birthday bash at Pure

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you ... you may recall that Paris Hilton had a block party on the Strip near Caesar’s to celebrate her birthday. Sister Nicky chose Pure for her 23rd celebration. Partying with her were boyfriend Kevin Connolly, pal Casey Johnson (from the Johnson & Johnson family) cousins Farrah and Brooke Hilton, sister Paris and many others. Lotsa speculation that the huge diamond on her finger is an engagement ring from KevCo. What do you get for a sister who has hundreds of millions? Paris says she took her black AMEX card to her sister’s favorite store, Chanel. And what does one put on the top of the cake for an heiress, fashion model, designer and hotelier? See an image of it at www.KimosVegas.com.

HONEY, you never said ... Did ya hear about the Palms high-roller who was getting a VIP tour of the new Playboy Club? When Mother Nature called, it was only natural that the tour visit the club’s gentlemen’s room. While glancing at the dozens of Playboy centerfolds on display in the men’s room, the high-roller noticed a familiar face - his bride-to-be wearing only a tan.
