Speaking of new nightspots…

The English-inspired neighborhood bar Sheddy's was supposed to open last Friday in the spot that used to house Spanish spot Bodega DeCordova. The owner tells something happened with one of the licenses and that the bar will in fact open this weekend.

The Southern-style bar South was also supposed to open last weekend, but owner Adam Milstein has moved the opening to March 27. "That's the date we're setting in stone," he says, "but call just to make sure." Expect Southern drinks (mint juleps, deep south tea), Southern food (fried chicken, fried green tomatoes), Southern music (Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley) and, of course, Southern hospitality. Milstein says, "We want to make everyone who comes in here feel like they're the most important person in the room."

And what about STK's Coco de Ville, which was supposed to open mid-March? "It looks like we are still about a month or more out," says a rep for the venue. "No updates on our end."

Official word had it that the club above Foxtail was slated to open Saturday, March 15. Then I was told the opening had been postponed. Total bummer, as Jiyeon, queen of our Restaurants section, and I had planned to crash the hoopla after having dinner downstairs. (That also didn't materialize, long story.) As it turns out, Foxtail did open and according to a friend of a friend, who knows promoter/actor Michael Bellisario, the story about the delay was a ruse. But that's just gossip. What I can tell you for sure is that a well-connected friend actually got into the club on Friday the 14th. She says owner/club legend Brent Bolthouse was in the house, manning the decks and hanging out with Ashley Olsen. A rep for Foxtail just said via email, "Club is not officially open yet at all, actually." But if it's not open, how did my friend, who wasn't invited, get in?

Update: I just heard back from Foxtail's rep. She says, "She must have been invited through someone as it’s only been informal friends and family gatherings so far. We open on March 27 and it will be by guest list."

Lohan behold, Lindsay is at the front of a seemingly endless line of celebrities to recently catch the fashion design bug. The former actress blabbed to tabloid Life & Style, "I'm doing my own leggings line, but it's a secret!" In addition to explaining to Lohan that tights are not an acceptable substitute for pants, someone ought to expound upon the definition of a "secret."

Lohan in leggings

I have a few questions; when did throwing on a pair of tights become the lower-body equivalent of wearing a hat on bad hair days? I know they're a product of the ‘80s fashion resurgence, but aren't they on their way out with headbands and male cleavage? Fame-induced taste dementia has—since the genesis of Hollywood—been something easily cured by wardrobe stylists. These days, however, it seems like every Hollywood starlet from A to Z list fancies herself a fashion icon—rejecting the wardrobe department and indulging her innate "sense of style" with a product launch and a marketing campaign.

You've come a long way, baby

I haven't seen them yet, but according to Lohan, "They'll have designs. Some of them will have prints, and some will have patterns." I guess it's nice to know that, even if you can't find depth or range in any of her performances, at least you'll be able to find it in her tights.
