January 30, 2012

Tie and jacket not required; prosthetic horns optional.

Lady Gaga is helping her dad, Joe Germanotta, open his own New York City eatery. Joe is set to open Joanna Trattoria, named after his sister and Lady Gaga’s aunt. Gaga’s real name is also Stefani Joanna Germanotta.

“It’s a real family effort,” a source told The Sun newspaper. “They’ve all been getting stuck in.”

Indeed, Gaga’s sister, Natali, has been decorating the walls with art, while Gaga is developing the menu. And surprisingly, it includes something more than wine and cigarettes.

December 26, 2011

For most of us, when we go out to a bar or club, we spend about an hour at home perfecting the fine art of “pre-partying.” Pre-partying is better known as drinking a bunch of cheap wine so you can get a buzz going before you get to your destination, therein saving yourself from a big ass bar tab. We are the 99%.

Well, pre-partying is one more thing celebrities will never, ever have to worry about. They’re so rich, they have no idea what that even means. If you don’t believe me, check out these ridiculously expensive celebrity bar tabs:

Kiefer Sutherland: $700: If it’s not epic enough that Kiefer racked up a $700 bar tab, he did it between the wee hours of 7am and 1pm. Who drinks that early in the morning, much less $700 worth that early in the morning? Kiefer Sutherland, that’s who. According to an employee, the 24 actor was tossing back Scotch and Cokes at 'The Spot' in San Pedro, and he bought drinks for everyone at the venue. His bill was $500, but he left a $200 tip.
