A star-studded guest list of VIPs was released Wednesday detailing the colorful and high-profile personalities expected to attend the premiere of “Criss Angel Believe” on Friday.
The sixth Vegas Cirque du Soleil show will be unveiled Halloween night during an extravagant and appropriately spooky gala event.
Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté will be in town to mark the occasion with Angel and the show’s co-writer and director, Serge Denoncourt.
Among their guests will be Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan from ABC’s “Lost,” Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt, stars of E!’s “The Girls Next Door,” Christina Hendricks from AMC’s “Mad Men,” and Neil Patrick Harris from CBS’s “How I Met Your Mother” (and of “Doogie Howser, M.D.” fame).

Evangeline Lilly regrets her past as a lads’ mag pin-up.
The Lost star, 29, insists she only stripped for the pictures because she was told to.
She explains, “I was inexperienced back then and quite trusting so I had to learn how to deal with that.
“There’s some ugly burned bridges in the past because I put my trust in people and they just didn’t follow through.
“I ended up in Maxim magazine and things like that and I would never in a million years be caught dead in those magazines. So I’m now with the right people and they understand me.”
Evangeline Lilly, Matthew Fox and Josh Holloway talk about life in Hawaii:
LOST star EVANGELINE LILLY stumbled into acting while she was “doing a psychological exercise” by going to auditions.
The 29-year-old simply wanted to challenge her fears of acting up in front of the harshest critics when she discovered she had a talent for the craft.
She explains, “I had no intention for it to connect to a job. So when I got a job, I had to sit down and go, ‘Do I want to be an actor?’”
Lilly reveals the job she landed was her role as Kate Austen on Lost.
Before her acting took off, the pretty star dreamed of becoming a flight attendant.
She adds, “I wanted to see the world, and I didn’t have money. I was living on tea and peanut butter… so I went and I did the flight attendant training.”
But her high-flying dreams didn’t last long: “I did the job for one month and I quit.”

Evangeline Lilly has come to hate being seen as a bikini babe so much that she won’t set foot on a beach. The 29-year-old Canadian actress says her experience as a sexy castaway on hit show Lost and being constantly targeted by photographers near her Hawaii home means she’s now had to give up her love of the sun, sea and surf. “I’ve had to change my whole life,” says Lilly of the unwanted attention she gets. “For the last two years in Hawaii I won’t be caught dead on the beach. I can’t go because I’m tired of seeing myself in a bikini on the cover of a tabloid magazine and being that woman. I’m not that woman. If I was that woman then great I’d go down to the beach every day and would wear the cutest bikini anyone has ever seen. But in order to kind of represent myself in the public eye, I’ve stopped going to the beach.”
