Grammy Winner Akon Heats Things Up At REHAB And Body English In Las Vegas

Part of the fun of Las Vegas is you never know what celebrities you'll see out & about. A great place to see some is the Smashtime Saturdays celebration over at Body English located at the Hard Rock Hotel .

This weekend's surprise guest was Grammy winner Akon who took over the mic and wowed the crowd with an impromptu performance. Also spotted among the crowd was Tv's “Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester who was with fellow actors Joshua Lebar and Sebastian Stan. Leighton was pulled onstage by Akon to sing "Happy Birthday" to the event's host at one point! Other partygoers included including “Sopranos” star Steve Schirripa, UFC Champ Rampage Jackson.

The party spilled over on Sunday to the world-famous REHAB at the Hard Rock pool. There, the new crowd favorite Akon once again surprised the crowd with a preformance that lasted over an hour! He had only planned on doing 3 songs but the energy of the crowd kept him going! Once again Akon shared the stage, this time with Smashtime DJ Clinton Sparks, who produced 3 tracks on his latest release. Leighton Meester and friends were once again on hand for the party as were other famous faces like fighters Floyd Mayweather and Rampage Jackson along with NFL players Alex Smith and Sedrick Ellis
