"Lord Scott Disick" & Entourage Take Over Hyde Bellagio In Vegas! PARTY!

Scott & Kourtney W/Cake


Scott Disick and an entourage including Kourtney Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Rob Kardashian celebrated “Lord Disick’s” 30th birthday at Hyde Bellagio with a blowout bash. The birthday boy arrived on the red carpet looking sharp in a fitted tuxedo, arm-in-arm with his longtime girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian. Leaving their two young children Mason and Penelope at home with family, the Vegas weekend provided a quick escape for the couple.  

Disick’s entourage was met on the red carpet by dozens of adoring fans and a frenzy of photographers. Smiling for photos with Scott on the red carpet, Kourtney showed off her svelte figure in a black feathered skirt and body-hugging blue lace bodice, pointy black heels and a sleek bun. Kris Jenner, who dazzled in a shimmery sequined black dress and a Chanel bag, was eager to join her daughter and Scott on the carpet, but Rob Kardashian was noticeably camera shy – hanging out behind the group before making his way directly into the club. 

Scott and his group of friends and family made their way through the packed club and settled into a plush VIP table as the DJ blasted a custom “Lord Disick” anthem set to the tune of Two Chainz’ “I’m Different.” Fans clambered around the table trying to catch a glimpse of The Lord as the group toasted to the big 3-0 with flutes of champagne. Scott was joined by friends who had flown in from across the globe to celebrate his birthday, and the guys enjoyed catching up, dancing and drinking. Despite their relationship’s rocky past, Kourtney was noticeably affectionate towards Scott and seemed to genuinely enjoy letting lose for a night of celebration. 
 
Scott DJ'S
Scott shocked the crowd by jumping into the DJ booth to rap alongside his pal DJ Reach for a high-energy remix of Rihanna featuring Kanye West’s, “Diamonds.” Later on, Hyde presented the reality star with a Lord Disick-style cake adorned with a life-size frosting tie and an elaborate jewel-encrusted crown. Hyde also sent their famous gilded boat through the club to deliver a bottle of birthday bubbly to accompany the cake. Disick’s group grew throughout the evening, overflowing into neighboring tables as the friends enjoyed drinking and dancing into the early morning hours at the fountain-side hotspot. Before heading to their suites to continue the celebration, the reality star tweeted, “Thank you @hydebellagio @sbenightlife for a great #vegasbirthday!”
  
Sayer Sessions
 Sunday night was the last of three Memorial Day Weekend celebrations at Hyde Bellagio. On Friday, the nightclub welcomed The Sayers Sessions’ band, known for raw live performances and impromptu celebrity ensembles at sbe’s acclaimed live-music venue The Sayers Club in Los Angeles.

Chris Tucker Brings Laughs To The Pearl! YES In Vegas!




Sunday night Chris Tucker brought an energy-packed show to The Pearl at Palms Casino Resort. The comedian who has been in the news the last year or so for tax issues opened up the show talking about his IRS issues saying that this tour “should be called the IRS Tour because they’re getting all the money!” The actor and comedian who was clad in the same outfit he wears in the show ads (adding that he dressed the same because he wanted the audience to know it was really him!), had the crowd laughing the whole night with his physical brand of comedy, impressions and larger-than-life stage presence.


Comedian George Wallace was in attendance and caught up with Chris, along with rapper T.I. and his wife Tiny backstage at The Pearl following the show.

ABOUT CHRIS TUCKER:

Chris Tucker is best known for his role of Detective James Carter in the “Rush Hour” film series. Starting his career as a stand up comedian, Tucker’s bold sense of humor landed him a spot on “Def Comedy Jam” where he frequently performed in the 1990s.

The buzz that Tucker garnered from his many appearances as a stand up helped open doors in the film industry. Following his film debut in 1994’s “House Party 3,” Tucker achieved ‘cult classic’ status as Smokey in the stoner comedy “Friday.” Tucker’s next big movie role was in the avant-garde film “The Fifth Element.”
  
Tucker’s film career reached soaring heights as the star of the “Rush Hour” blockbuster film series. The original, along with two sequels, grossed more than $500 million in the U.S. The success of the films enabled Tucker to negotiate a salary of $25 million, making him one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood for “Rush Hour 3.”
  
Tucker recently enjoyed a well-received performance opposite Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro in the David O. Russell directed film “Silver Linings Playbook.” Tucker continues to tour performing stand-up comedy around the world.

PHARRELL At PURE Nightclub In Vegas! MDW13!




PURE Nightclub at Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino was a sight to see as GRAMMY Award-winning artist Pharrell Williams took over the mega-club for a special Memorial Day Weekend performance Saturday, May 25. Arriving to the award-winning hot spot around 12:30 a.m., the former Neptunes member hit the red carpet where he posed for photographers and waved to on-looking partygoers as they flocked to catch a glimpse of the star.

Making his way through the packed nightclub, thousands of clubgoers screamed as he passed by and shook the hands of many. The energy of the main room erupted as Williams appeared at his VIP booth located on the main stage. As the superstar stepped up to greet the crowd, the sea of devoted fans rushed the stage. Preparing for his performance the humble singer relaxed at his table along with a few of his closest friends.

Just after 1 a.m., the lights of the club went dim and the energy of the iconic destination soared with excitement as Williams took his place center stage.  “Welcome to PURE,” he stated and continue to talk about his latest project “Happy,” the theme song he wrote for the upcoming motion picture “Despicable Me 2,” and gave his fans a little sneak peak. The hip-hop sensation put on an unforgettable performance as he sang hit after hit including “Frontin’,” “I Just Wanna Love You,” “Excuse Me Miss,” “Blurred Lines” and many more. Throughout the performance he encouraged his fans to sing along as he held his mic out to the audience. Nearing the end of his mini-concert, Williams addressed the crowd and said, “I want to come out there and dance with you!” As he set down his mic and headed towards the stairs, the energy of the room reached an all-time high. As his latest hit “Get Lucky” played, the icon emerged in the middle of the masses, made his way through the dance floor, around the entire nightclub and back to his VIP table while he danced and posed for pictures with his devoted fans.

Country Artist Katie Armiger Donates Dress For Charity!


Hard Rock LIVE on the Las Vegas Strip welcomed Country artist Katie Armiger Tuesday 5/22 for a special fundraising performance.

The event was co-sponsored by 102.7 The Coyote was to benefit Children’s Miracle Network. Katie performed four songs off of her current album Fall Into Me and donated 100% of the sales of her CD from the night to Children’s Miracle Network.  Katie also hosted a meet & greet with her fans afterwards.

The accomplished young star also donated a dress designed by Joanna Chen from her appearance at the Grand Ole Opry in August 2012; which coincidentally was the same night her video for “Better In A Black Dress” went to #1, to the Hard Rock International Memorabilia Collection.

Armiger is currently touring in support of her critically acclaimed 4th release, Fall Into Me. Armiger co-wrote all fourteen songs on Fall Into Me, which she totes as a diary of the past two years of her life. Having opted to once again work with Grammy award-winning producer, Chad Carlson, on her 4th release allowed Katie to have quite a bit of control over the album’s direction. Katie has opened for some of the biggest artists in country including Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Little Big Town, Darius Rucker and most recently shared the stage with the legendary George Jones in his final concert. A big fan of giving back to the community influenced her affiliation and efforts with Children’s Miracle Network.

Are You A Burger Or Berger? Get A Free Smashburger Today!



What better way to spend today—National Burger Day—than with the Honorary “Bürgermeister” (German for “Mayor”) Oscar Goodman at Smashburger? He will be smashing burgers and working the lunch grill, while meeting and greeting customers.

All day today, Smashburger will also be giving away free burgers to anyone with the last name “Burger” or variations thereof.

After he’s done cooking, Bürgermeister Goodman will sit down and sign copies of his brand-new book, “Being Oscar,” released May 21 by Weinstein Books. Barnes and Noble will be on hand to sell copies of the book.

According to WhitePages.com, there are approximately 21,687 people in the United States with the last name “Burger” and 1,530 named “Hamburger.” Locally, there are more than 200 variations of the name as well. Either way, burger lovers with variations of “Burger” – or Berger, Weinberger, Rosenberger, etc. – in their names will receive one FREE Classic Smash™ in recognition of the holiday celebrating America’s favorite food. This offer is valid for redemption at all Smashburger locations in the United States, including the five locations in Southern Nevada. Proof of last name is required (i.e. valid driver’s license, passport or picture ID). Limit one Classic Smash per ID.

Smashburger is America’s fastest growing, fast casual “better burger” restaurant with more than 200 corporate and franchise restaurants operating in 29 states and in four international countries. The secret is in the smash. It starts with 100-percent fresh, never frozen, Certified Angus Beef that is smashed on a 400 degree flat grill to sear in its juicy flavor. To further the “better burger” experience, its delicious burgers are served on a toasted artisan bun and topped with a selection of the freshest produce, cheeses and highest-quality condiments. Smashburger’s juicy burgers are served alongside its hand-spun Häagen-Dazs® shakes, cold beers, tempting sides and regional menu items created to please the palate.

“Being Oscar” takes the reader on a tour through organized crime’s inner sanctum and into the courtroom, where Goodman argued cases about government wiretapping, an impeachment of a federal judge before the United States Senate, a drug dealer charged with assassinating a federal judge and the infamous “Black Book,” an exclusion list that banned targeted individuals from entry into the Las Vegas casinos. The book also chronicles his three-term run as the flamboyant and controversial mayor of Sin City. “Being Oscar” was released by Weinstein Books.

TODAY, Tuesday, May 28
11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.: Bürgermeister Goodman to be working the grill, greeting guests
