Kim Kardashian celebrated the New Year at her favorite place, Tao Las Vegas. She arrived in a silver hand beaded asymmetric draped dress that was custom made by Marc Bouwer as well as signature Christian Louboutin heels. The evening started with dinner at Tao where Kim enjoyed Chilean Sea Bass and many other signature dishes. After dinner, she craved dessert so she indulged into the Tao’s fortune cookie that promised her a future of happiness, love and success. She enjoyed her cookie and had another bite of dessert from her brother's plate.
Rob Kardashian, Brittny Gastineau, famed video director Hype Williams and many other friends helped Kim ring in the New Year at Tao Nightclub after dinner. She arrived to Tao with mic in hand as she addressed the screaming crowd, “I did my 30th birthday here a couple months ago. I am happy to be back! Later tonight I have a surprise for you!” She then made a toast to her friends, “to a great and amazing new year ahead, I love you guys!” The party began and included lots of dancing and laughing with close friends. Kim stated that her resolutions are “to spend more time with family and have more ME time. I also want to step it up in the gym. I have been doing so good in 2010 being dedicated to health and fitness. I want to keep it up. Actually, it’s a life resolution for me.”
“Our entire family made a resolution to each other to get out of our comfort zone and push the envelope and be open to all challenges, which my sisters and I have a new announcement coming up.”
As 2010 ended, Kim led Tao into the final countdown from the stage. As midnight struck, balloons and confetti fell in an explosion of energy as the crowd cheered, “Happy New Year!” Kim finished the countdown with “Let’s party Vegas!”
Later in the evening she moved to the dance floor as she unveiled her surprise for the guests. The DJ played her new song, which is still untitled. Tao guests were the first to hear the new track. She sang along as the crowd danced to her new song. Hype Williams was on scene to shoot club scenes for Kim’s new music video. Fans screamed and snapped photos of Kim as she partied to her new song.
She ended her night around 2am and headed back to the Piazza Suite at the Venetian for a Girls Only slumber party for all her closest friends. She also expressed, “The Venetian is my favorite place to stay. They take such good care of me and it is like my second home.”

(Photo by Denise Truscello/WireImage) *** Local Caption *** Brandi Glanville; Jessie James LAVO's two year anniversary celebration continued on Saturday as celebs soaked in the sun at TAO Beach. Brandi Glanville showed off a perfect bikini body and kept her girl's weekend going with her group of model friends. Hers wasn't the only hot body on display as Stacy Keibler and Stephanie Pratt also hit TAO Beach. Pratt chilled in a cabana with Josh Henderson throughout the day and took part in a major water balloon fight, ending up soaked. Dave Annable from Brothers and Sisters and fiancé actress Odette Yustman kicked off their joint bachelor/bachelorette party at the hot spot, enjoying signature cocktails and dishes.
Saturday night capped off LAVO's anniversary weekend and the birthday of TAO Group partner Noah Tepperberg as a large group took over the dining room for a feast under the watchful eye of TAO's famed Buddha. Spotted toasting the celebratory weekend were Kevin Connolly, Brandi Glanville, Stephanie Pratt, Anthony Mackie, Clifton Collins Jr., and photographer Terry Richardson. Bob Saget dined nearby and made certain to say hello to his Entourage co-star Connolly. Dave Annable and Odette Yustman were joined by friends including Annable's co-star Matthew Rhys in the private dining room where the couple was surprised with a pink and black bachelor/bachelorette cake from Gimme Some Sugar. The couple shared a kiss as their friends cheered.
The biggest surprise of the night came when Lady Gaga entered the Asian Bistro. The chart topper known for her unusual outfits did not disappoint, parading through the restaurant in sky high heels and poufs of lace, with lace veils covering her face. She dined with her entourage and security, enjoying Lychee Martinis along with Sashimi, Sushi, Pot Stickers and Vegetable Dumplings. The table sent over a bottle of Ace of Spades Champagne to Tepperberg before leaving as crowds outside the restaurant watched in awe and shouted out her name.
The party continued upstairs in the nightclub as celebs and friends from around the world gathered for Tepperberg's birthday. The soundtrack for the night was provided by DJ Vice and Ravi Drums, and stunts marked the occasion, ranging from a fairy delivering bottles of Champagne and Patron via a zip line from the TAO stage to a little person arriving perched upon a toy motorcycle raised in the air. Joining the party in the club were Stacy Keibler, Josh Henderson and Kim Kardashian, who flew back to Vegas for a second night in a row after attending a wedding in California. Also spotted in the club was Antione Wright from the Sacramento Kings.

Posted by Staff (04/25/2010 @ 2:36 pm)
In celebration of Hole’s newest album, “Nobody’s Daughter,” Courtney Love was out and about on Saturday night, hosting at Las Vegas’ TAO bistro. Love spent most of the night in a skybox, where she was presented with a cake and sat drinking sparkling water.
Around 1AM she took to the stage for an impromptu performance. Courtney made a throwback reference to MTV Unplugged and followed with “Pacific Coast Highway” and “Someone Else’s Bed,” accompanied by Mico on guitar.
Though most would hate to admit it, Love looks pretty good. It’s amazing what a night of sobriety can do.
