Paris Hilton and Benji Madden.
* Pop princess Paris Hilton was the special star guest at Planet Hollywood for last night’s premiere of her new horror movie Repo! The Genetic Opera. Her yearlong beau, rocker Benji Madden of Good Charlotte, flew in with her for the red carpet walk through the hotel, which was packed with hundreds of her fans. They were welcomed by the resort casino’s head honcho, Robert Earl. New love mates Criss Angel and Holly Madison were among the star turnout still partying early this morning at Prive inside Planet Hollywood.
* Tao’s 3rd anniversary at The Venetian will be a star-studded affair tomorrow night. Among the many celebrities set to attend are "Grey’s Anatomy" actress Ellen Pompeo, Kate Walsh and Taye Diggs from "Private Practice," Amanda Bynes of "Hairspray," "The Office’s" Jenna Fischer, Stacey Keibler from "Dancing With the Stars" -- and I’m taking the Alizma violin-playing triplets since it’s three for three!
Amazing to think it was back in 2005 that the Asian-themed restaurant and nightclub first opened its doors, and the 60,000-square-foot entertainment complex has been celebrity-filled ever since! Happy Birthday to Mark Packer, Rich Wolf, Jason Strauss and Noah Tepperberg, who run the operation -- and now Lavo next door at the Palazzo -- so successfully! Tao was named the top-grossing restaurant operation in the country the past two years!
* Poker goes to a whole new level when the Hard Rock Hotel launches its new “Dream Team Poker” this weekend, and celebrities Heidi Montag of "The Hills," "ER’s" Mekhi Phifer, "Knight Rider’s" Yancey Arias, Roger Cross from "24" and Jean-Robert Bellande from "Survivor: China" will be among the first stars to play! Poker prince Jamie Gold, who won the 2006 World Series of Poker, and bracelet winners David Benyamine, Erica Schoenberg, David Daneshgar and Kenny Tran will also play. It all kicks off tonight with a welcome party in the penthouse and a red carpet extravaganza at high noon tomorrow. There’s a VIP party at Body English tomorrow night.
