A Sin City Christmas!

Christmas in Las Vegas brings out the large trees and the beautiful decorations. It also means Christmas shopping at some of the best places possible. Take a walk around the Bellagio Hotel at Christmas and see their tremendous Christmas trees and Christmas decorations.

If you are considering heading to Las Vegas around the Holidays you should be able to find some tremendous deals at most Las Vegas hotels. However, understand that slow in Las Vegas still means at lot of people so the fun factor is still high at a fraction of the cost.

There is so much to do in Las Vegas sometimes it's just too hard to decide how to spend your time. It is best to plan ahead and get a good idea of how to spend your Christmas in Las Vegas. Do you want some Christmas lights? Well see Las Vegas during the holiday season at night!

Shared plates & seafood on a fake lake

Things don’t get much better than a sweet water view, except perhaps for a sweet Mariah Carey Christmas song, which Merry Christmas II You was released today, but damn, can he high-step on that thing. Giving you a similarly baller look at the Wynn’s impressive waters, Lakeside Grill.

Decked with a 17th century mosaic-tiled floor, Carrara marble, neo-classical sculptures, and modern touches like orange banquettes, Lakeside overlooks the Wynn’s ginormous Lake of Dreams, which combines a crazy hologram/4,000-light show, a mountain waterfall, “cyclorama” backdrop on which images’re projected, and music ranging from “Low Rider” to "What a Wonderful World", which is the first time anyone other than Kim Kardashian has ever sung that in Vegas. The menu's concocted by the exec chef of SW Steakhouse (the Wynn's signature eatery), and starts out with shared plates like garlic bread meatballs, strip steak sandwiches w/ caramelized onions & truffled Robiola cheese, and a broad selection of shellfish, from jumbo stone crab claws to roasted head-on prawns, which is just how Gilbert Gottfried does it...dude comes right at you!

To keep you goin’, they’ve got a full roster of crazy import brews, scotches (including the $950/glass Hardy Perfection) and specialty cocktails like the gin/Canton/fresh lime/lemongrass/Fever Tree Ginger Ale “Rang Rickey”. Check out the Lakeside Grill right in the middle of the desert!

Chase the FukuBurger Truck

Sit-down food is so 2009. On the heels of the mega-popular Slidin’ Thru slider truck comes Fukuburger, the brainchild of co-owners Colin Fukunaga and Robert “Mags” Magsalin. Initially, the men will serve their full-size burgers from a truck during the wee hours in Chinatown, to feed Fukunaga’s friends in the service industry. (You’ll have to follow them on Twitter to figure out when.) And lest you think a feud is a-grillin’ between the two trucks, think again. “We did a soft opening last Tuesday, and I Twittered it out, and Rick [Guerrero] from Slidin’ Thru started following us,” Fukunaga says. “He re-tweeted it to all his customers, like 1,800 of them, and he ended up being our first customer.” See? Good burgers do bring people together. Fukuburger.com, or on Twitter @fukuburger.

Larry Flynt takes over the Strip

Larry Flynt has done plenty for a lot of people, from expanding the bounds of free
speech, to somehow making Woody Harrelson look dashing by comparison. And now he’s giving you one of Vegas’s biggest stripper bonanzas: the Hustler Club.

Literally seconds from the strip, 50-foot-torch-fronted Hustler’s a 70,000sqft boob-hemoth: three stories, five bars, 20 VIP suites, a fully stocked Hustler apparel shop, an expansive roofdeck, and a locker room big enough for 1,000 ladies hellbent on getting their college education. Glorious lap-dance-including general admission gets you onto the silver-heavy first floor, with a giant pole-dotted silver-glittered stage at the center that’s also rigged for Cirque du Soleil-style stripper acrobatics, silver alligator print seating, pink alligator ottomans, and silver-topped bars with a slew of flatscreens, because really you came here to watch Arena Football highlights on ESPN News. The pricier Gold Level nets you a completely glass stage and helpful service from waitresses in gold mini-skirts/boots/pasties, plus one-of-a-kind VIP rooms, including an Arabian den, one with zebra couches and purple-striped walls, and a girly pink bedroom, in which you run the risk of your stripper totally ignoring you to cut out magazine pictures of Jared Leto.

That third level’s actually a massive roof deck which can be rented out (their ideas: bachelor parties, corporate events, and...weddings?) boasting 360-degree Strip (and stripper!) views and inflatable hot tubs, making you realize another thing Larry Flynt’s done for you: furnished you with a pair of hot tub flotation devices for the cost of a lap dance.

Mariah Carey says Merry Christmas 2 You!

Mariah Carey may or may not be pregnant, but one thing's for sure, she will be delivering a bundle of joy this holiday season. The sequel to the pop songbird's Christmas album has been given an official title and due date.

Rap-Up.com has exclusively learned that Mimi's upcoming holiday project will be called Merry Christmas II You. The II represents the follow-up to 1994's multi-platinum Merry Christmas album, which spawned the now-classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You." The new offering is scheduled for a November 2 release and will include original material as well as covers of holiday classics.

An accompanying DVD will also be released the same day, but there are currently no details on what exactly it will contain. The packaging was shot in the spring by famed photographer David LaChapelle and features a festive setting with fake snow, tinsel, and wooden reindeers.

Mariah's manager Chris Lighty tweeted that she is working with the Home Shopping Network (HSN) to promote the project, which is guaranteed to be the perfect stocking stuffer.

Freeze in the heat at Minus 5!

Do some chillin out max at Vegas celeb hot spot Minus 5, 100% constructed from Canadian ice and sitting at a balmy 27 below zero; you’ll suit up in boots, gloves, and parkas to better relax/avoid pesky frostbite on ice-furniture and drink from ice-glasses filled with cocktails like the Icy Margarita (Sauza Silver, Patron Citronge, lime juice, sweet & sour), the Avalanche (Sobieski Citrus, Triple Sec, Rockstar), and the Sobieski/Raspberry Di Amore/coconut & pineapple juice "Iceman", enough of which will make you have to Go-eth.

It's a great escape from the desert heat!

Cosmetic Surgery in Hollywood

Frankly, I’m tired of hearing about everything from Ashlee Simpson's nose job to Nicki Minaj's butt implants. Everyone seems to have an opinion on the business of surgical enhancement and the end goals of those who choose to undergo a procedure. Lets face it, we are all obsessed with feeling great and sometimes you have to take certain steps. Hollywood is no different than rest. Listen up, folks: Contrary to popular opinion, it’s not about vanity, it’s not about perfection. For most of us, it’s about feeling good. Yes, I said “feeling good.” (As opposed to merely “looking good.”)

You can go back and forth on "if you look good should you feel good".. but here are the facts:
Fact: Just because you might look good doesn’t mean you feel good.
Fact: To this post-modern girl, looking “good” is an individual measure (yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder) and multiple factors (not just looks) determine so-called attractiveness.
Fact: This is one of the biggest fallacies of cosmetic surgery: Real people don’t want to look plastic. The goal is to have subtle, natural-looking changes.
Fact: A very small group of people in the media spotlight generate most of the misperceptions of cosmetic surgery. So forget celebrity (or at least categorize it as “for entertainment only”) and think instead of real people who have acne scars corrected, sun damaged skin improved, or massive breasts reduced/deflated breasts filled in (amongst many other options in your local cosmetic surgeon’s office).

Bottom line? It’s definitely a personal pursuit — one that no outside person has the right to judge another for. And when you do it for you, and with a qualified and talented doctor, chances are you’ll feel good and look even better...whether it is for your appearance on the red carpet or the supermarket checkout line.

Gorgeous at The 2010 Espy Awards

Last night's ESPY Awards were attended by some of the biggest stars in the sports world. But it wasn't just buff athletes at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

Getting Ready For MTV Movie Awards with Snooki

Snooki may be an East Coast girl by nature, partying it up with her crew summer after summer in Seaside Heights. But the “Jersey Shore” star this weekend, at least, is the toast of The City of Angels.

She’s in town this weekend to act as Sway’s red carpet pal and MTV News’ very own guest correspondent at the MTV Movie Awards where on Sunday she will talk to all the hottest stars as they arrive in style.

But, before she does that, Snooki hung with MTV News as she went dress shopping (she tried on a multitude of dresses, and you can see them by pressing play above or clicking on the photo below!). And, being the festive party girl that she is, America’s favorite guidette said “Hello” to L.A. with a glass of bubbly, where she not only toasted the city and the Movie Awards, but also herself.

The Apple Ipad Moves Over 1 Million Units

So Apple continues its technological domination with yet another milestone (in addition to billions of apps downloaded, tens billions of iTunes songs sold, tens of millions of iPhones sold, etc.): 1 million iPads sold just 28 days after its release. To put this into perspective, it took the original iPhone 74 days to achieve this milestone. Granted, this was back in 2007 and Apple hadn’t quite mastered and perfected the brilliant marketing machine that is Apple today, but that's still crazy success!

"It's a new member of the family," said Pat Fallis, a Burbank producer who, along with his wife and a friend, camped out for over 10 hours to get his Ipad.

When Fallis was finally allowed into the store, blue-shirted Apple employees greeted him and other customers as though they were young kids let loose in a candy store!

What do you think of the Ipad? Do you have one... do you plan to get one?

Candy Bling: Nick Cannon's Anniversary Gift to Mariah Carey

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey have a shared love of candy ring pops – so why not combine that love with some festive bling for an anniversary gift?

Cannon did just that when he gave Mimi a custom-made "Ring Pop" as a surprise gift during their small, private party for their second anniversary in Los Angeles Friday. This 'Candy Bling' was handcrafted at Jason of Beverly Hills Jewelers full of white diamonds and pink sapphires!

"It also comes in a box complete with a spinner so that you can see it sparkle under the lights inside," says Jason Arasheben, the CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills.

The ring pop has a big role in their relationship: Three years ago when Cannon, 29, proposed to Carey, 41, at the top of the Empire State Building it was with a diamond ring disguised in a ring pop candy wrapper.

On Carey's last album, Memories of an Imperfect Angel, she penned a track called "Candy Bling" on which she conveys the nostaligia involved with the ring pops.

Amber a Rose or Thorn in West Hollywood?

Model Amber Rose (once again… Kanye-less) looked like she was seeking a little too much camera attention with her pink unitard get-up Sunday night (Apr 25) as she was spotted leaving Guys and Dolls nightclub after a night of partying with Diddy, Nicki Minaj, T.I. and Tiny, who were all spotted leaving the popular West Hollywood nightclub as well.

What do you think of Amber's look? Is it a Rose or a Thorn?

Life & Style of an Heiress

Paris Hilton gave Esquire a glimpse into her Los Angeles home for their May issue.

Paris' revealing home tour taught us a lot about the pink-loving heiress. For example, did you know that she has a pillow with her face on it? And that her nightstand contains a pink lava lamp, ash tray, and a hand-held massager but no alarm clock. Ah, the life of an heiress!

Kathy Griffin Does Pinup or Does She?

Hmm...who is this stunning red-head looking to get spanked? It's none other than the halarious Kathy Griffin, doing her best Bettie Page impression.

What do you think of Kathy's Pinup Girl photo shoot?
