Twins and tennis champions Mike and Bob Bryan.

* Reigning U.S. Open doubles champions Bob and Mike Bryan picked Lavo inside the Palazzo to celebrate the completion of their second annual Camp Bryan tennis event. Joined by friends and family, the handsome twins dined on signature dishes from the Lavo menu, including the famed bread pudding. After dinner, they hit the nightclub, where Mike Bryan surprised his girlfriend Lucile with cupcakes and sparklers for her birthday.

* "Laguna Beach" and "One Tree Hill" heartthrob Stephen Colletti arrived at Studio 54’s pre-dawn after-hours party in MGM. He and a group of friends turned up at the legendary nightclub to enjoy the high-energy revelry that rocks on at a time when most of us are getting up for breakfast!

* A crew of celebrities including Wayne Brady, Harry Hamlin and his wife Lisa Rinna, Deborah Gibson and many others are due tonight at Blush in the Wynn for a Royal Plush clothing party. It helps jump-start the celebrations for sister hotel-tower Encore’s opening next Monday. The two hotels had the hot, new clothing line designers create a fashion collection of customized lounge and lifestyle apparel and accessories in connection with the upcoming opening -- and they will be unveiled at the party before going on sale throughout the properties.

Rapper Too Short.

* Don’t expect to see the Kardashian sisters wearing anything fur when they host the New Year’s Eve countdown here however cold it might get.

In fact, if Khloe Kardashian has her way, they’ll never wear fur again anywhere! She’s just signed on for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ new “Fur? I’d Rather Go Naked” campaign following in the high heels of Eva Mendez and Pamela Anderson. Sure enough for the giant billboard that wrapped an entire building for the unveiling of the new ad and posters, Khloe stripped for PETA. The Kardashians presumably will be clothed, however, for their Dec. 31 appearance at LAX nightclub in the Luxor.

Said 24-year-old reality star Khloe: “I like the fact I’m bringing attention to something very important. It was great to strip off all my clothes and go naked for such a good cause.
