Stallone, Statham and Schwarzenegger Highlight Star-Studded Evening at The Expendables' Las Vegas Premiere

Filed under: Events

Celebs and partygoers alike flocked to Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Wednesday evening for the Las Vegas premiere of The Expendables. Crowds lined the casino floor, turned into an impromptu red carpet, while lucky ticket holders and high-roller members of the Total Rewards Diamond and Seven Stars clubs enjoyed access to the celebrity screening, held in the resort's Peepshow theater.

Red carpet notables included cast members Sylvester Stallone (with wife and daughters in tow), Jason Statham, Randy Couture, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Charisma Carpenter, Dolph Lundgren, Giselle Itie, and Governor Schwarzenegger himself, who bypassed the carpet, much to the dismay of the crowd. We're told he went straight to hotspot Koi for dinner, where he was later joined by Stallone. Additional appearances included Young MC (who, appropriately, emceed the screening), Peepshow's Holly Madison, Tommy "Tiny" Lister and Eclipse and New Moon's Daniel Cudmore.

The film, which opens nationwide today, features a hardened team of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a corrupt dictator on a South American island. While the plot (shoot, fight, kill, blow things up, repeat) is thin to non-existent, the star-studded cast and exceptional special effects will surely draw a big crowd at the box office.

Inside the invite-only after party, select movie-goers and celebs mingled to the sounds of not one, but two, DJs (too much is never enough for this film of "more, more, more") while noshing on coconut shrimp, mini empanadas and lobster quesadillas while sipping drinks like the Expendables Motherf***er, an electric blue play on a Long Island Iced Tea.

Star Trek Memorabilia Auction

Filed under: Auctions

For those whose inner Trekkies were tickled by the return of much younger, much hotter Star Trek last year, you might want to beam in for Julien's Auctions' sale of memorabilia from the new and old series'. Relics from original creator Gene Roddenberry's house will go under the hammer, as will costumes including outfits worn by Roddenberry's wife in the original series and a parka worn by Leonard Nimoy in the Chris-Pine-led movie reboot. Furniture such as a bridge chair, and weaponry – or things that look like they could be weapons in a show about the future – are also slated for sale.

And if you need any more convincing, William Shatner will be there personally to regale you with... himself. If you win the Klingon rifle (pictured), please don't point it at him. The auction goes down at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on June 27.
