Greenhouse in NYC hits the racist lawsuit trifecta

Greenhouse-NYC-Club

The popular NYC nightclub Greenhouse has yet another racism lawsuit on their hands. What’s the count now? I remember reporting on two past incidents – one experienced personally, the other – the first of these lawsuits. Now, according to the New York Post, four more people are suing the nightclub for allegedly turning them away because they were black or Hispanic.

Cynthia Toro, Lisbet Fernandez, Brenda Reyes and Claribel Reyes say they were “very hurt and disappointed” when they were shut out from a friend’s birthday at Greenhouse on Varick Street. Now, what’s interesting about this case is that all four were ladies going to a birthday party – two conditions that usually are quite good for entry and when combined virtually guarantee you access. But apparently not this time.

Another thing that I found interesting was this was the 3rd Greenhouse racism lawsuit, but only the 2nd I heard of. Wow, it is getting difficult to keep up. I am setting the over/under for NYC club racism lawsuits to 5 for 2010.

And, as expected, a spokeswoman for Greenhouse called the current suit “frivolous,” and “an attempt to piggyback on past allegations long proven false.” Juicy lawsuits, time to break out the Michael Jackson popcorn picture and see how this plays out.

Forget The Hills – MTV set to debut show about life in a Jersey Shore beachhouse

I think I will let this promo clip speak for itself.

While it might be a challenge to stumble onto spoiled rich kids in everyday life, as someone that lives in New York City it  is far less challenging to stumble onto  one of these guys:

guidos-look-like-women

Yep, not challenging at all. This phenomenon, documented by such awesome sites like hotchickswithdouchebags.com and thedirty.com, is spreading. From New York, To New Jersey, and as far as Miami and Arizona, this is the bright future of our nation.

Here is the scarce information I have on the show – it will have 8 people living in a Jersey beach house from the Tri State area. The show will feature all the douchebaggery  we are accustomed to – loud brash behavior, overuse of hair gel and self tanner, and, from what appears in the trailer, a girl  kicking a cop. Now, unlike Laguna Beach and its spin offs, which had a “discovered” and random cast, there were actually AUDITIONS for this show. I will try to contact the person I heard auditioned and get back to you soon.

Now, two things about  this upset me – the fact that they held auditions means that they chose the wildest and loudest people for television, which means that such douche behavior  will be rewarded, encouraged, and will spread further. Second – remember my article on how much the cast of the Hills makes? Imagine douchebags like this being paid 40-100 thousand dollars PER EPISODE. Now imagine what this will do to their already inflated egoes.

Maybe this whole 2012 thing isn’t so crazy after all

Tavern on the Green Halloween Fiasco – this is why I don’t purchase tickets.

Flash back to a few days before Halloween, and my facebook inbox was exploding with invites to a “once in a lifetime” Halloween party at Tavern on the Green. It seems like everyone and their mom wanted me to be  at this party for the now broke New York City landmark which was trying to re-establish itself as a night spot. And then this happened (you know its serious when local news broadcasts a story on it)

Editors note: The girl at 45 seconds of the video totally looks like the kind of person that would sue for not having her starbucks lid on tight enough.
In the midst of ever present finger pointing, it turns out that many people were sold counterfeit tickets, and the main guys responsible – a certain Alex and Leo Entertainment – pretty much exploded. Now, as always happens in the digital age - a facebook group was created for this mess, and things just became a little more hilarious.

As expected, the promoters now have their phones forwarding calls to Tavern on the Green, Tavern on the Green is blaming the promoters.

Certain guests were stuck waiting up to 5 hours till the police shut the party down at about 1:30, leaving lots of girls with slutty outfits completely sober and accountable for their actions.

Halloween Ticket HMH

There is information on the facebook page about how to get a refund, so if you got screwed over, check them out.

The funniest part of all of this comes from the local news. There is a segment on the local news called “Help Me Howard” where a large intimidating guy yells at bad people. He was covering this fiasco yesterday, and, according to a friend that saw the report, visited one of their houses in Queens but was told they have the swine flu.  For the love of everything awesome please help me find that video.

Here’s a pic of what went on outside:

boo

That looks like fun.

Editor’s note: Tavern on the Green is an extremely old and needlessly expensive NYC restaurant that recently tried to bill itself as a nightclub in the evenings to make some money during the recession (people don’t want to buy overpriced food? Noooooo). I’ve been there a few times, and almost every single time it was packed with the Russian equivalent of Guidos. Is there a word for that?

yes just like that

yes just like that

Diddy, no pants, no pants

See, this is how I like to see a celebrity roll – no pants in the club and not giving a fuck.

e781f6_full

So there you go ladies and gentlemen. Is this supposed to be some sort of message about how men shouldn’t sag their pants too low? Were’ Diddy’s pants constricting? Is he trying to produce a faster version of his show “I wanna work for diddy” in a casting couch situation? Who knows.

The whole thing went down at Quo in NYC. Picture courtesy of Eddy Shades – photographer and promoter at http://eddyshades.freshparties.com/ Go to his parties and you’ll prolly end up with a once in a lifetime celeb pic:-)

Drunk Empire State of Mind – A-Rod and Posada celebrate world series win

Congratulations to the New York Yankees! While Joe Girardi was busy saving stranded motorists, it seems like A-Rod and Posada were busy saving thirsty and horny girls from both of those things.

The scene went down at 1Oak, formerly on here for underage girls and shameless celebs. Speaking of shameless, but in a slight somewhat innocent way – A-Rod leans over to give a girl a kiss – and it’s not Kate Hudson! Drama!

A-Rod cares not for drama, only nipple rubs

Greenhouse being sued for a billion dollars over racism. Remember when I first called em on it?

Greenhouse-NYC-Club

Remember when I first started the site, and wanted to test out how well some promoters do at Greenhouse, and witnessed honest to goodness racism happen right in front of me? Well, as it turns out, this was no isolated incident.

The New York Post reports that two people – Kashan Robinson, Maria Sicard, were denied entry to the Teri Woods book party at Greenhouse because of their race. How did they come to this conclusion? Because loads of white patrons were being let in to the club, which was seemingly uncrowded at the time.

Damn Greenhouse, I’m sorry, but you fucked up. Because the first time – it was a dude with two ladies, who probably didn’t care about your policies and went home to make love to these two ladies.

But now, you have two pissed off people with time and money on their hands. Good luck

Tonight, I hit up “Perle”

perle

With all the craziness that’s been going on with me the past few weeks, it’s always nice to relax. I’ve been blessed with the fact that I live and work in neighborhoods that have some serious places when it comes to all my relaxation needs (thanks to them, a bad day at work never turns into a bad evening after). But that sort of tight coverage has been missing from the Financial District (at least as far as I’ve heard), but hopefully that streak iwll come to an end this evening.

I was invited to hit up the opening of “Perle” on 62 Pearl street tonight, located deep in the financial district, and barring any extreme situations at work, I will definitely be there. The place was hyped as a being good for pretty much every occasion, from post work happy hour to a dinner for two, which we all know are two completely different vibes (at least for me lol). I’ll post up about how I liked it, as well as future events, etc, in the next few days.

I was also promised there would be “infused” champagne and cocktails. There is only one thing i think about when I hear “infused”.

XZIBITsalad

X to the Z X-Zibit AND Vince in one pic! Now THAT’s infused.

And of course, the other reason I’m attending is because the people at Valsecrets.com are sponsoring. Two things you gotta know about Val Secrets. Their owner – Valeria Tignini, is all about hooking up the ladies of the word with an awesome, supportive environment to share, grow, and do all sorts of positive stuff. Second – every single event they sponsor is packed to the brim with gorgeous, yet extremely down to earth girls that share her positive vibe. Heck, that’s where I met my girlfriend. So for positivity and people, there’s no better spot than a valsecrets.com sponsored party!

Anyway, back to work, I gotta make this event!

NYC cabbie VS NYC pedicab driver brawl. Round 1 – FIGHT!


A fox news camera happened to be outside the Ed Sullivan theater in NYC yesterday to capture all of the action, as the cabbie and the pedicab driver go all Ryu and Ken on each other. The fox reporter and an Entertainment Tonight photographer actually end up breaking up the brawl, so now the only thing to do is sit and wait while the rest of the internet hears about this.

I love NYC

A Stress free night at the Trump World Bar? Oh I gotta see this (Saturday)

baubles_Cocktail-Trump_05

I got way too many invites to stuff on my facebook (it’s holding steady at 72 right now), so I’m happy I actually started looking through them this morning, because I found an invite to Trump World bar (which I heard was trying to re-invent itself) and it promised a stress free night! And anytime someone promises a stress free night at an awesome place, I take notice.

Plus, the guys that are running the show – I actually grew up at one point or another with all 3 of them! So when someone you’ve known for over a decade tells you something, you listen

HUGE PLUS: There is no ratio BS, there are comps, so all you groups of dudes looking to get your mack on to a well dressed lady, go right ahead (you know I’ll be^_^)

There are two catches -  this place prides itself on “dress to impress”, so, dress to impress! And you gotta confirm with the guys running the show. Call em or email em, because without a confirmation, all this wonderful free stuff might not happen. Anyway, here’s how to get to em (and don’t forget to tell them celebrityclubber.com sent you). Peace
