It was a "blue blood"-y night at Double Seven, Manhattan's Meatpacking hotspot, when Prince of Monaco Pierre Casiraghi was hospitalized after a brawl broke out over vodka and supermodels.

According to the New York Post, Casiraghi, grandson of the late Grace Kelly, was assaulted by former club owner Adam Hock when the prince and his entourage, among them Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos III, approached his table.  What happened after is a point of contention between the two parties.

The Post writes:

Members of Hock’s group said the prince and his entourage “were being completely obnoxious,’’ insulting the models and swigging from a $500 bottle of vodka on Hock’s table.

“The next thing I saw, all hell broke loose,’’ one witness said. More»

Last night, the city was a buzz with parties (St.Jude's Gala, Cartier 100th, movie premieres and more), and eye candy galore.  However, the party of the week belongs to the Griffin opening night. Kate Hudson and Sting were just some of the big names to grace the newly opened club which we have had our eyes on all month.

From our tip box: Holy Moly! Just when we thought it'd be YEARS before we'd see another club opening up in this recession, we finally get the full story about PM's resurrection in Meatpacking (50 Gansevort), a rumor we've been hearing for weeks. It's happening.  And here's what we know:

Name: Set to be called "Griffin"
Team: Owners Adam Hock (on PM's lease and also of Hawaiin Tropic Zone Fame) and Chris Reda (owner of Room Service and Cheetah).
Director of VIP Services: Rachel Uchitel (Pink Elephant, Dune)
Pavan Parnasani- somehow involved (he's also working with 1Oak guys and Pink)

With the Saturday brunches breathing life back into the Meatpacking District, it will be interesting to see what Griffin can do to the post 7pm life down in the cobblestone shitshow.

Update: Other partners include Steve Davidovici and Manny Delzar.  Josh Kasier is Director of Operations, Cocktail program is from people behind Milk & Honey/Little Branch, and apparently Pavan Parnasani has no involvement.
