For us non-basketball fans, there are finally two celebs coming in for the NBA All-Star Game worth talking about. Can you say Carmen Electra and Holly Madison? Hi-yo! The two famous man-eaters are co-hosting the Playmate Playground NBA All-Star party next Saturday night at AMPM Restaurant and Lounge.

For those without basic cable, Holly is the former No. 1 girlfriend of Hugh Hefner and star of the show The Girls Next Door. The 83-year-old Hef managed to gallantly dodge Holly's many marital hints, and she packed her things and left the mansion. (In December, E! showed a preview episode of the latest Girls Next Door spinoff, Holly's World.)

Clubbing with LeBron

Holly and Carmen's party will be the crescendo of several celeb get-togethers at AMPM.

Thursday night, R&B singer Monica and rapper Busta Rhymes will also host an AMPM party. And on Friday, LeBron James and actor and rapper Drake will be in the house at AMPM for a party featuring a surprise big-name performer.

Fair game

The Dallas Art Fair has grown up fast in just one year. Thursday night, about 1,000 people flooded into the Fashion Industry Gallery to preview the offerings from some of the top galleries in the country.

"Last year was our first year and it was more of an entertainment destination for some people," observed FIG owner and Art Fair co-founder John Sughrue. "This year, people are coming to buy art."

Some of the biggest names on the local art scene attended the Thursday party, including collector Betty Blake; Monterrey-Dallas businessman Eduardo Brittingham and his wife, Kary; DMA contemporary curator Charlie Wylie; Neiman Marcus fashion director Ken Downing; businessman Bennie Bray and his wife, Stephanie; autos scion Carl Sewell III; Snoring Center founder Dr. Craig Schwimmer and his anesthesiologist wife, Shanon Schwimmer; and Sotheby's chairman of North and South America Warren Weitman and his wife, Eve Reid. (Eve chaired the preview gala, a benefit for Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.)

San Francisco art dealer John Berggruen brought his A game, greeting guests in a showroom filled with paintings by Roy Lichtenstein, Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Diebenkorn.

Pace Prints out of New York had a bit of something for everyone – well-priced Jim Dine and Jean Dubuffet lithographs as well as works by Henri Matisse.
