RUDOLPH: BRITNEY ‘NOT COMING’ TO MALOOF’S BIG OPENING

With rumors flying that Britney Spears was heading for Las Vegas this weekend, her manager Larry Rudolph said that's not happening.

"She's not here and she's not coming in. I wouldn't lie to you," Rudolph told Vegas Confidential late Thursday at Simon at Palms Place.

Rudolph was having dinner with Palms owner George Maloof when Vegas Confidential stopped at the table.

Maloof, who has been spotted dining with Spears twice this month in Los Angeles, has Jessica Simpson coming in for the grand opening of Palms Place Hotel & Spa this weekend.

Simpson owns one of the suites in the Maloof's latest expansion, a $600 million condominium hotel and spa that features Kerry Simon's poolside restaurant on the sixth floor and Sunset Tan, co-owned by Rudolph.
