Bill Maher and Adrienne Maloof are official!

The political comedian has revealed he is totally doing the newly divorced Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star…

…a favor by moving his stand up show to her Las Vegas casino! LOLz!

That's right — he's taking up residence in The Palms!

Billy's Sin City stand up shows used to be held exclusively at Orleans casino. But now, thanks to new deal he stuck up with Mz. Maloof, all of Bill's Vegas shows will now be held at the Palm's Pearl.

You can see the Real Time With Bill Maher star play the 2,500-seat theater at Adrienne's resort, March 23-24, June 8-9, Sept. 6-7 and Nov. 2-3.

So, what are the odds of a Maher/Maloof romance developing from this situation?

For now, all bets are out!

Have U ever wanted a pair of jeans that could double as decor? Then look no further because Naked & Famous has made that wish come true.

The unique denim company has just revealed their 32oz selvedge denim jeans, and FYI, these bad boys can stand on their own.

It took a lot of mallet hammering and expert sewing, but their team was able to produce 138 pairs for select retailers.

With a price tag of $800, we don't expect everyone to splurge on these. But it's nice to know they exist!
