Greek Godfather: During the week, we take care of ourselves, we work out and stuff, but on the weekends, we let go. There’s a restaurant we go to called Taverna Tony’s in Malibu, a great restaurant. Tony is kind of a godfather to my wife [actress Rebecca Romijn-Stamos] and me, and we love it there. It’s a fun place, about a block or so from the beach. He makes great lamb and Tony is the greatest host ever. You come in and say, “I feel like this,” and the next thing you know, it’s in front of you. We can go sit outside and drink a bottle of wine.

Getting Down: We have a group of friends who start at our house on Friday and then don’t leave until Sunday or Monday. We like to have dance parties. We have a pool table that is never used for pool, only for dancing. We call it Dance Party USA, and you can dance anywhere, but you can’t touch the ground. You can dance on the piano or tables, but not the floor.

Hot Spot: I like to go to the Whiskey Bar, in the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood. That’s a fun place. It’s dark and there’s some drinking involved. It’s a very small, tiny place, so you’re sitting right on top of people. [Cindy Crawford’s husband] Randy Gerber owns it, I think. You always run into fun people, and there’s always trouble to be had there. In the Dark: In the Valley there’s a place called Casa Vega. I like to go there for the margaritas. It’s so dark in there. I like to sit near the door, because it’s so bright outside and dark inside that everyone trips when they come in.

Dinner Hour: Most weekends I go home to visit my family in Orange County, in Cypress. Usually we have a family dinner on Sunday and my sisters will come around with their kids and husbands, so it’s a decent-sized group. My friends come around too, and my mom stays up all night with my friends.
