An anonymous brunette draped all over Mindfreak magician Criss Angel got everybody’s attention at the Cathouse ultra lounge inside the Luxor. Saturday Night Live alumnus Jon Lovitz had gone with friends to watch Criss in his Cirque du Soleil show Believe at the resort casino -- and when they went backstage afterward to congratulate him, they invited him to join them for drinks. Criss turned up at the comedy actor’s table in the restaurant club, and all eyes were on his new gal pal! One reliable mutual friend emailed me: “They were making out like they were in high school.”

Also at Believe and in Criss’s dressing room was actress Jenna Fischer on a break from her NBC comedy The Office. She, handsome beau friend Lee Kirk and their mutual brothers and sisters all wanted to see the illusionist’s show as part of her weekend-long Las Vegas birthday celebration. Jenna had Kahlua and cream and popcorn as part of the cocktail order during the show.

The Deadly Seven.

*When seven former Vegas showgirls formed their punk rock band, it was to make music -- but now it looks as if The Deadly Seven are set for TV stardom. Today, they jet off to Hollywood for rival meetings with the head honchos at MTV and VH1! They’re in final stages of discussions for a new reality show that’s described as a “modern day version of the Monkees, but sexy punk style.” I’ve learned that it would be set in Vegas in a rundown-looking mansion stuck in between neighbors Wayne Newton on one side and Donnie and Marie Osmond on the other. Both superstar homeowners are set up for running complaints about the Deadly Seven’s wild parties and extraordinary music! Vegas DeLuxe will keep you posted on the show’s progress. Just meeting the seven luscious ladies would make a TV executive go weak in the knees and declare, “Yes!”
