Fergie may draw in celebutantes

It's just a matter of time: The trouble-prone celebutante trio of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan may be heading to Las Vegas this weekend.

The reason? Saturday's concert by Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas is reportedly drawing a big Hollywood crowd for the event at The Pearl, the Palms new music venue.

It's no secret that Spears and Hilton are big fans. And now that Lohan is legal, the expectation is that she'll be regularly checking out the local concert scene.

Spears, who spent a month in rehab this winter, hasn't partied in Las Vegas since her New Year's Eve stumble at Pure Nightclub at Caesars Palace.

Hilton hasn't returned to Las Vegas since her 23-day Los Angeles jail stay for violating probation in an alcohol-related driving incident.

Spears is hosting the Aug. 31 grand opening of Pure Management Group's LAX Nightclub at the Luxor.

ON THE TOWN

Multiple sightings of Kiefer Sutherland, star of the TV hit "24," with Nevada dominatrix Mistress Lee at the Hard Rock Hotel are causing a stir.

They were spotted at numerous locations in the Hard Rock, including outside a third-floor suite where a swingers convention was raging.

Mistress Lee, whose real name is Leola McConnell, ran for governor of Nevada last year.

But she's better known for an alleged link to former Secretary of Education William Bennett, who wrote "The Book of Virtues: A Treasury of Great Moral Stories" in the early 1990s.

That was before he acknowledged he was a big-time gambler who spent a lot of time in Las Vegas.

Sutherland was reportedly in town for the annual Bad Boys of Hockey weekend organized by Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

THE SCENE AND HEARD

When the Las Vegas-based band The Killers checked into the Hilton at Copenhagen Airport earlier this month, they used the following aliases: Gunner Lovejoy, Will Riker, Jelly Roll Morton and Bat Masterson. We're not privy to who uses what alias but we know Morton was a jazz icon, a Will Riker was a "Star Trek" No. 1, and Masterson was an Old West gunfighter. ...

Some tourists from Kansas got their money's worth during a breakfast Saturday at The Stage Deli at Caesars Palace. Just as they were finishing the "Pete Rose" special -- a cholesterol colossus of eggs, French toast, sausage, ham and bacon -- Rose walked in and sat down at a table next to them. "What a menu" exclaimed one of the shocked Kansans. "You order the 'Pete Rose' and he actually sits with you!" A Fox Sports camera crew was following Rose around most of the day for a one-hour piece that focuses on his 15-day-a-month autograph gig at Field of Dreams in Caesars' Forum Shops. ...
