:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

gary or dave from Cyberage they have the connections

I just called my hollywood publicist best friend and he said good luck. I tried for you man. I tried.

Not going to happen....

never thought you to be the faithless type...but at this point, it doesnt look like a walk in the park, thanks for the advice juicy

thanks for trying

It's always been that if he can't get in, no one can get in. Since we were kids.

Not going to happen.

Not going to happen.


We can do about anywhere but there. I personally don't enjoy pretention anyhow, so never tried to go. The celebrity thing is a turn off to me.

KB might be able to hook it up. Not sure.

gotcha, so cory this isnt like the thing in LA last year where we were talking about getting into some club mfm wanted to go to, and you said there was no way we would all get in, and the busboy at 25 degrees said he was going there with a bunch of friends that night ;)

cool, looks like a pretty tough spot, thanks for the response


its been too long a1rek... :)

Call me naive, but I've been lucky just calling clubs and getting a table (it won't be cheap though).

Sometimes the easiest approach is, well, the easiest approach.

see you in a few days mano.

:thumbsup

this place isn't a club. its like a clicky private social club for hollywood Alisters.

they don't even let recognizable celebs in sometimes if you're b list or below.

from what i hear from a few girls i know its really pretentious and people sit around staring at each other all night. LOL.

i'll take Area or le deux anyday. i call le deux poontang village.

LA and Hollywood is a different animal than most. Some places in NY can relate, other than that you need to go to certain places in Europe to match it.

This place is more than likely not where you will find a good time "hanging out". So why bother...

If you do bother, hop on a plane - depart too early, find a bar and get drunk - just as fun!

PS. Stay away from the remote!!!

I've seen footage on TMZ of some hollywood clubs like Hyde even denying celebrities like Tara Reid,video footage here http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?t...annel=18906245
Click above to see Tara Reid denied admittance to a club!

ex playboy playmate Shauna Sands was denied before and Audrina Patridge who is a reality tv show star from MTV the hills http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/cele...b-snub-202756/ was denied even though The Hills is a BIG mtv hit!

and even Brandon and Jason Davis who are the sons of a billionaire tycoon and Brandon regularly hangs out with Paris Hilton yet they were denied too.

At these clubs its not enough to be hot or rich but you have to be like A-list or B-list celeb, if your d-list like Tara Reid will get denied too. Even famous people like Tara Reid get denied so if you're not star you won't get in.

Villa is like the new Hyde, I always see papparazi footage of stars like Justin Timberlake and Paris going there.

Doesn't work all the time, Villa is small and they are doing everything right now just to get the hype, they don't care about the money.

But if you do want to spend some of that hard earned money on tables. Let me know, I just happen to have a little pull in Hollywood. :thumbsup

Look at all the people denied at Hyde
http://video.aol.com/video-category/...at-hyde/101192

They also denied Jody Sweetin who played Stephanie on Full House and Bobby Brown too.

Just bring money.. lots of it.

It's not enough to bring money. They even deny celebs. they denied the brandon brothers who are heir to a billion dollar fortune and hang out with paris hilton regularly.

Also you can show up at the club owners home and put a few holes into him. When the club switches hands it might have a more relaxed entrance protocol. If not, try whacking the new owner(s) until the proper protocol is achieved.

Villa is a celebrity style Hyde spot however thats usually mostly on weekdays... Monday and Tuesday are generally the celebrity nights.

The bouncer looked us up and down 3 times before he let us in... and we were 3 girls.

Either way.. you might try and get a table on Saturdays... they may not be as strict.

Good luck.

Did you get in on celebrity night or regular night?

Yeah well they arent that close... when we were there Paris Hilton was inside and The Fat Davis was blocked entrance OUTSIDE!

So much for friends....

Unlike most exclusive clubs teeming with celebrities, Villa doesn?t have a velvet rope. Instead it has a big, heavy door, and unless the owner or an investor has personally invited you, you won't get in?not even if you name-drop. In fact, the valet won?t even park your car until the discerning doorman has given the thumbs-up.

Those lucky enough to gain entrance to this 140-capacity-club are whisked into a space that feels like a Hollywood Hills mansion, complete with a library of old books. Most of the patrons?power players, trust-fund kids?seem to already know each other, and if they don?t, they?ve certainly seen their movies (Jamie Foxx), watched them on TV (Kevin Connolly) or read about them in the rags (Paris Hilton, Avril Lavigne). Together they sip classic cocktails and expensive champagne before hitting the small dance floor, where Top 40 and hip-hop inspire heartbeats to rise.

Of course, the girls look hot in their Louboutins, but the staff here is just as stunning as the crowd. The cocktail waitresses, dressed in vintage-style riding jackets and short shorts, have tongues wagging, and the vest-clad bartenders keep a steady crowd around the bar.

Far from minimalist, the club is full of unique details. Huge buffalo and bear busts are mounted above the bar; a human-size birdcage is set into the wall; and an installation of white ropes hangs from the ceiling, giving the impression of a chandelier. In keeping with the rich décor, on the second floor there are white couches and even a "bed" which can be pushed out like a stage and suspended over the dance floor. The best part: a white-tailed deer butt mounted above a doorframe. Cheeky, no?

The history: Villa is located in the space that used to house Monroe's, but the bar itself is rumored to have been a speakeasy during Prohibition.

The pedigree: Owner Reza Roohi was the visionary behind SBE?s most high-profile projects like Katsuya before leaving to start his own nightlife enterprise. He brought with him celeb wranglers Chuck Pacheco and Vincent Laresca (best known as "Chuck & Vinny"), Stephan Fernandez and Skyler Reeves.

Breaking the rules: You know how most clubs won't let anyone inside until there's enough of a scene outside to intrigue people passing by? At Villa, you won't find such a line snaking around the building, as to preserve its hideaway vibe. As Heidi Klum would say: "You?re either in, or you're out."


A review


Villa is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

All I can say is, WOW!

I was invited to go to Villa last Friday night by my good friend, and I honestly want to tell you that its an amazing place once you get inside (not very big at all though - think Hyde). I would say that if you are not on the guest list keep driving, because the valets won't even park your car unless your name is on the list. Didn't really see any celebs, but everyone inside looked as if they had stepped out of GQ, or Vanity Fair magazine.

My only problem is (just like Hyde) these smaller places REALLY hit you in the pocket as far as drink prices are concerned.

Overall, I would say that you must visit this venue at least once.

Celebrity night.

Why not just buy the place and then go in ;)

Just left a voicemail for Reza... hopefully will hear back from him before sat.

U cannot get into Villa unless you know the owners personally and they have you on tehir list.
I have seen many A listers rejected from that club.

No amount of money can get you in either it's purely a social spot for celebrities.
I am meeting the owners this week through a mutual friend but not until after the show unfortunately.

I am going next Thursday

That's the kind of place where I really don't want to be.
I like classy places but I fucking hate snobs.

Nice clubs like opera welcome us with open hands (and a bottle on the house to start the night) when we go, so why the fuck would I wanna go there ?

Call Ron Cadwell ... I am sure he knows a few people that can get your in.

My 2 cents on Villa.

Even Opera is a bit too much for me. Fun if you feel like ordering bottles, but fucking crowded. That place is just huge and the peeps inside are really clubbers.

:pimp:pimp:pimp

MArk it wwill happen

Dave and Gary are pimps and have massive dongs

Is Jude Law A-list? ... because Corvette looks alot like him :)




You should be going to Daves club instead!

Mark- Cory never told you what happened that night?
That may have been the night he lost faith ...
It's a funny story, you should ask him about it!

PS if many of you reading this board think they are going club hopping this weekend in LA...

There is something you will need to know about getting into clubs.
The Pollstar Awards are in town as well as the Grammy's are Sunday.

Most hotels are booked and you can bet all the great clubs u hoped you could get into will be nextto impossible.

This is one hell of a week to throw the XBIZ Awards-
There should be tons of celebrity sightings for all of you midwesterners coming in to get a pic with Paris...

It's the Davis brothers- " Greasy Bear and Gummi Bear"
Brandon and Jason

They are like the Blatt Bros only with more money, less class, and not as pretty
:-))

thanks for the feedback guys

i bet it doesn't happen.

besides, ritual, cabana club, les deux, and area all all so much more fun.

fuck that celebrity shit. those people are cocks that hang out in that circle. so fucking pretentious and snooty. when i'm around that crowd i want to puke.

Agree on both points.

I made a call for you Mark. I will let you know, but I wouldn't plan on it. And like Airek said, they probably will not have as good of time there.

Eh, if you decide to fly to NY i can help you out, not LA though :(

I asked my buddy that's a promoter in Hollywood if there's anything he can do.

It all depends on why you want to go to a club...to feel cool that you are sitting next to a celeb and get star struck, or to go out and party and have fun with your friends. I cater to both, and friends are much more fun to party with. :thumbsup
