Talk about a smokin’ hot body! Peepshow star Mel B was the perfect choice to host the Tao Beach party at The Venetian for US Weekly’s annual Hot Bodies issue. Mel selected a teenie weenie black bikini and stilettos for her walk around the outdoor oasis for our contributing photographer Denise Truscello, who captured these truly sizzling photos.

Believe it or not, Mel, who is in her 30s, also is the mother of two children. She danced at her VIP cabana with husband Stephen Belafonte and several dancers from the adult burlesque show at Planet Hollywood who also were the epitome of Hot Bodies.

Also joining in the festivities was ER’s Shane West, who sat smack in the middle of the pool showing off his own hot body and a new Mohawk-style ’do. Adult film star Sasha Grey admitted that she was amazed at all of the daytime partygoers. She sipped mojitos with a friend while keeping her fair skin in the shade on a cabana day bed. Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden returned for a third consecutive weekend to Las Vegas and joined friends at a Tao Beach cabana.

As the sun slipped behind the horizon, the nightlife at Tao nightclub heated up, and actor Ving Rhames dropped in to help a friend celebrate a birthday. Also in the VIP moat area, Shane’s group grew to 20 and included actress Evan Rachel Wood. Percussionist Ravi Drums performed live with DJ Vice to entertain all the celebrities.
