If you think nightclub in Vegas most people might be inclined to thing the celeb hot spot Pure. Perez readers will recognize that as the club that was supposed to host Lindsay Lohan’s 21st birthday but obviously that didn’t end up happening.

It is one of the hottest places in Las Vegas, so obviously I had no business going there but damnit I was going to try.

When we landed in Vegas we ate and awesome meal and then I gathered about 6 girls up and made our way down to Caesar’s Palace. It was already announced that Paris and Nicky Hilton would be there as a part of launch for the new line of Nicky’s bags. (They work!) So we knew our chances of getting into pure were slim and expensive.

Once we got there we scoped out the scene and a scene it was. There was a huge line. It was rumoured that the cover was $100 but then a gentlemen of a silk suit nature walked up to us and said for $40 each he would get us in the club. We hesitated, obvsiously it’s Vegas you would be studpid not to wonder. But he said we wouldn’t have to pay until we were on the dancefloor. Energy 101.5′s Erin Wilde and I jumped at the chance and convinced the others.

Within 5 minutes we were a collective $250 poorer but in Pure Night Club.

While standing in line for drinks I noticed a flurry of flashes, I asked an active photographer beside me who she was taking pics of and she said: “LL Cool J!” Sure enough I looked up and saw the former star of the short lived TV show “In The House” and my favorite movie “Deep Blue Sea.” Seriously, I love it. Oh yeah and he raps to. So there he was spinning the tunes where DJ AM is usually located.

After spending a completely reasonable $18 for a vodka and red bull (!) we made our way to the dance floor. It wasn’t 5 minutes later that the DJ announced that Nicky and Paris would be joining us on the dancefloor. We look up and there is the world’s most famous party girls! Yes, I know they aren’t really important and are probably detremental to the world, but it was still pretty freaking cool! The next day I would see pictures of the party on TMZ (here)and People Magazine (here) (Thanks megan!)
After about the 10 minutes the Hilton sisters disappeared and we decided it was too hot to not be enjoying the rooftop patio. We were up there for a little bit of time enjoying the sights and sounds of Vegas when out of the corner of my eye I saw Gene Simmons, former lead singer of KISS! (obviously.)

I ran up to him and this is what happened.

“Gene, Gene, can I grab a picture?”
He pauses. “For Moby…right.? “(As if to remember my name.)
I pause.
“Um….yes…..that’s right.”
And we took the picture.
Wow! Gene thought I was Moby. hahaha.
I think it is possibly my favorite picture of all time, mostly for the story of it all. I mean really, how often does Gene Simmons mistake you for another celebrity!!!!

So that was our night at Pure. We couldn’t believe we had only been there for a couple of hours and had experienced so much.

The night day I went to the Hard Rock Hotel and say some old Kiss costumes and had to get a picture. And I SWEAR ON VERONICA MARS that as I got the guy to take the picture Moby starting playing over the speakers! No Joke! So funny!
More stories to come.

>I literally just walked into my apartment and I am heading to bed. Having only slept 2.5 hours in the last 48, I am beyond exhausted and feel immensley bad for whomever steps into my office later on this morning.

I have much to tell and even more to catch up on. But until later on today, I leave you with two photos. Enjoy them because they might be the most amazing pictures EVER.

>I’m off to VEGAS!!!!

Still can’t believe it!!!!

See you in 24 hours!

>I have already posted more this week than I have ever wanted to about High School Musical. But I just HAD to post this. It is the aforementioned video from HSM2 with Zac Efron’s absolutly hilarious dance. Remember I said that the cheoreographer obviously hates Efron and decided to try to embarass him as much as possible. Well I think it worked. Honestly try to watch it without laughing at least once. Even if you can’t listen to it because you are at work watch the video anyway. If you didn’t laugh at least once, tell me and I’ll send you something.

Here are my favorite moments, as noted by the second they appear in the clip.

:21-Efrons slaps that grass!
:34 genius move
:37 BEST MOVE EVER!
1:04 Efron likes to add skips. This is his first one.
1:33 Efron tempts danger by throwing sand.
1:48 Did a professional really cheoreograph this?
2:00 Ahh dacning while golfing. Multi-talented
2:25 This was Sarah’s favorite. As well it should be. Two Efrons!
3:02 There is NO WAY you didn’t laugh at Efron skipping around the lake adding a little jumpity jump.

Also, you must watch this over and over again. It gets better each and every time!

So early last week some amazing news was announced but I think I was too tired to process it….until tonight.

A while back it was mentioned that the star of Veronica Mars, Kristen Bell might be joining the amazing Lost. But things fell through and I cried for several days. But soon my tears dried up only long enough for them to turn to tears of joy because it was announced that Kristen Bell would be joining the cast of Heroes for at least 13 episodes!!!! Can you believe it?!!? How perfect is that!?! I’ve also read that she might be playing the villain! Which is great because if you’ve ever seen Veronica Mars you know she is some bad ass mofo when she wants to be. I love genius casting.

Until the new season starts on September 24th here is a great interview with Kristen talking about her new role on Heroes.

Oh and here is my favorite new promo for the 2nd season. (facebookers see the preview here)

>It is only a matter of weeks until the new fall TV season gets on it’s way! Can you believe it? I feel like it has just been a couple of weeks since The Petrelli brothers bit the dust, that Jim asked Pam out, Dr. Burke packed up his saxophone and Jack Bauer…well let’s let Jack keep resting until January. I think he might need it.

But the networks will starting rolling out their new and returning shows. The ones to look forward to will start around mid-september. Don’t worry I’ll keep you in the loop.

In the mean time here is a new promo that NBC released for The Office. Check out the big news at the end of it. Wohoo. Keep my Thursdays clear! (facebookers see the promos here)

Oh and while you are at it, here is a promo for Season 2 of “30 Rock” WATCH THIS SHOW!

It’s been two months since I had my apartment to myself. There have been visitors from all over the country, my sister’s family, aunts, uncles and for a while I even had a fake-roommate. In all the craziness I don’t think it even hit me that my roommate for the past year moved out last Monday. Maybe that is because her stuff is still scattered throughout the apartment for all intensive purposes she moved out last Monday into her first house with her boyfriend. (Ugh, I knew I should have never introduced them.)

Rebecca was an awesome roommate. We actually met in Grade 5 in New Brunswick and went all through public school together until we graduated high school. During University we would see each other on occasion but hardly at all. It was only because a random series of events that she ended up being my roommate here in Calgary and even though it was only for a year we have made some really great memories. Bon Jovi would be proud. (Extra points to whomever got the Bon Jovi reference.)

It was funny cause I went to her house this weekend and stumbled upon her yearbook. Seven years ago I wrote: “Thanks for always keeping me in.” We chuckled because we all know that she still does. She never let me get to dramatic. She was awesome at keeping things in perspective and was always willing to listen to me. (As long as it wasn’t during Y&R)

We’ve also gone on lots of adventures together. Whether it’s been a weekend in the mountains or across the pacific ocean to the Hawaiian Islands she was always great to travel with because she let me take as many pictures as I wanted. And while everyone else was complaining, she would simply say: “Listen, Michael takes alot of pictures, deal with it because you all know you’ll want them when we get back.”

So while she’ll still be in Calgary, I think it took this first night in my apartment alone to realize that whenever my new roommate moves in it just won’t be the same.

Oh and I know that I can write all this mushy stuff cause she has never once read this blog. Whenever I talk to her about it, I’m pretty sure she thinks I’m talking about some sort of growth on my body and she stops listening. And that is exactly I love her!
Oh….this is also what reminded me of my roommate moving out:
My fridge.
Ahh the Bachelor’s fridge.
I never realized how much living with a girl affected my eating habits. Right now my fridge is scarce. If you look closely you’ll see the following: Corona, ketchup (for all the frozen food in the freezer), take out, cold pizza, skim milk (because I like to be healthy), a big thing of pickles, and yes I do have fruit in there: there are four plums. I need to go grocery shopping, or to McDonalds.

>I’m trying to save up my energy for my 24 hour stint in Vegas this week, so I’m taking it easy by doing the dishes, doing a little CLRing and sharing these two very important bits of Idol info:

1. Do you think Katherine McPhee would have won against “whats-his-name” if she had danced like she does in her video for Love Story? I do. Beyonce who? See what I mean.

2. Quick, without hesitation who won American Idol this year? Drawing a blank aren’t you. So was I until I saw that Jordin Spark’s first single has been released. The song is called “Tatoo” and you can check it out here.

Back to the couch.
