KIM KARDASHIAN AND HER LITTLE SISTER IN TRAINING

Kim Kardashian took her little sister Kylie Jenner, to Las Vegas to show her the ropes (the art of getting paid for doing practically nothing.) At least she didn’t take Kylie clubbing – the sisters made an appearance at the opening of a restaurant called the Sugar Factory American Brasserie at the Paris hotel. Kim and her mom Kris hope that Kim’s half sisters Kylie, 13, and Kendall Jenner,15, will follow in their older sisters footsteps and become money machines. (Note that Kylie is already wearing false eyelashes.)

CHARLIE SHEEN’S BAD HABITS DON’T INTERFERE WITH HIS WORK

Why should Charlie Sheen give up drugs or anything else? When he goes to Las Vegas he stays in the most expensive hotel room IN THE WORLD: the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa at the Palms Casino Resort which rents for $40,000 a night. It’s a great place to entertain porn stars. Charlie was in Las Vegas this weekend to socialize with his favorite porn stars at the Adult Entertainment Expo. He had nonstop visitors in the 10,000 sq ft suite which has a rotating round bed with mirrored ceiling, multiple bars and butlers, and an inside/outside jacuzzi with a view – full of naked girls. After a weekend of nonstop action Charlie managed to show up on the “Two and a Half Men” ready for work, and on time Tuesday. The best of both worlds.

HOLLY MADISON IS STILL LAUGHING AT JACK BARAKAT’S JOKES

Against all odds, Holly Madison’s romance with All Time Low musician Jack Bakarat is still going strong after three months. Holly’s currently performing in Peepshow in Las Vegas and Jack’s a frequent visitor. Not only are they seen at parties and clubs all over town, but they celebrated Holly’s 32nd birthday together at Tao nightclub on December 3. Jack, 22, is obviously having tons of fun with the former “Girls Next Door” star. Jack’s adoring fans might not be happy to hear this.

TIGER WOODS WANTS TO REBUILD HIS DEMOLISHED IMAGE BY AVOIDING LAS VEGAS

A number of Las Vegas charities are crossing their fingers that Tiger Woods won’t be afraid to hold his charity foundation’s largest fundraiser, Tiger Jam, in Las Vegas this year. Tiger cancelled the event last April due to his cheating scandal. According to Norm Clarke, Woods’ PR team has been discouraging visits to party central Las Vegas in hopes of rebuilding his shattered image. But the charities are hurting financially and hoping Tiger will resurrect the event. As long as he’s not photographed nightclubbing with questionable women, what’s left of Tiger’s reputation should survive the weekend intact.

IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT THE LIBERACE MUSEUM


Judging by the number of emails we’ve received on the subject, a LOT of people are mourning the closing of the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas this week. He WAS an iconic Las Vegas entertainer – as our mothers and aunts will attest to. When the museum opened in 1979, loaded with Liberace’s extravagant costumes and sets and pianos, 450,000 people a year toured the place. Last year attendance was down to 50,000 and the people handling Liberace’s estate decided to lock the doors. The last sequin has been swept up. The Liberace collection MIGHT go on tour and hopefully will return to Las Vegas and reopen at a location closer to the strip. (The old strip mall was five miles away.) With Michael Douglas’s health in jeopardy, we don’t know if his Liberace movie with Matt Damon will ever happen. Don’t you love the photo of Liberace with Elvis?

MICHAEL JACKSON’S KIDS ARE HAPPY GOING TO SCHOOL

Michael Jackson’s kids Paris, Prince, and Blanket took a break from school and spent the weekend at the Palms in Las Vegas where Uncle Jermaine was performing at the Planet Hollywood Hotel. Jermaine’s sons Jaffar and Jermajesty and several bodyguards accompanied them. Paris and Prince are actually going to school for the first time in their lives and reportedly love it. Right now they both have security guards that follow them wherever they go on campus at the $30,000 a year Buckley school in Sherman Oaks. The family lawyer says they are adapting so well at Buckley that the guards may soon become unnecessary.

PARIS HILTON: ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

Paris Hilton’s boyfriend Cy Waits already lost his nightclub management job in Las Vegas and his next loss will probably be Paris. Paris absolutely has to stay out of trouble for a year to avoid going to jail for her drug possession rap and dating a Las Vegas playboy is flirting with danger. Paris and Cy have not been getting along since they returned from Hawaii. Her delighted parents are urging her to end her relationship with Waits NOW because he likes to party WAY too much.

PRIMPING FOR THE CAMERAS GOT PARIS HILTON IN TROUBLE

We’re puzzled by the Paris Hilton conundrum when it comes to her cocaine possession arrest in Las Vegas. According to the AP, police smelled marijuana drifting out of the car occupied by Paris and her boyfriend Cy Waits and they were pulled over near the Wynn Hotel. Cy was arrested for DUI and when looky-loos started to gather and take photos, Paris asked if they could go inside the hotel. In the lobby she sensed the arrival of cameras, so she pulled her lip gloss out of her purse and in doing so, a small packet of cocaine fell out. Hence, SHE was arrested for possession of a controlled substance. Paris has already made it clear that she plans to claim it wasn’t HER purse. If it wasn’t her purse, what was her lip gloss doing in there? She can leave it to her high-powered lawyer to figure this one out.

MICHAEL JORDAN’S SONS MARCUS AND JEFFREY SPEND HIS MONEY ALMOST AS FAST AS HE EARNS IT

We wonder how Michael Jordan reacted when he heard that his two college age sons blew 56 thousand dollars at nightclubs in Las Vegas in ONE evening! Marcus, 19, and Jeffrey, 21, reported for classes at the University of Central Florida this week, but they had a nice fling in Vegas before hitting the books. Last weekend the boys visited their father, who was holding fantasy basketball camp at the Mirage Hotel. (Well-heeled participants pay $15,000 for three days.) Marcus and Jeffrey hit the town that night and later they foolishly tweeted to friends that they had squandered $21,000 at Liquid and $35,000 at Haze nightclub. We’re thinking they might live to regret THAT revelation.

SIEGFRIED & ROY: MALE ASSISTANTS BEWARE!

Roy Horn – half of the Las Vegas tiger taming duo Siegfried & Roy, has been accused of sexually attacking his male assistants – in spite of the fact that he’s crippled. He was mauled by a white tiger at the Mirage Hotel in 2003 and still has such limited movement that he needs round the clock care. He’s gone through a dozen male assistants in the past two years and an employee finally installed a hidden camera in Roy’s bedroom. The Enquirer obtained the videotape which shows Roy blatantly molesting one assistant after another. So far, only one sexually harassed assistant is filing a lawsuit, but more might follow.
