There are many perks that come with owning a nightclub, sadly none of which involve snorting cocaine off a waitress's derriere. Gary Malhotra -- owner of Quo nightclub in Manhattan learned that the hard way after forcefully trying to solicit the compliance of one her employees in his ass-inine fantasy.

The 24 year old waitress Nicole Salama said after vehemently refusing to allow Malhotra to do drugs off her tush, he grabbed her breast and said "Ok, off your [breast] then".

"No!" Salama replied. "I really don't want to. I want to leave right now. I want to go right now!"

In the end she was unable to stop Malhotra from doing a line off her shoulder, after which she reported the incident to the police. Gary Malhotra is currently being sued for $3.5 million and will most likely be the butt of many jokes to come.

Whoever is responsible for shutting down nightclubs at the New York State Liqour Authority (SLA) is taking their job way too seriously. Right on the heels of closing down another trendy nightclub -- Club Duvet in December 2009, the SLA has shut down yet another Manhattan nightspot -- Touch, which we featured on the Orb recently. [more]

In all, the club was cited for 21 violations by the SLA, with a laundry list of allegations that seem like inescapable setbacks that cannot be avoided in operating any popular venue in the city. Some of them are: 

• Sale of alcohol to minors
• Assault
• Employment of an unlicensed bouncer
• Noise infractions
• Overcrowding
• Failing to supervise

One of the assault charges brought against Touch involve a patron who attacked the DJ with a glass bottle, sending him to the hospital. Bouncers at Touch retaliated by dragging the patron to the roof of the building and beating him for approximately 25 minutes resulting in the patron suffering a fractured shoulder, a broken nose and losing his wallet in the process.

 

Former Motley Crue Drummer and founder of rap-metal project Methods of Mayhem -- Tommy Lee was a special guest  last week of the King Baby Studio’s grand opening after-party at Blush Boutique Nightclub in Las Vegas. Just after 11 pm he showed up together with his new girlfriend Sofia Toufa...and red lip marks on his cheek. 

The event reached it's climax with Lee joining DJ Aero at the mixpult to play a drum machine. All assembled, together with Mitchell Binder (King Baby Studio) were simply thrilled with the Lee/DJ Aero combo as the pair proceeded to tear the roof off.

One of the best known producers and DJ's of house music DJ, Robbie Rivera is currently on his “Closer to the Sun” tour which kicked off at the end of October last year. “Closer to the Sun” is his latest studio album which has received a lot of great reviews.

Other great dance hits presented on this album include “Rock the Disco” enriched with the famous Rivera electro sound, “Your Door” with a touch of R&B, “Keep on Going”, “6AM” and a hymn alike “We Live For The Music”.[more]

During the weekend Paris Hilton celebrated her 29th birthday @ Tao nightclub, a famous nightspot located in Las Vegas. Being at the spotlight, Paris was in a company of her parents, Kathy and Rick Hilton and Doug Reinhardt, her boyfriend. Can you guess what kind of shape her giant birthday cake had?

Shoe boxes! Isn’t that a surprise!

Paris attends most of the exclusive parties and is almost a daily headline in the gossip press. We can’t really say she minds it. During her birthday party her ex Brandon Davis arrived unexpectedly and the party turned into chaos as Doug Reinhardt got him thrown out, after a fight he had with Paris. Good thing is that Paris knows how to patch things up so by the end of the evening both she and Doug had a smile on their faces.

Haven't seen your favorite bartender in the bar or nightclub you usually hang out at in a while? You might want to check out a red carpet event near you, she might have elevated her status to celebrity arm candy. Bartenders are a hot commodity in the eyes of celebrities and lately superstar golf athletes. Here's a list of some noteworthy celebrity-bartender hookups.
[more]

1. Take Hollywood hottie, Matt Damon, for instance. In 2005, he married Argentinean girlfriend Lucianna Barroso during a private ceremony in New York City. They met while she was working as a bartender in Miami Beach, Florida. They remain happily married.
   
   
2. Other Hollywood heart-throb, George Clooney, ended his relationship with ex-barmaid Sarah Larson after nearly one year of romance.  They met while she was working at The Whiskey Bar in Las Vegas but things didn’t allegedly get serious until June 2007 when they ran into each other at the premiere of Ocean’s Thirteen. The cocktail waitress turned model had been enjoying a loftier lifestyle with Clooney, hobnobbing with the likes of the Dalai Lama and Mikhail Gorbachev. No worries, Larson seems to have rebounded nicely when she attended the Sundance Film Festival in 2009 and was seen fraternizing with Ryan Cabrera.
   
   
3. Ryan Seacrest has been romancing L.A. bartender Jasmine Waltz. They met during a night out at Guy's, a West Hollywood lounge. Waltz had previously worked at other L.A. hotspots including Les Deux and the Italian restaurant Bella. For the moment, they are still together.  
   
   
4. At 19, Drew Barrymore married bartender Jeremy Thomas, 12 years her senior. Her romance was short-lived and she filed for divorce two months later, in 1994.
   
   
5. Neve Campbell of Scream, Scream 2 and Scream 3 infamy met Jeff Colt, a bartender at the theater in which she performed. They soon fell in love and moved in together in 1990, when Neve was 17. They were married in 1995 in England's Westminster Cathedral, but amicably got divorced three years later.
    
   

These unlikely pairings may seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. At first glance it may appear to be a means to an end for the bartender or the appeal of "keeping it real" for the celebrity. I beg to differ. Bartenders and celebrities have a lot in common--they both need to feel comfortable putting on a show. Just as an actor draws the audience into a dramatic world, a bartender creates a theatrical experience for those sitting at the bar. Whatever the case, who are we to judge celebrities and their hall of foam?
