The exclusive scoop on 2008's most anticipated club
Has Paris
Hilton's star finally begun to fade? We haven’t seen as much of her since she started dating Benji Madden, but if you
ask me, it's probably not love that’s keeping her out of the spotlight. I think
we've just gotten tired of idolizing heiresses during this sad economic climate
where a gallon of gas costs more than a cup of coffee and baristas are getting
laid off. Perhaps this is why nightclub impresario David
Judaken, who owns Opera/Crimson and Mood, decided to change the course of his
next project.
Until Monday, Judaken had planned on turning his Morrocan-style club Garden of Eden (on La Brea Avenue at Hollywood Boulevard) into something called Heir. Then bam! After an inspiring conversation with interior designer Dodd Mitchell, who created the stylish spaces at Teddy's and Tropicana Bar, Judaken decided instead to transform Garden of Eden into My House. The idea is reminiscent of Villa, which aims to have an exclusive house party vibe, but according to an inside source, My House will take Villa’s “books and a bed” décor concept to the next level.
As with all of Judaken’s venues, there will be an open floor plan. But Mitchell is going to design the space to give the illusion of different areas: dining room, media room, home theatre, even a sleek and modern kitchen that'll serve as the bar. Of course, no house party would be complete without a barbeque pit in a backyard, so they’re putting one of those in too!
The venue's tentatively slotted for a soft opening in late September, but my source thinks that they probably won’t open until December. Here’s what I can be sure about: My House’s right by the Kodak Theatre and Mann Chinese, so expect a ton of movie premiere and award show after parties to go down here. And yeah, I'm sure there'll eventually be quite a few Paris sightings too.
