PUPPY LOVE
There's plenty of puppy love in the air at the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood.
Seems seven members of the cast and crew of a film being shot there,
including two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey and several producers, brought
their dogs
to Las Vegas for their monthlong film shoot.
The movie, tentatively called "21," is based on a true story of a team of
card-counting MIT students who win millions in Las Vegas.
Spacey has been spotted in the casino with his mixed mutt, Mini.
Spacey, who portrayed Vegas headliner Bobby Darin in "Beyond the Sea," told
me he may be checking out Pamplemousse, the classic old Vegas restaurant on
East Sahara, long owned by Darin pal George LaForge. The former maitre d' of the
Monte Carlo room at the top of the Desert Inn opened Pamplemousse on June 22,
1976, in honor of Darin, who suggested the name, French for grapefruit.
Darin, who died Dec . 20, 1973, is being honored with a star on the Las Vegas
Walk of Stars in May, on what would have been his 71st birthday.
