Drai's Hollywood Brings Out Young Hollywood For Post Oscar Bash

eatstaydrink EXCLUSIVE
Last night the stars were out and about all over Hollywood attending the hottest Oscar after-parties. The hot ticket every year are the Vanity Fair and Elton John soirees, which always bring in the "who’s who of Hollywood."

This year there was a shift in the party climate as the nightlife gods of Las Vegas launched the new Drai's Hollywood at the W Hollywood Hotel for the E! Entertainment post-Oscar party.

The event brought in Ryan Seacrest and his E! team, including co-host Giuliana Rancic, Ben Lyons and Michael Yo. It wouldn't be complete without Hollywood hipsters like The Hills star Audrina Patridge, Bridget Marquardt, Jessica Lowndes, Taboo, Cheryl Burke, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Edi Gathegi, Melody Thornton, Dj Cobra and the Hollyscoop girls, Nora Gasparian, Ani Esmailian and myself.

Benji Madden was guest DJ as he spun tunes along with DJ Vice to a atmosphere very nostalgic of Las Vegas sister clubs XS and Tryst. The 20,000 square foot multi-level club has an insane indoor and outdoor club. The pool club will definitely be a hot destination once summer rolls around. Until then, party-goers can enjoy the expansive indoor club.

Congrats to the boys of Drai’s Hollywood (Victor Drai, Jesse and Cy Waits) for launching what's sure to be the hottest party spot in Los Angeles for years to come.

A special Congrats to XS nightclub in Las Vegas! The club has taken the number one spot as the ultimate party destination in the country. Pretty remarkable for a new club, after all it's only been open for a year.

One person who knows a thing or two about a good competition is American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, who made a quick stop at XS nightclub this past weekend. Seacrest, who dined at Botero restaurant prior to visiting the world's No. 1 nightclub, was joined by friends at the owner's table.

Other stars spotted at this club included actor Taye Diggs, Khloe Kardashian, Dancing with the Stars professional Tony Dovolani, Country music star Wynonna Judd, Criss Angel and Carrot Top.

Speaking of stars getting the xs of things, were happy to announce that Sister club Drai Hollywood will finally be opening in March. The 20,000 square foot multi-level club will be opening it’s doors inside the W Hollywood.

Brody And Jayde Keep Romance Alive At XS

Are they or aren’t they? We know Brody Jenner loves his "Bromance," but how is he keeping up with his own romance? We can never tell if the young hunk is on with his on again off again girlfriend Jayde Nicole.

This past weekend, Brody joined his playmate girlfriend at Las Vegas hotspot XS as she joined "Peepshow" star Holly Madison and Playmate Laura Croft. Although the couple hung out together, they left separately.

Jayde recently addressed the rumors that they were dunzo saying,” Yes we’re still together.”

She added, “Brody and I are already wrapped [for season five of The Hills] and I’m sure the rest of the cast will wrap this week. There will be a sixth season and it starts filming right after New Years.”

A Weekend In Las Vegas

eatstaydrink EXCLUSIVE
The saying goes "Whatever happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas" but that's not the case with us! We like to report back all the ruckus that we caused in Las Vegas over the weekend.

I am not much of a party girl, but there's something about the energy in Las Vegas that gets the wild child out of me. After all, whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas right? Well sort of…

This past weekend, I was in Las Vegas for some work and some play with Hollyscoop co-founder Nora Gasparian and friends.

The girls and I stayed at the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino. Here's a tip for all the youngsters, PH is the place to be for some action. It's affordable and there's a lot to do. You can go shopping at the "Miracle Mile Shops" and have some great food at places like Strip House and Koi. In regards to Entertainment, there's Club Prive and the topless show, Peepshow featuring Holly Madison and Aubrey O'Day.

Our Friday evening began with dinner at one of my favorite restaurants TAO, at the Venetian Hotel. No matter how many new ultra exclusive restaurants open up in the city, I always have to make a stop at TAO. TAO’s Ambassador Michael Snedegar hosted a lovely dinner with an after party at LAVO inside the Palazzo. The dinner also included my good pal Alex Acuna who is now working on the ultra exclusive Mandarin Oriental at the City Center.

The night didn't end there! Unlike Los Angeles, the parties in Sin City begin after midnight. The girls and I headed to club Tryst at the Wynn Hotel for a Maxim Covergirl bash. After our tryst at tryst, we headed to one of my favorite nightclubs in Las Vegas, XS.

There was a lot of champagne, dancing and scandal. Despite rumors that Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes were dunzo, the two were spotted getting down and dirty at their VIP table on Friday night. Although they didn’t stay at the club for long, they definitely made a statement with their PDA.

The highlight of the night was bumping into Latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias. Enrique was in town due to the Latin Grammy awards that took place this past week.

The next day we had a fine lunch at Olives inside the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. It’s almost taboo to go to Las Vegas and not have a two-hour lunch at this Olives overlooking the beautiful fountains.

Executive Chef Isaac Carter made a delicious feast fit for a Queen or in our case four Queen B's.

Our Saturday evening we hung out with Robin Antin from the Pussycat Dolls at the Palms, where her latest artist Matt Goss performed. The Gossy room was pretty intense with the cool light show, fun ska music and the British hottie.

After the show, we headed to Perfecto at club Rain where Paul Oakenfold likes to hold court. I must confess, I hadn’t been to Rain in years and was pretty impressed with the music. Being a huge fan of house music, the scene was reminiscent of Miami's nightlife.

Like always our we finished off our night at XS where our good pals were hosting a VIP table by the poolside. Star sightings included Criss Angel and some UFC boys.

The rest is party history, until next time!

yours truly, XOXO

Beyonce Gets Fierce At XS Nightclub

When it rains, it pours! This past weekend Hollywood’s heavyweights poured into Hollyscoop’s certified hot spot XS nightclub in Las Vegas. Pop sensation Beyonce Knowles made it out to a jam-packed club just moments after her killer performance at the Wynn hotel and Casino.

Beyonce Knowles may be singing about “Single Ladies,” but this married pop diva held her own court with a special VIP section, which she reserved for friends, family and members of her team. Joining Beyonce behind the heavily secured velvet ropes were fellow music stars Usher, Missy Elliott, and rapper Flavor Flav.

The “Sexiest Man Alive” was also in the house as Hugh Jackman hit XS along with NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry Bruckheimer, Brett Ratner and Academy Award-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr.

Later in the evening, music star Ne-Yo was spotted with his entourage taking over the pristine dance-floor table. As partygoers spotted the R & B star, Ne-Yo greeted fans and took time to pose for photos. In the meantime socialite Nicky Hilton tried to lay low as she was spotted with her man David Katzenberg and "Beacher's Madhouse" creator Jeff Beacher.

There is no surprise why all the stars hit this ultimate party spot. The 40,000 square foot indoor and outdoor space will make any partygoers feel like a celebrity themselves. To get a special look inside the club check out our exclusive interview with Managing partner Cy Waits below.

Cristiano Ronaldo Scores in Vegas

When Cristiano Ronaldo goes to Vegas, a lot of sin takes place. The Soccer ace was in the city of sin this past weekend with his entourage and boy did he heat up the town!

Cristiano started the weekend off at XS club at about 1 a.m. with a group of friends, and began to drink.

They had mixed drinks and took shots. Around 3:30 a.m. Cristiano began to flirt with the girls in his highly secured VIP booth. The group finally left together at about 4:30 a.m.

On Saturday night Cristiano hung out with some friends at the Playboy Club inside the Fantasy Tower at the Palms Casino Resort. Before heading out to the Playboy Club he went to Nove Italiano for dinner. He was accompanied by seven of his closest friends, who were all fashionably clad in Gucci attire.

To start, the group shared family-style appetizers. For his main course, Ronaldo enjoyed the carbonara and a 16-ounce bone-in filet mignon. Cannolis were sent out for dessert. After their meal, Ronaldo made his way into the kitchen to sign Executive Chef Geno Bernardo’s famous door.

The Portugal star spent his Sunday afternoon relaxing by his hotel pool enjoying a massage by a hunky man. Oh la la!

One onlooker said: "He was playing it cool and didn't want to be noticed. But later he began coming out of himself and seemed like he wanted people to know who he was."

Word around town is that Cristiano asked Paris Hilton to join him in Vegas for the weekend but she couldn't make it. But that didn't stop Cristiano from scoring in Vegas....literally! We hear he gave a few lucky ladies the weekend of their lives!
