Celebrities fill their bellies, swarm nightclubs

Last weekend was another banner, three-day weekend for the celebrity caste system, indulging in a flurry of consumptions fit for a Bret Easton Ellis fetish novel.

Vince Neil, celebrity accused, dined Monday with wife Lia Gerardini at Sugar Factory American Brasserie, swallowing turkey sliders and milkshakes concocted of wild berry and fluffernutter (peanut butter and marshmallow blend).

Chris "Angry Bird" Brown performed at Hard Rock's pool party Rehab on Sunday, and this was after Brown, 22, was given a four-tier birthday cake Friday at club Pure.

A person named Computer who is in the group Three 6 Mafia, which had a hit song in a movie years ago, charmed a Playmate at club Vanity on Saturday, as they were in the company of a DJ bearing the adorable moniker of Roxy Cottontail, who should look into hoppin' down the bunny trail.

The DJ with the name apl.de.ap from the Black Eyed Peas spun music at Liquid pool at Aria, where Kevin Federline, who was once married to Britney Spears, who was once a pop star, lounged with his current girlfriend whose name you don't know (Victoria Prince) and who was pregnant with his fifth kid on Mother's Day. DJ Tiesto spun music there, even though Tiesto has been locked in a we-thought-exclusive DJ contract at Hard Rock, but apparently not?

Kelly Osbourne, who used to perform as Ozzy Osbourne's daughter on "The Osbournes," took Sunday dinner with David Arquette, who is a very nice celebrity and I'm not being snarky, and with other friends at Yellowtail restaurant inside Bellagio. They ate tuna pizza.

An hour later, apl.de.ap ate at a different Yellowtail table with friends, splitting a bottle of Murai "Champion" sake.

Then Kelly Osbourne, Arquette and apl.de.ap walked a short walk to club Bank for an ironic party named "Hottest Baby Momma." Federline's girlfriend was not in the contest. You can't win if you don't play.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. showed up at Bank with 30 friends. That's a lot.

Ke$ha, who continues to not take the dollar sign out of her name and who wouldn't take off her sunglasses, went to Sugar Factory American Brasserie to film part of a documentary while putting sliders, spinach-artichoke dip, barbecue chicken pizza, chicken skewers, chocolate fondue and cupcakes in her mouth, but not at the same time. James Van Der Beek was with her, he used to be in "Dawson's Creek" and he was very convincing in "Rules of Attraction," and he was said to be sweet as he posed for photos with his wife whose name you don't know (Kimberly), their daughter and his parents. They ate ahi sliders, mac-and-cheese pops (sounds nasty), roasted chicken, Pacific salmon and alcoholic beverages earnestly named "Going Bananas" and "Berry Bliss."

Nearby at a table there was Levi Johnston, who used to perform as the boyfriend of Bristol Palin on "The Republican National Convention" show, and he inserted Caesar salad, bruschetta, New York strip steak, strawberry milkshake and red velvet sundae into his mouth, hopefully all at the same time, who knows.

Saturday, Ke$ha performed at the Palms, then partied at 1 a.m. at club Chateau, where she drank Jack Daniel's, Grey Goose vodka and Patron shots and danced presumably out of her mind, and she sang a few songs while a Gatsby amount of glitter sprayed onto people in the club. Van Der Beek was there, and so was Johnston, and so was Floyd Mayweather Sr., the dad, and Floyd Mayweather Jr., the son.

Osbourne partied Saturday night at club Marquee with Louie Vito, who rides a snowboard and was on "Dancing with the Stars," and they apparently were not in attendance with fellow attendees Bridget Marquardt, the Playmate, and Angel Porrino, who performs topless in "Absinthe," the show of the season.

Federline also spent time at Marquee.

Tattoo magnate Carey Hart lounged with pregnant pop star magnet Pink in a Hard Rock suite, and they ate at Rare 120 steakhouse and at Mr. Lucky's 24/7.

Hip-hop producer Jermaine Dupri DJ'd at Gallery nightclub at Paris, drinking with friends: Grey Goose and Ciroc vodka with Red Bull and juice, not all in the same glass. He had already consumed a sensible salad with Thousand Island dressing while drinking a Lollipop Passion cocktail at Sugar Factory.

Jamie Foxx partied Saturday at Tao with a gaggle of friends, talked on the microphone, danced and drank champagne.

Kim Kardashian went to Lavo on Friday to flack her perfume and eat beet salad and Kobe meatball with friends.

Meanwhile, Tom Felton, the bad kid Draco in "Harry Potter," took a friend to see "Love" and they ate popcorn and sipped cola.
