‘Closer’ crooner Ne-Yo brought 32 in with a bang yesterday at his Encore Las Vegas nightclub Surrender birthday celebration.  Greeted by a host of guests and the sexy Surrender go-go dancers, the birthday boy was later presented with a cake fashioned after himself (hat included).  He later treated attendees to performances of hit songs ‘Closer’ and his contribution to Pitbull‘s #1 smash ‘Give Me Everything’.

In what comes as little surprise, ABC gave viewers two new reasons – cuties Monroe and Moroccan Cannon – to tune into 20/20 and tune in they did (in incredible numbers).  For proud mom and pop Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon‘s unveiling of ‘dem babies’ led the news program to receive some of its most impressive numbers this year.

Report:

This was the show’s best viewership in more than 18 months, since February 2010, and its highest A18-49 rating since January 2010. Going head-to-head, “20/20″ more than doubled “Dateline NBC” in the demo (2.1 vs. 1.0) and nearly doubled in Total Viewers (7.6M vs. 3.9M). “20/20″ helped make ABC #1 for the night in Adults 18-49.
