Blonde bombshell Pamela Anderson continued her champagne-fueled late birthday celebrations right into the early hours yesterday. Vegas DeLuxe posted yesterday red carpet photos at the start of her partying at Tao Beach in The Venetian on Saturday, and now we’ve got the inside fun at Tao nightclub Saturday night.

At Tao Beach, the Dancing With the Stars contestant took over a cabana with friends that including one-time-horned Zumanity star Jesus Villa. Pamela was surprised and thrilled with a replica Veuve Clicquot cake from Gimme Some Sugar presented to her by two Tao Beach staffers. The birthday procession included a real bottle of the champagne delivered by a girl in a raft, followed by a flotilla of whale and dolphin beach floats.

Birthday girl Pam kissed the cake delivery boys on the cheek and then instructed each of her friends to take a bite out of the giant confection. The former Baywatch actress went into the DJ booth and greeted the crowd.

The birthday party continued later at the nightclub as Pamela took over a dance floor table and was joined by tattoo master Mario Barth and Heatherette’s Richie Rich, who flew in from New York for the party Veuve Clicquot continued to flow, and another cake topped off the birthday celebration. Thanks to Richard Corey for posting his videos on YouTube.

Derek and Candace Fisher at Tao in The Venetian on June 26, 2010.

Also at Tao was Derek Fisher, who had flown in from Miami, where the Miami Heat brass wooed the free agent. Derek brought his wife Candace to celebrate her birthday, and the couple and their friends had dinner at Tao before heading up to the same skybox in the nightclub where he celebrated his L.A. Lakers championship just a few weeks ago.

Derek remained tight-lipped when asked about a decision but did say that Miami wasn’t out of the question. Maybe sports fans will know more about his decision two weeks from now when LeBron James, the Heat’s newly signed star, hosts at Tao and sister Lavo next door in the Palazzo?

Camp Freddy at The Pearl

CAMP FREDDY AT THE PALMS

The party was nicknamed “Debauchery in the Desert,” and the event lived up to its name with guests showing up in lingerie and pajamas for Jimmy Tipton’s annual high-rollers event. The concert and party began with the scantily clad girls of X Burlesque premiering their new Teased show.

Then headliner Camp Freddy really sent the party crowd crazy with the rock star super group featuring Matt Sorum, Dave Navarro, Donovan Leitch Jr. and guests including Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath, who performed The Sex Pistols’ “Pretty Vacant,” plus Corey Taylor of Slipknot, who performed Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell” while wearing Spider-Man pajamas, and Las Vegas’ own Vince Neil, who kicked off his set with “Girls, Girls, Girls” clad in black silk pajamas. Thanks again to Richard for his video posted on YouTube.

Carmen Electra Hosts at Crown

CARMEN ELECTRA AND ROB PATTERSON

Just 100 yards away -- across the street at the new Crown Nightclub at The Rio, Dave Navarro’s ex-wife Carmen Electra hosted a party that featured fiance Rob Patterson of Korn performing a guitar solo. Rob took over center stage of Crown’s dance floor and opened his set playing alongside Notorious B.I.G. ’s “Hypnotize.” Carmen watched from her table and danced the entire time Rob played. Before the night ended, she happily posed for photographs and signed autographs.

Audrina Patridge and Corey Bohan.

AUDRINA PATRIDGE’S BOYFRIEND IS …

The broken romance between The Hills star Audrina Patridge and Australian BMX rider Corey Bohan is all patched up, and those who watched the couple at the RawTeams.com launch party at Encore Beach Club at Encore said “the love is back on big time … they never left each other’s side.” Singer and co-star Ryan Cabrera, who was very cozy with Audrina recently at Liquid Pool Lounge in MGM CityCenter’s Aria celebrating her birthday, was nowhere to be seen.

Audrina and Corey were inseparable for two consecutive days while at Steve Wynn’s Encore. At the weekly Dip and Dance evening swim party, they drank white wine at a VIP table alongside the DJ booth. Audrina kept her bikini body under wraps, but didn’t mind the cameras catching their kisses.
