Criss and Holly.

* “We’re having fun” is how "Mindfreak" magician Criss Angel and new Playboy gal pal Holly Madison explained their weekend string of dates after the premiere of his new Cirque du Soleil show, "Believe," at the Luxor.

“We are a couple, and things are really good. Neither of us knows where this is going, but it’s just a great feeling.”

They were inseparable all weekend long and toured the “Screamers” haunted maze on the Brooklyn Bridge at New York-New York, which we reported first yesterday. Now I can tell you exclusively that the couple turned up for pancakes and eggs at an off-Strip IHOP and also ate at the new Tequilas & Taco restaurant at his Luxor hotel headquarters.

I also can exclusively reveal that although Criss drove her to the airport yesterday morning, Holly will return here tomorrow night from Hollywood to spend more time with the magic master on his two dark, off-show days -- Wednesday and Thursday.

“It’s a real romance” one good friend told me. “I think they have fallen in love with each other already. They’ve said they are definitely boyfriend and girlfriend. We’ve never seen him quite like this with anybody else before. She’s great for him, and the timing is perfect for them. They just fit so comfortably together. It’s like it was meant to be.”

Carmen Electra and Rob Patterson.

While Holly is waiting for her new Hollywood loft to be completed since she has moved out of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, she will be staying with Criss at the Luxor. Bridget Marquardt, her co-star on "The Girls Next Door," said last week while visiting Vegas: “Holly has moved out. Kendra has also moved out, and I don’t know how much longer I’ll be there."

Tera Patrick

* Carmen Electra turned up at the Rok Vegas Halloween party in New York-New York as a candy girl, handing out tricks and treats from her Carmen’s candy collection tray. She was accompanied by her fiance, former Korn rocker Rob Patterson, dressed as a priest. It was the rock lounge’s inaugural Halloween bash, and while Carmen signed autographs and blew kisses to fans, Rob wowed the crowd with both a DJ set and a special performance on electric guitar.

* Tera Patrick, adult film world’s reigning princess, played DJ and host for Tao’s third consecutive Halloween event at The Venetian. The sultry seductress posed for photos on the red carpet wearing a stunning sexy purple dress and rocker boyfriend Evan Seinfeld wore a devil’s costume. They first dined with friends on lobster wontons and Chilean sea bass in Tao restaurant, then went upstairs to the club where she took over the DJ booth. Also at Tao was R&B singer Maxwell after his concert at the Pearl in the Palms. He was joined by singer Jazmine Sullivan, who had opened his show earlier, along with her backup singers.

Vince and Lia Neil

* Jesse Jane, Tera’s porn world rival, dressed up as a sexy candy corn for her Halloween party at Prive inside Planet Hollywood. The buxom blonde drank Snow Queen vodka and happily hugged and kissed fans all evening long.

* Vince Neil, our hometown Motley Crue lead singer, hosted at Prive 24 hours later and was joined by his wife Leah, So You Think You Can Dance creator and judge Nigel Lythgoe (who also created American Idol with partner Simon Cowell), and Planet Hollywood’s president, Mike Mecca, and his wife Sandy. I joined them at dinner in the resort’s Strip House steakhouse beforehand, where Nigel told me he was hosting a live satellite broadcast for Britain’s Comic Relief fundraiser from the Planet yesterday afternoon.

Jonathan Davis at LAX.

* Aubrey O’Day, former Danity Kane singer, hosted her naughty vampire-themed party at Tabu Ultra Lounge in the MGM. She arrived with her dog Ginger in tow as she did her red carpet walks as Ariel from The Little Mermaid in a gorgeous, long red wig and a sequined turquoise ensemble. The pooch was dressed as Ariel’s sidekick, Sebastian the crab! The surprise guest was new date Jeremy Anderson from The Bachelorette with DeAnna Pappas. Obviously over his heartbreak from the ABC show, Jeremy dressed as Prince Eric and spent the evening embracing and kissing his new love. Aubrey judged the racy costume contest and handed out prizes for the sexiest partygoers. Also attending was Kassim Osgood of the San Diego Chargers.

They ordered up Montecristo rum cocktails and Belvedere vodka. Close by was Mac computer man actor Justin Long, his brother Christian and fellow actors Keir O’Donnell, Joey Kern and Jonathan Togo and choreographer Adam Shankman.

* Tila Tequila, reality TV world’s new favorite bisexual vixen, celebrated her 27th birthday after watching the Criss Angel Believe show. First she had a late sushi supper at Social House upstairs. Then she dressed in a pink angel’s costume and descended to Christian Audigier’s new nightclub and even gave away some of his fashions to winners of the scary and sexy costume contests. The entire club sang “Happy Birthday” when the provocative, pint-sized princess was presented with an orange and black birthday cake. Before she called it a night as dawn neared, Tila went to LAX for more festive fun.

* Controversial hip-hop star Chingy will make a special appearance tonight at Prive’s “Money for Nothing Monday” inside Planet Hollywood. As one of today's top rappers, he’ll also perform his hits “Gimme Dat” and “Fly Like Me” while shooting greenbacks and Benjamins over the dance floor at the stroke of midnight.
