Guess who’s back

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Who’s coming to London.

It’s London’s favourite girl Paris Hilton who will be returning to our wonderful city tomorrow for the launch of her new perfume Can Can.

The launch is taking place at Selfridges, Oxford Street tomorrow (Thursday 15th May). And as Paris will be there from 12:30pm till 2:30pm to see all of her London fans. But to get the chance to meet Miss Hilton one must purchase one of her fragrances from Selfridges on Oxford Street today (Wednesday 14th May) to get one of the limited special VIP passes which will grant you access to the Heiress. So hurry if you want to meet the reality TV star who promises to stay for the whole two hours and sign autographs and give her adoring fans complimentary goodie bags at the event.

How exciting.

 

Pete for Amika

What a Shambles

Should Pete Doherty really be out clubbing after just getting out of prison? Not sure what his parole office would say about that.

But Amika seems to think it’s fine as he has been hired by them to host an evening this Thursday called F*ck Rehab. What an appropriate name.

At the weekend, rap star Nelly, hip hop star Usher and Kelly Rowland were all seen dancing till 4am at the lavish London night club where they reportedly spent £110,000 on their tables which included £16,000 jeroboams of white-gold Dom Perignon.

Let’s see if it’s the same crazy night this Thursday with Pete Doherty as it was with Usher and Kelly Rowland. One thinks it might be a bit less drinking and bit more…. Well we all know what Pete’s in to.

Oh, and if that’s not enough celebrity gatherings for you at Amika the much loved Paris Hilton will be popping by to host a night on Friday 16th May. Hope they paid her a bit more than Mahiki (reportedly paid her £70,000) if they want her to stay more than 2 hours.

Getting all mixed up.

It’s all getting mixed up in Shoreditch tomorrow with the launch of the long anticipated Hoxton Pony.

This new all-day bar and restaurant has been started by some of the best mixologists, including Gerry Calabrese and Andy Pearson, who is the current UK Bartenders Guild Nation Champion.

The pair have made sure that all the cocktails on the menu, and it’s quite a list, use organic, British produce and with a seansonal emphasis it’s  regularly changing. All compotes, purees and syrups are made on-site and every one of the 200+ spirits are handed selected.
