Mark your calendars now for the Kruse auto action taking place here in Las Vegas on Dec. 19 and 20. Hidden among the rare collectibles such as a 1958 Mercedes SL and a 1966 Austin Healey is a white, 2001 Airstream motor home named “Love Stream.” It was a gift by Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner to former Baywatch beauty Pamela Anderson. As you know, she’s been cleaning out her Malibu home, garage and storage areas, and she’s decided that the 7-year-old vehicle can go on the auction block. It comes complete with a disco ball and stripper pole! Photos of other pink Playboy Bunnies were emblazoned on the seats and are described as still being in excellent condition! More Vegas DeLuxe intimate details as we get close, I promise.

*I hear that Hooters headliner comic Bobby Slayton will end his run there in early March when his current contract expires. He also has decided to take a monthlong vacation this month, and as a result fellow headliner and hypno-magician Gerry McCambridge will do double-duty with two shows nightly as of tonight through Jan. 7, when Bobby returns.

*Jeopardy host Alex Trebek is making the journey in from Los Angeles to tape 10 days of shows over three days at the upcoming giant Consumer Electronics Show. He’ll film from Jan. 8 through 10 and will include a Tournament of Champions and a Celebrity Jeopardy show. Daily keynote speakers at CES include Sony Chairman Sir Howard Stringer, Intel Chairman Craig Barrett, Cisco CEO John Chambers, Microsoft honcho Steve Ballmer and troubled Ford CEO Alan Mulally, who will have to fly commercial or drive here after the recent Washington, D.C., flap over his private plane!

Kelly Clarkson and the bunnies.

*Star surveillance: Legendary country singer-songwriter Reba McEntire and American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson attended Bette Midler’s The Showgirl Must Go On at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Both attended the show separately but palled up afterwards to meet the Divine Miss M backstage. … Inside Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall at center Strip for Drai’s After Hours, Good Charlotte band members and brothers Joel and Benji Madden partied with Carey Hart in the hip-hop room at the hot after-hours spot. Also there: Major League Baseball players Bill Hall (Milwaukee Brewers), Derrek Lee (Chicago Cubs) and Josh Barfield (Cleveland Indians), former baseball standout Mo Vaughn, rapper Too Short, former boxing champion Mike Tyson and San Diego Chargers standout Shaun Phillips. … Dining at Lavo in the Palazzo were poker star Johnny Chin and Mo Vaughan, while upstairs in the nightclub Zach from Real World: Key West and baseball player Frank Thomas partied through the night.

Traci Bingham.

*Former Baywatch beauty Traci Bingham, who won VH1’s “ Fame Game” series when I hosted it here on location in Las Vegas, brought her sassy, sexy style to a “Fire and Ice” party she hosted in the Cathouse at the Luxor. Wearing a cleavage-enhancing and daringly baring top, she posed for photos not only with the partygoers, but also with her Hollywood agent, Mike Esterman, and magician friends Criss Angel and Anthony Cools on a “boys’ night out” after their Strip shows. Traci flew in from a New England family gathering with sister Jennifer, arriving just an hour before the party due to travel delays. She decided to rest up and spend the next day here instead of going on immediately to her Hollywood home. Iron Chef Kerry Simon, who runs the restaurant alongside the Cathouse , also stepped out from the kitchen for the snaps spotlight! Normally unscrupulous gossips and tabloids would have promptly linked Traci and Criss together, but I can tell you safely they were both “ perfectly propuh” with each other!

Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan.

Tonight’s tip

It was a total guessing game up to the last-minute whether Lindsay Lohan would be with gal pal DJ Samantha Ronson when she twists the turntables at Prive nightclub in Planet Hollywood, but the couple checked into PH this afternoon. Insiders say the two had a blow-up while over in Dubai for the opening of Sol Kerzner’s new Palm island resort there and tensions have been strained ever since. But in a recent posting on her MySpace page, Lindsay says that just because Samantha and she aren’t together 24/7 doesn’t mean they’re on the rocks. And tonight’s DJ set should keep people quiet -- for a few hours anyway! … The Houston Texas Cheerleaders squad sashays in for a hot “Lingerie & Bull Riding” party as only Las Vegas could combine during NFR! A gyrating mechanical bull will be brought in for the event, and all the servers and staff will be wearing their Stetson hats! … Pop music sensation Lady Gaga brings The Fame to Jet at The Mirage and will perform tracks, such as her hit “Just Dance,” from her debut album. … Country comedy king Rodney Carrington starts a six-night run as part of the National Finals Rodeo with his performances at the MGM Grand. The fifth night of NFR performances slides back to a 6:45 p.m. start time, and our contributing photographer Tom Donoghue will be in the thick of it for tomorrow’s full photo report.

Tomorrow’s tease

Siegfried & Roy reveal some secrets about their one-night-only Feb. 28 “Moment of Magic” show for Keep Memory Alive, and it’s time to wish Donny Osmond a happy 51st birthday and time to let sister Marie Osmond tell us how she plans to spend her first Christmas in Las Vegas. Ozzy Osbourne’s 60th birthday proved to be a weeklong Vegas visit for his kids, and we tracked them everywhere on the Strip.
