Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall party all the time at Jet, then Tao

Comedy stars Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall decided to make it a party after watching Cirque du Soleil’s O at the Bellagio last night. They surprised thousands of partygoers when they arrived at Jet in The Mirage shortly before midnight. They palled up with VH1 reality TV star Joanna Hernandez and her girlfriends, and the actors were quickly surrounded by a bevy of beautiful ladies.

DJ Que spotted Eddie and Arsenio being mobbed by the maidens and immediately switched the turntables over to Eddie’s 1980s hit “Party All the Time.” Within seconds, the party girls jumped on the banquets and entertained the two stars with some fancy footwork -- and as one spywitness told me this morning: “That really made Eddie smile.”

The funnymen were still partying there early this morning, and as yet it’s still unknown what time they called it quits or whether they went on to another party hotspot on the Strip.

Update at 4 p.m.:

Sure enough, and just as I guessed, our two partying stars kept going through till at least dawn! Shortly before 4 a.m., Eddie and Arsenio turned up at Tao’s Worship Thursdays in the Venetian, joining hip hop reality star Flavor Flav, who had shown up earlier at midnight.

By now, six guys had joined Eddie’s entourage, and while Arsenio drank dirty martinis before breakfast, Eddie stuck to bottles of Coke. Moments after they’d settled into their VIP section, the star wattage powered up even brighter when superstar singer Rihanna joined them with her friends.

She wore sexy black leggings covered only by a fitted black leather jacket. Keep in mind on one of the hottest summer nights, the temperature outdoors was still up in the 90s! BTW, Rihanna has added a blonde streak to her bangs, which undoubtedly will trigger a trend with her fans.

When dawn broke just before 6 a.m., Eddie, Arsenio and friends took off, and doubtless we’ll get another Star Surveillance report as to where they finally ended up to call it a day. Our Vegas DeLuxe spywitnesses are at the ready tonight for their next Strip party crawl!
