Rival blondes Paris Hilton and Holly Madison became the two beauties who raised the sexy and sizzle stakes at this week’s MAGIC Fashion Week in Las Vegas.

It was mayhem at the Las Vegas Convention Center when Paris unveiled her Spring 2011 shoe collection. Buyers stopped their shopping sprees, and even other exhibitors left their booths to join in the melee watching for the hotel heiress.

Our contributing photographer Erik Kabik was given a prime spot for his Paris photo shoot -- she even remembered him from the night before at her party for her new perfume Tease at Tryst in the Wynn, which is overseen by her nightlife mogul boyfriend Cy Waits.

Erik told me: “I haven’t seen such a frenzy like that at a convention before. They had to have extra security for the crowds, and remember this was trade only and not general consumers. Paris is a phenomenon who attracts thousands wherever she moves. There’s been nothing like this even since Lady Gaga unveiled her Polaroid designs here at the Consumer Electronics Show.”

Meantime, over at Vanity in the Hard Rock Hotel, Peepshow and Holly’s World star Holly Madison turned up for the Hart & Huntington MAGIC party. The event was hosted by Jason Ellis, whose show The Jason Ellis Show airs weekly on Sirius XM radio, with performances from The Darlings, Big B and Eyes Set to Kill.

Holly enjoyed the show with Dingo from The Adventures of Danny and Dingo and Tal Cooperman, owner of DCMA. Also in Holly’s entourage was her assistant and reality TV show co-star Angel Porrino, who steps into her high heels in Peepshow during Holly’s vacation Sept. 13-19. True to form, Jason poked fun at Holly and her group.

Incidentally, CNBC has run a live Strip interview with Holly, titled “The Queen of Las Vegas,” in which she discussed her life in Las Vegas and her future business plans.
