Have you heard? Rich bankers in New York, the poncy swindlers who keep us out of Manhattan after sundown (they've discovered the LES!), are becoming a tad less rich. Boo hoo. And with the money goes the ridiculous luxuries it buys. No more willowy blonds who don't mind not kissing during sex, no more bespoke wingtips and, according to various nightlife connoisseurs, no more fucking bottle service. Huzzah!
In deference to those kind, decent human beings who know nothing of the favorite pastime of New York's most detestable pricks, bottle service is a practice in which scantily clad club waitresses bring overpriced bottles of vodka to tables of wealthy, hooting clowns who like rap music but hate black people. Good times! But God knows they couldn't last; clubs around New York are kiboshing the service as our nation falls into financial ruin and i-bankers run around with less disposable income:

The Columbia student whose $11k mink coat Lindsay Lohan allegedly stole now wants six-figures in punitive damages from the starlet, even though Masha Markova already said that after a dry cleaning and a patch job, the coat was as good as new. Meanwhile, Lindsay's rep Leslie Sloane Zelnik insists, "Lindsay did not steal a coat." This is the same Zelnik who, in the past, refused to comment on Lindsay's personal matters, insisting she only represented her movie career, SO YOU KNOW THIS IS SERIOUS.
If it weren't for OK! magazine, 22-year-old Columbia University student Masha Markova might have lost her $11,000 mink coat forever. But when the magazine ran photos of Lindsay Lohan wearing the one-of-a-kind coat (a gift from Markova's grandmother) after the Ivy League student lost it at the nightclub 1Oak, at a party where she sat by La Lohan and deposited her coat in a common bin, she got on the Google and found other paparazzi pics of Lohan wearing the expensive duds.
She even saw Lohan had switched coats after partying at 1Oak, arrived in a black number but leaving in the mink. She had to have stolen it! CONTINUED »
Two Manhattan nightspots were raided this week as police cracked down on liquor license violations, we hear. 1Oak (from Richie Akiva, Scott Sartiano, Jeffrey Jah, and Ronnie Madra), where Sophia Bush canoodles with costars, and Upstairs (from Danny A., Jordan Harris, and Matthew Isaacs) were both cleared out on Wednesday night for having improper, or non-existent, licenses. They remained closed last night.
* Update: Upstairs reopens and, says one knowledgeable source, 1Oak was never closed.
