Who Did What and Where in This Week's Infamous Hotels

November 6, 2009 at 10:20 AM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Strippers! Sex! Tell-All Interviews! Dead Bodies! Bad Rap Music Videos!

It always seems that no matter how much Celebrity Scoop we write about in a given week, there's also lots more that we didn't have time to get to. So from now on, every Friday we'll be rounding up the week's Infamous Hotels. This weekly list will include hotels that celebrities visited (and it made the news) but also hotels that really up the "Eww" factor. This can easily be done by have a decaying body in your hotel. Welcome to the dark side.

· St. Regis Atlanta: A stripper claims that she had "lots of sex" with actor Josh Duhamel in an $830-a-night suite here. The problem? He's married to Fergie of The Black-Eyed Peas. Both say the allegations are "absurd" but the pole-dancer passed two polygraph tests.
· The Gramercy Park Hotel: Rihanna has spoken out for the first-time about the horrible beating she suffered at the hands of Chris Brown last February. She did her sit-down interview with Diane Sawyer in a suite at the GPH.
· Gansevoort South: Someone keep Rick Ross away from Miami hotels for his rap videos. Here's the latest one, featuring Clipse.
· Radisson Paper Valley Hotel: Former hometown hero Brett Favre returned to Wisconsin with his new team, the Minnesota Vikings, and had to shack up in a so-so room in downtown Appleton like the rest of them.
· The Jane Hotel: Another reason to avoid hotels with SRO residents inside. A body at the Jane was left decaying for days, disrupting the um, sensory experience of one hotel guest.

Tucked away in a strip with an independent movie theater and chain stores like Jamba Juice is an unassuming hotel with a bad-boy rock 'n' rolla past. The Days Inn Lincoln Park is nicknamed the Rock & Roll Days Inn for its musician clientele, which includes Sean Lennon, Twisted Sister, Nelly Furtado, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Dave Matthews, KRS One and the Foo Fighters.

It's rumored to be the place where Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain conceived their child, says Stefanie Hrejsa, general manager of the hotel. Years later, Love allegedly walked out of the hotel and said she couldn't stay there because of the painful memories, Hrejsa says.

Where is Finn Hudson Staying in New York?

November 3, 2009 at 5:46 PM | by juliana | 2 Comments

Can anyone guess the hotel where Finn Hudson aka Corey Monteith from Glee was Twitpic-ing from recently during the GLEE press trip through NYC. He writes:

sitting on the roof of my hotel in NYC... Love this city...

It looks like Midtown to us but he just tweeted that he was at Columbus Circle. Could he be at Six Columbus or are they staying at the Empire Hotel? Either way, your guesses have to be a hotel with a rooftop. Corey also mentioned that he went running through Central Park so it has to be a hotel close to there as well. And no, we have no idea which hotel it is. Put Your Guesses in Comments Below.

More of when celebrities and hotels collide on Twitter:

· Lindsay Lohan's BFF/stylist/paid sycophant is an a-hole to hotel operators. [@PAufdenkamp]
· Martha Stewart apparently did H'ween at the Waldorf [@MarthaStewart]
· Even Lauren Conrad has to wait for the hotel valet [@LaurenConrad]
· Aubrey O'Day is a serial Tweeter from Planet Hollywood in Vegas (She's in PeepShow there) [@AubreyODay]
· Britney Rides V Australia! Ok, not hotel news but we're still excited. [@BritneySpears]

Lady Gaga Gets Her Game On Underground at Andaz London

Our first thought when we saw these pictures from Lady Gaga’s latest photoshoot: ah, the rapier wit strikes again.

But when we looked beyond the blinding symbolism of a Hello Kitty chastity belt covering her bitsies, we spied something rather familiar. “Why, isn’t that the underground Masonic Temple in the bowels of Andaz London?” we asked ourselves.

So we asked the folk at Andaz. And yes, it is.

Lohan Gets It On (Allegedly) With Gerard Butler at Morocco Hotel Opening

Whatever Halloween horrors you saw this weekend, we doubt it can have been much worse than what Gerard Butler might just have woken up to yesterday morning.

According to the Mirror, Gerard had escaped all those cheap tacky parties in LA to go to the opening night of Sol Kerzner’s swish new Mazagan Beach Resort near Casablanca.

Unfortunately for him, it turned out a bit cheap and tacky anyway, as dear old Lindsay Lohan was among the fellow guests. And apparently, after a couple of bevvies, they went through the old dancin’-flirtin-kissin’ routine at the hotel’s new nightclub, Sanctuary, before “leaving the party together in a golf buggy.” A smooth touch there, Gerard. Really smooth.

Lindsay Lohan Loves The Plaza Athenée But Not as Much as Herself

The Terrace Eiffel Suites at The Plaza Athenée.

Nothing Lindsay Lohan ever tweets about really makes sense, except when she's trying to promote her 6126 leggings line, her Sevin Nyne spray tan lotion and her work for the fashion house of Emanuel Ungaro and even those tweets aren't all that well-crafted. The same goes for her tweets about hotels too. The other day she tweeted:

I love Emanuel Ungaro and I miss Paris and the Plaza Athenée

This was followed by a picture link which we eagerly clicked because we thought it would be a pic of her room at the luxury hotel but alas, it was just a pic of her attempting to look seductive. Boo.

Fortunately, we still have these killer views that a tipster sent us last month that we can drool over.

Jessica Simpson Checks Into The Taj Mahal Palace

Good old Jessica Simpson. Fresh from serenading guests at the Serena Hotel in Kampala, she’s moved on to Mumbai to film the next episode of her new show, The Price of Beauty.

She stayed at the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, which reopened last December after the devastating terrorist attacks, and had a party thrown for her by Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia at the Vie Lounge bar on Juhu Beach. According to the Daily Mail, she “fitted right in with India’s fashion elite.” Wonder if she cracked out the guitar as well?

Having gone down a storm and impressed everyone with her henna tattoo and bindi, she left Mumbai for London yesterday. We’re not jealous. Really.

P. Diddy Has a Killer View From The Hotel Fasano; Killer Moves Not So Much

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: Av. Viera Souto 80, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 22420-000
October 26, 2009 at 5:30 PM | by juliana | 2 Comments

P. Diddy is definitely moving into "Old Man in the Club" territory but there is something charming about how desperate he is to cling onto his "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" days. PopWrap has a photo of P. Diddy trying to break it down on his balcony at The Hotel Fasano in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil which is quite scary (click at your own caution) but P. Diddy also Twitpic'd the view from his hotel, which is something we are far more interested in.

We're guessing Diddy was shacked up in the hotel's deluxe suite which boats a king bed that is positioned to look out over the beach. While we wouldn't blame him for picking the best suite in the house, could he see all those beautiful bootys from way up there?

Since he tweeted this precious gem that is sure to be oft-quoted in high school yearbooks and listed in books of inspirational quotes for centuries to come, we know how important Brazilian bootys are to him:

BRAZIL!!!!! Ass! Ass! Ass! Phat round beautiful ASSES!!!!! Everywhere! Its a ASS suniami!!!!!!!! I think I like it here!!! Lol

Like we said, Old Guy in the Club.

Follow HotelChatter on Twitter--we promise not to Tweet about asses!

The May Fair Was a Hit With the Celebs Last Night

Last night was quite the starfest for the May Fair Hotel last night. 50 Cent was staying there, in between driving round London in a Rolls Royce and racking up £75k bar bills.

Footballers Ashley Cole and Rio Ferdinand were there as well – they produced the film Fiddy was there to promote. And so was Mel B, who was in town for the launch party of British Airways’ direct London-Vegas flights.

Looks like Mel is on the hotel’s ambassador scheme which lets celebs stay at hugely reduced rates in return for plugging it and being photographed at it. And boy does this woman give them their money’s worth. Not only did she step out in two spangly dresses (she hit the film premiere before the BA party), but last time she was there, she was photographed groping her friend in the bar. Nice work lady! Something tells us she’s got a free bed for life there. We like to think it’s the pink Schiaparelli suite.

Johnny Depp is Coming to Hoxton, Will He Stay at the Hoxton Hotel?

Just how great is Johnny Depp? Very great. So great in fact that he is, according to Spoonfed, “negotiating a one-off performance” with indie band Babybird in the Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen on November 12.

Where might he be staying? Well there’s only one option round that way: the Hoxton Hotel, so if he wants to make a night of it, he should probably stay here. In fact, we like to think he snapped up one of the £1 rooms in the sale this month and decided to throw in a gig as thanks to the people of Hoxton.

Whatever. Rooms for 12 November are costing £184.98 at the moment, which sounds a bit steep to us (we said when we stayed there that we’d pay up to £120). But then, a potential glimpse of the Deppster in the bar is probably priceless.

Dennis Rodman Continues To Be The Worst Hotel Guest in Miami

What is it about hotels that makes Dennis Rodman act like a serious perv? The bad ex-baller has now been accused of groping a woman at the LIV nightclub at Miami's Fontainebleau Hotel. In the past year alone, he has also been accused of inappropriately groping gals at the Gansevoort South, The London West Hollywood, The Hard Rock Las Vegas and another Los Angeles-area hotel.

This time at LIV, the alleged victim said that Rodman approached her, whispered in her ear and then touched her inappropriately. The woman notified security officers who then called the police. While a friend of Rodman says the club's surveillance video will exonerate the friend, the police are still investigating. Rodman could face charges of simple battery but we're hoping there's a way that the law could enforce a permanent hotel blacklist as well.

'Sex and The City' Gals Take Over Chuck Bass' Place, The Empire Hotel

As if Chuck Bass buying the place wasn't enough glitz and glamour for The Empire Hotel, the Sex and The City crew were filming in the hotel lobby (pictured above) all day Monday and a spy sent us some scoop on what was going on.

Someone saw a movie poster of Smith’s new film. It looks like an epic war film shot in the desert where he’s carrying a small boy to safety.

There were about 200 extras and Samantha was wearing a short, silver body hugging number with a cream wrap. SJP was in a floor length, black dress with a egg-shell colored wrap.

Ok, so it's not that much but it looks like Smith is in some big action movie and the gals attend the movie premiere party at the hotel. Also, we heard Chris Noth aka Mr. Big was on set too. And there is now word that Penelope Cruz will be in this scene as well.

We have to say these are all major improvements at the hotel from the Kardashians.
