BUZZ CLUBS
3-day bash in Vegas
Hollywood clubbers are still recovering from a fun-filled weekend trip to the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, which celebrated its 10th anniversary with a star-studded, three-day blowout. Here’s how it all went down: Friday, owner Peter Morton hosted a dinner at the hotel’s Nobu with such pals as Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Nicky Hilton, Jesse Metcalfe, Dave Navarro, Carmen Electra and Jessica Alba, before everyone trekked to the hotel’s live music club, the Joint, to hear an intimate performance by Coldplay. And that was just the appetizer. Party people then headed to the hotel’s dance club, Body English, to catch DJ AM and rapper Tone Loc. On Saturday, actress Laura Prepon hosted a celebrity poker tournament and Navarro took home the winnings (10 Gs, to be exact). Next on the menu, guests headed to the hotel’s parking lot, where Bon Jovi performed. And then it was off to dinner at Simon’s, where Hollywood promoter and Body English owner Brent Bolthouse hosted a dinner party with Danny Masterson and Wilmer Valderrama, whose bodyguard was hypnotized by mind-
control illusionist Keith Barry. And then it was off to see Nine Inch Nails at the Joint. Later, the super group Camp Freddy performed at Body English, with such guest stars as Rob Zombie, Robbie Williams and Mark McGrath. And on Sunday, DJ Paul Oakenfold entertained folks poolside. Whew.
Vince and Carmen
We hear tonight’s Cinco de Mayo blowout at La Velvet Margarita in Hollywood is the bash to crash. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are hosting, along with everyone’s favorite icing on the cake, Carmen Electra. And check this: Cut Chemist (Jurassic 5) and Lethal (Limp Bizkit) are DJing and the bar is sponsored by Sauza
