Vegas gets ready for the big squeal

Hannah Montana mania is coming to town.

The hottest ticket in show business goes on sale at noon Saturday for Disney superstar Miley Cyrus, who plays Hannah Montana. She'll be at the MGM Grand for two shows, Jan. 18-19, according to a report by KVBC-TV, Channel 3, entertainment reporter Alicia Jacobs.

Miley is the 15-year-old daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, who had a No. 1 hit in "Achy Breaky Heart" in 1992.

Jacobs also reported that Donald Trump's Miss USA Pageant will be at Planet Hollywood Resort on April 11 and will be broadcast live.

The resort also is hosting the Miss America Pageant for the third year in a row, on Jan. 26.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION

Pamela Anderson and new husband Rick Salomon are developing a reality show of their lives for E! Network, according to Us Weekly.

Anderson and Salomon, who both made headlines for infamous sex videos with other partners, were married in Las Vegas on Oct. 6.

Anderson just finished a six-month run at Planet Hollywood Resort as a magician's assistant in Hans Klok's "The Beauty of Magic."

Jacobs reported late Wednesday that Anderson will stay at the property and will star in an erotic show that'll replace the "Stomp" show.

"Definitely not a done deal," I'm told.

THE SCENE AND HEARD

Showman Jeff Beacher said he's shifting "Beacher's Madhouse" to a touring mode because the demand "has been amazing." He's booking clubs around the country, and "it's a home run for us and for the venues." His three-year relationship with the Hard Rock Hotel will continue, he said, with occasional shows. "I love the Hard Rock. It's what made me who I am today, it's the best place for talent to work, but the demand for my show around the country has been amazing."
