Hugh Hefner Celebration of Life Set for Mansion ... Scalpers Jack Up Prices
The final Playboy Mansion bash honoring Hugh Hefner is going down this weekend, and although it's supposed to be invitation-only -- there's a way you can get in ... but for a VERY hefty price.
The event's been labeled a celebration of life, and it's set for Sunday from 10am to 2pm. Remember, Sunday Funday was always a big tradition for Hef back in his partying days, so it's a fitting send off.
Leave it to ticket scalpers to key in on that ... because tickets have started popping up online. The highest price we found was $3500 a pop. No word on who got real deal invitations, but we're told it's supposed to be mostly close friends and family. Plus whoever throws down thousands on the black market.
As we reported, Pabst heir Daren Metropoulos bought the Mansion -- and is planning some major renovations and add-ons -- so this might be the last party there in its current configuration.
Hef was 91 when he died in September, but a Playboy party is forever.

Rob Kardashian was with Dream Friday morning to celebrate bday #1. Aunties Kim, Khloe and Kylie were also there, along with cousins North and Penelope.
It's the first time we've seen Rob in a while -- he's been keeping a low profile since that social media meltdown when he posted nude pics of Blac Chyna.
Speaking of Chyna ... there's no sign of her at Dream's party, but that's not a big surprise since she recently sued the whole Kardashian fam.
Happy birthday, Dream!!!

Celine Dion EDM Dancing Superstar!!! Thanks to Steve Aoki
Here's Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On" one more time, but this time it's got a sick beat that got Celine up and dancing like you've never seen before.
The beat is courtesy of Steve Aoki, who joined Celine onstage for a Las Vegas benefit show Tuesday night at Omnia Nightclub. The 2 Vegas legends teamed up for this awesome performance -- Celine singing her "Titanic" hit, and Steve tacking on a remix you really gotta see.
Somebody hand Celine some glow sticks!
Seriously though, it was all for a great cause. The event raised $1 million for the Las Vegas Victims' Fund ... and also featured Kaskade, Lil Jon, Tiesto and Zedd.
But none of them had CD's ummm ... unique dance moves.

John Salley to Lamar Odom: Stay Out of the Damn Nightclubs!
Lamar Odom + nightclubs = danger ... so says John Salley.
Salley says it's simple math ... Odom struggles with substance abuse and the club scene is one of the WORST places for him to be.
Clearly, Salley isn't buying Odom's excuse that "dehydration" caused him to collapse at a Hollywood nightclub on Sunday morning.
So what should Lamar do? Get new friends that support a healthier lifestyle ... and STAY OUT OF THE DAMN NIGHTCLUBS!
Salley says he's ready, willing and able to help Odom clean himself up ... all he has to do is call.

Diddy/Brother Love & Cassie Celebrating Mi Cumpleaños en Mexico!!!
Sean Combs, aka Brother Love -- and formerly known as Puff Daddy, Puffy, P. Diddy, Diddy, etc -- is making a splash in Mexico for his 48th birthday.
Diddy LOVE is celebrating with his gf, Cassie. They're staying at Joe Francis' house in Punta Mita, and while they're obviously having a great time ... gotta wonder what the hell Cassie is calling him.
Sean made a big splash over the weekend when he decided to go with his 417th name change. By any name ... he's clearly indulging in all riches can buy.
Plus, we're guessing Diddy LOVE turns around no matter what Cassie calls him ... when she's wearing that bikini.

Chris Brown My Heartbreak On A Cake Cost $1,000
Chris Brown's cake was made of dough ... and a lot of it.
Brown threw a record release party for his new album, "Heartbreak On A Full Moon," on Halloween at Universal Studios and the centerpiece was an incredible recreation of the cover art made by Sweet Stacks Cakery. Price tag: $1,000.
Sweet Stacks owner Dejenia tells us Brown's crew reached out to her via direct message on Instagram 24 hours before the party and she spent the next 22 hours crafting it.
The finished product was entirely edible ... the bleeding heart was molded out of rice crispy treats and the rest of the cake was filled with chocolate and vanilla buttercream and crumbled Oreos.
Dejana says Brown gave her the final approval and threw in a bonus ... she got to kick it at the party, too! Guess you can have your cake and eat it, too.

Kendall Jenner celebrated her 22nd birthday Thursday night, surrounded by friends and family with notable exceptions ... sisters Khloe and Kylie.
Both sisters are pregnant, so it's understandable why they skipped out on dinner at Petite Taqueria in WeHo. Kylie especially has been keeping an unusually low profile.
There was still a strong showing ... Kim, Kanye, Kris, Kourtney and her bf Younes Bendjima, Hailey Baldwin and Caitlyn were all there.
Kendall's bf Blake Griffin also showed, so things must be heatin' up.
