Pop sensation Matt Goss and Pussycat Dolls creator Robin Antin hosted The Playboy Club festivities at the Palms, and they named two lucky ladies as Miss Playboy Club November and Miss Playboy Club December.
Las Vegas’ Brittani Cal-Williamson was chosen for November, while actress/model Raven “Alexis” Armenta from California won for December. Partying at a VIP table with Matt and Robin was actress and former MTV VJ Downtown Julie Brown and May 2006 Playboy Playmate Alison Waite.

*I’d never heard of the Flash Mob phenomenon on YouTube until the frenzy took place at Planet Hollywood’s casino floor. Unknown to hotel officials and guests, a large group strolled casually and unrecognized through the resort. Suddenly on cue with their own music, they all burst into song and dance, and it was so infectious, dozens joined in the spontaneity. We’ve renamed it the PHamous Flash Mob!

Shay Carl and a group of his YouTube friends as the Flash Mob put the surprise three-minute dance event together. They wanted to raise the bar on their unique happenings by filming right in the middle of a Las Vegas casino totally unannounced. However, they did recruit an army of 200 volunteer dancers through anonymous daily vlogs on YouTube. Flash Mobs have been performed at a train station in Liverpool, a park in London and have now spread from Times Square New York to Planet Hollywood Las Vegas. Here are a few other Flash Mobs:

Within minutes of the Flash Mob appearance, clips were uploaded on YouTube, and within minutes, users crashed the producers’ Web site. More than 15 million-plus mentions on Twitter were recorded within 24 hours of the Flash Mob event, and it took just 12 seconds after the Flash Mob’s strike for the first tweets to appear.

Christian Serratos, who stars as Angela in the popular Twilight films, was the center of attention attending Aubrey O’Day and Holly Madison’s Peepshow at Planet Hollywood and went backstage after the show to meet the cast. … While incredible illusionists Siegfried & Roy are vacationing on sunny beaches, their leading lady Lynette Chappell was proving her heart of gold volunteering at Adopt A Rescue Pet -- that’s where Holly got her pets. Lynette also will be volunteering at Opportunity Village events this week.
