Comedienne Heather McDonald (CHELSEA LATELY) hosts the 4th Annual White Party with attendees suited up in all-white apparel, from suits to gowns, at STK in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Heather told me that she’s narrowed down her original seven outfits to four so that she can decide which one to pick just before doors open.

“I’ve never hosted a white party before, so this is an undertaking. But white outfits are universally flattering, and one takes a good white carpet photo wearing them. It signifies a happy party time.”

Heather told me that it helps being a standup comic when she’s on social media. “It’s a great tool for promoting if I’m coming to your town. It’s exhausting, though, because once you start on it, you’re never off it.

“It can even be profitable, but the downside is that haters can really hurt. I just block them and don’t respond most of the time. Sometimes, though, I can’t help firing back and then block them.”

Max and Iggor Cavalera recall their Brazilian metal album, “Roots,” from 20 years ago with the “Return to Roots Tour” at Country Saloon in Neonopolis on Fremont Street.
