Seems like the Hotel Chelsea residents have long been at battle with the clubs that open in the basement of the building. This used to be the case with Serena (which was owned by Anna Wintour's stepson/Minnie Driver's cousin) and now with Star Lounge (which has opened in its place).

Before getting cast on the Surreal Life, going to rehab, getting engaged...or whatever else celebrities do while white knuckling on to their career and/or become "edgier", they go to Misshapes. Love it or hate it, this party gets more press than some of it's guest stars on the decks.

- And when you're walking along Spring Street, wondering who the guy wearing the really tight, kinda gay leather jacket and the girl in tatty-ho clothing, trying to walk right into oncoming traffic, you better realize it's Jude Law and Sienna Miller, spasticly trying to get to their chauffered black SUV (poor picture above)
