Nicole celebrates with her Pussycat Dolls; a Killers surprise

Birthday girl Nicole Scherzinger joins the rest of the Pussycat Dolls during a performance at LAX.

Stunning lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger, celebrated her birthday in top-pop style at the Luxor. She brought all the glamour girls from the gorgeous group -- Kimberly Wyatt, Melody Thornton, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta -- and founder-creator Robin Antin and record producer Marco 'Polo' Bruno. First stop was the chic Company American Bistro eatery, where the model-thin girls selected shrimp ceviche and Soho burgers, followed by grilled Maine lobster paired with two wine courses. Then, a multi-layered chocolate cake topped with sparklers was wheeled in for Nicole as her table sang "Happy Birthday."

Nicole was the center of attention in a beautiful silver-beaded dress -- but instead of relaxing when they moved next door to the LAX nightclub, she and her Dolls decided to give an impromptu surprise performance. They jumped up from their VIP table and landed on stage to sing their hits "Don't Cha," "When I Grow Up" and "Buttons." Fans went into flashbulb frenzy, screaming and taking photos of the five beauties as they showed their dishy-dance moves. After they’d sung their hearts out, Nicole was presented with a massive three-tier birthday cake and everybody in the nightclub serenaded her with the "Happy Birthday" song!

They were joined during the night of dancing 'til dawn by Keeping up with the Kardashians star Khloe Kardashian and Miami Heat shooting guard Dwayne Wade.

Also at LAX, on Wednesday the nightclub kicks off its inaugural night of the 2008 Summer Surprise Series. The Series features live performances on select Tuesdays at Pure and Wednesdays at LAX -- and hometown rock legends The Killers already have made their appearance. Lead singer Brandon Flowers sent the packed club wild with his version of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." It was the first time this year they've performed live and they concluded the two-song surprise set with the dance rendition of "Mr. Brightside." On hand to watch The Killers were actor-comedian Jamie Kennedy and Luxor headliner Carrot Top.
