*Music mogul Nelly celebrated his 34th birthday in the private dining room at the new restaurant Lavo inside the Palazzo, and then went up to the boutique Lavo nightclub for a birthday cake in the shape of a Ford Flex! In the party crowd were boxer Vernon Forrest, rapper Murphy Lee from St. Lunatics, poker player Antonio Esfandiari and E! Entertainment’s Clinton Sparks. Britney’s now-estranged former hubby Kevin Federline even jumped into DJ Vice’s wheels of steel booth for Patron shots!
