Fergie and Quentin Tarantino celebrated their birthdays with a joint bash last night in Las Vegas.

“We wanted to do something that was crazy and a lot of fun,” she told Usmagazine.com.

The pair — who filmed a hot and heavy love scene in Tarantino's 2007 flick Grindhouse — spent the afternoon with friends at the Mirage Hotel’s Bare Pool Lounge.

Fergie (who turned 33) and Tarantino (who turned 45) caught the 7 p.m. performance of Cirque du Soleil's Beatle-themed show "LOVE." (They devoured cupcakes backstage, says a source.)

They then partied into the early morning hours at club Jet with Fergie's fiancé Josh Duhamel, Daryl Hannah, and rapper Nelly.

(Guest Kid Rock bought The Dutchess a hot dog toaster called the “Hot Diggity Dog.” “You put the bun on one side, and you put the hot dog in the little hot dog holes, and it pops out of the toaster in about a minute, and your hot dogs are ready to go,” Fergie told Us.)

Further putting those pregnancy rumors to rest, Fergie sipped on wine throughout the night.

At 2:30 a.m. at Jet, Fergie and Tarantino were presented with a birthday cake.

Tarantino "grabbed a handful" and threw it at Fergie, an eyewitness told Usmagazine.com. She then tossed a piece right back at him before "laughing and hugging him and heading back for the Mirage Villas, where they were staying," the onlooker adds.

As the group walked out the door, the DJ played Fergie's hit "London Bridge."

Pimp My Taxes: Can Nelly Deduct His Grillz?

In what is, hands down, our favorite story so far this year (it even beats the cop from the Village People going to J-A-I-L), ABC News explores the deductibility of the rapper Nelly's multi-carated teeth:

Several tax experts agree that Nelly's bejeweled teeth â€” celebrated in the hit "Grillz" â€” should be treated as a business expense and be deducted on the rapper's income tax return.

Because of the unique nature of their work, entertainers often claim deductions that most other people wouldn't try getting away with. In many cases, costly costumes, high-priced personal trainers, and even plastic surgery can be written off as a cost of doing business.

"I got my mouth lookin' somethin' like a disco ball," Nelly and co-singer Paul Wall rap in their hit single, an ode to their gem-encrusted dentures. Wall's oral ornamentation alone, featuring 65 princess-cut diamonds, is valued at $16,000.

Really, this write-off is a victory for both the grill-less and those who purchase their mouths at Tiffany's. After all, if you're going to get all up in someone's grill, you want something pretty to look at while you're there.
