Just when New York's Standard Hotel attempts to class things up by bringing in Salman Rushdie to hand-select the hotel library, two catty actresses have to steal the headlines. Apparently The City's semi-reality show star Samantha Swetra made some remarks that offended Boardwalk Empire actress Paz de la Huerta, and the b*tchslapping began. Actually, it was full-on punching, reports Fox:

The fight apparently began after Swetra made a few snide remarks aimed at de la Huerta -- prompting the actress to throw a glass and punch the reality star in the face

The front desk is telling people they are not taking reservations because they are all booked. Not even if the person is a Janis Joplin impersonator. Brian Mercer emailed us with his disappointment the other day:<blockquote><a href="http://www.coraconnection.com/md/">Marianne Donnelly</a> is a Janis Joplin impersonator who stayed at this hotel many times and is dearly disappointed that suddenly without any explanation it is not taking reservations and uses the incredibly opaque line, "we are all booked for now." What b.s. Why don't they rent while renovating? Where else could you stay in a private "cubicle" safe and warm for $40 a
