Justin Bieber performed live at the Theatre for the Performing arts at Planet Hollywood Resort on July 24th! My good friend Erik Kabik was there to get these awesome shots. He told me, “The high pitched screaming the girls was like nothing I have ever heard, maybe even louder than the Jonas Brothers concert I shot last year! unreal”. I can only imagine sir. This is way I appreciate YOU taking the photos as opposed to me. Great work.

Born in Stratford, Ontario, Justin Bieber is a multi-talented singer, and a self-taught musician on drums, guitar, piano and trumpet. Justin’s debut album contained his first four Top 40 hits on the Hot 100, “One Time”, “One Less Lonely Girl”, “Love Me”, and “Favorite Girl”. He is the first solo artist in history to send four songs from a debut album into the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 prior to the album’s release.

Closing out the memorial day weekend festivities at Surrender Nightclub were hit-makers LMFAO and their Party Rock crew, who performed a 30-minute set close to 2 a.m. At the start of their performance Paris Hilton returned to Surrender Nightclub and jumped onto the stage to dance and sing along to the group’s song “I’m In Miami Bitch,” which was altered for their Vegas location. The group played two more songs then dedicated their “I Am Not A Whore,” song to the ladies, who Paris referred to on the mic as “Hungry Tigers.”

Following the tune, LMFAO said they wouldn’t be where they are today if it wasn’t for Hilton, who they credited with playing “I’m In Miami Bitch” first. Paris got on the microphone and said she grew up with the guys and that they were “rocking it at the new club Surrender.” The group then segued into the song “Shots,” which prompted Hilton to down a shot on the stage and continue to jump and dance with the group.

Friday night Mark Ballas, who turned 24 last week, celebrated at TAO. The two time Dancing With The Stars champion started the night with dinner at TAO Asian Bistro with a group of friends that included Ashley Roberts – an original Pussycat Doll. They sipped Orange Dragon specialty cocktails while dining on Pot Stickers, Lobster Wontons and Sausage Fried Rice.
