The 17-year-old rising star DJ has been scoring high-profile gigs across the country. When previously asked how his famous dad feels about his DJing, Cruise replied, “He loves it!” Cruise reportedly takes his DJing seriously and is hoping to continue long-term.

Dressed in dark jeans, black Diamond Life tee, Supra kicks, and a matching Louis Vuitton belt and backpack, the young DJ captivated the lavish nightspot with an eclectic mix of artists and musical genres. Opening with an upbeat mix of Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers,” Cruise continued late into the night with unexpected mashups including Avicii’s hit “Levels” with alternative breakout Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” while mixing in tunes like Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain,” “Take Care” from Drake, and the popular David Guetta and Usher collaboration “Without You.” Dancing as he spun from the DJ booth above Hyde’s dramatic fireplace, Cruise overlooked a sea of club-goers dancing on tables as the famed Fountains of Bellagio sprayed high into the night.

Ashton Kutcher Caddy’s for Michael Jordan

Actor Ashton Kutcher was in Las Vegas the weekend of March 30th for the 11th annual Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational. He also announced his role as billionaire tech-visionary Steve Jobs in an upcoming biopic.

When asked about why MJ recruited him to be his caddy, Kutcher joked, “I’m a mathematician. MJ likes to carry engineers and mathematicians around with him to read the greens and gauge the distance…Some people have perfect pitch; I have perfect eyesight.” Looks like Kutcher’s math skills have skyrocketed him from lending his talents to sports’ biggest legend to technology’s biggest legend in just one night.

Sporting a cowboy hat and caddy bib emblazoned with his name, Kutcher joined MJ for the back nine where he jumped into Jordan’s custom Carolina-blue #23 golf cart, which ironically blasted Willie Nelson’s “Mama Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys.” Kutcher even made sure to fulfill his caddy duties by pulling clubs, reading the greens and providing words of encouragement to Jordan. After a rogue Jordan shot, Kutcher was quick to take the blame, saying, “It was the wrong club – that was my fault!” He even got down on the ground to check the break of the greens and occasionally threw grass in the air to gauge the wind direction.
