Is High Noon near for Hilton, Lohan?

There are rumblings that a Las Vegas get-out-of-jail party is being proposed to Hilton, who will be freed from a 23-day jail sentence shortly before Lohan’s July 1-3 bash in Sin City.

Hilton starts serving her sentence June 5 for driving with a suspended license. She and Lohan have feuded in recent years over limelight issues.

Meanwhile, more details are coming out about Lohan’s party. She turns 21 on July 2, a Monday, so the party starts at midnight on July 1.

Caesars Palace will have a specially designed suite ready for her, according to Us magazine. Her main party will be at Pure nightclub at Caesars, with stops at the resort’s Venus pool lounge and at Social House restaurant at Treasure Island, both operated by Pure Management Group.

LANCE’S LEAN YEARS

Lance Burton, who is celebrating his 25-year run in Las Vegas this week, got off to a nervous start at his first job.

The Tropicana’s entertainment director who hired Burton as a specialty act for eight weeks left soon after. The replacement, Larry Lee, waited for two weeks before renewing Burton for a spot in “Folies Bergere.”

Burton stayed for 9 1/2 years, and worked two years without a night off.

“I did two shows a night seven nights a week,” he said. “The specialty acts didn’t have a swing like the cast and dancers.

“On our two-week vacation, I performed in Tahoe. I drove a yellow 1970 Plymouth Duster with a leaky radiator and would frequently have to fill it with a gallon of water.”

He had a cozy apartment at Arville and Sahara.

“I saw a shocking picture of her (Paris Hilton) today. She was not only carrying books, one of the books is the Bible. I’m pretty sure she stole it from one of her parents’ hotel rooms.” — Jimmy Kimmel
