    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.
