You can't celebrate the holidays without champagne—it's the quintessential drink during this time of year. However, by the time New Year's Eve rolls around, you might be starting to tire of this sparkling spirit all by itself. Luckily, it's simple to spice up your champers with what's already in your fridge or liquor cabinet. Try mixing up one of these for your next toast.

Remember how Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag had it out last season in a public screaming match at Les Deux? Well, the producers of The Hills were still trying to squeeze more drama out of the former BFFs' sitch Thursday night, but things didn't go down according to plan.

I spotted Lauren, Audrina, Whitney and Lo shooting scenes upstairs at Goa for the new Hills episodes. They were at a table with a random group of guys. Audrina was taking pictures of the girls on her phone, while Lauren was sipping a cocktail and wearing a headband. It was fascinating stuff.

RSVPs:  Snoop Dogg, Chelsea Handler, Guiliana Rancic...
When:  Dec. 11
Where:  Sony Studios

One of the perks of working at E! is you never know who might show up at your holiday party. Another fun fact? CEO Ted Harbert doesn't just provide his people with an open bar—he's set up margarita bars to serve his own signature recipe to the thirsty masses, thereby ensuring his employees get their fill of top-shelf tequila at the company shindig.

So, we’ve covered your New Year's Eve options in Sin City, but what if you’re heading to Miami? Rest assured, there are plenty of star-studded soirees to hit. Here’s the scoop on who’s celebrating in South Beach.

Here's a Hint:  This curvy dame knows just how to show some skin, even if her fans might not be keeping an eye on her elbow. Her favorite accessory is blood-red lipstick, and she was married to a rock star who knows a little something about lip liner himself.

The cocktail of choice for celebs at Hollywood Life’s Breakthrough Awards last weekend was bright blue and called the McLovin’. In case you’ve been living under a rock, McLovin’ happens to be the name an underage character uses on his fake ID in the hit high school movie Superbad, which was recently released on DVD.

Watch out, Hollywood: There’s a new hot spot in town, and it's already got celebs flocking there in droves.

If your New Year's Eve plans are taking you to Sin City, you’ll have plenty of party options. A slew of celebs are hosting bashes, but which one is worth your bucks? 

Paris and Nicky Hilton are set to celebrate at LAX, one of the newer clubs in town. The venue’s huge, it’s right on the strip and DJ AM is spinning tunes. But the Hiltons are so predictable. Do you really want to ring in the New Year watching Paris on a pole? That’s so 2003. Now, Paris and  Britney together on the pole—that's 2008!

Cost:  A cool $250 just to get into the joint. Not cheap, but you do get two Hiltons for one price.

Pam Anderson is doing the countdown over at Pure. This is the same place where Ms. Spears passed out last New Year’s Eve, so Pammy’s got some wobbly stilettos to fill. Plus, now that Rick Solomon’s made an honest woman out of her, will she still party like a rock star? Who are we kidding? Of course she will!

Cost:  $250 gets you a ticket and includes a champagne toast.

And finally, Kevin Federline will be ushering in 2008 over at Tangerine. Does that mean Brit will have the boys that night? Uh-oh. No word on whether K-Fed will perform at this party.

Cost:  $100 a pop—less than half of what you’ll pony up for Pam or Paris and Nicky, and you still get a glass of gratis bubbly.

Now, you tell me...if you were in Vegas, whose party would you pick?
