Over The Weekend
Las Vegas Debauchery, Kentucky Ridiculousness, and the Premiere of Shrek the Third

The vast majority of the pictures from the Tao Beach Grand Opening festivities in Vegas over the weekend are pretty ridiculous, and the one above says it all. It screams we're-rich-and-powerful-and-drunk-and-our-girlfriends-aren't-here, doesn't it? I couldn't justify giving the photo of the two of them holding stacks of cash (I'm serious) the place of prominence in the post, but check it and others from the weekend out after the jump.

Did you not believe me? Nelly also left his lady at home for boy rappers' night out.

50 and Jeezy are really feeling the music.

Aww, Alonzo and Tracy Mourning. Somebody wasn't afraid to bring his wife.

Jay-Z seems to be performing Will Smith's "Gettin Jiggy Wit It" dance with a champagne bottle. Usher can't look.

Jeezy and Nelly, looking less drunk than they probably are.

Regina King. Voluntary attendance at the Kentucky Derby may be style suicide.

Say what you will about Star and Al. She's no Gabby Union, but she sure gave Neicy, Lynn and Regina a run for their money in the fashion department.

The Premiere of Shrek the Third

Seriously, Eddie? First of all, nix the cream-on-white. Second of all, dress you age. Third of all, claim your baby. I just thought I should slip in that last point.

Eddie Murphy shows up dressed as a teenager. Justin Timberlake shows up dressed as Mister Rogers. Go figure.

So what's this about the Kentucky Derby being the new Freaknik? Has anyone else heard this myth? Can anyone validate this claim? Supposedly, everyone in the Southeast makes the pilgrimage for drunken debauchery. I was shocked! Who would've thought silly hats and mint juleps (yummy) would make for a bigger party than Black Beach Week and Miami Memorial Day Weekend combined??

am i unenlightened b/c i don't comment on your smarter pieces? lol. i like what i like. i do read everything, though, and i've been so excited about how witty your writing is. now that i said that, i have to weigh in on tanya's comment.

per perezhilton:
"Picture it: the Kentucky Derby.

Let the New York Observer paint the scene:

"It was around 2 a.m.–Star Jones, clad in a black mini-skirt was getting freaky with her husband Al Reynolds, as Adam "DJ AM" Goldberg burned up the turntables. Mr. Reynolds was gyrating up against Mrs. Jones' backside, his hand positioned oddly on top of her head, while hers clutched the back of his thigh."

All we can say is……..

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"

uhh, does that provide any insight into the freaknik-ness of it all? hahaha.
