Lucky number 86

 
Drum roll please…

After close to a year of delays, Steve Adelman of Spider Club and Avalon fame is finally opening 86, an intimate club space next to Lift. The venue, which allegedly belonged to Rudolph Valentino during the prohibition, will cater to celebrities, or at least that’s what I heard last December when there were plans to have Vogue or Vanity Fair (one of the “V” magazines) host the grand opening party. As for now, the venue is still under construction, but promoter Jenn Laskey is taking it for a test run next Thursday, November 15. As for the grand opening: It's anticipated to go down the second week of January, just about when people decide to 86 their New Year’s resolutions.—Alexandra Le Tellier

Vice's dirty sexy money

 
After being open for three months, the dudes at Vice have finally revealed the super secret celebrity investor behind the club. It’s Jesse Metcalfe! I learned about this in July, but true to my word I actually kept my mouth shut—and that’s very hard for a yenta to do, let me tell you.

Anyway, the owners didn’t want to use the celeb angle to build a clientele. That’s savvy, sure, but something tells me they were also nervous about tying his name to the club given that he just got out of rehab. What’s the “Desperate Housewives” hunk thinking, you might ask? I hear his mom’s been by his side every step of the way on this business venture. Isn’t that so supportive? —Alexandra Le Tellier



Why hello! If only he would always hit the clubs in this, um, outfit.
