And The Coolest Nightclub King is…
Nick Russian of Eve with a friend.
Yes, it is Nick Russian of Melbourne’s lavish new nightclub Eve in Southbank. Russian scored the most votes by far and beat the list of contenders including Justin Hemmes (Hemmesphere), Phil Cawood (Ruby Rabbit), Dave Evans (Hugo’s) and Darren (Razzle) Thornburgh of Boutique .
According to our panel of judges including fragrant racing identity, Judy Romano, event supremo Wayne Noorman and dedicated diamond consumer, Gina G, the reader who best summed it up is Sal Leanne Marsden who pronounced Eve stylish and sophisticated while she said that Nick Russian himself was very good value. Sal Leanne wins a fab giftpack of Narcisso Rodriguez perfumes, courtesy of Cosmax. Congrats.

Celebrity Index - Jess and Peter Go Local
Nine’s most high profile , pregnant mum Jessica Rowe and husband, Sixty Minutes’ hound, Peter Overton, were not exactly living it up last night. They had an early dinner at Rose Bay Chinese restaurant, May Kwai - which has been dishing up the same prawn cutlets and beef’n'blackbean in the area for decades. Perhaps Rowe, who escaped being boned by Eddie McGuire but not the public humiliation, had a bizarre craving for deep fried chow mein?
Also seen out was celeb chef, Luke Mangan sharing an intimate dinner at his Sydney city restaurant, Glass with his ex-Nicola G , who now works with Sir Richard Branson as his personal assistant. She may return here in Christmas when Tricky Dicky pulls up here with his family for at least six weeks.

Paris Hilton’s LA.
Paris and Nicky Hilton with Nick G - not a recommended travelling companion.
Global glamazon, Paris Hilton has been getting a little bored with LA lately, according to one of our special operatives but this is where she likes to hang out when she is not dodging people like Lindsay Lohan.
Kitson: 115 South Robertson Boulevard.
The store that started the craze for Team Aniston and Team Jolie T-shirts, is filled with celebutantes, kitsch gifts, Paris’ approved tank tops, swimwear, ugh boots, wedges as well as great handbags and jewels. The walls are plastered with pictures of the famous and fabulous wearing Kitson items.
Fred Segal: 8100 Melrose Avenue
Pure West Coast’ hip with many mini boutiques under one roof. Expect to find all the latest labels and trends - everything from T-shirts and shoes to beauty products. (Paris Hilton was spotted buying tan towels here - yes, folks in California even the terry towelling has to be bronzed up). Try a pomegranate smoothie from the cafe at Fred Segal which is where our operative met Paris.
Koi: 730 North La Cienega Boulevard
This Japanese fusion restaurant has great food, a cool atmosphere and lethal cocktails.
Mr Chow: 344 North Camden Drive
Ignroe the paparazzi outside and enjoy the delicious Chinese food and ultra hip vibe. The tables are quite close together - so you will soon have all the goss worth knowing. Don’t make the mistake of asking for a menu like a bogan. Leave your meal up to your waiters .
The Roosevelt: 7000 Hollywood Boulevard.
This hotel was a favourite of both Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe and was the birthplace of the Academy Awards. Go there for evening drinks and lounge by the pool with a cocktail on one of the outdoor couches and large, floor cushions (don’t even think about getting down on one of those if you are in danger of a wardrobe malfunction though).
