You wouldn’t really know it, but sexy Playboy Playmate of the Year Sara Underwood is still studying hard at Oregon State University -- and even the 2007 winner has to take a break from the books! So sizzling Sara changed from student jeans and T-shirts to a more revealing, tempting turquoise mini dress with black bodice and cheetah print lining to host a party at MGM’s Tabu Ultra Lounge.

Sara has managed to juggle her schoolwork with a rising showbiz career, with cameo appearances in E! Entertainment’s The Girls Next Door and the film House Bunny. She posed for photos with fans and danced with friends in a VIP booth at Tabu, but when the DJ began playing hit tracks from New Kids on the Block, the single stunner hit the dance floor to show off her skills! We’re predicting that with moves like that, she’ll be on a future season of Dancing With the Stars!

Veronica Grabowski.

For gorgeous Veronica Grabowski, it’s the end of her yearlong reign as Miss Nevada in Donald Trump’s Miss USA beauty pageant -- and actress Laura Prepon even showed up at her farewell party at Blush in the Wynn. Earlier Veronica joined her father, who was one of the judges, as the new crop of Miss Nevada USA hopefuls met for the first time at Hawaiian Tropic Zone inside Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile.

When the new Miss Nevada is picked, she’ll compete this April in Trump’s new Miss USA contest to be telecast live by NBC from Planet Hollywood. Don’t be confused: There are two national pageants, and the Miss America pageant will air from Planet Hollywood on Jan. 24.

Jason Mewes and Katie Morgan at Tao.

Unknown to me but huge with quirky film fans! Actor Jason Mewes and actress Katie Morgan were the center of attention at Tao restaurant and nightclub in The Venetian when they celebrated the success of their new movie Zack & Miri Make a Porno. Jason is known for the role of Jay, one half of the Jay and Silent Bob movie duo from Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The new Porno flick was directed by his Clerks co-star and director Kevin Smith.
