There is a Las Vegas crook with an obvious death wish. Mike Tyson was staying at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Saturday night with his family, when they were woken to a surprise.

During the night while Mike was fast asleep in his PJs, a crook broke into his hotel room. Mike was awoken by some noise and a flashlight, but the intruder ran out of the room before Mike fully woke up.

Lucky for the intruder because Mike probably would have broken the guy’s face into a million pieces.

A rep for the hotel tells TMZ, “We have received a report of an incident that is currently under investigation. As always, guest safety is of the utmost importance.”

Yet another example why America needs better gun control laws. Have you ever seen the show Repo Games on Spike?

It’s actually a fairly funny show that follows a repossession crew as they take back cars with outstanding loans. However, if the debtors are able to answer 3 of 5 trivia questions correctly, they can keep their car, and the show will pay off the car loan. Seems like a pretty sweet deal.

Well a Las Vegas man must have been jealous he wasn’t on the show, because he actually started shooting at the Repo crew during filming. The man, Carlos Barron, thought the production was too close to his house. His neighbors were contestants on the show.

TMZ has obtained video of the incident, and Barron can be heard threatening production members …saying, “I’ll blow your ass away man … I will kill your ass.”

As the cameras rolled, one crew member instructs a cameraman, “Tape motherf**ker … this is real, real sh*t … that’s what Anderson Cooper does, b*tch.”

It’s pretty amazing video. And we guess there is no question now that Repo Games isn’t staged.

Shania Twain is taking up residency in Las Vegas, reports CTV.

After a long hiatus from singing, Twain plans to perform a two-year residency at Caesars Palace beginning in 2012.

“I will call Celine (Dion) — somebody should warn her now,” Twain joked at a news conference in Las Vegas. ”I think Celine will be very insightful and very helpful.”

Since  taking up residency in Vegas is always a great boost for careers and proved so with fellow Canadian singer Dion, Twain is hoping it will help her kickstart her singing as well. Her career came to a halt after her marriage ended with producer Robert Lange.

Tickets will reportedly range from $55-250 and went on sale Wednesday evening.

“I’m beyond excited,” said Twain. ”I feel like I’m on the top of the world. Honestly, I feel like I’ve climbed a very giant mountain and I’m just standing right on top with my arms open wide.

“This is really beautiful, really lovely, I’m very excited today.”

Good for her! I always said taking up residency in Vegas would be great for her, so I’m glad she made the smart decision. Not only can she spend time with her family on a stable schedule, but she will routinely get back into performing. I look forward to her return.

It’s a celebrities-being-arrested kind of day.

TMZ reports that Flavor Flav was arrested in Las Vegas this weekend, after the ‘rapper’ was pulled over for a routine traffic violation, when the cop noticed there were four warrants out for his arrest.

Las Vegas cops say Flav, aka William Jonathan Drayton, Jr., was pulled over at 10:57 p.m. Friday night. When the cop ran Flav’s name in the system, he learned the rapper was a wanted man stemming from several prior brushes with the law.

According to law enforcement, Flav never settled up with the court in four separate automobile-related matters, including driving without proof of insurance, a parking violation and two cases of driving without a license.

Flav was taken to a nearby jail, where he was booked, posed for a brand new mug shot and was eventually released.

Yikes. Good luck, Flav.

The Queen of Pop is back at it again, ya’ll.

The forever-reigning pop star, rocked the crowd at the Palms Casino Resort’s Rain Nightclub in Las Vegas Friday night, to help promote her upcoming album Femme Fatale, which will undoubtedly be flying off of shelves when it is released this coming Tuesday.

The set, which was just a short 45 minutes, previewed three songs from the album, including “Hold it Against Me,” “Big Fat Bass,” and “‘Till The World Ends,” — a newly released single which has already climbed to #23 on Billboard’s Top 100 Charts.

It also included three short breaks for costume and set changes – during which none other than Jersey Shore’s Mr. DJ Pauly D, a resident DJ for the Palms, kept the crowd of roughly 1,500 Brit-lovers fired up.

Palms owner George Maloof told UsMagazine.com that, “Britney’s performances were unbelievable and her fans will never forget this night.”

Spears reportedly was not into conversing with the crowd though, keeping her comments to the traditional, “What’s up, Vegas? How you guys feeling? You guys having a good night?”

Understandable perhaps, considering the performance is the first public one Spears has done since her highly successful Circus tour in 2009.

The show, which was supposed to be a secret, but ended up being too juicy to remain quiet, was being filmed for an upcoming MTV special, that will air in conjunction with the release of her seventh studio album.

Brit even took to her Twitter page to tell fans, “Looks like my little secret isn’t a secret anymore… You’re all invited. Be there or be square b****!”

With boyfriend Jason Trawick, and father, Jamie Spears supporting the star from an exclusive VIP area, Spears took the stage with her backup dancers in a series of outfits, including a dazzling blinged-out bodysuit, and for the finale, a black bodysuit dotted with blinking red lights.

The mother of two ended the show with her newest single, “‘Till The World Ends,” proving with dance moves reminiscent of her “Slave 4 U” days, that Ms. Spears certainly still on top of her game.

In celebration of Eva Longoria’s 36^th birthday on Tuesday, the recently-divorced actress went all out, throwing a 1920’s Flapper-themed birthday bash! Among attendees were Penelope Cruz and hubby Javier Bardem, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum, and Kanye West. Definitely sounds like a party!

Apprently Kardashian thought it was, because she took to her twitter, saying, “Me and my girl Heidi Klum getting [our] gangster on! I love this 20′s era!” How cute!

At the party, Longoria showed off new beau Eduardo Cruz!

“Eva and Eduardo were so cute. They were kissing and making out all night. He’s so genuine. It was such a low-key intimate party. Eva had an amazing night with her closest friends. It was maybe 40 people,” said a source, according to Perez Hilton.

But the actual day of her birth was spent at the “happiest place on earth:”

“Thank you everyone for the wonderful bday wishes! I’m celebrated with my family at the happiest place on earth! Disneyland,” Longoria posted on Facebook.

Well isn’t that cute! When I’m 36, I definitely want to celebrate with Mickey and Minnie! Truth is, it does sound kind of fun, though. Gotta love me some Disney!

“But,” Longoria added on Facebook, “the real celebration will be in Vegas this weekend at Eve and Beso at City Center Friday Night! See you there!” Now that sounds more like it – phew! Got a little nervous there for a second.

Hope you enjoy, Eva! We’ll all be there in spirit.

Bruno Mars got his Las Vegas cocaine case taken care of on Friday. The 25 year old pop singer accepted a plea which allows him to pay a fine, serve probation and have a felony cocaine possession charge against him dismissed.

The case stems back to September 2010 when he was arrested for possession of a controlled substance. The cocaine was found on him after security at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino were alerted by a bathroom attendant that the singer was doing drugs in a stall.

Mars accepted a deal where he will pay a $2,000 fine, perform 200 hours of community service and complete drug counseling.

Interestingly, we interviewed Bruno shortly after his drug arrest. However, we avoided the issue of his pending drug trial. But we were nevertheless charmed by the “Just the Way You Are” singer.

TMZ is reporting that world-champion boxer Floyd Mayweather is facing new charges on assault with a deadly weapon, after an incident in Las Vegas last weekend.

Quincey Williams, the alleged victim of the assault, filed a police report on Monday stating that Mayweather quickly made a u-turn in his Bentley and then attempted to run Williams off the road.

The Las Vegas Review Journal has discovered that one of Mayweather’s associates, Ocie Harris, was indicted on a charge for the attempted murder of Quincey Williams back in 2009. Coincidence? That’s for you to decide. Or more likely, the jury.

Of all the deadly weapons on this planet, I think Bentleys are my favourite.

The much buzzed-about bachelorette party for singer Katy Perry has finally happened.

Radar Online reports that Perry and some close friends, including fellow artist and BFF Rihanna, took the Hard Rock Hotel Beach Club in Vegas by storm this weekend. The partygoers proceeded to celebrate Katy’s engagement in the most rock star way possible…by, erm, sitting in the corner of the pool and smoking?

Okay, so it wasn’t the wild and crazy bash that we were all expecting. Still, the guests seemed pretty content to be there, especially Rihanna, who was thoughtful enough to bring along her finest red wig for the occasion.

Katy Perry and her fiancé, British comedian Russell Brand, are getting hitched sometime this fall at an undisclosed location.

Enjoy it while you can, Katy! You only tie the knot once (hopefully)!
