There was a barrage
of birthdays last weekend, and it took a trip to New York City for
me to really party like a Taurus. The running with the bulls began
Friday night on South Beach, where Harvey Keitel celebrated
turning 875 years old at Social Miami at the Sagamore Hotel.
In town filming
My Sexiest Year, Keitel was joined by castmates Frankie Muniz
(left with fiance Jamie), Ryan Cabrera, Amber
Valletta, Nick Zano, Karolina Kurkova and
Rachel Specter to celebrate the big day. The crew downed Patron
shots and champagne while munching on all the Social Miami treats
before blowing out the candles on the celebration. Celebrity
photographer Seth Browarnik also celebrated his 28th birthday
at the popular Social Miami party. A cabana filled with 200 of
Browarnik’s closest friends also downed Patron before moving to
Mansion. Throughout the night the group went through three bottles
of Patron and cameras were almost lost.
On Saturday night,
up in New York City, Sopranos hottie Jamie Lynn Sigler
celebrated her 25th birthday at a jam-packed party at Marquee.
Friends, including TV brother Robert Iler and ’N Sync-er
Lance Bass joined Sigler in jamming along to hip-hop and rock
music and absorbing ample amounts of Level vodka and whatever shots
were being served up. Among the posse was Sigler’s new dude Scott
Sartiano, Marquee’s Noah Tepperberg, Richie Akiva
and representing the 305, Opium Group’s Chris Jones. Iler
stole the show though, as he hopped on the table and belted out rock
hits like Outfield’s “Your Love” before feeding Sigler one of the
mini-cupcakes brought out in honor of the birthday. The party moved
to G Spa at the Hotel Gansevoort around 2:30 a.m. and continued at
the spa-turned-nightclub until the early morning hours. By then I
was pretty blacked out, so details are sparse.
Over at Cain —
another NYC hotspot — on Saturday night, former NBA bad boy
Dennis Rodman celebrated his 45th birthday as only Rodman could,
with a wild and crazy blow out that ultimately led to him taking off
his shirt and banging on the drums at the club until 5 a.m. Queer
Eye star Jai Rodriguez was among the crowd, who helped
blow out candles on a cake sporting D-Rod’s mug.
MUNIZ IN THE MIDDLE
After Social Miami,
the cast members of My Sexiest Year headed downtown to Studio
A Friday night for the Revolver party spearheaded by the team at
Supermarket Miami. Things were not so great for Frankie Muniz,
who, sources say, stepped in the middle of a fight between his
security and a club bouncer who wouldn’t let his fiancée, Jamie
Gandy, into the VIP section. Eventually the Malcolm in the Middle
star got his girl in and the couple partied alongside Ryan
Cabrera, Karolina Kurkova and Amber Valletta.
Those of legal drinking age took down Heinekens, while Muniz could
only dream of one day kicking back with a cold one after rescuing
his lady from mixing with the common folk.
NEW RELATIONSHIP
ICY HOT AT MANSION
Elisha Cuthbert,
the sexy star of The Girl Next Door who currently stars in
the hit show 24, hosted the Friday night fete at Mansion. The
actress spent most of the evening snuggled up with boyfriend Sean
Avery of the Los Angeles Kings at a table in the VIP section.
When not smooching with the hockey stud, Cuthbert partied alongside
David Grutman and Navin Chatani and joined a packed
house in dancing along to the hip-hop beats provided by DJ Irie and
Mr. Mauricio.
LIVE MUSIC ON
LINCOLN
I swung by the
Miami Live party at Santo on Wednesday night to check out the action
and I was totally impressed. The party, thrown by Michael Madd,
Louis Oliver, Jimmy Henchmen and Abebe Lewis
and hosted by Lorenzo “Ice-T” Thomas of 99 Jamz each week
combines dinner party-style fun and live music — a rarity among the
South Beach party scene. DJ Affect works the turntables and
acts like Pretty Ricky, Truth Hurts, John Ross,
K-Dub, Big D and a number of hip-hop and R&B acts have
performed already. Smitty took the stage last week and performed
“Diamonds on My Neck” for the crowd. Everything is unannounced so
you never know who will turn out. Check it out.
UPCOMING...IN THE
HAMPTONS
As summer starts to
roll in, it’s time to start planning your “get out of Miami”
vacations. Always a hotspot among the party-hoppers is the Hamptons,
where the celebs frolic through the Long Island sands by day and
booze uncontrollably at night. If you’re starting your summer this
Memorial Day (as many Miamians do) check out Boutique, co-owned by
Matt Heien, a familiar face on the South Beach scene. This year the
Bridgehampton lounge will cater to the IT crowd under the direction
of Blue & Cream owner Jeffrey Goldstein’s protégés Ben Grieff and
David Marino. Speaking of Blue & Cream, the boutique owned by
Goldstein and Kira Cohen, it’s a fun place to both shop and drink,
with cocktail parties drawing the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker,
Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul McCartney and of course the Olsen girls.
For late-night fun,
check out the all new Cain Southampton Club, the satellite spot of
the popular Chelsea nightclub owned by Jamie Mulholland. Opening its
doors with a Memorial Day bash, expect the club (located in the
former Jet East space) to import Cain’s signature dancers and
drummers as well as an array of international DJs and a roster of
high-profile events.
