Last night I went to the screening of the new movie This Means War, starring Chris Pine, Reese Witherspoon and Thomas Hardy. It's a cute romantic comedy/action movie. Without giving away too much, is pretty much about two hot federal agents who meet and fight over courting the same girl. I think she made the wrong choice in the end, but I guess you will have to find out for yourself when the movie comes out nationwide on Valentine's day. The movie was cute, but I will not be watching it ever again. I seriously think there is something wrong with Reese Witherspoon's face (esp around the mouth region) so I found it hard to really believe that these two smoking hot guys in the movie were fighting over her. I would have liked to have seen someone else in the role, maybe someone more like Blake Lively. Chelsea Handler was hilarious in the movie, after watching this movie and a few episodes of her new TV show Are You There, Chelsea? I really love her as a actor, and can't wait to see the other projects she's going to be featured in.

It's the ultimate house party and it's our pleasure to introduce you to the new Mansion 360. The 40,000 square foot Miami mega-club was recently redesigned from floor to ceiling with unprecedented lighting and sound systems and an edgy new façade. The city of Miami Beach even declared Saturday, January 21st "Mansion Day" as the club reopened its doors to kick off a two day electro-fest deemed "Deadmau5 unhooked."

True to the new 360 concept, the DJ booth has been relocated to the center, promising guests a great performance no matter where they are on the dancefloor. Mansion goes beyond simple bottle service with the new VIP scene, complete with a full private bar with ample tables and seating, all in the shadow of world-renown DJs.

Tuesday is shaping up to be a fairly tame night. Unless you're going to Nemo for an open bar and karaoke. Enjoy an hour long open bar with cocktails and Sapporo drafts and be sure to drink up so you have the guts to get on stage and make a fool of yourself. Private rooms are also available if the embarrassment is too much for you to handle. Tickets are $45.

Remarkably, just one day after Jay-Z's all-star grand reopening bash, the $10 million newly renovated club was shut down due to health violations. The Health Department marked the venue with 69 violation points, including failure to keep food at the appropriate temperatures and staff cleanliness (ew!).

You'd think after dishing out all that dough to make this place high-class, HOV could afford to hire a good staff and proper utensils to handle food, but apparently not.

However, TMZ reports that the violations were merely due to a fridge that broke prior to the inspection. Alas, who knows the true tale? Luckily - this swanky sports club reopened the folllowing day and is now pending review from the Department of Health.

Seems like the troubled new spot, Ludlow Manor, just can't catch a break. Last Wednesday, the owners faced a hearing before the State Liquor Authority following the Community Board 3 complaints of “multiple misrepresentations” by the owners, which include Georgie Seville and allegedly Lady Gaga's ex Luc Carl. According to Blackbook, a $10,000 fine was assessed.

Ludlow Manor was approved for a ground-floor liquor permit last fall. However, they did not receive a permit for the second or third floors (though rumors are they were serving liquor illegally on both floors, leading to complaints by CB3.) Another curveball was thrown in court when the club's attorney said Carl was not actually an owner, and anyone claiming such was “making an erroneous statement.”

After receiving their liquor license approval last week, Le Baron, the much anticipated club from French nightlife mogul, Andre Saraiva, was reported to be opening their door this Sunday night, January 22. However, we've received word it's not happening. Sigh. After 22 months of speculation, Le Baron, located at 22 Mulberry will become a reality, soon hopefully.

Last night the who's who of hip hop, Hollywood, professional sports, and apparently, even finance came out to celebrate Jay-Z's "formal attire only" grand reopening of the 40/40 Club. And, grand, it certainly was. Once we got past the red carpet, cameras, and mob of people trying to get in, we were greeted with Ace of Spades champagne as we entered the elaborate entrance that looked more like a grand ballroom than a "sports club." Just put it this way, 40/40 is Jay-Z's establishment, so you know it's going to be over-the-top. Gigantic chandeliers surrounded the decadent bar, lined with none other than Ace of Spades champagne. The tiered seating is furnished with white leather booths, surrounded by a glass enclosure and larger-than-life flat screen TVs. This "sports bar" is more fancy than most upscale lounges, and we loved it. It's safe to say, 40/40 Club is the "King" of all sports clubs. And we really expected nothing less from HOV.
