We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.

Gossip report: What's up in WeHo

 
There are like five straight bars in WeHo and there’s news to report about three of them.

» Reza Roohi, who quit SBE after his now ex-girlfriend Daniela Danilovic was fired from the company, has opened Villa in the old Monroe’s space. It’s his first venture since his departure from SBE and with promoters/investors Chuck & Vinny on his team, there’s no doubt the place will be a blockbuster success in the celeb and A-list scene. The place itself has the feel of an exclusive house party in the hills—there are even beds upstairs! But don’t worry! I’ll have a shiny review of the place up for you by next Thursday.

» Something is up at Guy’s. Danny Masterson’s weekly jazz event Kids Cotton Club recently moved from Guy’s on Sunday nights to an unnamed Hollywood club space on Tuesday nights; his camp claims it’s because the city of West Hollywood finally noticed that Guy’s doesn’t have a cabaret license. And, yesterday, Eater LA discovered a “demolish and construct” sign on the exterior. They’re probably remodeling, something they originally planned to do in January 2006. But maybe someone bought them out. I always get suspicious when my calls for comment aren’t returned.

 
» Lobby Supper Club is reopening early next year as Foxtail. Lobby, you’ll remember, is best known as the place where LC and Jason Wahler had their blowout fight on New Year’s Eve. (And, before it was Lobby, it was The Lounge where Britney and Justin had their infamous dance-off.) Anyway, Foxtail will be a restaurant, lounge and club and have an “art deco meets ‘60s London feel.” Frank X. Medrano and Steve H. Brabson of Franklin Studios are the masterminds behind the redesign; here’s what they had to say about it earlier this year.
