Is Bungalow 8 Across the Pond Worth a Visit?

Where: 50 Berners Street, London, United Kingdom, W1T 3NG

Is London’s branch of Bungalow 8 losing its sheen? When it opened beneath the Sanderson Hotel St. Martin's Lane Hotel in September of 2007, it was supposed to be the nightclub to kill off all others. And it looked the part too, with every A-lister passing through on their trips to London.

But now it looks like it may be tailing off a bit. When we went last summer, it was full of what looked like hideously young children having a birthday party (we’re assuming that they must have been over 18, but they sure as hell didn’t look it), and the only celebs around were Peaches Geldof and fashion designer Matthew Williamson.

Amy Winehouse in 'Bloody' Fight at the Sanderson Hotel

Where: 50 Berners Street, London, United Kingdom, W1T 3NG

There's been a lot of crazy celeb stuff happening in hotels this week and it's really hard to keep track of it all. But this report about Amy Winehouse definitely caught our eye.

The troubled rehab-reject singer and her druggie husband have been staying at London's Sanderson Hotel where one of their fights turned bloody at 3am the other night, alarming guests and forcing the concierge to call the police.

Shocking images of the pair show Winehouse wearing blood-soaked ballet shoes, with bruises to her neck, bandages on her arms and make-up smeared down her face.

Fielder-Civil had livid scratches covering his face and neck.

Police confirmed they had attended an incident but no charges would be brought.

Hmm...maybe she just banged into the hotel lighting like David Hasselhoff once did. However, Amy is apparently standing up for her man by texting her love for him to Perez Hilton. Either way, let's just pray that Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse never stay at the same hotel on the same night.

Philippe Starck Practically Responsible for Near-Death of Hasselhoff

Where: 50 Berners Street, London, England, United Kingdom, W1T 3NG

David Hasselhoff has been staying at the Sanderson Hotel in London but we guess he may not be returning soon. Reports were swirling about that The Hoff cut himself shaving and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. While Hoff was shaving, there was a little bit more involved in the incident.

Turns out that The Hoff was shaving - after using the gym at the Sanderson Hotel - and had trouble with the dark lighting and trendy chandeliers over the sinks in the Philippe Starck-designed men's room. Squinting in the mirror, the 6-foot-4 Hoff bumped his head on the chandelier, which sent shards of glass and chrome cutting into his right arm, severing a tendon. The injury required surgery, but The Hoff should be ready to continue filming commercials for a British Internet company, after spending the night in the hospital.

Why is it that Hasselhoff always manages to make a scene when staying at London hotels? Still despite his eratic behavior those crazy Brits still love him.

Philippe Starck however, will have some explaining to do.

Britney's gum back on sale

Where: 50 Berners St. London, London, United Kingdom, W1T 3NG

Chew me baby, one more time!

Back in the day, before she discovered the Godly pleasures of cigarettes, innocent Britney chewed gum.

Well, on one such occasion the bubble-poppin' diva spat out her wad onto the foyer floor of the Sanderson Hotel in London where someone scooped it up, and well, guess what? I'll let iTV.com explain the rest:

"[The] piece of chewing gum belonging to pop princess Britney Spears is back on the eBay auctions website.

The gum had been removed because the seller advertised it as containing her DNA. The seller was forced to change the wording posted on the website because, according to the auction's rules, the sale of human body parts is banned. According to the seller it was put straight into an airtight container and has not been touched since it was inside Britney's mouth."

The infamous gum even has teeth marks in it. Damn, Bazooka Joe, you're such a P.I.M.P.
