Gossip Only Means You're Popular

Seems gossip columnist Liz Smith had something to say about the little launch party I got to DJ last week:

SPEAKING OF THINGS L.A., there was a recent event that mixed the old and the new of Hollywood culture. A young woman named Lynda Keeler runs la.com, which is said to be the most fabulous online site about all things Los Angeles. The party to launch the site was held at Perino's, at 4101 Wilshire Blvd. This was one of the lush, glamorous star-spotting eateries during Hollywood's golden age. (Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford had a great scene in "Mommie Dearest" barking "Perino's is my place!")

Well, that Internet party was the last gasp for Perino's. The next day, bulldozers flattened the restaurant. I guess la.com can cross Perino's off its list of places to go in Hollywood.

Hmmm... there was no mention of the fabulous DJ spinning great tunes, but I'm sure they are all aware of that anyhow. It's a trade secret.
