So thats what happened @ last night Therapy:

Someone got so trashed they broke their own leg at Therapy! This is after he busted out windows with his fist and then a few chairs. I hear the blood was all over the place. Yuck!

GaySocialites.com's Charles Winters broke the story last night, and now we have a follow-up report on last night's bizare scene inside New York gay lounge Therapy. Today, my eyewitness is telling us exactly what went down:

"During Mimi Imfurst's show this drunk guy started throwing a frisbee around so Mimi took it away from him, kinda like the teacher in school. After show was over, the crazy guy tried to peform a strip tease on stage and was asked to stop (by Chad, Therapy's manager). The guy wouldn't budge and started getting violent, so a security guard tried to remove him... It took Mimi Imfurst and at least 5 bouncers to eventually get this guy out of the club! Then outside, the guy kicked his leg through the front door of Therapy breaking the door and his leg. I overheard the paramedics saying his leg was so mangled that 'it might have to be removed.' Blood was everywhere, I swear I have never seen so much blood anywhere!"

Mimi Imfurst and Eve Star are planning a parody performance next Monday making light of the situation.

Everything at Therapy is already repaired, and you would never even know anything
happened.

Please Vote for Mimi Imfurst HERE
Seems like an adventure in clubland to me!

Everyone is talking about Blow Pop

celia%20antm%20and%20king%20ralphy2.jpg billy%20davey%20jerry2.jpgkortnie%20and%20celia%20of%20americas%20next%20topmodel%20and%20king%20ralphy2.jpgC.Maddox%20Jackie%20Birdy%202.jpgblowpop%200102.jpg


HK took on a whole new feel on Saturday night for the launch of Dina Marie Delicious' weekly Blow Pop party. You can actually see this chic lounge transforming into a "Dance Spot", as Dina Marie has named it.

Blow Pop was one well choreographed show from beginning to end. Birdy wore an edible candy wardrobe. Acid Betty carried a jewelry box filled with sweets, and Petey Pig handed out Blow Pop suckers to the crowd.

Dina's parties are that organized chaos that you just have to appreciate. When the DJ played Dynamite, the first single from Dina's upcoming album, she took the stage a performed it impromptu! Half-way through the night, Dina even opened the connecting doors to the loft where another party was taking place and flooded the two crowds together as one. The entire night left you wondering what might happen next.

In addition to the cosmetic changes at HK, Blow Pop drew an eclectic crowd often considered unfamiliar to Hell's Kitchen like the East Village hipsters, West Village queens and Chelsea Boys. Dina Marie brought out everyone from New York's gay nightlife elite to reality stars and D-list celebrities.

The seen list could go on for pages and includes: America's Next Top Model contestants Celia Ammerman and Kortnie Coles (spotted sitting with King Ralphy), James Lehey Jacob Strawn, Herra C, Charles Winters, Yuhua, Jasen Kaplan, Matt Stetson, James Coppola, Adrian Rowell, DJ Tek Shur, Dj Serg, Anna Rexia, Epiphany and Sherry Vine (both out of drag)... just to name a few.

Dina Marie will take over HK all weekend starting next Friday with her monthly Circus Party. This month theme is "Alice in Wonderland", and each host is coming dressed in character. DJ Nita Aviance, 1half Nelson, Ericka Aviance, and DJ Serge are all on the roster.

Then on Saturday Blow Pop features DJ Serge and Scotty Rox as a part of Petey Pig's Birthday Celebration.

Superman Director Bryan Singer @ RUSH?

My bestie Charles Winters hopped on over to Rush after BlowPop last night. Needless to say things got interesting, it's Fleet Week!

There was no such thing as a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy at Rush's Fleet Week party on Saturday night. Who knows which one of the gays were really sailors, because the staff and a lot of the patrons were decked out in Naval gear themselves. Steve Sidewalk had the college cuties bobbing and dancing all night long as they packed both floors!

Seen: Timothy Guest (and his parents), Tommy and Jimmy from the Ritz, Alan Picus, Miss Alixandria, GaySocialites.com's Charles Winters, Chakaconvict, Drew Zailen, Lady K and "Superman Returns" director Bryan Singer.

I''ll be checking out The Ritz: Fire Island real soon!!

How Many Licks?!

4206_184906395493_567640493_6913803_4937488_n.jpg

Last Saturday was the last week of the regular "HK Saturdays" party at HK as they make room for Dina Marie Delicious and her Blow Pop party which starts next Saturday!

Finnish pop star Alexandra Alexis impressed the crowd of some of the gay who's who of New York Nightlife including Malik So Chic, Jasen Kaplan, Petey Pig, Yuhua, Zoe Murphy, King Ralphy and GaySocialites.com's Charles Winters.

And coming next week: Dina Marie Delicious is taking over HK every Saturday night with her all new Blow Pop party!

Opening week Dina Marie will be joined by co-hosts Jasen Kaplan, Acid Betty, Yuhua, Zoe Murphy, King Ralphy and Jackie "Birdy" as she helps unveil a whole new HK.

Dina Marie has been a pioneer behind the scenes pushing for the expansion of HK, and now her hard work and bitching is paying off!

Even though the name of the establishment will remain HK, Dina Marie says you won't be calling it just a lounge anymore. She's unofficially branded it as the HK Dance Spot. The owners (for whatever reason) don't want us to say much about it there is soon going to be two new rooms. One of which Dina has pinned as the "Blow Pop" lounge, and the other has a dungeon-like, cruisy feel.

It is going to be a big night for HK, and I cant wait!

EXCLUSIVE: The Ritz is going to buy Club Rush?


EXCLUSIVE

RushSaturdaysgood.jpg


I heard... Club Rush is joining the Ritz family. The rumors about the Ritz coming to Cherry Grove on Fire Island have been confirmed.

Now, I'm being told that Ritz is buying into Rush. We're not sure what that means for the management at Rush, but since there are two partners there currently - chances are one of them sticking around.

Our unconfirmed source says the name hasn't been decided yet, but Rush may just soon become The Ritz, Chelsea.

We'll keep listening and tell you more as we hear it.

Petey Pig mentioned on MTV News w/ Lady GaGa

4175_89834964800_641979800_1634335_2078671_n.jpg

Blame him for the swine flu if you must, but piggy stands out where ever he goes! Heres what MTV News had to say about Lady GaGa's NYC concert last week:

"Not only can she pull off the craziest styles, but she’s quite the performer too. She sounded great live and talked to the audience throughout the show, prompting the already-hyped crowd to go wild (one classic quote among many: “Do you know how many times I played clubs in this city and they threw beer at me? It was kind of fun”). The venue was packed with screaming and jumping Gaga fans, and we felt like sardines in there. In between fending off people pushing and shoving their way to get to the front (we even encountered a guy dressed up as a pig!), we couldn’t help but look up to the VIP balconies in an effort to catch a glimpse of Gaga’s A-list concertgoers."'

Ricky says:


"Meeting Victoria (who signed a picture: love, VICKI) was like meeting a tiny version of myself; One who doesn't eat in public, and is only known for being good at one thing...posing. Very polite with a great sense of humor, she kindly laughed at my joke " this ones for you :)" as i stuck out my peace sign and whispered "GIRL POWER".

Thursday night review of NYC nightlife

NEW YORK NIGHTLIFE

The GaySocialites hit the road on Thursday night to zoom through some of the hottest parties in New York City. This week they touched down at G Lounge, the Skinny and Campus Thursday.

Our evening started out with martinis at G Lounge. Not only did we meet Emmit and Lance, a couple who just moved here from Fargo, ND; but we also saw some of the prettiest guys in New York City lingering by the bar. You know how all the beautiful people come out in the summer time? Well if Thursday night is any indication of how the rest of the season will go, the G will be a hottie destination. Our drink of choice: Extra Dirty Absolute Martini (made just right).

Our next stop was just across Chelsea for Campus Thursdays at Splash. It was somewhat of a reunion party seeing lots of familiar faces from the early Campus days like Vito Fun, Seth Gold, tons of twinky go-go boys and (of course) resident DJ Steve Sidewalk. On Thursdays, the college kids party like its Friday! Some of these boys tossed liquor all over each, others traded in the go-go attire for whipped creme and everyone seemed to be having the time of their life. The energy is high, and it never fails that Alan Picus and Chris Ryan pack the place every week. Also seen: Jules (HK Mondays), King Ralphy, DJ John Marto, Ant Man, Akash Abraham, Dave Beaty (Club Rush) and Dougie.

Then we headed over to Formika's party, The Skinny at Promenade. Little did we know this would be the last night of The Skinny, so we're glad we got to check it out. The crowd wasn't too thick, but it sure was powerful. We spotted DJ Adam flirting with the sexy bartenders and we even saw Amanda Lepore dancing! She looked better than we've ever seen her. Some things get better with age, even though she looks 10 years younger than the last time we bumped into her. Also seen: Danny Tenaglia Joey Israel, Ronnie Brown and (of course) King Ralphy - because we use his list every chance we get!

Thanks to everyone at G, the Skinny and Campus Thursdays for taking care of us this week. If you're out and about send us your nightclub scoop, and we'll publish it here.
