Hef Swings Deep Into the Night

Hugh Hefner is so short, but what he lacks in stature, he more than makes up for in enthusiasm. The great Playboy mogul and his buxom entourage danced the night away at Deep’s first anniversary party in Hollywood on Tuesday of last week. I was there with my friend Kittylicious, who ran into her friend Vince Vaughn, and we ducked out just in time to see the stalkarazzi following Mark Wahlberg to valet.

Along the way, we chanced upon those Star Shoes hipsters, Paul Devitt and Johnnie Nixon, who also popped into Deep to get an eyeful of the eye candy. Deep doorman Eric Elle had his work cut out for him that evening, and truly it was a stellar night. It started out with a romp at the Key Club, where I witnessed my homegirl Texas Terri rock so hard, she earned a whole new group of fans....The night’s headliners, the Toilet Boys, were kind enough to let me use the backstage loo right before they started their set. Sometimes, the irony runs deep.... Kitten and I then ran into boy toy Josh Richman, who escorted us into the Viper Room for a secret show by Weezer (thus the “Pinkerton” reference in last week’s Buzz).

The Weez was on hand to debut 15 new songs, and the line stretched so far down Sunset Boulevard the kids could window-shop at the Hustler store. I almost missed the show because I ran into me mate Cisco, who tells me Mark Mahoney opened his own tattoo parlor, called Shamrock, across the street from the Key Club. According to Cisco, Mark’s cultivating a crew of creme de la creme inkslingers. Irish eyes are smiling indeed.

Speaking of Irishmen, Bono and Heather Graham boogied down at Grand Ville on Saturday night.... The lovely Aurelito and Shakespeare--who promote the soulful hip-hop club Chocolate Bar--debuted their band, One Love, on Thursday at the El Rey Theatre before turning the stage over to the legendary Lee Scratch Perry.... Alas, my heart belonged to the Palace in Hollywood on Thursday, where I basked in the glory of One Man Army, Madcap, Flogging Molly and the Bouncing Souls. I’m still dancing a jig.
