Viper Room grad at large
We have excellent news for rock ‘n’ roll nightclubs: Dayle “Ears of Rock” Gloria is available.

We hear Dublin’s Comedy on Tuesdays has been off the chain. Such hotties as Vince Vaughn, Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz are among the stars who’ve shown up to the Strip pub in recent weeks to guffaw with comedians, hosted by Ahmed Ahmed and Jay Davis.... Tonight, Ivar/Nacional/Paladar partner Rick Calamaro plans to debut his latest venture, Lincoln -- a chic American steakhouse in Santa Monica.... Guitarist Paul Warren, who played with the Temptations at sweet 16 and toured with the likes of Tina Turner, Joe Cocker and Rod Stewart, has a big to-do coming up Saturday at Harvelle’s. The Santa Monica nightclub is recording Warren and his band the Wreckers live. We recommend an early arrival.... And such lovely lasses as Bridget Hall, Rose McGowan, Molly Sims and Carmen Electra were among the divas dishing at Del Taco last night for Glamour magazine’s Fashion Don’t bash held at the fast food eatery on Santa Monica Boulevard.
