Overnight, Kevin Federline has gone from rapper dud to super dad! But he'll abandon his Mr. Mom role of caring for Britney Spears' two infants this weekend on a Vegas visit. Ever since the pop princess imploded and shaved her head bald to windup in a Malibu rehab treatment center for alcohol and drug abuse, K-Fed has been sharing parenting duties of 18-month-old Sean Preston and five-month-old Jayden James with Britney's mom. Lynne. But come midnight tomorrow, he'll host and make his debut appearance at the new Beatles Revolution Lounge at the Mirage. Kevin might even be tempted to spin his own records because the next night, Sunday, he's followed in by rocker Tommy Lee as DJ host. Fed-Ex will leave the babies with Britney's mom while he's here. Meantime Britney remains at the Promises spa-type rehab center near the Malibu home they shared before her divorce filing and which is currently up for sale with a $10-million-plus pricetag!


PUSSYCAT PARTIES WITH CHRISTINA
Meow, meow. It will be a contingent of cute and curvy pussycats tomorrow night at the PURE Nightclub. The six original Dolls from LA who became national recording stars will purr right at the six Vegas Dolls, in a joint welcome to sex-kitten Christina Aguilera for her after-concert party and to open the new Pussycat Dolls Casino opposite in Caesars Palace. Christine and the LA Dolls appear earlier at Mandalay Bay and then zip over for the opening of the pleasure-playpit with its fishnet-covered table legs and go-go dancer cages! Then it's a red-carpet crush as the showgirls let their hair down to party hearty in the mega club. We'll have the full, up-close photo report here on LUXE LIFE as of Sunday morning!


Meantime the power of PURE continues to expand. LUXE LIFE reported earlier this week about the preview party it hosted in Miami in advance of opening in South Beach later this Spring. Now comes a definite April date for opening its newest venture in the Bahamas at mega-mogul Sol Kerzner's extravagant Atlantis resort on Paradise Island. They've teamed to open the new nightclub, Aura that will be partly-staffed by its Vegas executives and models. The 9,000 sq.ft nightclub radiates sophistication and beauty from its elevated position off the casino floor with a grand staircase down into a sunken dance floor surrounded by lush banquettes." We are thrilled to bring a whole new concept in nightlife to The Bahamas with Aura at Atlantis," said Pure's managing partner Robert Frey. "Kerzner is the perfect partner for our first international nightlife venture and we are really excited by the final product." Atlantis which is run by former Caesars Palace Vegas honcho George Markantonis is also home to two other Vegas figures NOBU's Japanese restaurant and celebrity chef Bobby Flay. Its expected that PURE stockholder Shaquille O'Neal will hop over from his Miami home if he doesn't have a Miami heat basketball game conflict!

ELVIS IS BACK IN THE HOUSE

A new Elvis Presley novelty sign marking his '68 Comeback NBC TV special has just been released, complete with LED's flashing his name in red lights along with a 40-second sound chip playing "Don't be Cruel." It is an exact replica of the towering backdrop from the TV broadcast. Bob McMonigle, owner of Vegas based Bogar Enterprises that licensed the sign from the Presley estate said: " It was a milestone in his career and one of the greatest moments of rock music history. It simply deserved to be commemorated and we think its certain to become a collector's item for his fans and regular Vegas visitors requiring a unique souvenir to take home." You'll find it in hotel-casino gift shops for $49.99 or on line at lvsignco.com or elvis.com.

BALD HEADS FOR CANCER KIDS

Scores of Las Vegas residents, from celebrities to casino executives to homemakers to retirees to our sports teams, will have their heads shaved bald at a local Irish pub next Saturday, March 10, as part of a major childrens cancer fundraiser. My friends, Brian and Lynn McMullan, owners of McMullan's Irish Pub, and their children head up the inaugural Vegas effort with a $100,000 target as part of a national fund-raising campaign by the St. Baldrick's Foundation. It is one of more than 300 identical events that will be held simultaneously nationwide. St. Baldrick's has raised more than $20 million to date and last year made $4-million available to 230 institutions for research and development of advanced treatment techniques. I'm going to join a team of revolving celebrities who will each emcee for a one-hour block during the super shave-off, so come down and give us your generous support! (Photo shows the McMullan's, Ross, Branah, Lynn and Brian before the shaving!)
