Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler are together again.

Elvis would be proud. Sahara headliner and Elvis Presley stylist Trent Carlini created some electricity of his own after a series of power outages during his show Tuesday night.

After the third outage, Carlini decided to continue the show by improvising.

Two soundmen stood on the stage stairs and used flashlights to spotlight Carlini.

With band members and singers gathered around, Carlini finished his set with six songs, including the finale "My Way," to a standing ovation.

PUPPY LOVE

There's plenty of puppy love in the air at the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood.

Seems seven members of the cast and crew of a film being shot there, including two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey and several producers, brought their dogs to Las Vegas for their monthlong film shoot.

The movie, tentatively called "21," is based on a true story of a team of card-counting MIT students who win millions in Las Vegas.

Spacey has been spotted in the casino with his mixed mutt, Mini.

Spacey, who portrayed Vegas headliner Bobby Darin in "Beyond the Sea," told me he may be checking out Pamplemousse, the classic old Vegas restaurant on East Sahara, long owned by Darin pal George LaForge. The former maitre d' of the Monte Carlo room at the top of the Desert Inn opened Pamplemousse on June 22, 1976, in honor of Darin, who suggested the name, French for grapefruit.

Darin, who died Dec . 20, 1973, is being honored with a star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars in May, on what would have been his 71st birthday.
