For Mean Girls actress Lacey Chabert, it was a weekend-long 27th birthday celebration that she won’t soon forget because in true Vegas style, it was jam-packed from the moment she landed. It began when the bubbly brunette arrived at Tabu Ultra Lounge in MGM Grand in a knockout emerald and gold strapless dress.

Lacey brought an intimate group of friends, along with her mother, to dance the night away. Fans flashed photos of the petite actress as she stole the show when the beautiful Tabu staff presented a two-tiered chocolate mousse cake. The club came to a stop and everybody sang “Happy Birthday” as she blew out her candles.

The next night, Lacey’s party rocked on with a magical experience as she and four gal pals attended the late show of Mindfreak magician Criss Angel’s Believe. Totally appropriate for the Party of Five star!

The Mean Girl was anything but when afterwards, she went backstage at the Luxor to meet Criss and take photos. She’s a huge fan and even stopped in the Criss Angel Believe boutique to purchase swag as a birthday present to herself!

Ali Landry

Ali Landry certainly looked like a fashion mogul when she launched her new line of children’s clothing with a party at Blush in the Wynn. The 1996 Miss USA also looked as pretty as a picture when she posed for leading lens lady Denise Truscello.

Ali’s new line is called Belle Parish, and it was as far away from a crispy, crunching Doritos ad as you could imagine! She greeted friends and buyers alike, with everybody applauding her for the fashions set out on display.

BTW, kudos are in order to management and staff at Blush who are celebrating the nightspot’s second anniversary tonight. Congratulations!

Kid Cudi

There was an all-star celebrity turnout for Kid Cudi when he hosted at Tao in The Venetian to celebrate the official release of his album Man on the Moon: End of the Day.

Sean “P.Diddy” Combs took over a private dining area in the hotspot and held court over a feast of Asian taste treats. His guests included Michael Bay and Tyrese Gibson, director and star of Transformers. The group dined on such favorites as Kung Pao chicken, Kobe rib eye and lobster won tons washed down with Ciroc cocktails, Riesling and Chardonnay.

Engaged True Blood stars Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin stopped by for a late-night snack of signature sashimi and sushi, dumplings and lobster won tons. It was their first visit to Tao, and they wanted to stay longer but had to call it an early night for an early flight home because Stephen was an Emmy presenter.

Numerous friends, including the Wayans brothers, joined Kid. Kid’s dinner was served on the outdoor dining balcony on the Strip, where he watched the nightlife scenes of our city. After a meal of pork pot stickers, wok sirloin, crispy shrimp and sushi, his group headed up to the nightclub to a dance floor table.

DJ Vice had the rapper moving and shaking, and within moments Kid took to the stage, entertaining the packed club with several songs, including his hit “Day and Night.” He finished his impromptu performance by doing his version of LMFAO’s hit “Shots.” Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce invited Kid to stop by his table after the show. Also seen applauding Kid were NFL free agent Ty Law, Jermaine O’Neal of the

Miami Heat, actors Chazz Palminteri and Oliver Hudson and reality star Stephen Colletti, who refused to call it a night and went next door to Lavo in the Palazzo for Patron nightcap shots.

Chuy Bravo

The diminutive Chuy Bravo of E!’s Chelsea Lately rang the bell partying at Lavo. First he enjoyed dinner on the outdoor dining terrace overlooking the Strip and ordered Kobe meatballs, sea bass and spaghetti carbonara before hosting upstairs in the boutique nightclub. He hopped atop a go-go dancer’s podium and grabbed a mic to welcome all the partygoers. He danced with the Lavo dancers and made it a point to have two females on his arm throughout the night -- rotating them as the hours ticked by! Zumanity dancer Alan Jones Silva stopped by to hang out with his friend.
