Lovely One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush stole the spotlight at Tao –- even though actress and National Geographic’s Explorer host Lisa Ling, former Apprentice winner Bill Rancic and his E! News wife, Giuliano Rancic, were dining and partying in a VIP area. The Asian bistro and nightclub at the Venetian played host to all the stars as Sophia joined 10 other glam girls celebrating fashion designer Alisha Levine’s bachelorette party. They feasted on assorted sushi platters, vegetable egg rolls and kobe beef.
The entire celebrity contingent went upstairs to the Tao nightclub to continue their celebrations enjoying bottles of Grey Goose vodka and dancing to the sounds of DJ Reach until the early hours of the morning
Five-time Academy Award winning director Francis Ford Coppola also enjoyed the festivities. He sat with TAO co-owner Jason Strauss at his table on the dance floor VIP section. For the 2nd consecutive night actor Pauly Shore also hung out there. The previous night he’d had fun with the “Funhouse” themed party with “bearded-women” models, clowns and the cotton candy, popcorn machines. Pauly wearing the shortest and skimpiest of European Speedo swim-trunks, impressed the ladies at the Tat Beach weekly party -- including former Cosby Show actress Keisha Knight Pulliam also basked under the Vegas sun at yet another bachelorette party of six friends.
Sophia and friends returned to TAO for a second consecutive night, continuing the celebration of Alisha’s bachelorette party, and they sat just a few tables away from film and television producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. and Smallville star Michael Rosenbaum. Lindsay Lohan’s former beau and British personality Calum Best filmed his new reality show at Tao for MTV UK titled Totally Calum Best: The Best is Yet to Come. After filming, Calum, his crew and friends celebrated in a private skybox with Patron tequila shots and Grey Goose vodka cocktails. For the record, Pauly made it a third consecutive night of Tao partying!
