Britney Spears Not Heading To Vegas

Britney Spears' former manager Larry Rudolph has denied reports that his former client is heading to Las Vegas to stage her big comback.

The stories began to circulate after Spears was spotted dining with George Maloof Jr., the owner of the Palms Hotel and Casino, recently in Los Angeles.

Rudolph, who was principle in the success of Spears early in her career, dismissed claims the popstar is in secret negotiations, telling the Las Vegas Review Journal, "She's not here (in Las Vegas) and she's not coming. I wouldn't lie to you."

KFed's Big Weekend

LOS ANGELES - Kevin Federline might play the part of the pauper to his pop princess ex-wife Britney Spears, but in Las Vegas he is king.

Federline spent over $43,000 on Las Vegas hotels, dining and shopping between May 2007 and January of this year, according to documents filed by Federline's attorney in his custody battle with Spears. The documents were released by the Superior Court on Thursday.

The tabs included $1,445 for clothing at Gianni Versace, $3,863 at TAO nightclub, and $3,008 at the Hard Rock Beach Club. He appears determined not to be branded a cheap tipper. At Scores strip club, he dropped a cool $2,000 on a $365 meal bill.

Meanwhile, his company, Gooseneck Productions, Inc., spent $841,129 in 2007 while earning $544,075, according to the documents. The aspiring rapper also spent big on attempts to prop up his struggling music career.

Federline had $74,102 in "music production" expenses, but earned only $9,849 in "music income," according to the documents, which did not elaborate. The Superior Court commissioner dealing with the Federline-Spears custody battle has consistently awarded Federline attorneys fees.

In March, Spears' divorce attorney, Stacy Phillips, argued that Federline's attorneys were overbilling, and her client should not be required to pay. Phillips said that Federline tipped extravagantly. Indeed, a credit card statement showed a $1,100 tip for a $2,782 bill at a Los Angeles restaurant.

Federline still owed $343,834 in fees to his attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, when the documents released Thursday were filed in January. Spears pays her ex-husband $15,000 per month in child support for 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James. Her monthly spousal support payments of $20,000 ended in November.

The accounting statement mixes personal expenses, like $1,500 per week for a nanny to care for the two toddlers, and business expenses, like $2,500 per month for his manager. The bulk of Federline's income came from his work on a Nationwide car insurance commercial that aired during the Super Bowl. Federline was paid $377,000 for playing a fry cook who dreams of being a rap star, wearing fur coats and flashing huge diamond rings.

He earned $15,000 for appearing at his 29th birthday party at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas, and $50,000 for a series of appearances at Las Vegas clubs in December 2007.
Federline also pays $18,228 per month in child support, rent and private school tuition for his two children from a previous relationship.

Pam’s ‘LapLand’ Franchise

Pammy Anderson may soon open up a chain of strip joints if the message she left on her website is at all true. This is a good move for her, because that's basically what she's doing now. She might as well make bank on it.

She simply wrote, “I'm going to look into opening a chain of strips club and I’ll call them LAPLAND!!!”



She's currently in Finland promoting her stint in that Las Vegas magic show. She'll return next week to continue her summer job.

Vegas Round Up: Christina Aguilera Parties With The Pussycat Dolls

It was the premiere of provocative parade of platinum pulchritude.

The positive power of the Pussycat Dolls was proven when preening pop princess Christina Aguilera, along with the LA Pussycats, partied, purred and promenaded at PURE in Caesars Palace until dawn this morning.


A tempting tease of thigh, a saucy sampling of stockings, a barrage of bras and a glimpse of garters all came together in a festival of flesh for the grand opening of the new Pussycat Dolls Casino outside the jam-packed nightclub.

Call it high-heeled heaven at "Silicone Central" in the kingdom of cleavage! It's the first time in Vegas history that there's been a choreographed casino where the sexy girls, wearing next to nothing, get more eyeballs than the cards being dealt! Twenty one is more likely to be the waist size of the dealer and "bust" has little to do with going over!

Christina, the Pussycat Dolls and Danity Kane had their "Back to Basics" tour winning standing ovations and numerous curtain calls at Mandalay Bay before the new casino unveiling. The girls of Danity Kane headed to rival nightclub TAO in The Venetian for their after-concert bash while Christina and the Pussycat Dolls set up their party-hearty Headquarters in PURE, after officially opening their go-go gaming Garden of Eden. The Pussycat Dolls couldn't wait to play blackjack, and believe it or not, it was beginners luck first time out!

There was ten times the energy and crowds of Britney's New Years Eve party when Christina and the Pussycats marched into the PURE and took over the VIP cabana bed section. Christina sipped on Chardonnay smiling for fans and chatting with her tour's cast and crew, which she'd brought along.

Two beds over, even baby-faced MTV comedian Andy Milonakis joined the Dolls. When DJ Hollywood played their hit song 'Buttons,' the crowd went so wild they even drowned out the music. The Dolls went to the edge of the balcony overlooking the dance floor with arms wide open and waving to fans who were in a flashbulb frenzy!

A-List'ers Ditch Paris’ Party

Paris Hilton didn't invite her best friend Kim Kardashian to her 26th birthday party in Las Vegas because she was afraid Kim's sex tape would distract from her. A source says: "She didn't want Kim on the red carpet stealing her thunder." Unfortunately, even the people who were invited didn't show up as she got stood up by A-list celebrities and even her friends.

Sources say there were no names there except her sister, and at one point Paris announced on a microphone that Nicole Richie was "on her way" but Richie never showed up.

But even without many boldfaces, things at the after-party at the Penthouse Suite got a little odd. After downing TY KU liquor and bottles of Dom Perignon, guests reported seeing Hilton play with a monkey while a band of midgets led a pack of goats around the room.

Boy, she sure makes that Caligula seem like a fucking amateur, doesn’t she?

The Hiltons Hit Vegas

The Hilton sisters are back in Vegas again, and will be there to celebrate Paris’ birthday with ex-flame Stavros Niarchos.

“They are back together again and in full force,” one of their friends divulged.

Meanwhile little sister Nicky will be debuting her new couture fashion line in a premiere showcase.

Paris’ birthday bash will take place on Saturday at Body English in the Hard Rock, and Nicky’s introduction of her new “Nicholai” label is at PURE in Caesars Palace.

In related news, the 25-year-old heiress is picking up a $1-million paycheck for flying to Vienna, Austria yesturday, for a dinner-dance date with an ageing European mogul who shelled out the astronomical fee for Paris to attend the famous Opera Ball.

Ha, I wonder what else he got for that money? Well I guess it's true what they say – money can’t by you taste.

Las Vegas: Playground To The Stars

HEADLINE stars Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth, who are about to start an eight-week shoot of their new '21' movie all around Vegas, did "research" at the Playboy Club at the Palms.

Kevin took a quick walk through, but Kate stayed most of the night playing blackjack and enjoying Dom Perignon champagne and Grey Goose vodka at a reserved booth in the middle of the gaming lounge.

'21' is the true story of the Boston college students who created an infallible mathematical solution to beat Vegas casinos. Ironically, the Vegas gambling haunts that booted the real troublemakers from town are now hosting the movie maker stars! The cast is shooting at the Aladdin, Hard Rock and Red Rock using some of our city's real-life dealers.

Meanwhile across town...

Happy Birthday congratulations to Lisa-Marie Presley, who celebrated her 39th birthday bash over the weekend with mom Priscilla in tow and Roseanne Barr in the party group.

They dined at TAO and then hit the upstairs TAO nightclub watching all the dancing revelers from an upper-deck VIP skybox rather than in the VIP dance floor section. Next night, Priscilla and Lisa-Marie sat up until 2:30AM, sipping cocktails at Caramel ultra lounge in the Bellagio.

Elsewhere, to celebrate four sold out shows at the Luxor this weekend, comedian Artie Lange partied at the Hard Rock's Body English nightclub with co-producer Jeff Beacher and a flock of audience members they'd invited over from his last late show.

Partying with them was Wesley Snipes, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Laura Prepon, Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson to name just a few.

Miss Oklahoma Lauren Nelson Crowned Miss America 2007

'There She Is ...' Miss Oklahoma Lauren Nelson beat out 51 other gorgeous ladies tonight to become Miss America 2007 and the winner of a $50,000 scholarship.

Within minutes of winning, the 20-year-old from Lawton, OK brushed back tears to tell Luxe Life, "This organization saved my life. I'm so very excited. This is a dream I never thought would come true. I watched Miss America as a little girl, since I was two-years-old, and never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be Miss America. But that's what's wonderful about this organization."

The victory is nothing new for the state of Oklahoma, which was represented in 2006 by outgoing Miss America Jennifer Berry, who gave Luxe Life her final interview as Miss America, which we posted earlier today. It's also the third time that one state has had back-to-back winners. In 1935 and 1936 it was Pennsylvania, and in 1959 and 1960 it was Mississippi. With Nelson's win, Oklahoma becomes the most winning state, with six winners in the 87 years of the pageant.

Nelson said she will soon be seeking Berry's advice on what life will be like as the new Miss America. "Jennifer and I are friends," she said. "I haven't spoken to her in a few days, but her phone number will be on speed dial. I'll probably be talking to her tonight."

After 90 minutes of competition, it came down to five finalists, all from the southern part of the country. In addition to Miss Oklahoma, the other finalists are (pictured below in order) Miss Georgia Amanda Kozak, Miss Texas Shilah Phillips , Miss Alabama Melinda Toole and Miss Mississippi Taryn Foshee.

The Miss America Pageant has the swimsuit and evening gown competitions, but is different from other pageants in that it features a talent competition with the five finalists performing live.

"After i was one of the top ten semi-finalists, everything else was icing on the cake and I said 'Now I can just have fun,' said the new Miss America. "Being in the top five, I was just so excited to sing on national TV."

After the the talent competition, the five ladies stood nervously before a theater audience of 7,000 and another 30 million watching the live broadcast on CMT from the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Then it was narrowed to three, Miss Oklahoma, Miss Georgia and Miss Texas.

Each lady was interviewed and then the judges -- Chris Matthews, Debbie Allen, Michael Feinstein, Nigel Barker and Susan Powell -- cast their final vote and decided that Miss Oklahoma would hold the Miss America crown for the next 12 months. Miss Texas was first runner up and Miss Georgia was named second runner up. The other popular award of the night, Miss Congeniality, went to Miss Alabama.

"When Mario Lopez said my name, my knees buckled. I went straight to the ground," said Miss America. "The emotions inside are so surreal to know I have the crown on my head and the sash says 'Miss America 2007.'"

When football players win the Super Bowl, they usually say they are going to Disney World, but after winning Miss America, the one-time Miss Teen Lawton said she wants to go somewhere else. "I'd like to eat some caramel cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate," she said.

There was also another beauty queen celebrating in Las Vegas last night, as former Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees won a crown to replace the one she lost when nude photos of her surfaced on the Internet.
