Haute Event: Angel Porrino Hosts All Hallows’ Eve at Tryst Nightclub

Angel Porrino at Tryst Nightclub.

Last night, Tryst Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas hosted a heaven meets hell themed party that invited angelic beauties and sinful devils to celebrate All Hallows’ Eve alongside blonde bombshell Angel Porrino. The sophisticated nightclub transformed into an alternate reality where cocktail servers played off their inner deviant and donned themselves in sultry red and black devil costumes or accepted their innocence and dressed in saintly ensembles as they were sent down from above.

The star from Las Vegas’ hit show “Absinthe” and reality series “Holly’s World” walked the carpet in a fallen angel costume with a sexy corseted top and black tutu, completing the look with sinfully sky-high stiletto boots and feathered wings.

The lady of the hour was escorted into the club and seated at a private table overlooking the sea of costumed club-goers. After sipping on a few cocktails, the beauty wasted no time before hitting the dance floor. Resident DJ Pizzo kept the club moving from the turn tables situated in front of the venue’s 90-foot cascading waterfall.

Porrino continued her hosting duties until the early hours of the morning, ensuring every party-goer had a lasting memory of the explosive finale to Tryst’s Halloween weekend festivities.

Sam Trammell from “True Blood” kicked off Halloween weekend on Saturday by hosting the party at Vanity Nightclub at Hard Rock Hotel. Trammell hung out in the club’s VIP section and rocked out to high-energy music by DJ Apollo with a group of friends. The actor gave a big “True Blood” shout out to the show’s loyal fans before posing for pictures with several sexy vixens dressed as vampires and signing autographs. Trammell and his friends dined before the party at the hotel’s newly opened 35 Steaks + Martinis restaurant where 35 Steaks + Martinis sunk his teeth into the signature Kansas City steak.

Later that night, one of the VIP booths was taken over by the ladies of Oxygen’s “The Bad Girls Club.” A few of the girls danced for “True Blood” fans while others snapped shots on their camera phones and tweeted to their followers. The ladies took some final shots with DJ Apollo before putting down their phones and dancing late into the night.

Haute Event: Holly Madison Hosts Hollyween at Studio 54

Josh Strickland and Holly Madison at Studio 54.

Las Vegas’ sexiest ghouls and goblins came out to Studio 54 at the MGM Grand last night as Holly Madison hosted her third annual Hollyween, complete with a sexiest costume competition and special performance by “Peepshow” and E!’s ”Holly’s World” cast mate Josh Strickland.

Before arriving to the Vegas hot spot, Madison tweeted, “Can’t wait to see all the creative costumes in the sexiest costume contest at Studio 54 tonight! Costume contests are so entertaining!”

Spooky and sexy revelers swarmed the red carpet hoping to catch a glimpse of what the starlet donned for a costume for the evening. The crowd cheered as Madison arrived on the red carpet as Rapunzel, complete with the fairy tale icon’s long blonde braid. Madison looked stunning in a short, purple, shoulder-bearing dress and nude pumps as she carried a little stuffed Pascal, the chameleon from Disney’s “Tangled.” Strickland joined the blonde beauty on the carpet as a sexy vampire in black leather pants and long cape. The pair posed playfully on the carpet for photographers as Strickland pretended to bite Madison’s neck in true vampire fashion.

The duo made their way inside to their VIP table overlooking the iconic nightspot, which was transformed into a gothic mausoleum with gigantic chandeliers and DJ Loczi’s deejay booth enveloped in a large coffin surrounded by LED screens and raised high above the dance floor. Loczi pumped up the crowd saying, “Holly Madison is in the building everybody,” as the bombshell hung her long Rapunzel hair over the balcony and waved to fans below. Madison and Strickland danced to classics, like “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” and Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” and took turns playfully kissing Madison’s stuffed Pascal.

Before the costume contest, Strickland took the stage and performed his hit single, “Report to the Floor.” Fans cheered as the vamp moved to the beat with his four sexy backup dancers. At the end of his performance, Strickland welcomed Madison to the stage. The crowd went wild and ecstatically snapped pictures as the host descended to the stage from an aerial swing!

Contestants nervously lined up backstage for a chance to win $10,000 in the sexiest costume contest. Madison introduced each contestant and the audience screamed for their favorite barely there costumes, crowning a superhero duo as the winner. Jay and Anh Campbell as sexy Captain America and Wonder Woman took home the coveted cash prize and never broke character as they posed for photos. After wishing the costumed crowd an appropriate “Happy Hollyween,” Rapunzel returned upstairs to soak up the nightclub’s atmosphere with Strickland for the rest of the night.

Across the casino floor at Tabú Ultra Lounge, TapouT fighter Donald “The Cowboy” Cerrone celebrated his UFC 137 win over Dennis Siver. Hardly recognizable without his usual cowboy hat, the MMA fighter was festive and fun, dressed as a pirate.

Cerrone was good spirits as he smiled on the red carpet and waved to fans. Inside the venue he was joined by a small entourage in a private VIP area overlooking the energized dance floor. He partied with his friends to the beats of  DJ Kidd Jay, reveling in his victory into the early morning hours.

Throughout his live set, party-goers were on their feet singing along to the rapper’s iconic lyrics. The crowd displayed their appreciation for him as they loudly cheered and asked for an encore after he was finished.

Following the crowd-pleasing performance, Coco got on the mic to announce the top three finalists of the “Sexiest Seductress” costume contest. After multiple rounds of judging, Coco picked the tempting “Pocahontas” as first place winner.  She then rejoined her husband and their friends at the plush VIP tables as they spent the rest of the evening taking in the atmosphere of the Vegas club scene while dancing and sipping on cocktails.

Haute Event: Heidi Klum Brings Her Legendary Halloween Bash to Tao

?uestlove and Heidi Klum attend Klum's 12th Annual Halloween Party at Tao Nightclub.

On Saturday night, Heidi Klum brought her legendary Halloween party, in its 12th year, to Las Vegas and Tao Nightclub at the Venetian for the first time. Upon landing she asked her driver to take her to see the billboard for the party and she posed in front of it and tweeted the photo.

The Queen of Halloween fueled up for the night with Tao favorites delivered direct to her room as she prepared to get in costume with make up by Bill Corso. Klum raved about the meal, which included crispy rice, sea bass satay and spicy Yellowtail jalapeno.

Klum donned her “Visible Woman” costume, a body suit painted with the muscles, veins and tendons that make up the human body, and arrived on the red carpet on a gurney carried by bloody medics.  Fans lined the escalators leading up to TAO to catch a glimpse of the supermodel and star of Project Runway.

In the club Klum took over VIP tables on the dance floor with a group that included Bethenny Frankel and her husband Jason Hoppy.

Klum, who is the 2011 Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Ambassador, was surprised with tricks and treats throughout the night as DJ ?uestlove spun for the packed club. She was presented with an intricately carved pumpkin by famed carver Ray Villafane and a bloody version of Tao’s bottle fairy flew over the dance floor hanging by a noose.

Klum danced the night away, staying until nearly 4 a.m.

Howie Mandel and Gilles Marini were spotted celebrating Halloween at Tao, as was Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, who also dined earlier at the Asian bistro.

Rolls-Royce 102EX: Avant-Garde Aspirations

Some may think that an all-electric fantasy car from Rolls-Royce would be pretty gaudy. Others might categorize it as a brilliant plot for producing strategic advantages in the ultra-luxury vehicle segment. The 102EX, aka Phantom Experimental Electric (EE), was conjured to specifically address the demands and opinions of owners, business executives, and media regarding the company’s position on alternative energy in their vehicles and business model in totality.

Think of the 102EX as either a science or market research project. For 107 years, Rolls-Royce has assiduously experimented with new technologies and finely graded, bespoke luxury amenities. Today’s 6.75-liter V12 gasoline engine and 6-speed transmission duo could indubitably be tomorrow’s sustainability package featuring a lithium-ion battery pack with two 145kW electric motors. A massive Nickel Cobalt Manganese battery stores roughly 230Wh/kg of charge. When all systems unite seamlessly the 102EX will propel itself from a standstill to 60 mph in less than eight seconds. It’s quite an anomaly since Rolls-Royce states the electric propulsion system is quite similar to the V12 in terms of performance, ride and handling. An Atlantic Chrome exterior hue consisting of sixteen coats of paint and the beloved Spirit of Ecstasy accentuated in blue LED light, and finished in Makrolon as opposed to stainless steel, will differentiate the 102EX from standard Phantoms. Yet, are any Rolls-Royces ever standard?

And no, the Green Anthem is not a Marvel comic book character, but rather a conscious trend toward sustainable mobility.

Automotive Rhythms (AR) is the multi-national lifestyle firm that blends evaluations of the latest cars, trucks, SUVs, and bikes around music, fashion, travel and technology. Consisting of Internet, print, radio, network TV, online video and event properties, AR is a multi-media and marketing gateway for receiving real time data and information on new rides, car shows, vehicle technology, green energy projects, customization, motorsports, celebrity profiles and auto lifestyle experiences. www.automotiverhythms.com

Haute Event: Gretchen Rossi Performs Live at the Pussycat Dolls Burlesque Saloon

Gretchen Rossi poses in the famous Pussycat Dolls Burlesque Saloon rhinestone-studded bathtub.

It was a boo-tifully burlesque Halloween as “The Real Housewives of Orange County” star Gretchen Rossi celebrated the year’s sexiest holiday by performing live at Pussycat Dolls Burlesque Saloon inside Gallery Nightclub at Planet Hollywood Resort last night.

Rossi kicked off the show by hopping on the sprawling front bar, lit up by giant, florescent D-O-L-L-S lights, and yelled out to the crowd, “Vegas, I’ve always wanted the chance to show off my sexy inner Pussycat Doll. And I know there’s a little ‘housewife’ in all the women here! Let’s party!”

The California sweetheart, who was also celebrating her birthday, showed off her triple threat skills — dancing, singing and winning over the club — as she performed live with the world famous Pussycat Dolls, dressed in a leather bustier and thigh high stockings, then changing into a sexy cop outfit, done up in sequins and glitter.

Rossi sang live to “Fever” and “Don’t Cha,” blowing kisses to fans and playfully winking to the crowd. Rossi’s longtime love, Slade Smiley, was there cheering on his bombshell babe, along with Rossi’s family, friends and fellow “Housewives” Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Barney, Alexis Bellino, and of course, the creator and choreographer of the Pussycat Dolls, Robin Antin.

After her provocative performance, her family and friends crowded around the glowing and breathless starlet, and congratulated her on her stellar performance. Rossi thanked everyone for their support and kept repeating how much fun she had.

Smiley kissed his brand-new Doll on the cheek and the two shared a sweet moment before getting pulled away by the rest of their friends to celebrate with a round of drinks to toast the birthday girl and her once-in-lifetime experience.
