Fans went wild for reality TV star Kim Kardashian when she sent temperatures rising with her boyfriend Reggie Bush at the Wet Republic pool at MGM Grand yesterday.

Kim and her New Orleans Saints football star beau made a family affair out of the weekend visit with her sister Khloe Kardashian and brother Robert Kardashian Jr. -- all from Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Also in the group were Robert’s Bromance co-star Frankie Delgado and Brittny Gastineau of the reality TV series Gastineau Girls.

It was the kickoff of the new summer pool season at Wet Republic, and Kim covered up her black bikini with a long black dress with ivory prints. She glad-handed dozens of fans and posed for photos until the mob got so overcrowded, it began to turn into a melee. The Hollywood visitors took over a VIP cabana area, and our contributing photographer Erik Kabik was invited in for this great photo gallery.

Khloe caused some playful chaos, pulling a prank that wound up with both her brother Robert and Reggie getting pushed into the water. While Kim and Brittny caught up on gossip, snacked on jellybeans and danced to the music of DJ Crooked, Frankie held court in the pool with many female admirers who paddled over to him!

Kim and Frankie took the opportunity to address controversy that hit the Internet in recent days. Kim dissed the fuss that boiled up over a photo of her that was mistakenly put up on a magazine Web site and then replaced hours later with the Photoshop version!

“So what if I have a little cellulite? What curvy girl doesn’t? Who cares. Every magazine cover photo gets Photoshopped to improve it. People will finally realize that just because I’m on a cover, I’m not 100 percent perfect. It doesn’t worry me, so why is it worrying the rest of the world? It gives me bigger incentive to keep up with my workout program!”

Meantime, The Hills star Frankie Delgado denied rumors about singer Rihanna and him getting together now that she’s apart again from singer Chris Brown. “We are just friends … but no romance,” he told People’s Mark Grey. “I guess when you hang out in Hollywood, people talk -- but we really are just friends. She’s doing good.” The 19-year-old Barbados-born singer and her 21-year-old boyfriend reconciled for a while after he was charged with assaulting her, but they have apparently split up now following her trip to New York, where she spent time with her mentor manager Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce.

“She’s back focusing on her career and getting back to work,” People confirmed.

Later yesterday, Reggie and Khloe took in the Lil’ Wayne concert at The Pearl Concert Theater in the Palms, and early this morning, they were joined by Robert and Frankie at XS in Steve Wynn’s new Encore.
