Wow, so it's been a while since we all had an awards show, right? That's just about the only explanation I can muster for the general positivity surrounding the Billboard Music Awards, which folks were pretty jazzed on last night despite the mediocre lineup, meandering pace, and schizophrenic attempt to stay positive despite a raft of tributes to recently deceased musical icons. Still, the evening wasn't without its charms, to say nothing of the moments so forehead-smacking tone-deaf that they also warrant acknowledgement. Let's take a good look at both! More»

Let's say you're Robin Thicke, noted Canadian songwriter and musician and improbable frequent Lil' Wayne collaborator. You've recently made some questionable headlines for getting arrested for smoking weed in NYC, which, if you've ever been to NYC, is really, really hard to do. You have two choices: either stop smoking weed (and eff that, am I right?), or go to a place where you'd probably have to ask the Chief of Police to block the wind while you roast a J in order to get arrested. As you can probably guess, Robin chose option B, and spent the weekend in Vegas celebrating the opening of the Lily Bar & Lounge (and playing an impromptu mini-set) inside the Bellagio alongside other notables like Alexandra Richards, Rick Fox, Eliza Dushku, Whitney Port, and more.

Vegas clubs are the worst, but they're also the best. What I mean by that is, all the things we purport to hate about L.A. clubs—the overblown production design, the Gestapo door policies, the drink prices that make you think you're being punked—are all even more ridiculous in there. At the same time, Vegas is basically a full-sized Ninja Turtles playset with alcohol, so it's far easier and a lot more fun to embrace the absurdity than to complain about it. With that in mind, here are some amazing Le Panda shots of Diplo burning down the house during his Monday night residency at XS in the Encore hotel with Flaunt Magazine and Black Banditz. More»

As you may know from our coverage of the DirecTV Celebrity Beach Bowl, I am dealing with the fallout of my football team losing to a quarterback who looks like a cartoon dog by pretending that it didn't happen. As far as I'm concerned, I spent Sunday inhaling spraypaint and eating tablespoons of nutmeg, and if anyone asks me about "The Big Game," I'm just going to assume they're talking about Lingerie Bowl IX in Las Vegas, where the Los Angeles Temptation defeated the Philadelphia Passion 28-6. Hey, we won! More»

Having penned a hit single about "Waking Up In Vegas," Katy Perry knows all about the unintended consequences of a late night in Sin City, and as sad as it may seem, she's far from the first person to blow five figures in a night out at an exclusive Vegas nightclub. But in a refreshing twist on the usual debauchery, the $50k that Katy and her BFF Markus Molinari dropped at the 1OAK grand opening on Friday night didn't go to remodel Gavin Maloof's guest cottage or pay off Floyd Mayweather's gambling debts; it went straight to GiveLove, a charity doing humanitarian housing and sanitation work in Haiti.

Correction time! The last time we hit you with breaking Jonas Brother Birthday News (and we sincerely hope we're your go-to source for all things Jonas Brother Birthday-related), we may have incorrectly reported that Joe Jonas, who turned 22 in August, was the oldest Jonas Brother. We may have breaking news to the contrary, because it seems that Kevin Jonas celebrated his 24th birthday this weekend with a VIP bash at Chateau nightclub in Las Vegas. More»
