EX-HAWAII resident Jay Tapaoan and the rest of the We Will Rock You cast are celebrating their one-year anniversary at Paris Las Vegas Sept. 8.

Robert De Niro owns the show, and Jay says he is nothing like the characters he plays in the movies (that’s comforting … I saw Hide and Seek).

You can see the Platinum Collection on display at the Bellagio until the 8th or at www.chipsandtokens.com THE LAS VEGAS Paranormal Conference is happening at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino Oct. 2-4 (whoa … get chicken skin).
