The city shut down Diddy as fire and safety officials nixed the mogul rapper’s daredevil attempt to repel his way through the open-rooftop of Moon nightclub tonight from a helicopter at The Palms. Less than two hours after LUXE LIFE’s exclusive story of Diddy’s “grand entrance,” the stunt was canceled because of safety and security concerns. Now, Diddy is dreaming a new headline-making opportunity.
Singer Jay-Z set his lawyers in a full force attack against the ICE nightclub when he learned they were promoting his appearance there – at the same time he will be hosting his own party with LeBron James at the rival TAO nightclub in the Venetian tonight. He filed in the 8th Judicial District Court (Case # A536361) and won a temporary restraining order against ICE for its unauthorized use of his name and likeness. His lawyer, Robert Reynolds, told us: “Jay-Z is often misrepresented. False representation of a party at ICE is particularly egregious as his name, likeness, and both of his companies, Rockafella Records and Rocawear, are being used to sell tickets when he has no association with that event. Jay-Z is actually hosting his own party at another location Saturday night in Las Vegas. We will successfully shut down the event at ICE and want to warn innocent attendees of falsely promoted party.”

In fact, Jay-Z, “king of entertainment,” and LeBron James, “king of sports,” will take over the 42,000 square-foot TAO restaurant and nightclub tonight to co-host a private “power dinner” that will consist of a who’s who in the entertainment and sports industries, including many of the CEOs and CMOs from Fortune 500 companies who will be in town for the NBA All-Star Weekend. Following the exclusive dinner, guests will go upstairs to the Asian-themed nightclub where they will be joined by 1,500 stars and athletes who will party to the sounds of DJ Funk Master Flex till dawn. On the guest list are Anthony Kiedis, Ari Emanuelle, Bruce Ratner, Christina Aguilera, Diddy, Donny Deutsch, Gayle King, Harvey Weinstein, Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Larry Johnson, Mary J. Blige, Roy Williams, Steven Stoute, Tiki Barber, Usher and Wayne Newton.
By the way, Beyonce Knowles and her sister were at Okada in the Wynn but no sign — since before Valentine’s Day when they were apart — of her with-longtime beau Jay-Z which could mean they’ve split up as rumored. He was at Nobu in the Hard Rock leaving the girls alone. I’ll be watching tonight at TAO to see if they are back arm-in-arm, but for now, her name isnt’t on the guest-list!!!
Shaq O’Neill also found himself in the center of an alleged $75,000 financial dispute and boycotted a party using his name that a corporate sponsor planned in a buyout of the RAIN nightclub at the Palms where he was staying. Instead, he took off for the rival Tryst nightclub in the Wynn, and as a result with all the traffic congestion he also failed to make it for the Walk of Stars unveiling planned at the Brenden Theatres in the Palms. However, earlier he show with real-estate developer Michael Bellon (picturred) who has built the Pinnacle condo apartments here for a party at celebrity chef Alain Ducasse’s MIX restaurant and ultra-lounge atop THEHotel at Mandalay Bay.
