Future & Snoop Promoter Stiffed Us, So We Bailed ... What ISIS 'Threat'??
Snoop Dogg, Future, Flo Rida and other big artists were MIA from a Super Bowl party gig, and the promoter tried to blame ISIS -- but the real problem was $$$$.
The Saturday night party in Houston, slugged "Super Bash," was also supposed to feature Nick Cannon and Floyd Mayweather -- but none of them were there. The promoter, whose ticket packages ran from $75 to $5,000 each, said the party was celeb-free due to a bomb threat a few blocks away.
Sources connected to the venue tell us the promoter simply didn't come up with enough scratch to pay the celebs and vendors for the event. Other sources -- close to Snoop, Future and Flo Rida -- tell us they never inked a deal because they never got paid, so they never planned to attend.
There really was a bomb threat, but we're told it played no part in the no-shows.
Floyd did promote the party on social media, but bailed as well. His camp hasn't gotten back to us on whether he got paid.
At least in this case ... ISIS is off the hook.

Scott Disick Dropped RACKS for Miami Getaway
Scott Disick treated himself like the lord he is when he escaped from the Kardashians ... by dropping tens of thousands to chill for a few nights.
Scott was hanging at the Setai Hotel in Miami Sunday through Tuesday night, and we've learned he stayed in their Grand Suite. The name makes sense -- it has 3 bedrooms, spa/sauna, gourmet kitchen and a swagged out TV room ... plus killer ocean views. Before ya book, it goes for $12,500 per night.
We're told he ordered plenty of room service while partying with his many lady friends and one guy friend you probably know -- Don Julio. 1942 to be exact.
As we reported, Scott beelined it for South Beach after a blowout with Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian in Costa Rica. The Lord spares no expense when bouncing back.

Backstreet Boys & 'NSYNC McLean & Fatone Duet for 40th Bday ... What Rivalry??!!
If A.J. McLean and Joey Fatone can wave the boy band white flag and come together onstage ... then maybe there's hope for America too.
The awesome duet went down Saturday night during Joey's 40th birthday bash at Ora nightclub in Miami. The former pop rivals decided to serenade the crowd with the Backstreet Boys hit, "I Want It That Way."
You'd think they'd do an 'NSYNC tune ... it was Joey's night after all, but the crowd ate it up, anyway.
If BsB ever needs a fill-in baritone, holla at Fatone! He's available.

Mike Vick Hosting 'Official Retirement Party'
It's officially over for Mike Vick ... and the NFL star is going out with a massive party.
The 36-year-old quarterback is set to host his "official retirement party" at Grooves of Houston nightclub during Super Bowl weekend, a rep for Headliner Market Group tells TMZ Sports.
Vick will cohost the party with Gucci Mane.
Vick had a pretty stellar NFL career since entering the league in 2001 when the ATL Falcons took him with the #1 overall pick. He also played for the Eagles, Jets and Steelers.
He was a 4-time Pro Bowler ... and became the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2010 after missing two seasons while he was prison doing time for his role in a dog fighting ring.
Just last week, Vick did a radio interview and said he could still play in the NFL and considered himself better than any backup QB in the league.

The two hit up LIV on Sunday where they partied their faces off with the likes of Migos -- and Von's Broncos teammates, Bradley Roby and Shane Ray.
Unfortunately, Odell's boat party passengers, Victor Cruz and Trey Songz, were M.I.A. in MIA this time around.

Drake Super Bowl Host With Most Half Naked Chicks!
Drake's Super Bowl weekend will be filled with hot women, scantily dressed and ready to party -- but don't even think about calling them strippers.
Drizzy and Jas Prince -- the Houston native who discovered him -- are hosting a pop-up event called "The Ballet." It kicks off Thursday, February 2nd and runs through Super Bowl Sunday at Mercy Night club in Houston.
The event's headlined by HUGE stars each night -- Migos, Jeezy, Odell Beckham Jr., Gucci Mane, DJ Khaled and Lil Wayne are just a few of them.
But let's be real ... the featured attraction's definitely the girls flying in from all over the country to work the party. We're told the dancers will be dressed provocatively but those skimpy outfits are NOT coming off.
There's a final casting call Tuesday, and they're on the look out for voluptuous candidates. It's just the way Drake likes his strippers dancers.
Normies can get in for $40, but they also have 21 VIP sections ... if you have up to $10k.

Liam Payne Close Call at Club ... Shots Fired
Liam Payne dodged a bullet this weekend when shots rang out at a club popular among celebs.
Liam was at The Peppermint Club in WeHo Saturday night when a guy showed up and tried to get in with a fake ID. He got into it with security, made his way to the parking lot and fired shots in the air just outside the club. The guy escaped and is still on the loose.
We're told clubgoers inside heard the shots and freaked out. They stayed put and began tweeting like crazy. One woman tweeted, "Shooting @ the peppermint club. I'm f***ing shaking right now."
Cops found multiple shell casings when they arrived. As for Liam, we're told he left about half an hour after the shots rang out. Probably not his best night ever.
