Internet gossip guru Perez Hilton celebrated his 31st birthday here in Las Vegas, and not only did the Las Vegas Pussycat Dolls present him with a sexy “Happy Birthday” sing-along and blue cake, but he also watched performances by Gavin Rossdale and Robert Randolph and the Family Band!

After enjoying a birthday dinner at Social House in Treasure Island, Perez hit the Pussycat Dolls Lounge at Pure in Caesars Palace for the sexy burlesque show. Then it was off to sister nightspot LAX in the Luxor, where the Bush frontman put on an extraordinary live acoustic performance.

Although Gwen Stefani, wife and mom to their kids, was nowhere in sight, Gavin made his way down the red carpet through a flotilla of photographer flashes. Screaming fans went wild as he belted out the Bush hit “Glycerine,” plus “Love Remains the Same” and “Forever May You Run” from his debut solo album Wanderlust.

Perez watched the show from a second-level luxe VIP loft overlooking the stage, while Levi Jones of the Cincinnati Bengals with Felix Hernandez and Mike Wilson of the Seattle Mariners monitored all the moves from a dance floor booth. Also at LAX this week were NFL star Ronde Barber, Fox NFL reporter Jay Glazer and Olympic sprinter and Dancing With the Stars celerity Maurice Greene.

Perez, Gavin and their entourages all wound up at Pure for nightcaps for the now nearing the end of DJ AM’s duties there. NBA star Antoine Walker also partied there for two nights!

Also at Pure was a live musical performance on the outdoor terrace overlooking the Strip by funky rockers Robert Randolph and the Family Band. They performed four of their hits for the crazed crowd, including “Ain’t Nothing Wrong With That.” After the show, they took a nearby table to enjoy the incredible Strip views while enjoying Patron shots.
