Carmen Electra turned up at the Rok Vegas Halloween party in New York-New York as a candy girl, handing out tricks and treats from her Carmen’s candy collection tray. She was accompanied by her fiance, former Korn rocker Rob Patterson, dressed as a priest. It was the rock lounge’s inaugural Halloween bash, and while Carmen signed autographs and blew kisses to fans, Rob wowed the crowd with both a DJ set and a special performance on electric guitar.

Tera Patrick, adult film world’s reigning princess, played DJ and host for Tao’s third consecutive Halloween event at The Venetian. The sultry seductress posed for photos on the red carpet wearing a stunning sexy purple dress and rocker boyfriend Evan Seinfeld wore a devil’s costume. They first dined with friends on lobster wontons and Chilean sea bass in Tao restaurant, then went upstairs to the club where she took over the DJ booth. Also at Tao was R&B singer Maxwell after his concert at the Pearl in the Palms. He was joined by singer Jazmine Sullivan, who had opened his show earlier, along with her backup singers.

I joined them at dinner in the resort’s Strip House steakhouse beforehand, where Nigel told me he was hosting a live satellite broadcast for Britain’s Comic Relief fundraiser from the Planet yesterday afternoon.

Aubrey O'Day at Tabu

Aubrey O’Day, former Danity Kane singer, hosted her naughty vampire-themed party at Tabu Ultra Lounge in the MGM. She arrived with her dog Ginger in tow as she did her red carpet walks as Ariel from The Little Mermaid in a gorgeous, long red wig and a sequined turquoise ensemble. The pooch was dressed as Ariel’s sidekick, Sebastian the crab! The surprise guest was new date Jeremy Anderson from The Bachelorette with DeAnna Pappas. Obviously over his heartbreak from the ABC show, Jeremy dressed as Prince Eric and spent the evening embracing and kissing his new love. Aubrey judged the racy costume contest and handed out prizes for the sexiest partygoers. Also attending was Kassim Osgood of the San Diego Chargers.

Tila Tequila, fairy princess.

Tila Tequila, reality TV world’s new favorite bisexual vixen, celebrated her 27th birthday after watching the Criss Angel Believe show. First she had a late sushi supper at Social House upstairs. Then she dressed in a pink angel’s costume and descended to Christian Audigier’s new nightclub and even gave away some of his fashions to winners of the scary and sexy costume contests. The entire club sang “Happy Birthday” when the provocative, pint-sized princess was presented with an orange and black birthday cake. Before she called it a night as dawn neared, Tila went to LAX for more festive fun.
