The controversial Kevin Federline is going ahead in 48 hours time with his weekend birthday party plans at PURE nightclub - despite his separated wife, Britney Spears beiing released earlier than expected from the Promises rehabilitation clinic in Santa Monica. However he has just cancelled the planned previous night's back-to-back birthday bash in Los Angeles.

But insiders whisper that's because organizers couldn't find a national magazine to cough up the required $25,000 for exclusive photo and story rights. PURE inside Caesars Palace is reportedly paying his demanded personal appearance fee and other expenses for his weekend visit and the pals he's flying in with.

He'll celebrate with champagne and a birthday cake with the Pussycat Dolls ironically in the same VIP cabana bed where Britney collapsed less than three months ago at her New Years Eve celebration there and which began the downward spiral of her bizarre behaviour that wound up with her in rehab.

The freshly 'Kristened' Lucky Strike Lanes survived the first BUBA league night.

BUBA is of course the acronym for the Beacher Unprofessional Bowling Association presented by namesake comedian Jeff Beacher and Pure Management Group.

With 128 teams vying for the grand prize trip to the Bahamas, the first round got off to a rolling start with fierce completion on each lane. Representation from around Sin City was in full force as teams including N9NE Steakhouse, Las Vegas Food & Beverage Magazine, SpyOn Vegas, CLI Vacations, Spearmint Rhino, Club Paradise and 18 other teams took it to the alley. Cast members from 'Beacher's Madhouse' entertained the crowd all night with their wacky antics.

We start with Cuba Gooding, Jr. who gets his own star-spotting section as he was tireless during his Vegas weekend premiering his new film "What Love Is' at Brenden Theatres at the Palms. He joins other celebs like Shaquille O' Neal, Toni Braxton and Hugh Hefner to name a few to receive a Brenden Celebrity Star and was spotted at Little Buddha at the Palms with multiplex mogul, Johnny Brenden. Pictured above with 'What Love Is' co-star Mars Callahan, he was spotted multiple nights at the Playboy Club and Moon Nightclub at the Palms where he hosted his movie premiere after-party.

Cuba also took in The Dan Band performance at The Joint in the Hard Rock and gave them a standing ovation. Before the group's show he played blackjack for a couple of hours with friends at the casino.

Las Vegas is considered by many to be the undisputed leader of nightlife in the United States, and for some, the absolute paramount in all the world. And it's really no surprise. Few cities can touch our exceedingly high operating budgets, aren't restrained by invasive alcohol laws, or can even come close to accommodating an almost 'excessive' customer base that will pour in seven nights a week with one thing on their mind – to go home with stories that will last a lifetime. What this means for club operators, and ultimately for club goers, is that Las Vegas nightlife is able to provide what very few others can – a multi-million dollar clubbing experience that caters to both millionaires and the 'Average Joe.'

Of course, it wasn't always this way. Prior to 2001, Las Vegas was only beginning to realize the additional benefits that nightlife could provide to its overall bottom line, and just as things were starting to pick up throughout our city, 9/11 changed everything. After the September terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C., Las Vegas tourism took a serious dive and it was nearly 18 months before it would recover enough to sustain any notable entertainment growth. During this time, only a handful of clubs were even open, and few resembled anything close to 'modern Vegas nightlife.' However, once the dust settled and the coast was clear, Las Vegas did what it always has done and came back considerably stronger than it ever was before.

Everyone agrees Lucky Strike Lanes bowled a perfect game during it's grand opening celebration last night. The new Rio hot spot from the same folks responsible for PURE and Social House was buzzing over the bowling, bites, beverages and beautiful MTV star Kristin Cavallari from 'Laguna Beach' who hosted the opening party.

Kristin kicked the night off at Social House with friends on the terrace where Chef Joe Elevado prepared a special menu of Kobe burgers and a small feast of sushi rolls, followed by a delectable dessert sampler.

Celebrities are known for celebritying in their fields of expertise so I wasn't too concerned when 'Laguna Beach' star Kristin Cavallari hit the gutter with her innaugural ball during the grand opening party of Lucky Strike Lanes she hosted in Vegas.

Pure Management Group has been busy. In addition to maintaining their celebrity playgounds at PURE and Social House, not to mention other top spots like Tangerine and Coyote Ugly to name a couple more of their venues, they have simultaneously been opening a South Beach location of PURE in Miami and this week, are celebrating the opening of their new upscale bowling alley, nightclub, eatery aptly named Lucky Strike Lanes at the Rio with 'Laguna Beach' star Kristin Cavallari and LUXE LIFE has your first look photographs.

"Lucky Strike Lanes is a fun and unique project that we are excited about opening," said Robert Frey, Managing Partner of Pure Management Group. "We will welcome everyone in for food and fun during the day, and at night it will be a fusion of nightlife and sport to create a one-of-a-kind experience."

Vegas is about to get its newest and most extreme attraction. My friends, Martha Stewart and moon astronaut Buzz Aldrin, pictured with Yours Truly, along with cast members of 'The Apprentice' and 'The Biggest Loser' have been among the celebrities to take flight in Zero Gravity -- the first and only FAA-approved commercial weightless flights.

It's the only way to experience true "weightlessness" without going into space. This is the identical weightless flight experience used by NASA to train its astronauts and used by Ron Howard and Tom Hanks to film Apollo-13. G-FORCE ONE, ZERO-G's specially modified Boeing 727-200 aircraft, will depart from Signature Air Terminal at McCarran International Airport as of next month. Each ZERO-G mission is designed for maximum fun.

Reformed rapper, Kevin Federline, has yet another scheme to hold onto his 15 minutes of fame as Britney Spears' separated husband. He's going head-to-head against the giant Google internet search engine with an astounding self-annointed launch prromotion.

He's betting you'll want to party with him on his birthday so much so that you'll switch to his new Internet search engine for the opportunity to win a passport into his inner circle of friends at the birthday celebration.

If you search the web every day, now you can win ultra-VIP party invites doing it. Kevin Federline is offering fans ,who search the web via his www.searchwithkevin.com, an exclusive opportunity to win tickets to his private birthday bashes in Los Angeles (March 21) and at PURE here in Las Vegas (March 24).

It was a midnight arrival for smartly-dressed buzz-cut Kevin Federline (suspiciously looking almost as bald as Britney Spears) at Beatles Revolution Lounge in the Mirage. He promptly had the privacy curtains of his VIP interactive table booth drawn closed in an attempt to enjoy a little privacy and respite from fans and their flashbulbs! His party group included brother, Chris, heavyweight comic Jeff Beacher and Weeman Jason Acuna from 'Jackass.' K-Fed's drink of choice was Gentleman's Jack and Coca Cola, although he was spotted taking a few sips directly from the Grey Goose vodka bottle! Despite several females jockeying for a hallowed spot inside his entourage, Kevin remained solo right until 3:30AM when he called it a night. Thankfully, unlike Britney during her New Year's Eve bash, K-Fed was able to get through the night without passing out.

Kevin Federline made it clear Saturday night that he is no wild and crazy character, unlike his soon-to-be ex-wife Britney Spears as of late. The rapper arrived at the door of The Beatles Revolution Lounge inside the Mirage just after midnight where he posed for photos. He was peaceful, relaxed and smiling in his suited and buzz-cut look (much preferred to the braids and wifebeater...) as security led him to his white, leather VIP booth which had been pre-set with Grey Goose, Gentleman Jack, mixers, martini glasses of assorted candies, bowls of popcorn and pretzels, cigarettes, spearmint gum, Red Bull, and vast platters of raw vegetables with dip and a fruit plate. Though he and his entourage of 10 or so had just dined in a private room at the Mirage's Japonaise restaurant, 10 covered plates of chicken were brought out, too. Just prior to K-Fed's arrival, DJ Leo Teo had been spinning back-to-back Justin Timberlake songs.

It was the premiere, 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.

Overnight, Kevin Federline has gone from rapper dud to super dad! But he'll abandon his Mr. Mom role of caring for Britney Spears' two infants this weekend on a Vegas visit. Ever since the pop princess imploded and shaved her head bald to windup in a Malibu rehab treatment center for alcohol and drug abuse, K-Fed has been sharing parenting duties of 18-month-old Sean Preston and five-month-old Jayden James with Britney's mom. Lynne. But come midnight tomorrow, he'll host and make his debut appearance at the new Beatles Revolution Lounge at the Mirage. Kevin might even be tempted to spin his own records because the next night, Sunday, he's followed in by rocker Tommy Lee as DJ host. Fed-Ex will leave the babies with Britney's mom while he's here. Meantime Britney remains at the Promises spa-type rehab center near the Malibu home they shared before her divorce filing and which is currently up for sale with a $10-million-plus pricetag!

The prince of pop Michael Jackson, who now calls Vegas home, is becoming increasingly visible as he gets more and more comfortable here.

Recently he even took his children back to his favorite Wing Lei Chinese restaurant at the Wynn to show them Chinese New Year celebrations. Then it was a return visit to the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace before watching the near two-hour magic show which was the highlight ending of the World Magic Seminar at the Orleans. Siegfried & Roy actually spotted him and told the other magicians at the convention.

LUXE LIFE readers will know from our exclusive Michael Jackson interview a month ago that he is absolutely fascinated with illusions and magic tricks. Today, Michael is in meetings with movie theater executives for business discussions as he still plots and plans the next steps of his major show business return. His dad, Joe Jackson, who has now become involved again in Michael's future, is helping set up exploratory business negotiations and developments.

Two respected sources in recent days have indicated that Joe's return validates rumors of a "family summit" held a week ago to jump start plans for a new world tour with both Janet and Michael singing separately, then in duets and closing the show together with all the Jackson siblings! My NYC pal, Fox News gossip guru Roger Friedman reported that Atlanta concert promoter Leonard Rowe, who worked with the family during its heyday, wanted a new Jackson family tour with all its members -- Janet, Rebbie, Jermaine, Randy, Marion and Tito -- and Michael apparently agreed to it.


LUXE LIFE readers will again remember that the Jackson patriarch was reunited with his daughter at the Venetian's TAO Nightclub during last fall's birthday celebrations, as seen in the right photo above. Insiders have already polled selected worldwide promoters who have given the plan an enthusiastic thumbs up, saying it could start overseas where their fan base is still incredibly loyal and strong and then returning as heroes to the U.S., winding back up on the Strip where, ironically in the '70s, the Jackson Five were regular headliners! Fox News gossip reported that Michael recently refinanced new mortgages on his parent's home and Neverland Ranch and that if everything came together with the tour would help pay down all of the family's current financial obligations.

Michael is also "reviewing and evaluating," several offers for Vegas productions, according to his spokeswoman Raymone K. Bain. She's even issued a statement to refute rumors that he can't find work in Las Vegas and that he will appear or perform on 'American Idol.'

"Mr. Jackson has been presented numerous proposals -- proposals which he has not solicited, but were presented to him, several of which include performing in Las Vegas," Bain said in her press statement.
"Mr. Jackson is currently reviewing and evaluating each proposal. He does not believe that he is under any time constraint for making his decisions."

And for the first time she explained why Michael decided to move to Vegas last Christmas Eve: "Mr. Jackson did not move to Las Vegas to shop a Vegas show. Mr. Jackson is in Las Vegas because he likes the city and found it a convenient location to record with the artists, songwriters and producers who are working with him in the studio."

CRISS ANGEL'S CSI DEBUT
It was just three weeks ago that CBS show 'CSI: NY' shot a magic-themed episode here in Vegas with 'Mindfreak' Criss Angel. Network officials wasted no time in racing it right through editing to broadcast it tonight. The popular series stars Gary Sinise as detective Mac Taylor, a former Marine Corps officer who conducts investigations according to Veneziano's everything-is-connected theory of quantum physics, and Melina Kanakaredes as detective Stella Bonaserra. Criss plays magician, Luke Blade who becomes a prime suspect as his assistants die off! Criss who is currently filming the third season of his own A&E TV series at the Luxor will be guest of honor tonight at a 10PM screening party the hotel executives and staff are throwing for him inside the resort's theater lobby . "I almost wasn't around to watch the completed show," Criss told LUXE LIFE after he almost drowned doing a Houdini escape stunt in the Luxor's pool. (Click here for our exclusive LUXE LIFE interview yesterday about his near drowning death).

GOLD DIGGER DOLLARS

Twice a year, the Bellagio's Light Nightclub throws a unique "gold diggers" party. Dancers from the club and female guests are able to collect "gold dollars" by performing legal, but wild, requests from customers and this time around even Grandmaster Flash and members of the alternative rock band Stone Temple Pilots were handing out super-sized tips. Naturally, this being Vegas, the girls who collect the most amount of money are able to cash in the coin for a little cosmetic help from a plastic surgeon!

EXPENSIVE REAL ESTATE
One of the most expensive homes in America has just had a "For Sale" affixed to it. It's a 210-acre property north of here on Lake Tahoe. A mere $100-million will make you the new owner of "Tranquility" with its 20,000 square feet of living space and a 35,000-bottle wine cellar and 19-seat movie theater! It's owned by Tommy Hilfiger co-founder Joel Horowitz.



Just a little too steep for your budget? Well, ask singer Smokey Robinson for help. He's been quite a real estate wheeler-dealer since moving to Vegas and his Opai Valley, Henderson home (seen above) has just gone on the market for $1.9 million. He's also selling a luxurious $10-million mansion in California in order to develop nearby land in Chatsworth he acquired last year! Smokey's three-bedroom house in the gated Seven Hills golf club community is a one story, 4,420 square feet, nine room, three baths estate complete with a pool, spa, and three-car garage. Smokey bought the house in 2003 for $1.2 million.

ROCK THE RABBIT

Actor Dennis Hopper introduced the Whitestarr rockers at a special hour-long concert in Rain at the Palms. It was all to promote Playboy's new magazine music salutes 'Rock the Rabbit' and Rhymefest followed with another performance. All the commotion brought out the Playboy bunnies and Whitestarr's Cisco Adler (seen above) proposed at first sight and almost married Miss March 2007, Tyran Richard right on the spot! After their shows, the groups partied up at the Fantasy Towers rooftop Playboy Club with a bevy of beauties including Monica Leigh (Miss Mar 06) Amanda Paige (Miss Oct 05) Shallan Meira (Miss Sept 02) and Jordan Monroe (Miss Oct 06)

STRIP SCRIBBLES
Some diary dates not to miss out on: the unique Lucky Strike Lanes that PURE nightclub group is launching as a sports ultra-lounge at the Rio is set for March 15, with comedy heavyweight Jeff Beacher starting his own celebrity bowling league tournament. ... Four days later, on March 19, Wolfgang Puck opens his new RIVA poolside restaurant serving from 8AM to 4PM daily at The Venetian and then TAO opens up the same pool-deck for nightlife adventures with access right from the nightclub's dance floor. The wild, outrageous Rehab pool parties will resume as of April 29 at the Hard Rock.


My friend Stephen Sorrentino (seen above) is the new headliner at the Imperial Palace Legends in Concert show and his comedy impression of Sir Elton John, who appears in real-life directly across the Strip at Caesars Palace, is a total laugh-a-minute sensation. ... Amazing Johnathan has had to change his night off at his Sahara showroom so he can work on developing a new TV project in Los Angeles. So he will now "go dark" each Wednesday and Thursday to give him 48-hours of round-the-clock work in Hollywood.

TONIGHT'S TIP
Extraordinary hit-maker Neil Sedaka plays the piano and sings his chart toppers at the Orleans starting tonight thru Sunday. ... Musiq Soulchild is Prince's special guests at his 3121 Club in the Rio. ... Twenty of America's top pole-dancing schools perform at Rockhouse and the Miss Strip Las Vegas 2007 contest is underway at the Men's Club. ... The Tennis Channel Tournament continues at Darling Stadium.

TOMORROW'S TEASE
LUXE LIFE has an extraordinary interview with the Bellagio chef who went from the mean streets of the ghetto to a Strip stove. It really is a journey from dealing drugs to serving up gourmet delicacies. Jeff Henderson will appear on Oprah Winfrey's show tomorrow with his emotional turnaround life story but LUXE LIFE has it all first right here! Plus in an all-chef special edition we'll meet the Four Seasons miracle workers who flew to Hawaii for the Food network's carving showdown!

(CLICK HERE FOR PHOTOS FROM ELIZABETH TAYLOR'S DIAMOND JUBILEE!)

British born Hollywood screen legend Dame Elizabeth Taylor celebrates her diamond jubilee tomorrow night, unexpectedly out at Lake Las Vegas. A small group of family and friends will fete her at a quiet and very private celebration.

I've known La Liz over many years and have extraordinary memories of our friendly and sometimes feisty meetings around the world. Some of those highlights:


- I sailed with her from Singapore to Bangkok on Malcolm Forbes' mega-yacht and then flew back with her to the States from Thailand. For the tabloids around the world it all looked like a pre-honeymoon trip but, for those on the cruise, we knew they were just "great friends."

- I attended her wedding to Senator John Warner in Virginia horse-farm country and then rode with her on his political campaign bus as she too stumped for votes! Our story and photos wound up on the cover of a newborn People magazine back then.

- I watched in amazement at Sardi's celebrity packed restaurant on Broadway in New York City as she caught then husband Richard Burton cheating on her with Susan Hunt and then confronted them three tables away from mine!

- I remember when we both attended a private showing of Erte's paintings and sculptures at a prestigious Beverly Hills gallery she managed to sweet talk me into buying her one of the art pieces as a gift! Fortunately, I then managed to sweet-talk owner Harris Shapiro into selling it to me wholesale.

- When I asked her why she had ever married construction worker Larry Fortensky she explained: "I can't sleep around and have lots of boyfriends. I always marry my lovers. There have only been seven in my lifetime." She kindly gave me all the details of her wedding feast and party to put in my first 'Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous' cookbook!

It's fitting, the day after the 79th Oscars, to remember that Elizabeth, who's film career began at age 12 with 'National Velvet,' which won two Academy Awards. She also won for Best Actress in 'Butterfield 8' in 1960 with then husband Eddie Fisher, and again six years later for 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe,' which co-starred then husband Richard Burton. She was nominated for three other movies and in 1963 became the first-ever million-dollar actress when she became the highest paid movie star as 'Cleopatra,' where she worked for the first time with future husband Burton.

Elizabeth's other marriages were hotel-heir Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, Jr. in May 1950, which ended in divorce in 1951, actor Michael Wilding, which ended in divorce five years later, and the greatest love of her life, movie producer Michael Todd, which ended with his untimely 1958 death. Elizabeth always said that if he'd not been robbed from her she still believes that was the one marriage that would have lasted forever. She was married to singer Eddie Fisher from 1959 to 1964 and that was followed by two tumultuous marriages to Welsh actor Richard Burton from March 1964 until August 1976. Then followed Senator John Warner from 1976 to 1982 and the most recent and last marriage to Larry Fortensky (seen right) lasted from October 1991 to October 1996. All ended in divorce and Elizabeth told me once there would never be another. She has worked tirelessly raising over $50-million for her AIDS research foundations in recent years and simultaneously promoted her line of fragrances, cosmetics and jewelry. Her last TV appearance was in 'These Old Broads' back in 2001. However she did join Larry King in May last year to prove she wasn't close to death or suffering from Alzheimer's.

I hope to chat, however briefly, with Elizabeth tomorrow in between juggling two appointments, which were set long ago. If so, we'll have that here in LUXE LIFE early Wednesday morning, but meantime many sincere congratulations, Elizabeth and thanks for coming unexpectedly to Vegas to celebrate the marvelous milestone of 75 glorious years! It's a great diamond jubilee!

PARIS HILTON'S WEEKLONG PARTY
It began last weekend at the Hard Rock Hotel here and then wrapped over this past weekend back home in Los Angeles and a contingent of Vegas friends flew there to join the festivities. First Paris Hilton had a girls-night out with Paula Abdul, Nicole Richie and Courtney Love at Prime Grill while other guests gathered at her home. They included comedy heavyweight Jeff Beacher, colorist to the stars Michael Boychuck and new Hard Rock head honcho, Matt Armstrong. By all accounts it was a pretty sedate affair with parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton keeping a careful eye on all the fun.

SIEGFRIED & ROY AWARD

Legendary illusionists and Magicians of the Century Siegfried & Roy were honored along with the UMC Trauma Center where Roy was treated after the tiger injuries at the Heart of Gold Ball fundraiser of the American Heart Association. Criss Angel not only presented the awards to them but also won the winning $10,000 live auction bid to have a private at-home lunch with them! Singer Clint Holmes, who was also on the red carpet, told me that his new show has had a name change from Breathe to 'Just Another Man' which spells out J.A.M. as in jam session and as in a tight spot! Vegas friends get to see it from May 22 thru June 3 at UNLV before Clint heads off to debut it at its London West End premiere!

12 PLAYMATES
Tonight, on the very day that Hollywood spies are reporting that 80-year-old Hugh Hefner is planning marriage to his #1 pet bunny Holly this fall, my diary states that it's the Big Playmate Sleepover at the Palms with all 12 gorgeous knockout 2006 Playmates dressed in their super-sexy sleepwear. It's set to run till 5AM tomorrow and the party is not only in all the Fantasy Suites but also throughout the Nove restaurant and Moon and Playboy Clubs! Hugh Hefner's Girls Next Door, Holly, Kendra and Bridget were set to co-host the pajama party while the 12-pack of Playmates hope to win additional votes for the Playmate of the Year pick! In other Playboy news, expect some of the Vegas hutch to make the move to Macau when the second Playboy club opens there in 2009, plus Playboy fotogs will be out and about tonight capturing all the Vegas cocktail servers and dealers for an upcoming magazine layout!

STRIP SCRIBBLES

Now Miami Beach knows the power of PURE, the over-the-top nightclub here at Caesars Palace. Our Vegas PURE executives gave South Beach weekend preview of their nightclub, which will open there next Spring at the $1-billion renovated Fontainbleau Hotel. 'Nip/Tuck' starlet Kelly Carlson, PURE regulars Dave Navarro and Eric Balfour (all seen above) were among the 2,000 guests.


Meantime, back here in Sin City, PURE had a long weekend of celebrity events. It began with a 21st birthday party for 'Laguna Beach' star Stephen Colletti (seen above) who earlier had been sitting alongside yours truly and Frankie Munoz at the club's sister Social House in Treasure Island.


Then, after their dinner in Social House, PURE hosted Jared Leto and his band, 30 Seconds to Mars (seen above) to a rock star evening, which even attracted Harrison Ford on his first visit to PURE, enjoying himself until almost 2AM! The star had earlier attended the PRIDE fighting championships (as seen below) and several of the martial arts practitioners followed him including Frank Trigg, Nick Diaz, Antonio Nogueira and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, Marc Coleman and Alistar Overeem.


In the adjoining Pussycat Dolls Lounge, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger arrived with a large group of friends to watch the "Dolls" dance moves. Kansas City NFL star running back Larry Johnson also hit PURE while Lamborghini model Karena Dawn hosted at Coyote Ugly.

The other headline names at Social House the past few days included Jessica and Ashley Simpson's dad, Joe for his birthday dinner, the world's fastest man and Olympic gold medal sprinter Maurice Green and actress Mena Suvari who took her boyfriend down to dance in the Tangerine Nightclub afterwards. ... Congratulations to everybody at Hooters with their first anniversary celebration this past weekend. ... Congratulations to magician Steve Wyrick on the opening of his new $35-million Triq ultra lounge and nightclub complex at Planet Hollywood's Desert Passage. ... And congratulations to our Convention Visitors Authority president Rossi Ralenkotter for being named "Man of the Year" at last night's local Arthritis Foundation Oscar Night dinner.

TONIGHT'S TIP
The Tennis Channel Open has the main-draw single elimination matches today at Darling Stadium as part of the 8-day tournament week. It may well be the meal of the month when the AquaKnox seafood restaurant at The Venetian teams with famous French vintner Chateau Haut-Brion for a 'perfect pairing' tonight. The seven-course masterpiece from Chef Tom Molony features six of the most famous Haut-Brion vintages plus a champagne and a dessert wine!

TOMORROW'S TEASE
A chilling and hair-raising exclusive interview with 'Mindfreak' magician Criss Angel as he relates in scary detail his near-death underwater Houdini challenge. "I wouldn't have even made it another ten seconds. I'd have drowned; simple as that. I was a split second from certain death," he tells LUXE LIFE. We have the full frightening details of how Bounty Hunter Dog Chapman tied Criss up with 100 feet of rope to a chair and then threw him in the deep end of the Luxor pool. His near four-minute-long bid to escape almost wound up in tragedy! Plus, Vegas belts out 'Girls Girls Girls 'as we play host to Carmen Electra, Jenny McCartney and a Playboy Bunny who turns all the guys heads!
