This weekend's major movie release "What Happens In Vegas" promises to kill off the entire tourism trade to Nevada's largest city. Once people get the idea, however malformed, that an innocuous trip to Vegas could get you hitched to Ashton Kutcher without possibility of parole, no one will ever want to visit Sin City again!
Actually, even a movie this execrable probably can't keep people from going to Vegas. So, have fun, go mad and meet a cutie at one of these hot spots:
Hofbrauhaus :: It wouldn't occur to us to try to pick up hot guys at a German/Bavarian restaurant--sauerkraut breath is a killer!--but maybe if they're German and nude... 4510 Paradise Rd.
Ghost Bar :: HotelChatter has spotted Paris and Tara Reid at this rooftop club at the Palms, but you can meet regular people (and Canadians) there too. 4321 W. Flamingo Rd.
Krave :: Its reputation as an LGBT hot spot precedes it, but if you like drag karaoke, relatively cheap covers ($10 in Vegas is like 10 cents anywhere else) and "gorgeous" girls with pink hair, you'll enjoy it too. 3663 S. Las Vegas Blvd.

There are a lot of dangerous things you can no longer take aboard airplanes--knives, box cutters, full-size bottles of shampoo--but there's no edict against packing a really, really heavy carry-on bag. So when Sienna Miller caught some paparazzi chasing after her at LAX, she did the first thing she could think of: She swung at them with her pink Marc Jacobs bag. Yes, really.
According to witnesses, she did hit a guy but didn't injure him, making enough of a stir for airport security to step in. But we predict the $1,295 bag will become the next It accessory for aggressive celebs, because growing Hulk muscles is hell on designer clothes.

Britney Spears rocked matching shirt, shorts and flip-flops as she boarded a private plane in Mississippi over the weekend. We suspect the Wal-Mart bag contains snacks--no meal service on this flight!
Spears came home for her sister Jamie-Lynn's baby shower this weekend, then headed back to LA to film her scenes from "How I Met Your Mother."
Fans of the New York twentysomething sitcom fretted when Spears did her first cameo, as a socially awkward receptionist, but she was so good for ratings (and so not reviled in reviews) that they're bringing her back as a love interest for Neil Patrick Harris. Is she following in Jamie-Lynn's footsteps and going to TV full-time?

Lindsay Lohan was slapped with a $10,000 lawsuit for taking a girl's coat at a club home with her. 22-year-old student Masha Markova left her family-heirloom mink in a communal coat bin at the Chelsea club 1Oak on a night out in January. The coat disappeared, only to turn up on Lohan several days later in the tabloids.
Markova eventually got the coat back but is suing for damages done and looking for an apology from the star.
We at Jaunted don't condone the stealing of coats, but there's a caveat traveler: If you're going to bring a fur coat out with you, don't let it out of your sight! (But if you do, come up with a cool story for how you lost it.)

"Transformers" actor Shia LaBeouf rocked a '90s flannel, a '70s concert T-shirt, a space-age rolling bag and a nineteenth-century doctor's bag at LAX yesterday. Hopefully he'll be more uniformly packed for his role as Indiana Jones' sidekick in their quest for the Crystal Skull.
LaBeouf just wrapped filming the thriller "Eagle Eye," about a man framed as a terrorist, in Southern California. Next he's switching coasts for a short film directed by Shekhar Kapur ("Elizabeth: The Golden Age") that will be part of "New York, I Love You" with John Hurt and Julie Christie.

So much for a low profile for six months--Miley Cyrus resurfaced after just six days to perform in a Disney Channel concert in Orlando this weekend.
The pop star, alias Hannah Montana, performed two new songs from her forthcoming album and thanked "you guys" in the audience for all the support in the days after images from her potentially salacious Vanity Fair photo shoot were posted online.
Somewhere deep in the mountains of New Mexico, Dick Cheney is feeling lonely.

It's not just Super World Travelers who are subject to persistent rumors of paparazzi-ducking marriages in locales unknown. So as for the talk that Mariah Carey, amidst the buzz for her new album E=MC^2, slipped away to her Eleuthera house to wed actor Nick Cannon, we say: Highly likely!
Just because Cannon allegedly gave Carey the ring he had made for his ex-fiancee, Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, doesn't make their surprise nuptials less probable.
Like all destination weddings, though, this one could later be annulled if the couple, in their lovey-dovey hurry, didn't do the proper paperwork. Whether you're going to the Caribbean or somewhere else, do a little homework before you go in case you don't have Carey's million-dollar lawyers on retainer.

This TSA agent at LAX probably saw Andy Samberg's "Iran So Far Away" SNL skit and came to the conclusion he really knows Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Instead of, you know, Fred Armisen looking very much like Ahmadinejad.
Besides SNL, Samberg just wrapped voice work on a kids' movie set to be released in 2008 called "Space Chimps." In the CGI movie, Samberg's character is the grandson of the original chimp astronaut who is tapped by a NASA commander (Patrick Warburton) to join a mission to defeat an evil alien (Jeff Daniels).
