Paris Hilton and Travis Barker in Bed Together; Plus the Labor Day Edition of Robin's Royal RundownThursday, August 31, 2006
What a lady tells her
hairdresser is supposed to be one of the best kept secrets of mankind!!!
But you just knew I'd have to find out what Nicky Hilton
told her colorist Michael Boychuck this week here in
Vegas!!! Now congratulations are in order for Michael who has been tending the tresses
of Nicky for several years, because he's been tapped by the heiress to be her
partner in the hair salons she's putting into her new boutique hotel chain
initially set to open in New York, Miami and Chicago, and to eventually roll
out across America.
Michael has been caring for Nicky and her sister, Paris, even before he opened the
chic-hip AMP Salon at the Palms, where they've both been regular clients. He's
also the Salon Director at the Canyon Ranch Spa in The Venetian and co-owns The
Cutting Room in nearby Henderson.
(You can click here to read Michael's guest column about "hairstyle
secrets of the stars" that he wrote for Luxe Life while
I was away in Italy
earlier this summer.)
All eyes were on Paris Hilton during her CD Release Party/Beacher's Rockhouse grand opening.
The official announcement about Michael's new hotel-salon deal with
Nicky will be made right after the Labor Day weekend but, meantime,
Nicky's hotel executives gave it the green-light GO yesterday! Said Michael:
"It is a real honor. I feel very lucky and blessed. You couldn't ask
to work with two nicer ladies than Nicky and Paris. We've always had fun creating new
styles, new looks, new colors and they are the hottest most popular of today's
young stars. I'm so happy they chose me as their stylist in Vegas and Los Angeles. Now we're
going into business together and they'll be able to have my services at
whichever one of their new Nicky hotels they decide to stay at."
Meantime, it was near dawn yesterday, that big-sister wrapped up the
celebration of Paris Hilton Day in Las Vegas and we've got the full rundown of
what happened at PURE after Luxe Life's troops had to call
it a night; Paris just went on rocking!!! Fans are even asking if the long
pre-dawn tete-a-tete she had with former Blink 182 drummer and the
newly-separated Travis Barker sparked something. Wearing a
Cavalli dress and Christian Louboutin shoes, Paris headed straight to the
DJ booth, grabbed the microphone and greeted the crowd, “What’s up PURE, you’re
here for my CD release party!” and then proceeded to request songs for DJ
Hollywood to play. After a Patron shot pit stop at her adjoining VIP bed, Paris
went to the railing overlooking the dance floor and to Shakira’s 'Hips Don’t
Lie,' performed a sultry dance which had fans' flashbulbs lit a furious, frenetic,
frazzled frenzy.
Paris Hilton holds court Tuesday night during the opening of Beacher's Rockhouse.
While her hit Billboard charts single 'Stars Are Blind' played, she reached
over the railing to sign autographs -- some on $100 bills -- and take photos
for club goers on the dance floor. Then she and Nicky danced at the railing and
were joined by Kimberly Stewart and the trio called for shots
of Patron and moved their dance show to the VIP bed. When singer Eric
Benet joined the Patron-pleasure players, Paris’ entire CD began playing at 1:20AM and
she began dancing as if filming a music video. She wrapped herself in the white
curtains that surround the VIP beds and then began dancing on top of the table.
Paris was in
top form signing more autographs on everything from cell phones to driver’s
licenses. At 2:15AM, the newly-single, heavily-tattooed drummer Travis
Barker joined Paris
and an eyewitness reported: "The two hung out on the VIP bed and seemed to
be engaged with each other, not paying any attention to anyone else around
them." At 3AM, Paris started dancing seductively for him on top of the DJ
booth and grabbed the microphone yelling, “Hey everybody, you people are so hot
and sexy, I love you!I Want to come down there and dance with you, the girls
are so hot and the boys too. This is the sickest party Vegas has seen in a
while, this is fun, Las Vegas
is fun, I love you, and you’re the best. PURE, is the sexiest club in Vegas-the
girls in the room are so hot, you boys are so lucky.” When Paris’
version of Rod Stewart’s 'Do You Think I’m Sexy' was played, Paris announced to the crowd, “His daughter
is here, this is an ode to Rod.” She then returned to her VIP bed where she and
Travis Barker hung out until 4AM, when their entire party decided to move-on
and that's where we lost them. And our lips would be sealed anyway!!!
LIVIN' THE LABOR DAY LUXE LIFE
The Labor Day
holiday weekend is one non-stop wild and wacky party with more events than any
one sane person could possibly catch. So, we've put them altogether in one
massive wrap up of fun-filled festivities so you can plan accordingly. Our
five-day over-view will remain posted here at Luxe Life
until we return on Tuesday, Sept 5 (in time for the beautiful girls of SCORES
adult-mens club to host the big sleepover recovery night at the Palms -- and a
lot, lot more!) Here’s the ultimate Robin’s Royal Rundown:
THURS,

Hitchcock and Graham Russell sing about love in
all its many forms!

He began with a 6-year-run on Saturday Night Live and followed with
TV shows and movies and now David
Spade has his own Comedy Central series. Tonight and
tomorrow he’s at the Mirage and since it’s a holiday weekend might his
multi-millionaire handbag designer sister Kate Spade or his new gorgeous tv
actress galpal be in the audience?
Call it
country comedy, call it blue-collar comedy but Ron

I dug deep to find one healthy
holiday celebration and discovered the Cirque
du Soleil 5K Run, with proceeds going to
4-community charity groups including Andre Agassi’s foundation. The fun all
starts at 6AM out at the Henderson

have to. Entertainers from Cirque’s performers at 'LOVE,' 'KA,' 'O,' 'Mystere'
and 'Zumanity' will be on hand to add to the circus
theme!
