Valley view, with stars in our eyes

Nothing better than free-fallin’ in the Valley. I mean, the Sunset Strip staple, the Saddle Ranch Chop House, makes its debut Saturday at Universal CityWalk and a famous Hollywood he-hunk popped into the new Valley bar Sapphire, lured by the thumping sounds on its chock-full-o’-rock jukebox.... Not2mention, whilst cruising down Ventura Boulevard we rolled up next to Frankie Muniz, who was peacocking about in his slickster Maserati (there oughtta be a law!). And you’re not gonna believe dis: We rounded the corner and stumbled upon Erik Estrada muttering to himself outside of LensCrafters on Van Nuys Boulevard. Quicker than we could say, “Yo, Poncherello!” we spotted Harry Hamlin and his wife, Lisa Rinna, dipping into El Mercado for the Muy Rico (a.k.a. Gelson’s).

Tattoo lasts, as will zipped lips

Word up to the stalk-a-razzi: the Shamrock don’t spill. The tattoo parlor across from the Key Club on the Sunset Strip was inundated with bribes after singer Robbie Williams got inked. UK paparazzi offered employees cold cash if they revealed what he got. But mum’s the word.... Speaking of blue-eyed soul, Alan Thicke’s son Robin Thicke’s recent performance at Social Studies, Club A.D.’s Saturday night dance party, was a surprise smash.

Dancers strut it with ‘Feeling’

Last Saturday, Social Studies treated guests to a dance-off featuring top dancers and choreographers from the camps of Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and the Pussycat Dolls recreating scenes from “Flashdance.” In da house but not seen wearing legwarmers were Fred Durst, Puff Daddy and Brandy. And boy-oh-boy, you don’t want to miss Saturday’s Social Studies exam: A sizzling romp for Mya presented by Maxim. Feel the burn.
