Golf superstar Tiger Woods hosts his 12th Annual Tiger Jam charity dinner, auction and concert at Mandalay Bay Events Center tomorrow, and for the first time in five years, No Doubt kicks off their new tour. It’s all to raise funds and awareness for Tiger’s Foundation and select Las Vegas charities.

The weekend starts with a VIP reception, which I’ve been invited to attend, and, after Tiger welcomes guests, is followed by an incredible dinner and live auction. Everybody will then move to the stage, where Tiger will introduce Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young for the show. He’s also added punk pop band Paramore and the Swedish pop group The Sounds to the lineup.

Gwen brought her 2-year-old son Kingston to Las Vegas for her weeklong stay here and as an early birthday present took him to see a preview of The Lion King, which premieres tonight at Mandalay Bay.

Earlier, No Doubt drummer Adrian and bass player Tony spent several hours at Mandalay Bay’s J-Pop lounge listening to the new group The Limit. The duo told them they thought the performance was “mind-blowing,” and they loved the band so much, Adrian went onstage to join in a song that had the crowd standing and cheering.
