CARROT TOP LOST FIFTY POUNDS OF MUSCLE

Things are happening in Las Vegas besides The Grammys. It was opening night for magician Criss Angel’s new show Amystika at the Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood. Las Vegas regular Carrot Top turned up for the celebration and he looked normal – quite different from the last time we saw him. Remember a few years ago when Carrot Top says he became obsessed with working out in the gym three hours a day, and he turned into a 50-pounds-heavier bulging muscle monster? At the time he denied using steroids – but doesn’t everyone? Anyway, it appears he found a better use for his time…

CRISS ANGEL IS GETTING HIS ACT TOGETHER

Las Vegas illusionist/heavy metal magician Criss Angel, 51, has had a tumultuous career, but his home life seems to have settled down. He’s been married and divorced twice, with multiple girlfriends and lawsuits in between, but now he’s reconciled with his second wife, Shaunyl Benson. Their five year old son Johnny has been successfully fighting a rare form of leukemia and Criss just made a generous donation to the Cure 4 Kids foundation. He and Shaunyl recently had another son, Xristos and they seem to be living happily unmarried ever after.

DR ROBERT REY IS THE DOCTOR IN BLACK

#robertrey

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr Robert Rey (Dr 90210) never disappoints. He’s always got a unique look but now we think he’s starting to resemble Las Vegas illusionist Criss Angel. You can tell which one is a doctor by the stethoscope around his neck. They could be brothers! Dr Rey was at the Seminole Casino in Hollywood, Florida, for a fan “meet and greet.” He brought along samples of his work – breast and penile implants – and he answered all his eager fans questions about cosmetic surgery. His outfit IS a little bit “Chippendale’s.”

DAVID BLAINE IS BIGGER THAN EVER AND CRISS ANGEL DOESN’T MIND

Since David Blaine’s model girlfriend became pregnant, HE has been plumping up. An no one is happier about it that his arch rival – magician Criss Angel. David and Criss are credited for making magic hip and sexy. Both started out doing their acts in the streets – Criss has his TV show “Mindfreak” and many of David’s tests of endurance (hanging upside down, holding his breath, etc) have been televised. Both are highly skilled musicians and entertainers, but now Criss has the edge looks-wise. Unless, of course, David is beefing up for some form of starvation endurance stunt.

How many people out there think that Criss Angel might be USING Holly Madison to drum up publicity for his new Las Vegas show? She appeared for the opening night festivities of Angel’s lavish “Believe” extravaganza at the Luxor – which has been getting mixed reviews during sneak peeks. Angel promises that all the glitches that appeared during previews have been ironed out. Meanwhile he was all over Holly for the cameras.

HOLLY MADISON IS USING CRISS ANGEL TO MAKE HEF JEALOUS

Holly Madison is using the oldest trick in the book to push Hugh >Hefner into marrying her. She’s been pressuring the ageing Playboy mogul for years because she wants a wedding and she wants children -not to mention financial security. Hef, who has yet to divorce his last wife, seemed to be loosening up on the baby angle because they were seen together a few months ago in the office of a fertility doctor. Apparently nothing came of it, and now Holly’s pulling out the big guns – in the form of a younger better looking guy: She’s making Hef jealous with Las Vegas illusionist Criss Angel. Of course, Holly and WE know that Criss is hardly boyfriend material and so far Hef doesn’t seem worried. It wouldn’t be easy for Holly to leave the luxurious Playboy mansion life. We wonder if she will. As for the other girls, they can be replaced and The Girls Next Door could continue.

Two reasons to be cautious when visiting MGM Grand’s new adults only Wet Republic: Wilmer Valderrama and Criss Angel. The brand new huge watery playground consists of two jumbo saltwater pools, plus waterfalls galore and king size “daybeds.” They even have an ankle deep wading pool/ bar. Add music and cocktails of the frozen variety and private bungalows and you have a potent combination. Just watch out for guys like this.

CRISS ANGEL IS OUTRAGED WHEN GIRLFRIEND LOSES BEAUTY PAGEANT

Criss Angel seems to be turning into quite a little tyrant in Las Vegas. His current girlfriend Veronica Grabowski, Miss Nevada USA, didn’t make it to the finals in the Miss USA pageant last weekend. The illusionist was so incensed in the audience that he made an obscene gesture at the NBC camera. Angel was also seething because local gossip columnist Norm Clarke had written something about him intimidating a judge in the contest. (Norm is noted for the eyepatch he wears for medical reasons.) Furious Criss chased Norm down after the show, yelling more obscenities, and cornered him, threatening “Don’t ever write another word about me – or you’ll need a patch on your other eye!”

Nobody was more disappointed when Pamela Anderson changed her mind about divorcing Rick Salomon than her exhusband Tommy Lee. Tommy and Pam’s other exhusband Kid Rock have something in common- they both hate Salomon. They think he’s a low-life and not right for Pam. Tommy loathes the idea of his kids spending time with Rick. Could it be more than a coincidence that Tommy’s close friend Criss Angel spent time with Pam in Las Vegas and most likely caused the blow-up that led Pam to file for divorce?

WHAT'S CRISS ANGEL DOING WITH PAM ANDERSON?

What did Criss Angel have to do with Pamela Anderson’s impulsive filing for divorce from Rick Salomon? Pam filed Friday and she was seen partying with Criss at LAX in Las Vegas on Saturday, according to Vegas columnist Norm Clarke. By Sunday, Pam and Rick had started reconciling. We can’t help but wonder if Criss was the CAUSE of the temporary bustup or just a shoulder for Pam to cry on. Somehow we feel he’s involved. And keep in mind, Criss is Tommy Lee’s new best friend.
