It may not be Labor Day Weekend, but when it comes to celebs this one is still going to be a big one.

Stacy Keibler kicked things off last night at Jet with a party celebrating the start of the Fantasy Football SuperDraft Weekend.

Shannon Elizabeth will keep the fantasy alive tonight when she hosts at LAX and Molly Sims will add to it on Saturday with a night at Pure.

Flo Rida.

Flo Rida and Gary “Baba-Booey” Dell’Abate of The Howard Stern Show will also be there tomorrow night.

Before we get to Saturday, however, let’s take a closer look at what’s on for tonight, starting with a 90210 throwback reality-check.

Jason Priestley, who played Brandon Walsh on the hit ‘90s series, Beverly Hills 90210 has not only grown up; he’s grown over the hill – and he will be at MGM Grand tonight to mark his 40th birthday at Tabú Ultra Lounge.

Another, far younger 90210 star, Annalynne McCord will be in town this weekend. The so-called 90210 new class actress will host Wet Republic’s Daylife Sundays pool party.

Tonight’s line-up continues with an ensemble of so-called “improv all-stars” at the Mirage. Part Drew Carey Show, part Whose Line is it, Anyway? the line-up includes Drew Carey, Kathy Kinney, Ryan Stiles, Chip Esten, Jeff Davis, Sean Masterson, Julie Larson and Laura Hall.

While Carey needs no memory-jogging or explanation, Kinney played “Mimi” on The Drew Carey Show. Stiles had roles on both of Carey’s previous projects; Esten, Davis, and Hall appeared on Whose Line; and Masterson and Larson had a guest spots on The Drew Carey Show.

The rag-tag crew of comedians will perform two 10 p.m. shows this weekend, on Friday and Saturday nights, in the Terry Fator Theater after the regular Mirage headliner and former America’s Got Talent champion wraps things up.

Also tonight, retired New York Knicks player and current children’s charity champion Jerome “JYD” Williams will host a fundraiser kick-off party at the Hard Rock Hotel in support of local Boy Scouts of America, After School All-Stars, The Center at UNLV, and the Make-A-Wish-Foundation.

Other events planned include a car show tomorrow at South Point Casino and star-studded rally car drives around town throughout the morning and afternoon.

In addition to JYD himself, other guests expected at tonight’s pole position party include Golden State Warrior point guard CJ Watson, Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Dave Riske, former Toronto Raptor and Chicago Bull, Chris Jeffereies and retired New Jersey Net and Dallas Maverick, Ed O’Bannon.

Also at the Hard Rock tonight, New York-based metal vets Dream Theater will hit The Joint while P-Funk legend, George Clinton, will bring his soul-flavored psychedelic rock the hotel’s poolside Friday Night Live concert series.

Meanwhile, Mickey Avalon will return to Privé once again for a yet another night of “hip-hop and debauchery.”

Privé’s other go-to guests, Dirt Nasty, Andre Legacy and Andy Milonakis will be at the beleaguered Planet Hollywood nightspot tomorrow night. (The club’s fifth and final unofficial resident guest, Jermaine Dupri, has the weekend off, apparently.)

Friday Night Lights star Scott Porter will also be at Privé tomorrow night, and will throw himself a little birthday party while he’s at it.

Another star celebrating a birthday tomorrow is fallen music icon Michael Jackson. Though the King of Pop died last month, a range of performers and personalities will congregate at the Pearl to mark what would have been his 51st birthday.

Holly Madison.

Local acts including Human Nature, members of Jersey Boys, Holly Madison and the cast of Peepshow, Phantom performers, and the Sirens of TI are all expected to participate.

Before that, however, Jon & Kate Plus 8 patriarch Jon Gosselin will serve as the summer’s most curious and controversial pool party host at Wet Republic.

As the scandalous reality show father figure heats things up at MGM Grand, Kanye West’s girlfriend, gutsy and gorgeous Ford model Amber Rose, will heat things up in a very different (and far sexier) way at Tao Beach.

Later that night, country crooner Toby Keith will play Red Rock Casino – which means he may very well stop by his namesake bar and grill at some point this weekend. (He tends to pop by his bar and grill and Harrah’s whenever he’s in town.)
