Last night:

• Grande Opening of The Beverly – this new lounge from Brent Bolthouse, Guy Starkman and Darren Dzienciol – who together also brought you Trousdale – had their official grand opening last night. We at the Truffle always like to get in clubs for sneak-peeks WAY before they open so we were there last week for a pre-opening party. The Beverly being a small venue with large names attached has planned two grand openings in order to accommodate their guests. Interesting guests last night include: Alex von Furstenberg, Jay Luchs, Jason Pomeranc, Grace Fernandez, Harry Morton, etc. Pictures to follow!
• Grand Opening for Annenberg Beauty Culture Exhibit – it’s not often you spot Giselle Bundchen in L.A. (even though she lives in Brentwood with husband Tom Brady) … quite a big “get” for any party (leave to The A List, I’m guessing since we saw Blake Wassenaar at the door) and massive crowd pleaser for the L.A. art world who came out for Wallis Annenberg’s new exhibit at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City. Extra tents were set up to handle the crowd and a surprise strip tease from Dita Von Teese. Interesting guests include: Halle Berry, Katie Holmes, Peggy Moffitt, Petra Nemcova, Alek Wek, Kirsty Hume. Pictures to follow!
• Grand re-opening of Maison140 Beverly Hills – not much info on this expect that the hotel is darling and it “re-opened” last night. If you have info on this send it to our tip line.
• Hangover 2 premieres in Hollywood – some say Zacy G was in pre-hanger mode. Interesting guests include: cast leads Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Ed Helms, Ken Jeong and Mike Tyson, as well as Robert Downey Jr., Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jason Bateman, and Kristen Bell.

This past week:

• Judith Leiber Lunch at LACMA – a rare West Coast appearance by Judith Leiber brought hundreds of women to the Bing Theatre at LACMA Wednesday afternoon for a Q&A with Cameron Silver about her life, her work and her self-published book on the heritage of Judith Leiber. The LACMA Costume Council put this event together along with a fundraiser the night before in the Judith Leiber store where member were given the deal of a lifetime – 100 bags for $100 each.

Coming up this week:

• Forever 21 new store opening in the Beverly Center
• 2011 Cedars Sinai Sports Spectacular
• Street art doc Outside In: The Story of Art in the Streets sneak peek and premiere
• Hollywood Life Awards in downtown L.A.
• Midnight in Paris premiere at the Samuel Goldwyn theater in Beverly Hills
• The Tree of Life screening at SOHO House followed Q&A with Dave Karger (Los Angeles Weekly) and Jessica Chastain and Bill Pohlad from the film.
