Where are celebrities spending New Year’s Eve 2011? At a bunch of high-profile parties, of course, starting with America’s celeb-in-chief, Kim Kardashian! The newly single reality superstar will be hosting an event at TAO in Las Vegas’ Venetian hotel. Meanwhile, her brother Rob will be partying nearby at the Wynn Las Vegas’s Tryst nightclub, while sister Kourtney and boyfriend Scott Disick are expected to hit up Chateau in the city’s Paris hotel.
In fact, Las Vegas seems to be where it’s at as 2011 winds down. Bruno Mars will spend the night at The Bank, a club in the Bellagio hotel, with fellow singer John Legend celebrating at The Palms and Chris Brown letting loose at Caesars Palace’s club Pure. Black Eyed Peas Fergie (The Mirage) and Will.i.am (Encore at Wynn) are also in Sin City, as are blonde bombshells Holly Madison (Planet Hollywood) and Pamela Anderson (MGM Grand). Lindsay Lohan will NOT be partying this year, but former gal pal Samantha Ronson is deejaying at LAVO in The Palazzo.
New York has its own star power tonight. As Gossip Cop reported, Lady Gaga will be dropping the famous ball in Times Square, where Ryan Seacrest, Carson Daly and Anderson Cooper will be hosting live coverage. Justin Bieber will be performing in the Big Apple as part of “Dick Clark‘s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” while his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, will be with her pal Demi Lovato for MTV’s event. And that’s not all. George Clooney and Stacy Keibler will be spending the big night in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where other stars include Cindy Crawford.
Down in Miami, Chace Crawford, Jessica Szohr and Jessica Lowndes will be at LIV, a club at the Fontainebleau hotel. For some celebs, 2011 is already over. Cory Monteith, for instance, was in Sydney for the big celebration ushering in the New Year several hours ago. How are you planning to ring in 2012?
