Ice-T and Coco Host ‘Peepshow’ After-Party at Body English

Past “Peepshow” at Planet Hollywood stars Holly Madison and Coco Austin are duking it out over competing burlesque and push-the-envelope sexy shows.

Reality TV star Coco (“Ice Loves Coco”) says that her new dance ensemble is a naughty burlesque show with seven vivacious dancers she’s named “Coco the Vanity Vixens.”

She opens in New York on May 12 and says she’s aiming for a Las Vegas home to return to the Strip.

Holly says her new “1923 Bourbon Burlesque club soft opening April 11 with an April 17 grand opening at Mandalay Bay will be true burlesque from that era:

“We look forward to introducing Las Vegas to glamorous burlesque set inside an intimate 1920s-style speakeasy.” Singer Skye Dee Miles from the Tropicana will handle vocals with a four-piece band playing for the burlesque dancers.

My colleague John Katsilometes reports that the dancers won’t be topless, instead performing down to pasties.

A catfight may have started between the duo on Sunday when Holly’s supporters blasted Coco’s vixens show as “way too cheesy and slutty — there was nothing burlesque about their video.”

SWAPPING LIVES: No less than three couples with close ties to Las Vegas will be featured in the new Season 3 debut of “Celebrity Wife Swap” starting April 15.

In the premiere episode, two Hollywood dynasties join for the first time when the partners of music legend Jermaine Jackson and actor Daniel Baldwin swap very contradictory lives for one week. The Jacksons’ run in “Rocktellz Cocktails” at Planet Hollywood ends Sunday.

In the season debut, Daniel’s former girlfriend, Isabella Hofmann, lives in the Hollywood Hills with their autistic son Atticus, 17. After struggling for a decade with drug addiction, Daniel is now sober and working on rebuilding his relationship with Isabella and Atticus.

In Calabasas, Calif., Jermaine and his wife, Halima, live a privileged life with their prized show dog, Fiji. These families may be considered Hollywood celebrities, but that is where their similarities end.

When Isabella arrives at the Jackson home, the glitz and glamour, as well as the racks of clothing, endless pairs of shoes and infinite bottles of perfume blow her away. Meanwhile, Halima experiences a surprise of her own when she sees her swap home’s modest size compared to her own grand estate.

In the end, one side of the swap is left in an awkward and uncomfortable situation when the celebrity husband holds firm and resists any change. Details of the two other Las Vegas couples will be revealed when filming and editing is completed.
