michael Yo from E! dined at the Asian Bistro, enjoying Lobster Wontons, Yellowtail Jalapeno and more.

Eva loves Cake!

Eva Amurri

At LAVO, Eva Amurri was celebrating as well.  The Californication actress and daughter of Susan Sarandon reveled in her final days as an unwed woman.  Her bachelorette party started with dinner at LAVO Italian Restaurant before the group of ladies and a few token gentlemen made their way to a  VIP table in the nightclub. DJ Politik provided the soundtrack for the evening and they danced all night, with Eva donning a LAVO Bride tiara and feather boa to accompany her Herve Leger dress and Swarovski purse.  She was surprised with a cake from Gimme Some Sugar and then made a late night stop at TAO to check out the action there.
