// Lindsey Lohan Skips Booze Class, Goes To Cannes//

TMZ broke the story that the judge has ordered LiLo to show proof next Thursday that she had completed 13 alcohol ed classes, but she’s only completed nine.



Simple math — If Lindsay doesn’t complete at least four more classes, she’s in violation of probation and the judge has made it clear … Lindsay will go to jail.

Sources say Lindsay — who is in NYC right now — has made it clear she’s flying to France for the film festival.  We’re told she’s going to publicize her movie about Linda Lovelace.

I’m told Lindsay will fly from NYC to L.A. today, get her stuff and then head off to France tomorrow.  A lot of flying … but no alcohol ed.

And there’s this … if Lindsay doesn’t complete the required number of classes and doesn’t show up in court next Wed., it’s standard operating procedure for the judge to issue a warrant for her arrest.

Smoking Mole and I had a chance to attend the Skyy Spirits World Class Whiskey Tasting Event at Los Angeles’ own whiskey bar, Seven Grand. Here’s a short clip of the event.

// Beverly Hills’ bar210 & Plush//

What is this you ask? The old Trader Vic’s space, part of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, has switched over to bar210 (pronounced two-one-oh) and plush, a dual lounge and nightclub with small plates controlled by Top Cheffer and ex-Bazaar alum, Marcel Vigneron. Apparently, plush is Beverly Hills’ only nightclub and it will be open 10PM to 2AM Thursday through Saturday, while bar210 will be open Monday through Saturday from 5PM until 2AM. When Eater queried Marcel the molecular master (who was only hired last Wednesday) what what we should expect on the food end, he described the menu as “Modern Global Tastings” with the majority of the menu “comprised of moderately priced small plates that can be eaten without silver and are meant to be shared.”

I’ll have a more in depth review of the new spot tomorrow after I enjoy tonight.

Sample menu items, right this way. »
