The Boom Boom Room (otherwise known as the 18th Floor of The Standard Hotel) was packed last night with fashionistas, drag queens, fashion big-shots and the like celebrating V Magazine’s New York issue.

Kelly Osbourne canoodled with British model Isaac Carew at the Belvedere Vodka-sponsored bash after leaving Betsey Johnson’s show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Leighton Meester showed up in a beautiful ivory and blush mini-dress of layered lace by Marc Jacobs and all smiles (who saw the season premiere of Gossip Girl last night?!).

Drag diva extraordinaire Lady Bunny was in the corner of the party, spinning dance beats all night long. Other guests in attendance included Rachel Zoe (who was 'dying' ...

Located in LA’s prolific West Hollywod district, Palihouse Holloway is an innovative urban lodge, which combines the eclectic vibe of a boutique hotel with the elegance and comfort of a luxury residential dwelling. The venue touts itself as a luxury long-stay property, catering exclusively to sophisticated, in-the-know individuals, who desire to feel at home when they are away from it. Palihouse’s unique combination of liberated individuality, cosmopolitan style, and residential comfort makes it a lodging destination unlike any other in Tinseltown.

With Thirty- Six studio, one-and-two-bedroom guest suites and lofts, a roof deck for private functions, a courtyard brasserie, and an intimate lounge in the lobby, Palihouse boasts plenty of swank. The hotel’s suites feature stylish white chesterfield sofas, ...

With the balmy days dwindling, so are your chances to bare flesh publicly while bands play outdoors. For those not burnt out by the recent plague of local festivals, including Sunset Junction, Sunset Strip Festival, or Outside lands, get to Fuck Yeah Fest this weekend for another chance to don your denim cutoffs.

Nestled downtown just beside Chinatown, LA State Historic Park plays host to a plethora of indie outfits on Saturday, including UK dance hybrid scenesters The Rapture as well as !!!, New York’s Panda Bear of Animal Collective, L.A.'s very own overnight phenomenon Local Natives, actor Ryan Gosling's band Dead Man's Bones, and a huge collection of local groovers.

The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is upping the ante with yet another enhancement to their fabulous hotel, and we have never been more excited to tell you about something!

In addition to the hotel's launch of their new bar we told you about awhile back, the Spare Room (1920's game room motif complete with a bowling alley), owners Comedian Jeff Beacher and actor David Arquette have teamed up to give The Roosevelt 'Beacher's Madhouse', a Vaudeville-frenzied blowout taking over a renovated space on the hotel's lower level.

In a members only style (think La Descarga or Soho House), guests will enter through a hidden passageway (a bookcase, they tell us) into a 2,500-square foot space complete with a tiered ...

Behold The Saint, a cool, intimate lounge with a solid, polished crowd on the unlikely Fountain and Vine. You may remember it as Vine Bar (or you may not), a seedy, grimy rocker hole where musicians used to cavort. But former Vine Bar owners Johnny Maloney and Logan Fenton yearned for their hipster hangout to be so much more, and thus transformed the space into The Saint, which, according to Fenton, "feels like a New York bar. I hate L.A. bars."

The star of the show: a gorgeous beveled glass bar covered with lustrous religious candles, topped with massive chandeliers that generate the glow of a halo (the only nod to the bar’s religious name). Towards the ...

First & Hope is the kind of ultra swank hotspot that’s begging you to come and play on a night out. A glitzy “supper club” where the hostess wears a pearl colored gown, live jazz filters through the joint, and a purplish flush from the chrome and LED lights illuminates the tables. This new downtown restaurant, across from the Walt Disney Concert Hall, couples flashy ambiance with proto-Southern tavern food, and it’s working.

Inside you’ll find an L-shaped dining room filled with stylish booths and banquettes, large chandeliers, and a well dressed staff. The fully stocked bar is complemented by pearlescent walls and a curved ceiling. And to add to the glam, Mad Men assistant costume ...

Twi-hards were stoked last night when The Twilight Saga: New Moon won Film of the Year at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards and Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson won best female and male performer trophies as well as the best kiss award (after the always awkward Stewart tripped on her way to the stage and attempted an almost-kissing-tease-the-audience skit with Rob).

And, we were stoked last night when we stepped into Katy Perry’s MTV Movie Awards "California Girls" After Party at a Minx Society favorite Las Palmas in Hollywood. Despite the odd appearance made by the cast of Jersey Shore (which, we will admit, gave us a laugh or two), other guests included newly blonde ...

Spending a summer in the Hamptons has never been this easy. You can skip the plane ticket, forego the Jitney, and need not worry about finding beachside accommodations. Because the nightlife gurus at SBE (who brought you INDUSTRY, MI-6, and Hyde Lounge) are now unveiling their latest creation, The Colony, which promises a taste of the Hamptons in the heart of Hollywood.

When you see the outside of The Colony it’s hard to believe that it’s located right off of Cahuenga. A large patch of sand and a wood-plank ramp lead to the door, and a massive azure lifeguard stand is fixed at the entrance. Once inside you’ll find a blue-and-white floor that resembles the ...
