Holly’s World is no stranger to drama. Usually it centers on the busty stars of the show—but not this time.

This time the minor controversy centers on the video for “Report to the Floor,” the debut single of Peepshow star and vocal powerhouse Josh Strickland, which was filmed with the Holly’s World cast right here in Las Vegas at the Planet Hollywood suite featured in the hit E reality show, as well as at both LAX and Krave nightclubs.

That’s all well and good except that on Holly’s World, while describing where the filming took place, the show failed to mention Krave, the gay venue, instead only informing viewers that it was shot at the Luxor hot spot.

The Strip-side gay club took to its Facebook page to let the truth out, stating, “The issue was on Holly's World they make it sound like Josh filmed his live audience performance exclusively at LAX, when in fact it was filmed mostly at Krave.”

In response to the comment criticizing the omission of the nightclub, Holly’s World Executive Producer Kevin Burns commented that this lack of mention was to avoid confusing viewers as well as due to the program’s limited duration.

“Since the scene setting of the shoot was primarily filmed at LAX Nightclub, we thought it would be confusing to the audience to mention both nightclubs. We are grateful to Krave for letting Josh film part of his music video there. Unfortunately, the limited time we have to tell a story just didn’t permit our acknowledgment.”

Confusing to mention one more name? Aren’t we underestimating the intelligence of the average E! viewer here? And as for the amount of time to mention one more name, squeezing in an additional nightclub moniker would have taken all but five seconds out of the half-hour program.

Maybe Krave should lobby for some airtime love on Ms. Madison’s show. Or maybe the cast should decide on a whim to head out to the nightclub—with a camera crew on their tail, of course.

As the nightclub anthem wails: Are you readyyyyyyyyy?

Well, Team Holly? We know you sexy people want to report to Krave’s floor.
