Unfortunately, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. Last night MTV took over the Strip and filled it with up and comers, the standard rock, rollers and rappers and of course...the token has beens.

Elsewhere in the ist-a-verse
Texas is thawing, the Northeast is freezing, and a sort of natural order seems almost restored to the Ist-A-Verse. Almost.
The Cinecultist's Weekly Movie Picks: Don't Answer That Phone Edition
With the Oscar nominations announced this week, you can expect much of the box office traffic to be people trying to cross films off of their list that they are just now realizing are "important." However, the new releases keep a coming and the New York repertory houses are programming away, so there's loads of good flicks to check out this weekend.
Weekend Movies: An ape and a blonde thought they'd go ice skating when ...
The obvious 800-pound, 2000-pound or even 20-ton gorilla in the room is anyway. Just brave the crowds and get it over with already.
Fred Durst Sues Internets, Including Gawker
The sound we all heard yesterday was a million bloggers laughing, when it was revealed that Fred Durst had filed an $80 million lawsuit against a variety of entities, including ol' Gawker Media, for posting his unimpressive sex video online. Clearly, since the likelihood of Durst getting any substantial amount of money is doubtful, Gothamist started to think about how this could be settled:
Halloween-ish Movies
(available to rent on DVD via Netflix, no less), most people prefer that sensation of wanting to hide behind their seat in the movie theater at the end of October.
Big Idea of the Week
In a collective brain fart (jinx!), The New York Times and Newsweek both revisit the curse of the Blair Witch Project: How none of the parties associated with the successful indie film have converted that into even more success and fame and power. The Blair Witch Project, a movie one hit wonder. This will be filed alongside the "Oscar curse" (you win an Oscar, then your next film is crappy; examples include F. Murray Abraham, Elizabeth Shue Mira Sorvino, Tommy Lee Jones) and "box office poison" (Jeff Bridges even though he's likable and a sympathetic actor; Penelope Ann Miller, although that could also be called "Remember not to tell everyone you slept with Al Pacino or else you'll be blacklisted").

Republican Convention Preview
The GOP also made sure to compliment and praise the city of New York, after the embarrassing effort from Tom DeLay to have all GOPers sequestered away on a boat. But don't worry, everyone, Gothamist is sure there will be more than enough embarrassment to pass around when they come to town.
Cate Blanchett, Sonic Youth Fan
We thought Cate Blanchett was cool ever since we became fans of hers after Oscar and Lucinda, but she even manages to remain interesting while talking to Fox News' Roger Friedman, the pandering gossip columnist. After the premiere for her new film, The Missing (in frontier America, she teams up with estranged father, played by Tommy Lee Jones, to rescue her daughter), Blanchett tells him, "I didn't know how to shoot a gun or hold it. So my husband said, 'Just hold it the way that Sonic Youth holds their guitars.' And it worked." Her husband is cool, too.
Paris: Loving the Bad Girl Sex
The DN also points out other celebrities whose sexcapades were taped: Rob Lowe, the Go-Go's, Pamela and Tommy Lee (then Pamela & Bret Michaels, then Vince Neil & someone), and R. Kelly (ew). And Savage helpfully points out the bright side for Paris: "At least now she's famous for doing something." Daily News' Lenore Skenazy on how Paris Hilton is just like Zsa Zsa: "The Gabors got there and stayed for decades. Paris is only 22. Get comfy."
The Dirt
News from Page Six that porn star Jenna Jameson was having her autobiography ghostwritten by NY Times rock critic Neil Strauss instantly made it a must-read for Gothamist whenever it does come out. Yes, it should be a wild and crazy book about being the hottest porn star today, but more importantly, Neil Strauss is ghostwriting it. Strauss' last contribution to pop culture memoirs was with the one of the best books about living the rock and roll life, The Dirt, the autobiography of Motley Crue. Sure, Tommy Lee was married to Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson, but the book starts out with Tommy dating a girl the other band members called Moose because she was so ugly. Read a few pages to understand why. It's also one of Gothamist's standby "don't need to overthink because it'll be liked" last-minute gift books, alongside Kitchen Confidential.
