A special invitation from your friends at Shag...

 

Spend all week picketing for internet residuals, begging your mom to send you a sweater and some gloves, or showing up everywhere an hour early? Here’s what we were talking about behind your back…compiled by your friends and frenemies at 1835 Cahuenga:

Lebron James Hosts SHAG’s Saturday Night

 

Bring out the trumpeters and the throne! Last week we hinted at it, this week we’ll shove it in your face and down your throat like an NBA Phenom driving to the hoop to dunk. 

 

LeBron James, is not only the heir to the NBA’s most famous #23 of all time, Mr. Jordan.  He is also a SHAG regular when he comes to embarrass the Lakers and Clippers twice a year here in town.  After playing Sacramento on Friday, he’ll come rest his 17 ft. legs in SHAG’s VIP this Saturday night, November 10th. He’s hosting Starlight Saturday.  FYI: Our guy Mark Da Spot only rolls with royalty. He is the new king of pop, Justin Timberlake’s touring DJ and now the NBA king’s social secretary as well.  I don’t know much about the Clippers, but I feel pretty confident that one can party at SHAG and still wake up to beat the “other LA basketball team” the next day. See Lebron do it live on Saturday night, and at Staples on Sunday.

 

Update: There are two tables that have opened for Lebron’s party on Saturday night. If you and your party (maximum 5 people) are still trying to get a table, please email/text ASAP.

 

Wayans Bro’s It Out

Jackie Long’s birthday at SHAG brought ‘em out at last Friday night.  Marlon Wayans (In Living Color ’92, Scary Movies 1-9) made it rain in VIP…with glass. While some people throw dollar bills, Marlon threw an armload of bottles at everyone in sight and on site. Drinking? Kelly Rowland, Scream star Duane Martin (who incidentally also played in the NBA with the Knicks briefly), and office girl Jess who had a spring break length romance with a certain Scary Movie co-star.  As we only write you love letters once a week, E! Channel’s Marc Malkin beat us to the presses. Read about it over here.

 

Paralyzed by Brad Pitt

 

 

 

 

As you know, we share a special relationship with our sister eatery, Parc. Last night, (Wednesday 11.7), Brad Pitt came to share a special relationship with the man in the kitchen, celebrity Chef J, and his food. (No Angie). In talks for an upcoming film, Brad had dinner with a potential future director (Kevin MacDonald, director of Academy Award winning “Last King of Scotland”/Forest Whitaker) on the way early side of the night.  The floor staff got so paralyzed, they couldn’t serve Brad’s table. In the end, Chef J had to wait Brad’s table himself!! By the way, Brad is a porcini mushroom and BBQ guy.

 

We would have given him a SHAG pass to come over for a drink without having to wait in line, but we were already locked up in the middle of loading in for a Tom Brady party tonight (Thursday night). It was a good night to be a girl, gay, or curious in the SHAG family all around.

 

The VIP diners seem to come in waves and we sensed we were building to something big.  Constance Zimmer (Studio Chick/Ari hater from Entourage) capped off last weekend on Sunday.  She ate for 2. The 8 month pregnant actress munched salad but, no cucumber martinis for her!

 

Earlier in the weekend, Heroes’ scary serial killer Sylar, Zachary Quinto, came in for a great meal with a bunch of friends he has known forever. The guys hung out as the dance floor filled up later to digest the scene.  Tonight, the full crew will eat there till nauseous as GM Louis is paying because the Boston Red Sox beat up his Colorado Rockies so painfully.

 

A special Tuesday sushi night with Chef J tag teaming with a guest celebrity chef is really taking off over there. Special for “Shout” readers is coming. More on this next week.

 

 

You Out Tonight?

As always, if you are heading out, make sure you text or email in advance so we can come grab you at the door.  For any night of the week, shoot an email to thelist@shaghollywood.com or hit the myspace before 4:45 PM.  (Wednesdays and Sundays you might find a “out buying Lebron size chairs” sign on the door, we’re closed…so keep it to yourself on those days)

 

Your BFF-FEAE,

Mikey “The CHIMP” Glazer and your friends at Shag Hollywood

 

P.S.    Have you already eaten all your Halloween candy? Still hungry? Don’t grab for a Snickers, lay a foundation of substance on your stomach before irrigating yourself with vodka for the night.  If you’re having dinner at our sister outlets Geisha House (323) 460-6300 or Parc (323.465.6200), ask your server for a SHAG pass, which will get you and your arriving party (up to 4 people) a “call-ahead” to SHAG so you wont have to wait in line or hang out in the cold with that new sweater your mom sent you.  As always, SHAG VIP card holders can always send us an email to get the 8:30 and 9PM reservations at Geisha or Parc, even if the nice actress on the other end can only squeeze you in at 6 or 10.  We can’t promise to squeeze you in to a Pitt-Jolie sandwich though!!
