Jon Gosselin: The Hottest Thing in Vegas

The temperature exceeded 100 degrees … in the shade.

But Jon Gosselin was still the hottest thing in Las Vegas.

The father of eight hosted a much-hyped Vegas pool party Saturday, with four friends and even his mother in tow. Soon enough, he was surrounded by women.

Moments after walking into his private cabana at MGM Grand’s Wet Republic, several girls from the adjacent VIP area approached the celebrity gossip staple.

Jon seemed very much at ease, as he always does with gaggles of girls who for some reason throw themselves at him, ordering champagne, water and food.

The former Mr. Kate Gosselin said, “It looks like we’ll have a good time” – as 2,000 people danced and boozed to the sounds of rock, hip hop and house music.

The King of Pimps holds court over the Land of Mediocre Girls.

Not everyone was happy to see him, though. As he walked on the red carpet at the casino, one bikini-clad woman stood on a railing and shouted, “Team Kate!”

Not a particularly creative diss, but effective.

Sporting shorts and a button-up collared shirt at the pool, Jon was spotted collecting a few phone numbers and mixing drinks for the scantily dressed women.

After his pool time, Jon Gosselin was seen dining at Craftsteak with his mother and friends, and later checking out Cirque du Soleil’s Ká. Solid night in Vegas.

Gosselin is in town for the MAGIC fashion convention, which begins Monday.

As for the clothing line he and Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier are supposedly collaborating on, “Everything is still in the works,” Jon said.

Khloe Kardashian Konfirms: Kopious Kourtney Kardashian Pregnancy Koverage to Kome!

Phew. That was klose.

For a few moments, we were afraid we’d never heard about Kourtney Kardashian and her pregnancy ever again.

How would we face each day without knowing whether or not the reality TV star has chosen to discover the gender of her baby? It’s too unsettling a possibility to even konsider.

Fortunately, Khloe Kardashian told TV Guide that her sister’s expecting state just happens to koincide perfectly with the upcoming season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The writers have made it a “a major part” of new episodes.

“It’s going to be everything Kourtney is going through up until the birth,” Khloe said. “It’s more of a family situation anyway, so I think it’s perfect timing.”

It really is. It’s almost as though Kourtney pulled her goalie on purpose in order to give the show fresh storylines.

Meanwhile, tonight’s episode of Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami features a speed dating session Khloe sets up for her sister.

The reason?

“At first, I was trying to fight a lot more [to get Kourtney to date], but then I realized she was just so miserable without [Scott Disick],” Khloe said, referring to the man that has implanted his seed in her sister.

When did Khloe kome to this realization? When she turned the pages of the script for the next episode.

Fashion Face-Off: Paris Hilton vs. Daphne Zuniga

Paris Hilton is a veteran of the celebrity gossip and celebrity fashion world.

She’s stood toe-to-toe with the top stars on the planet in a number of Fashion Face-Offs, always surviving to fight another day.

But she faces a challenge from a newcomer this week, as Melrose Place actress Daphne Zuniga steps directly into the combative clothing fire.

Both these women were spotted out in the same dress recently. And while Hilton likely has no clue who Zuniga is, the recurring One Tree Hill star shows no fear in the picture below. Can she take Paris down?

You tell us…

Who looks better in this dress?

Rihanna: Kind of Terrifying in Vogue

Some people in fashion say that the ’80s are back. So are the ’60s, ’70s and ’90s, and soon enough the ’00s, according to other “experts,” but no matter.

The new cover of Italian Vogue, featuring Rihanna splashing water from a bucket, or something, and looking hella fierce, channels ’80s icon Grace Jones.

We mean fierce in the literal sense.

In the shoot, by Steven Klein, Rihanna looks like she’s on steroids with the outfit and angular makeup she’s wearing. Or maybe it’s just that bad ass glare …

EXTREME RIHANNA: We don’t know what the hell kind of couture this is, but Rihanna definitely shows off her slightly insane, bad ass side on the cover of Vogue.

Perhaps this is simply a strategy to make sure Chris Brown abides by the terms of his probation and keeps his distance. Scare the living crap out of the guy.

Travis Barker Twitters Props, Grief For DJ AM

After forming a lasting, near-tragic bond over their improbably survival of a plane crash that claimed the lives of four people last September, Blink 182’s Travis Barker can’t believe his close friend DJ AM is gone just one year later.

While he is normally known for his bitter online rants about his former wife Shanna Moakler, Barker’s most recent Tweets were heartfelt and sad …

“Don’t know how i am gonna play 2night but i am for AM. My brother is gone.i love u and miss u, i’ll never forget all the good times we had.”

“I’ll never forget everything we’ve been thru and every time i play the drums i’ll think of you,” Barker’s Twitter tribute continued. “U were an amazing friend/DJ/human being. Rest In Peace my brother, this really f–ks me up.”

Travis Barker and DJ AM prior to the South Carolina plane crash that they both narrowly survived almost a year ago – and which bonded the pair ever since.

The famed drummer has reunited with his longtime band Blink 182 and is on tour with the group, which took the stage in Hartford, Conn., last night.

Blink 182 paid tribute to DJ AM during an encore at their Saturday concert, Rolling Stone reports. When Barker would normally perform a drum solo, the band held an onstage vigil while all of the lights in the arena were turned off.

AM, real name Adam Goldstein, 36, was found dead Friday afternoon. The cause of his death is not yet known, but some say his recent breakup with Hayley Wood may have caused the addict-turned-straight-arrow DJ to relapse.

Here’s a video of Blink 182’s DJ AM tribute in concert …
