Paris Hilton is looking for her bunnies. It's really not as crazy at it sounds. Saturday night just turned into Easter Sunday morning and she's walking around her Tuscan-style home in the Hollywood Hills looking for her furry friends. "Where are they?" she asks her sister, Nicky, whose lounging by the pool and talking to their friend Brandon Davis. "They're not in the cage."

I would help out but I'm busy at the moment trying to figure what I'm even doing here as I sit in front of a silver bowl filled to the brim with Marlboros in her backyard while Rumer Willis asks me for a light. I don't have a light but I do need a drink so I stroll back inside the house, past the curving stairway with every magazine cover that Paris has ever graced hanging along the walls and into the kitchen where I maneuver past Seth MacFarlane and Ryan Phillipe.

It's a scene straight out of Entourage but the topic of conversation for many at the party has little to do with the premiere of Hollywood's favorite show but with UFC 69, which took place earlier in the night. The pay-per-view show featured the biggest upset of the year when Matt Sera beat George St. Pierre for the Welterweight Championship with a TKO in the first round.

In fact, it's all anybody in the line waiting to use the restroom can talk about over the soothing sounds of Stars are Blind after Paris goes downstairs to play her self-titled CD on her sound system. It's the same kind of buzz that boxing has been lacking for the past two decades but the UFC has been able to capture recently from Madison Avenue's most desirable demographic. Not only did the UFC break the pay-per-view industry's all-time records for a single year of business in 2006, generating over $222,766,000 in revenue, that figure was the most grossed revenue by any promotion in history, including wrestling and boxing.

Numbers like that have made the gleam in UFC President Dana White's eyes almost as bright as the one coming off his perfectly shaven head these days. "It's surreal," says White, who recently announced that UFC bought out Japanese rival Pride Fighting Championships, furthering the company's stranglehold on the mixed martial arts market. "We kind of look around and we're happy and we're proud but we haven't even scratched the surface of this thing yet. We're no where near mainstream and we got a long way to go."

• While we're on the topic, Tito Ortiz was in Los Angeles on Monday to celebrate the birthday of his girlfriend Jenna Jameson at Forty Deuce. Paris Hilton was also on hand for the affair in which Ortiz got on stage and sang Happy Birthday to his girlfriend off key and ended it with always classic, "and many more of channel 4" routine. It was a nice gesture but certainly no where near as tantalizing as the performance that Ortiz got about three months ago for his birthday. Back then Jameson popped out of a box and gave Ortiz a lap dance to Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back and fed him a piece of his birthday cake as he was flanked by Pussycat Dolls.

• Britney Spears has turned into quite the Lakers fans since leaving rehab last month. She's been spotted at two games this month, most recently spending her Easter Sunday at Staples Center watching the Lakers-Suns game. While I'm not sure if Spears, who was seen wearing a Kobe Bryant at one game, ever got to read Bryant's advice to her about her new hairdo in this space, but I can ease the minds of the ladies in Los Angeles and tell you there's no truth to the rumors that Spears and Walton are an item. In fact, the two have yet to go out on a date, let alone grabbed a bite to eat at Joey's Smokin' BBQ, the restaurant that Walton is part-owner of near his home in Manhattan Beach.

• If you're the kind of wrestling fan that wishes those "bra and panties" matches would go just a little bit further, Carmen Electra feels your pain. That's why the model has started the Naked Women's Wrestling League, which debuts this week. "If you're tired of bulky men in briefs than get ready for the NWWL," she says. "Wrestling doesn't get any sexier than this." Apparently not. The official press release says, "Please note this is not oil or mud wrestling. This is the same kind of high-impact, body-slamming action that can be found in the world's leading professional wrestling rings, except that in the NWWL, all of the wrestlers are female and each women athlete performs completely naked." Well, as long as there's no oil or mud, I suppose it's OK.

Royals' outfielder Joey Gathright likes jumping over cars. Well, at least he did five years ago. ... In the hopes of getting Entourage-like ratings in the postseason, TNT is using Jeremy Piven in their commercials for the NBA Playoffs. Although Piven was superimposed in the ads, he and the crew from Entourage were not during their trip to Staples Center in the season premiere. They filmed the scenes from their courtside seats at the Lakers' game last April against the Warriors. ... Elisabeth Shue is apparently pursuing a professional tennis according to some Internet reports. "It's always been a dream of mine," said Shue, whose brother, Andrew, starred on Melrose Place and also played for the Los Angeles Galaxy. "I don't think I'll be playing at the U.S. Open, but, by September, I'd like to be competing professionally, even at the lowest level."
