VMA weekend in Vegas

VMA weekend never disappoints so you know WWE's Chick Magnet had to be there for the festivities. I arrived on Friday around 1:30PM knowing I had to leave Saturday around 1:30AM for Sunday's taping of ECW I knew I had a lot to do in little time. Yes, I was leaving the day of the VMA's and you may ask yourself isn't that the best day to be there. The answer...NOPE. My favorite part of the VMA's isn't the show it's the weekend because you can go to gifting suites and get all kinds of free stuff. I'm not talking about a free T-shirt or two I'm talking $300 True Religion Jeans, awesome shoes, designer clothes, speakers, $500 gift certificates from .com companies. It's insane. Then the parties are nuts and since it was in Vegas this year they were 5 parties a night that we wanted to hit.

As soon as I arrived I started off at Tao Beach's gifting suite which my big gift was a dentist wanted to put Vaneers on me. That's like a $5000 gift. I'm still debating whether I want to do it or not because I grind my teeth really bad and am not sure how that will affect me. The next place we went to was Caesar's where I was meeting up with Josh Henderson (desperate Housewives), Brody Jenner (the Hills), Ryan Cabrera (singer, songwriter), and about 10 of my friends. It's always more fun when your hanging with good peps getting free stuff and partying. Any way at Caesar's they were pouring stuff at me anything you can think of from lotions that I will never use to underwear that I probably will use to bad ass speakers to free tickets to the Blue Man Group. It was insane I had 3 girls carrying all my bags. I kind of felt sorry for them because the bags were bulky and heavy and I wasn't carrying anything. However, I am a chick magnet and it was quite fun watching them follow me and as soon as I'd get another bag them smiling and saying can I carry that one to. Oh did I mention they were hot and wearing bikinis. Yeah, talk about feeling like a pimp.

I took all my stuff back to our suite and the night began. First, we hit Tao to see Linkin Park perform . However, we left before they went on because my friend, Ricky, had to go to the Ludacris party. we definately stood out at the Luda party. My favorite part of this place was signing Ludacris's card 'Happy 30th brotha, Keep it real!!!' Then Gabrielle Union came up to me and asked how I've been and kissed me on the cheek and we never met before. We said hello and happy bday to Luda and went to the pre VMA party at The Palms which was terrible. We walked in and out. Pure was next and this has to be my favrite place. We walked right in even though there was a huge line. We were meeting up with all our friends who had a table so the VIP host was showing us where they were. He brought us to the main stage and said they were up there that we were all good and we'd find them. So we walked up and as soon as I got in some guy goes "hey who are you with?" I drunkenly said "Everybody and nobody" and walked on. Then some guy put his arm out and said where are you going? I said to the other side to find my table and walked on by. As soon as I stepped by I realized I was walking right behind P. Diddy while he was on the mic pumping up the crowd. A security guard came up behind me and said follow me to your table. I said sweet because I can't find it anywhere. He said there was a secret way to get in and we had to go outside to get to it. I was like okay. As we walked outside he said hold out your hand so I can stamp you guys. He stamped something like rejected or terminated meaning we were getting kicked out of the club then closed the door. The three of us stood there dumbfounded. That was the first time we actually didn't do anything wrong and got kicked out and had no idea what for. We walked right back up to the front and went to the VIP host which the security told him we got kicked out. He let us back in and took us to our table which was at the side stage not the main stage. The ViP host apologized because he took us to the main stage and I guess the guy that I walked past when he said don't go that way was one of Diddy's managers or something and told them to kick us out. We got back in and partied it up. So much fun because we had a free table and about 10 of my friends so we were all good. We left around 3AM saw Britney leaving the same time as us. Something happened to where I was mouthing off to one of the guys who was walking her to the car. I can't remember exactly what happened all I know is I was sticking up for one of my friends as I was yelling my friends were like wrong guy to talk like that to. I'm like I don't care (with a few curse's here and there). Then they are like that guy run's Vegas he basically gave us that table tonight and the table at LAX. Boy did I feel like an ass. Yep, guess I had a little too much to drink. Luckily, we solved everything at LAX and partied all night then went to some underground club in LAX till like 6AM. Yeah that's Vegas for ya.

I woke up at 11AM to my phone ringing off the hook. My car service was there to pick me up for the 40th Anniversary Rolling Stone Mag. Poker Tournament at the Hard Rock. With a huge hangover I grabbed my ipod and goggles put on clothes and ran out the door. You may be asking why an ipod and goggles. Well, if you watch poker all the pros have an ipod and sunglasses so I decided since I suck half the time that I may as well look like I know what I'm doing. After taking pictures on the red carpet which I was a tool and wore sunglasses on it because well I was hungover. This was my first no limit poker game so I was learning as I was playing. I started off really bad but caught some breaks. I wanted that moment that you always see on espn. The one where the guy goes all in and someone calls they flip their cards and it's basically even then as they are standing up walking back and forth one of the guy's hit his card on the river to win. Well that happened. I almost had a straight with 3 cards down so I went all in hoping to scare everyone. That didn't work so we were going head to head. I needed a 9 or a king to win as we were standing cameras flickering everyone watching from other tables. I hit a king and doubled up my money. It was a pretty cool moment. That moment didn't last because I couldn't get any cards and I didn't have enough to bluff people and the blinds were getting out of control. I ended up making it to the final four tables beating John Salley, Joe Simpson, Ryan Cabrera, and Josh Henderson. I think it was the intimidating goggles and ipod that made me last that long. MY last hand was a 10/ Ace and my competitor had 8/ king and he hit his king on the river to take me out. All well I went up to the gifting suite and got some bad ass jeans and sunglasses so that made up for it.

We had a cabana for the 50 cent concert at hard rock that night. I could only stay for a bit because I had to catch a plane. The concert was pretty funny because the stage was right next to the pool and during the concert the stage started falling into the pool and 50 came out telling peps to get out of the pool but nobody moved they were too excited for 50 being onstage. The concert ended and nobody was hurt but how many times can you say a stage fell into a pool. I saw Paris Hilton on the way out and said hi. I'm starting to feel like I will go out of my way to say hi to her but she won't do the same so now I'm going to test my theory and I will let you know how it goes. Next time I see her I will see if she comes to say hi to me. Time will tell.

My friends stayed in Vegas on Sunday and told me I didn't miss anything too special. Hell, I'd rather be performing in front of an ECW crowd then sitting picking my nose through the VMA's. All in all I love Vegas I can only be there for a day anything longer I might loose too many brain cells. Plus there's only one of me and too many beautiful women yep chicks dig me and their men....fear me. Hoo RAH!!!
