Robin Leach and Holly Madison, with her "party pug" at LAVO.

* "Girls Next Door" star Holly Madison will be back for Criss Angel's world premiere "Believe" show next Friday on Halloween. She’ll walk the red carpet at the Luxor with her Playboy co-star Bridget Marquardt as her "date" -- before joining Criss after the show at his celebration party. Holly told me the news when I joined her on the outdoor patio at the new LAVO restaurant in the Palazzo after her dinner with Palms hotel tycoon George Maloof -– and before she went off to meet up with Criss after one of his preview performances. Clutching her "party pug," she said excitedly: "Criss has invited me for the premiere -– and I’m coming back for that. This weekend I have the last Halloween party up at the mansion -- and then I’m coming right back to Vegas." She and Bridget will host their own "Trick ‘em and Treat’em" Halloween bash at the Playboy Club at the Palms -- and then stay on for Criss. Holly on Wednesday flew from Vegas to Burbank after yet another long weekend in Sin City, with two consecutive get-togethers with Criss.

Suge Knight

* The VIP section at the Bank nightclub in the Bellagio was jam-packed with celebrities and "OC" actress Shannon Lucio was there with girlfriends and Jacksonville Jaguars star Jerry Porter. The night before, Death Row Records founder Suge Knight, "Sunset Tan’s" Olly Girl Molly Shea, actor Bradley Cooper and former boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. all hung out there

* The LAVO restaurant and nightclub has started a new weekly business mixer in the Palazzo and among those attending the first event was Palms hotel owner George Maloof, who escorted "Girls Next Door" star Holly Madison. Then Hefner’s ex and the casino tycoon had dinner of Caramelized Salmon and Mediterranean Sea bass. Holly held onto her stuffed animal-puppy when she went out onto the hookah patio, where her group of friends was joined later by motocross star Cary Hart. Also there was "American Idol" runner-up Katharine McPhee, who treated her dancers to dinner of pizzettes, beef kabobs and chicken paillard since they were all in town for a private show. Then they all hit the upstairs dance floor, where celebrity chefs Daniel Boulud and Paul Bartolotta were spotted along with President George W. Bush’s former press secretary, Ari Fleisher.

* Mixed martial artist Tito Ortiz and his ladylove, former adult movie actress Jenna James, are getting ready to introduce their new baby to a life of luxury. They’ve just bought a new four-bedroom home in Huntington Beach, Calif. The waterfront mansion has a library, walk-in wine cellar, private boat dock, a balcony and 3.5 baths! In my best rich and famous voice, let me tell you they got it at a bargain economic downturn price of just $3.4 million! Jenna says she’ll still be back and forth to Vegas but until the baby is born she’s resting up there staring at the ocean.
