PETER FACINELLI HITS CHATEAU NIGHTCLUB

****
TWILIGHT IN LAS VEGAS
****



Peter Facinelli



Saturday night, Twilight superstar Peter Facinelli, looking dapper in a grey suit, hosted at Chateau Nightclub & Gardens inside Paris Las Vegas. Facinelli hit the red carpet for photos before heading to the club. While on the red carpet fans gathered to catch a glimpse of Facinelli as he talked with media and posed with the Sugar Factory special edition “Vegas” couture pop, aptly adorned with a pair of dice.

Before heading upstairs to Chateau Nightclub & Gardens, Facinelli spoke about the final installment of the Twilight Saga coming to theaters this November. He also talked about his new independent film Loosies, which he wrote, produced and starred in. The movie, based on a pick pocketing lead character with a few indiscretions, had Facinelli joking that it was “based on a true story.” Wrapping up the red carpet, Facinelli showed appreciation to his female fans and Twi-hards by taking multiple photos with the excited devotees.

Once inside, Facinelli held court in a VIP booth overlooking the dance floor and checked out the DJ booth. Later in the night he headed upstairs to the Gardens, the club’s lush third floor, and caught part of DJ Christopher Lawrence’s set.

BECOMING BRITNEY TO DEBUT AT RETRO DOME

Molly Bell


Keith Pinto



How does a pop sensation wind up bald and trapped in her own musical? And can musicals save her soul?

Debuting at The Retro Dome in San Jose, Calif. on February 10, Becoming Britney is a caustic (but loving) fable that chronicles the rise, the dip, and the salvation of a foolhardy celebrity phenom. Part parody, part homage, this high-octane award-winning musical manages to elevate itself above standard musical satire and pop culture snark to add a layer of heart.

Becoming Britney, which was honored at the prestigious New York International Fringe Festival, features 14 original songs that pay homage to multiple musical theatre genres; they include a comical waltz between Britney and K-Fed as they both agree the other is, “The Love of My Life (So Far),” a show-stopper called “Push It Out” in which Brit has two babies, and “Out of Control,” a swingin’ jive number about her downward spiral with the help of friends Lindsay and Paris.

The show features New York International Fringe Festival Award-winning actress Molly Bell* in the title role alongside Keith Pinto*, Adam Barry*, Lizzie O’Hara, Leanne Borghesi* and Danelle Medeiros.Book, Music and Lyrics are by Molly Bell & Daya Curley, who also directs. Becoming Britney is produced by Scott, Shannon and Stephen Guggenheim of Guggenheim Entertainment, Inc.

Becoming Britney opens Friday, February 10 and closes Sunday, March 11. Shows will run Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. More information and tickets are available at www.theretrodome.com.

KID ROCK AND J.COLE CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS

Kid Rock At Tao


J. Cole



After performing at his sold out concert Saturday night Kid Rock hosted an after concert party at TAO. The rocker was joined by a large group of friends including Uncle Kracker and Rande Gerber, taking over a section of VIP tables and enjoying Jim Beam and Miller Lite. Having just celebrated his 41st birthday, Kid Rock was surprised with a belated birthday cake shaped like a "Badass" beer can, a replica from his own brand of beer. DJ Vice spun a selection of his music and wished him a very "Badass" birthday, shouting out Detroit and the rocker throughout the night to a cheering crowd. While making his way out of the club, Kid Rock made sure to stop and shake the hand of a Marine, thanking him for his service.



At LAVO rapper, singer and producer J Cole celebrated his 27th birthday. Surrounded by friends the guest of honor dined on signature favorites at LAVO as fans stopped by to request photos. His group swelled to nearly thirty people as he made his way up to the nightclub, taking over several VIP tables. He was surprised by a cake in the shape of a keyboard that he pretended to play as the crowd went crazy. J Cole treated club goers to an impromptu performance of two of his hits and graciously took photos with fans.
