Is the Material Girl Trying Her Hand in Club Land?

Where: 22 Park Lane , London, United Kingdom, W1K 1BE

If we can trust the reliable folk at er, "Pop Bitch", it would certainly appear that way.

The gossip newsletter says that the basement bar at London's Park Lane Hilton, Zeta, is to be relaunched as a private members club by Mahiki owner Piers Adam and his cohorts, with none other than Madonna rounding out the partnership (Adam was Guy Ritchie's best man at Madge's wedding).

The Zeta bar is actually just one of the many nightlife and dining options offered in the hotel, which also has a Trader Vic's restaurant, a POP champagne bar, and the Galvin at Windows french restaurant on the 28th floor which offers 360 degree views of the city. There's also a more relaxed dining area with the Podium restaurant.

However, with Amy Sacco having launched Bungalow in London last year at the St. Martins Lane Hotel, and Richard Caring's entertainment empire continuing to expand at an astronomic rate, Adam and Mads will have their work cut out for them.

Caring, who owns Annabel's private club and The Ivy and Le Caprice restaurants has just snapped up another of London's most exclusive venues, Soho House. Another elite club is due to open above The Ivy this spring.

But we think if Madonna wants to get into the nightclub business, it can't be much worse than her "movie career." Besides, won't listening to Borderline inside Madonna's club feel that much more special?
