La Toya, Jackie tell of family gig

La Toya and Jackie Jackson let the cat out of the bag during their red carpet appearance at Saturday's grand opening of Palms Place Hotel & Spa.

During an interview with the syndicated TV show "Extra," Jackie Jackson told Tanika Ray "we're putting something together with the whole family. It's coming soon."

Including Janet? Ray asked.

"Everybody," La Toya said.

Her brother added that family members have been in a recording studio working on a new CD.

"It's going to happen," said La Toya, who hedged when she was asked whether Las Vegas was involved. "I don't know about here in Vegas," she said.

However, La Toya was spotted Monday at Ago restaurant at the Hard Rock Hotel with Harrah's President Don Marrandino and KVBC-TV, Channel 3, entertainment reporter Alicia Jacobs.

STUD FARM: APPLY HERE

Heidi Fleiss has been besieged by e-mail requests from women inquiring when Heidi's Stud Farm will open and from men wanting to stud there.

The former Hollywood madam showed hundreds of messages, all new, to Review-Journal Fear and Loafing columnist Corey Levitan, whom she employed for the day as an attendant at Dirty Laundry, her Pahrump Laundromat.

"I would love to be a gigolo," read an e-mail from an Antonio in Italy.

"It doesn't matter whether a woman looks like Miss America or Miss Piggy," pleaded a man named Chris.

Fleiss read only the e-mails from men that included a photo, clicking on them to decide whether they're good-looking enough.

"I'll know exactly which ones to hire," she said. "I'll know what it takes."

Fleiss said she pays a woman in New York to regularly sift through the electronic deluge.

"If I had to do this all day, I'd hang myself," she said.

Fleiss is waiting for the political corruption case against Nye County brothel owner Maynard "Joe" Richards to go to trial in October before applying for her license from the Nye County Liquor and Licensing Board. (She may serve as a witness.)

"If you asked me, I would like to be open now," she said. "Why not?"

Meantime, "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" begins taping Monday at the Pasadena Recovery Center with Fleiss and Rodney King among the paid "rehabitants."

HOLD THE APPLAUSE

Kevin Federline returns Friday to host the evening at Privé nightclub, which is honoring him as Father of the Year.

Maybe we missed the epiphany. During a March hosting appearance at Pure, he was loudly booed and had the mic ripped away from him during a profanity-laden rap song while celebrating his 30th birthday.

So maybe we can work in some match-making magic here: Dina Lohan, mom to Hollywood train wreck Lindsay Lohan, was recently named Mother of the Year by a Long Island, N.Y., social networking organization named Mingling Moms.
