Hot Vegas

French Montana might soon be able to add "party planner" to his resume ... the rapper threw a big time shin-dig for Jennifer Lopez in Vegas.

It all went down Friday night at the Paris Hotel. Montana shut down Martorano's Restaurant for the event. It was all to celebrate J. Lo's opening weekend of her stint at Planet Hollywood.

We're told there was plenty of food, booze and good times to be had by all.

The singer has another nearly sold out performance Saturday night.

Opening night of Jennifer Lopez's "All I Have" Las Vegas show was packed with A-list celebs who got up on their feet to worship the booty ... and dance.

Seriously, it could've been a Hollywood award show -- Justin Bieber, Scooter Braun, Ryan Seacrest, Rebel Wilson, T.I., Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kelly Osbourne, Hoda Kotb, Derek Hough, Nicole Scherzinger and many, many more.

Her "Shades of Blue" co-star Ray Liotta was also there ... and BFF Leah Remini took in her second performance. And onstage, she had Ja Rule, Ne-Yo and Pitbull performing.

She gave 'em what they came for too -- singing, dancing, and yeah ... lots of booty shaking.

Lakeisha Holloway, the woman who plowed through the Las Vegas Strip in her car killing one and injuring 35, just got slapped with 71 charges for the crash.

Holloway's charges include one count of murder with a deadly weapon ... 30 counts of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, and 4 counts of attempted murder with a deadly weapon where the victim was 60 or older.

The 24-year-old also got slapped with 2 counts of child abuse because an 11-year-old was struck by the car and Holloway's own 3-year-old daughter was in her backseat.

According to the D.A. Holloway's facing more than 1,000 years in prison, if convicted on all charges.

Holloway claims she was sober at the time of the crash, but exhausted from lack of sleep. Tests later found marijuana in her system.

J. Lo launched her Las Vegas residency with a preview show for family and friends that went off without a single hitch.

Jennifer ran through her "All I Have" show at Planet Hollywood Monday night, and even though the front row was loaded with familiar faces -- like BFF Leah Remini, her mom and kids -- she nailed the routine.

Video from the VIP gig shows J. Lo hitting her marks (like a Fly Girl should) -- and, apparently, really singing instead of lip syncing.

Jen's performing on Britney Spears' off days in the same theater, and shows for the public begin Wednesday night.

DJ Paul's either not feeling the Oscar snub much of Hollywood is feeling or he just has a funny way of showing it.

The Three 6 Mafia rapper helped son Nautica ring in his 20th birthday -- which also happened to be Paul's big day -- in Vegas over the weekend. Judging from the 12:1 ratio on the dance floor ... his son had a great time.

We're told the father-son bash began with a screening of 'Star Wars' before they hit the club at D Casino for an EDM show. He got Nautica a 'Star Wars' cake and an Oscar themed cake for himself.

It's hard out there for a pimp ... but not for DJ Paul and his son.

Khloe Kardashian is stranded in Las Vegas after her cross country flight had to make an emergency landing.

Khloe was on board American Airlines flight 256, LAX to NYC, and shortly after take off the pilots reported an electrical smell in the cockpit. They quickly diverted to Las Vegas where they touched down around 3:30 PM.

Everyone on the flight is okay, but Khloe's left with a uniquely celebrity problem -- she's in Vegas without ... security! Our sources say Khloe had to bolt for the first class lounge to avoid getting swarmed in the airport.

We're told she's waiting to be rebooked on a new flight so she can get NY in time for a 'GMA' appearance in the morning.

Governor Paul LePage from Maine may worry that black men are coming to his state to commit crimes and impregnate white women, but someone he named has come forward to provide help ... and a fabulous weekend in VEGAS YO!!!

As you know, LePage went off the rails this week, saying, "These guys with the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty ... these types of guys, they come from Connecticut and New York, they come up here, they sell their heroin, they go back home."

Darren Blatt -- a famous party promoter who goes by the name D-Money, has fired off a letter, obtained by TMZ, in which he tries to educate LePage.

The real D-Money offers up his vast credentials, and then says "I am not some 'hooligan' looking to come to the state of Maine to sell drugs and get a bunch of your resident women pregnant."

D-Money -- who's white -- then extends an olive branch, inviting the Gov to a big Vegas party with some huge artists, including Tha Dogg Pound and E-40 ... no doubt LePage's favs.

No word on whether the good Governor will bite.

Screw buying a house for your mom if you win the $500 million Powerball jackpot ... one dude is gunning for pure hedonism ... coke and whores.

Fox 5 in Vegas was live in Primm, Nevada as people with dollar signs in their eyes bought tickets. You gotta see this dude.

Charlotte McKinney ... 2 reasons you blew it by not being in Las Vegas Wednesday night.

The model and "Dancing with the Stars" alum broke necks with a grand opening ... of the Encore Players club at the Wynn.

She's come a long way since busting on the scene in that Carl's Jr. ad -- but not too far. Thankfully.

There's nothing more beautiful than a bride on her wedding day ... but that might not be the case when the bride is punk legend Fat Mike.

The lead singer of NOFX and his now wife, Soma Snakeoil, eloped during a secret Vegas wedding on New Year's Eve ... TMZ has learned.

The unconventional couple decided to exchange vows as the opposite genders when they planned the wedding -- which we're told was only a week before the ceremony.

Sources close to the couple tell us Matt Skiba from Blink 182 and Alkaline Trio was Mike's best man and "bridesman." The guest list was only 8 people and the dress code was lots of black and even more leather.

Soma and Fatty were engaged for over a year and have lived together for 6 years. We're told they wrote their own vows and Mike promised to be her "10,000 night stand."

Johnny Manziel made a booze run outside Cleveland Monday evening, but his purchases sounded less like a frat boy rager and more like a rom com night at home.

Britney Spears turned over a new leaf for the New Year ... she had plenty of time to do so because she was stuck to a tree.

Britney was performing her show Saturday night at Planet Hollywood when her harness -- which is supposed to send her soaring over the crowd -- failed, leaving her stranded atop a tree.

Watch the video as a tech sneaks behind her to unhook the contraption.

This isn't Brit's first mishap at her Las Vegas show. A while back her body-suit came undone.

Lakeisha Holloway -- the woman who plowed into 37 people on the Las Vegas strip -- was high on weed.

Holloway's test showed the active marijuana in her blood was 3.5 ng/mL and the metabolite was 23.6 ng/mL. Translation ... it impaired her on a low level, but impaired her nonetheless.

Holloway later told cops she was sober at the time of the crash ... but just really tired.

Holloway stands charged with one count of murder.

Lakeisha Holloway -- the woman who mowed down several dozen people in Vegas, killing one -- looked worse for wear during Wednesday's Vegas court appearance.

Holloway looked zombie-like as her lawyer decided to wait before entering a plea to murder and other charges.

There was buzz her lawyer might ask for a competency hearing, but that didn't happen today.

The woman who mowed down dozens of people has been in financial free fall for 2 years.

Lakeisha Holloway has not had a reliable place to live since January 2014 since she was evicted from her apartment in Washington state. TMZ obtained legal docs showing she was behind on rent and utilities and a judge ordered her out.

Family members tell TMZ they opened their homes to Lakeisha from time to time in the last 2 years, but she never had a permanent place to live.

Lakeisha has lived a nomadic life ... we're told she had just been in Texas to visit her 3-year-old daughter's baby daddy and told her family she was going through Vegas on her way back to Oregon to see if there were work opportunities.

As we reported, she told police she was not able to get a decent night's sleep in Vegas during the week preceding the crash, because she was sleeping in her car and kept getting kicked off hotel property.

Video shot seconds after Lakeisha Holloway mowed down several dozen people on the Vegas strip shows the chaos on the street.

The video -- shot on a cellphone -- shows the injured laying on the street and sidewalk. You see people scrambling to provide help, before paramedics arrived.
