Happy Hollywood VIPs party hearty on the Strip

By Robin Leach

Danity Kane singer Aundrea, who was discovered by P. Diddy on his reality TV show Making of the Band 3, hosted a party at Jet nightclub in the Mirage. She had an entourage of 12 pals and took over the VIP section dancing until 3 a.m. in between the Patron silver tequila and the Level 1 Vodka.

"The Boss." He toasted the party-people, gave a shout-out to his entourage, friends and fans and topped his unexpected show with club favorite "Hustlin’." The recording star and his posse toasted with Perrier Jouet Rose champagne but sipped on Hennessy and cokes. Next door at the sexy Pussycat Dolls Lounge, comedy actor Dax Shepherd relaxed with friends for a VIP view of the burlesque act -- and discovered adult XXX-rated movie star Tera Patrick at the adjoining booth. Dax and pals toasted the Vegas Pussycats with Belvedere Vodka and cranberry juice.

Strip Scribbles

*Former Vegas resident and now late-night Hollywood comedy king Jimmy Kimmel is back together again with comedian Sarah Silverman after their breakup earlier this year following a five-year romance! The couple have started dating again and turned up with arms wrapped around each other’s waists at the Howard Stern-Beth Ostrovsky wedding in Manhattan. The reconciliation attracted the attention of fellow guest Barbara Walters, who immediately got Sarah onto her View show.

But Sarah refused to confirm it specifically, saying: "I do not feel beholden or compelled to define my personal relationship. It’s not like a big drama thing, we're just not defining it."

*Reigning porn princess, adult film star Tera Patrick, took in a late-night performance of the topless sexy adult cabaret “Crazy Horse Paris” revue at MGM Grand with friends. It follows her visits to the Vegas Pussycat Dolls burlesque show at Caesars Palace and other provocative presentations of pulchritude around the Strip leading observers to guess she’s planning her own strip-it-all-off show soon.

*Congratulations to everybody at the very first Cirque du Soleil show to debut on the Strip. The original was Christmas Day in 1993 and Mystere at Treasure Island just racked up its 8,500,000th ticket sale for the show, now in its 16th consecutive year.

*Celebrity stylist and color king Michael Boychuck, who was twice this week on Extra and the new MTV hit reality show Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, predicts the return of the perm as this season’s hottest trend. “Loose, long, romantic curls are quickly becoming a celebrity favorite,” he told Luxe Life, and his three Las Vegas salons -- COLOR, AMP and PRIMP -- are "slammed" with the ladies looking to switch up their styles this season with new lengths and locks. He laughed: “Perm is no more a four-letter-word to be afraid of. The soft and sexy curls we offer make our clients instantly red-carpet ready."

He recommends Hairdreams real hair extensions and adds that champagne blonde will dominate this season, replacing the more platinum hues seen during the summer. The super-stylist first moved to Las Vegas nearly 10 years ago to open a branch of Laurent D’s Beverly Hills Prive at Bellagio. He then became hair director at Canyon Ranch in the Venetian for several years before opening his own three salons. Best known for his creative work with long-time clients and friends Paris and Nicky Hilton, Michael has a full impressive celebrity client roster that includes Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Eva Longoria, Mandy Moore, Kirsten Dunst, Fergie, Jennie Garth, Willa Ford, Shannon Doherty, Donna D’Errico, Josie Bissett, Kathy Hilton and Susan Anton.
