New love mates Audrina Patridge and Ryan Cabrera have become Hollywood’s newest kissing duo, and on their first visit to Las Vegas yesterday as a new-two-you couple, they didn’t care who knew about it! They’ve been spotted on three serious dates in L.A., but this was their first runaway to Sin City.

First stop for The Hills reality TV star and the pop singer was lunch at Sammy Hagar’s Cabo Wabo Cantina at Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile. The flirty fashionistas sipped coconut margaritas and shared a cheese enchilada and a chicken taco before heading out hand-in-hand.

Then to satisfy their sweet teeth, they stopped by the newly opened Sugar Factory and indulged in sinful treats including the signature Couture Pops and milk chocolate bars. The duo held hands and kissed while sampling assorted items and bought chocolate body paint for later use.

Sunday’s grand opening of Sugar Factory featured, among others, Mel B, Kendra Wilkinson, Mike “The Situation” Sorrento and Holly Madison.

*The Jersey Shore mayhem continues when the MTV reality TV show’s JWoww hits Moon at the Palms to celebrate her birthday. Jenn “JWoww” Farley has a controversial role on the series and decided that Feb. 27 will be perfect for her Las Vegas debut and birthday bash.

*Burlesque artist and fashion icon Dita Von Teese is returning to the MGM Grand’s Crazy Horse Paris. She was the cabaret’s first-ever guest star and had a sold-out engagement in April 2007. My friend Dita, a former Las Vegas strip club dancer, will feature her new performance numbers that she developed especially for the Crazy Horse stage in Paris last year. The appearances are set for a one-week run March 31 through April 7, and you can bet we’ll be there for full photo coverage.

*ShoWest named Katherine Heigl as its Female Star of the Year this morning, and she will be presented with her award at ShoWest’s Final Night Banquet and Award Ceremony here on March 18 at the end of the four-day convention. Emmy winner Katherine stars opposite Ashton Kutcher in the action comedy Killers opening June 4 from director Robert Luketic. Katherine starred for five years on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and in the movie hits Knocked Up, The Ugly Truth and 27 Dresses. ShoWest is the largest annual convention for the motion picture industry and is March 15-18 at Bally’s and Paris.

*Congratulations to The Mentalist star Gerry McCambridge on his 1,00Oth performance last night since moving to Las Vegas. He’s appearing nightly at The V Theater in Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile, and his show is now the longest-running and most successful mentalism show in Las Vegas history.
