Presidential candidate Paris Hilton, who has tried, and failed, to attach herself to nightclubs before, is said to be eying her own venue in Las Vegas.
Paris Hilton debuted her trashtastic shoe line yesterday at a Las Vegas Macy's, presumably because the only people who would want to wear those hideous things also like to dance on poles.

HEY, LADY! I GOT A FRICKIN' GUN! "Police say they have confiscated a gun belonging to Jerry Lewis that was found in the 82-year-old entertainer's carryon bag as he prepared to fly to Detroit from Las Vegas. Las Vegas policeman Bill Cassell said Tuesday that the actor was cited Friday for carrying an unloaded concealed weapon at the Las Vegas airport. Lewis' manager, Claudia Marghilano, says the handgun is a hollowed-out prop gun that Lewis sometimes twirls during his show."
Duck, patriots!
Just a precaution, as many 'mericans were out in herds this weekend to celebrate their nation's glorious, important and hard-earned autonomy the best way they know how: with violence! Drunken, brutal violence!
TMZ has not one but two stories up today about a couple different acts of aggression revelers in the western part of the country faced this holiday weekend. In one instance, new mother Nicole Richie had to be escorted off the Hard Rock Hotel premises in Las Vegas after getting into an altercation with someone in the valet line. And in Los Angeles, two men were shot multiple times in front of a Hollywood club. USA! USA! USA!
After the jump, TMZ's unflinching and unnecessary image of the back of a shooting victim. (Don't worry, it's not bloody and the guy's alive.)

America wasn't the only one celebrating a birthday this weekend — Pam Anderson took to Las Vegas in honor of turning 41. Naturally, she acted like most classy women celebrating their 40s: She slutted around looking as trashy as possible. If anyone needs a reason to love America, just check out her birthday photo album.

Pamela Anderson was in Vegas this weekend to auction off her 2000 Dodge Viper, the proceeds of which she intends to donate to the well-intentioned doofs at PETA.
Apparently, the irony of selling a car that gets 11 miles to the gallon to help protect the animals was lost on everyone there, including an incredibly pink man.

BECAUSE SHE DESERVES IT "Candy Spelling won $180,000 at a slot machine at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. … Spelling has an estimated worth of $600 million. … This is Spelling's second large Vegas win."
The Hogans seriously need to cool it on the bad publicity, because it's not doing the family any favors. The latest drama: That loser Linda was grinding in Vegas is actually 19 years old and has been a longtime friend of Nick. Speaking of our favorite jailbird, the family is trying to stop the release of Nick's recorded pathetic phone calls from jail, claiming a violation of privacy. Except a recorded voice comes on the line during each call to remind everyone that the call is being recorded. Nice try, losers.

The Hills cast celebrated hanger-on Frankie Delgado's birthday last night in Las Vegas, and the event's pictures speak a thousand words … kinda. Here's what we've gathered: Audrina is back with Justin Bobby (!!!), there's still tension between Audrina and the duo of LC/Lo, Brody is still stringing Lauren along, and Stephanie Pratt is taking full advantage of her fake fight with Speidi. Oh, and Lo is still awesome.
Did we leave anything out?

Hills resident Audrina Patridge celebrated her 23rd birthday this weekend in Las Vegas, and noticeably absent were Lauren Conrad and the show's camera crew. Could Audrina and LC be on the outs just in time for the fourth season? We sure hope so, because a Hills without Speidi and Audrina — and more Lo, Whitney and Kelly Cutrone — is a happy Hills.
Also of note: Audrina, honey, it's probably not best to wear bright pink underwear with a see-through black dress (see fourth photo). Just trying to help.

CariDee English, the seventh season winner of America's Next Top Model, first exercised her bad judgment when auditioning for the Tyra Banks-created reality show. Then she admitted to dating a guy who stole $10,000 of her money to spend in Vegas (we never knew she and Kevin Federline were an item).
But the latest bit of idiocy came last night when CariDee announced that she is currently dating fellow model (and ginormous tool) Tyson Beckford. Um, Cari? Perhaps you should get back with that K-Fed-esque guy.

The American Idol contestants are in Las Vegas this week to drum up publicity for the final four, and Jason Castro continues to steal the show. In this clip, he tries bonding with a dolphin — even shoving his dreads out of his face to steal a kiss — but is quickly spooked. That dolphin doesn't know what she's missing.
Last night was the LA premiere of What Happens In Vegas, and Bai Ling decided it would be appropriate to show up in an outfit that might happen in your grandmother's attic.

America's favorite couple, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, took a trip to Las Vegas on Wednesday to film scenes for The Hills. Spoiler alert: It seems Speidi is still moving forward with the "our relationship is on the rocks" storyline.
Sources at various casinos tell People that not only did the couple stay in different rooms, they’re actually in different hotels.
'Yes it is true,' a rep tells People. 'They are working on their relationship … They were there filming The Hills.'
While in Vegas working on the show, the on-again, off-again couple was spotted arguing for the cameras at the Palazzo’s Dos Caminos restaurant. When the cameras stopped rolling on multiple occasions, Pratt left the restaurant while Montag stayed behind, hanging out with Los Angeles club promoter and her Hills boss Brent Bolthouse. Interaction on and off-camera was limited between the two.
Interesting, since this photo of the two "lovebirds" was taken just last weekend. We can't decide whether it's the fighting or the romance that's fake, but one thing is certain: Many years from now, someone is going to need therapy.

Kevin Federline celebrated his 30th birthday this weekend in Las Vegas and was booed off the stage at his own party. We're more interested in finding out who was watching the kids, because it sure as hell wasn't Britney — and at this point, they're probably better off with a monkey.
OF COURSE "Ever the businesswoman, Heidi Montag will make a scheduled appearance in Las Vegas this weekend. … Spencer Pratt's main squeeze has agreed to host a club night at the Luxor Hotel's LAX, event organizers tell us, despite the recent passing of her stepbrother, Eric O'Hara."
