Haute Event: Will.i.am Takes Over the Decks at Surrender Nightclub with Vanessa Lane Bryant and Wiz Kalifa in the Crowd

Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas hosted and performed a special deejay set last night at Surrender Nightclub at Encore Las Vegas. Renowned for his party anthems, Will.i.am helped revelers ring in the new year with an enthusiastic countdown and then hit the wheels of steel to play hit after hit that kept the packed club dancing until DJ Ammo took over spinning duties to close out the memorable night of music and frolic.

Vanessa Lane Bryant was spotted ringing in the new year with two girlfriends at Surrender. The wife of Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant who recently filed for divorce from the NBA star, arrived at 11:30pm and sat facing Will.i.am and sipped on Dom Perignon while her beefy security guards shooed away gawkers with cameras so she could party in peace.

Also spotted: rapper Wiz Kalifa and his girlfriend model Amber Rose with hip hopper Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia and a crew of 16 friends.

Current Mr. Olympia Phil Heath and his wife Jennie Heath celebrated the new year with friends enjoying Dom Perignon.

Handsome Bollywood movie star Simbu was also in the house.
