It was a jam-packed 40th birthday celebration weekend for Meet the Parents actress Teri Polo. Instead of looking like her preppy looking character Pam Byrnes in the film and its sequel Meet the Fockers, Teri wore a black leather vest and jeans for her visit to the Cirque du Soleil Believe show starring Criss Angel at the Luxor.

Jamie Wollam and Teri Polo celebrate Teri's birthday at Prive in Planet Hollywood.

Teri, her husband Jamie Wollam and two other couples were in such a last-minute rush that they stopped at a hotel sandwich shop and ordered popcorn, licorice and light beers to enjoy during the illusionist’s show. She also found time to sip mango mojitos at the new Bambu Bar in Mandalay Bay and for a celebration dinner at Strip House in Planet Hollywood.

Teri followed dinner with her birthday bash at neighboring Prive, where she was presented with a midnight birthday cake and Veuve Clicquot champagne. Teri posed happily for photos with fans and listened and danced to the music of Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden, who was guest DJ for the night’s partying.

Brother Benji Madden turned out with a large group of friends to support his twin brother behind the wheels of steel. Benji stuck to Fiji water and sugar free Red Bull, and the group called it quits after 2 a.m.

Teri’s second sequel, Little Fockers, is scheduled for release in 2011.
