[Disco mans the door at Bungalow 8] Last fall, when Southside first opened, we wondered if Anthony Martignetti’s newest role was channeling Amy Sacco.After giving the basement of his Center and Broome St. “Bar Martignetti’s” from “Bellas” into “Southside” we noticed quite a few similarities from another hotspot…Bungalow 8.First Anthony swiped Amy’s palm trees and black tiles. Now he’s stealing her doorman, Disco. Sacco’s Bungalow 8, rumored to be closed last week but actually just renovating, has lent its imposing gatekeeper to Martignetti’s Harvard-friendly SoHo lounge.
The Cinema Society hosted a private screening of the film The Invention of Lying co-directed by Ricky Gervais and Matthew Robinson Wednesday night and while the flick’s stars seemed to have other things to do, there were plenty of television stars in attendance to make up for it, including 90s golden couple (and TV Star royalty as far as we’re concerned) Zach Morris and Kelly Kapowski a.k.a. Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tiffani Thiessen. Other TV stars in attendance included Justin Kirk,Katherine McPhee,Hillary Duff, Kathy Griffin, and James Lipton… More »

Amy Sacco is bringing her Bungalow 8 to Amsterdam. Franchising a New York icon? Really? [NYP]
Saturday’s Beach Blanket Bungalow at Pink Southampton was apparently a misery loves company meeting spot. Amy Sacco was looking for ideas for her quickly dwindling reality show. Daniel Koch was there checking out the competition. His Day & Night Brunch party has had to battle one of the rainiest summers in recent history coupled with it’s location’s bankruptcy. And then there’s LiLo. Broken up, back together; Dadio knee deep in a totally weird bromance. Drunk. Sober. We can barely keep track.
Sex, drugs, and a little bit of rock and roll always have the making for good reality TV. And as one would guess, club dominatrix Amy Sacco is apparently working on a Bravo series that will chronicle among other things the opening of a new yet to be named club in New York. This apparent club’s location is also yet to be named. So where will it be? Will it saddle up to the new emerging corner of 17th and 10th that is home to Avenue and 1 Oak? We will be keeping our ear to the ground for this one. More »
Trouble for one of the (one-time?) pillars of NYC’s nightlife community, as questions arise about Amy Sacco’s cash flow [Gawker]
If you’re looking for a job that pays for doing absolutely nothing, then you just might want to become a NYC teacher. Educators who misbehave are sent to a “rubber room” where they can do yoga, paint, and just relax. Oh, and they’re paid $70,000/year. [MSNBC]

Last night, the Cinema Society and Tommy Hilfiger hosted a screening of “Management,” starring Jennifer Aniston. From the red carpet arrivals to the after party at Table 8-the restaurant that opens today inside Cooper Square Hotel-the evening held more star power than the Waverly Inn on a Friday. More story and photos below… 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.
