Dancing, singing, disrobing — the Stars are on the Strip

If you're looking for Tuesday's winner of "Dancing With the Stars," champ Donny Osmond and sister Marie (she placed third on "Dancing" in 2007) are indeed playing their usual Flamingo gigs tonight and Saturday night.

Tickets aren't cheap: $103-$135.

Vegas has "Dancing" alum all over the Strip, singing, dancing -- or disrobing.

Holly Madison, who aspires to be the new queen of Las Vegas (she was on "Dancing" in March), prances topless in a G-string in "Peepshow" at Planet Hollywood, along with her new breast friend Aubrey O'Day, tonight-Monday ($72-$110).

Wayne Newton, who did "Dancing" in 2007, uses his vocal cords at the Tropicana tonight-Saturday ($92-$114).

And Penn Jillette, who twirled on "Dancing" in 2008, does the talking in Penn & Teller Saturday-Wednesday ($86-$97).

How good are those shows? Review-Journal critic Mike Weatherford has decreed grades of A- to Penn & Teller, B to Donny and Marie and "Peepshow," and C+ to Wayne Newton.

CROWES SETTLE LAWSUIT

Rich Robinson, guitarist and songwriter for the Black Crowes, tells me his band has settled a lawsuit against country singer Gretchen Wilson after accusing her of lifting one of the Crowes' biggest hits.

Check out my interview with Robinson in the back of today's Neon section, where he says:

"Not only was it the same chord structure, the same melody, and a very general theme, but it also seemed like they lifted my guitar tone."

The Crowes play the House of Blues on Sunday ($41-$46).
