11 party hosts stranger than Jon Gosselin

Jon Gosselin

When we heard Jon & Kate Plus 8’s Jon Gosselin would be hosting at Wet Republic this Saturday, we were a bit confused. What is this father of multiples currently going through a much-publicized divorce doing in Vegas? And publicly partying it up, no less? We thought his gallivanting with barely-legal girlfriends was bad enough, but Gosselin has hit a new low and is threatening to take Vegas party-goers down with him. That got us thinking: Who would be an even stranger or more inappropriate party host than the Audigier-clad dad? Thanks to an informal office poll, here are the results.

Nadya Suleman talks it out with NBC's Ann Curry.

If having a passel of children is what it takes to get your face on a flyer for a Vegas shin-dig, Nadya Denise Doud-Suleman Gutierrez has it in the diaper bag. Besides, we’re guessing she could use the money from the appearance to help wean her dependence on public assistance.

John Ensign:

Relationships outside of marriage are popular amongst party hosts, so our senator is the perfect candidate for this job. Co-hosts could be contestants from the reality show Wife Swap.

Governor Milorad "Rod" Blagojevich:

Scandal and that sweet coif of hair aside, the dude’s got mad karaoke skills and could croon a few Elvis songs as the entertainment for the evening.

Blagojevich!

Glen Beck:

Hmm… a Fox News personality, recovering addict and Mormon. Who’s ready to be scrutinized for living it up in Vegas?

Jigsaw from the Saw movies:

You think you’re going to drink and dance all night long…

Jenna and Barbara Bush:

Former president George W. Bush’s daughters are hot in that super-conservative you-know-they-have-a-wild-side kinda way. If you get enough booze in them, maybe they’ll make out.

OJ Simpson:

Wait, has he hosted a party here yet? Former sports stars love the clubs (Hi, Mike Tyson. See you at Seamless later? Michael Phelps, can you pass the dutchie on the left-hand side?). And murderers, kidnappers and thieves like to have a good time, too. Allegedly.

Monica Lewinsky:

Likely celebrating the launch of another handbag line, any female party-goers wearing a blue dress drink for free all night. Complimentary cigars for the guys.

Bristol Palin, right, and her baby daddy/ex-fiancee Levi Johnston.

Bristol Palin:

An unwed teen mother from a politically conservative and religious background surrounded by booze and debauchery – what’s not to like? If she’s poolside, maybe Bristol can borrow her mother’s American flag bikini. (Yeah, we know that photo was a fake, but still…)

Bernie Madoff:

Madoff probably won’t make it through his 150-year prison sentence in time to down a bottle of Goose poolside, but should he arrive in Vegas ready to party, we’re thinking a private event for all the folks he defrauded is apropos. If security happens to get lost on the way to the bathroom, we won’t tell anyone.

Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris:

Actually, we’d attend that event. Chuck Norris would roundhouse kick us if we didn’t.
