Admit it. Don't try and deny it. When you hit the VIP spots, when you drop $$$$ for bottles and make your way past the velvet ropes… you want to see the celebs. Here's where to do it. The first in an ongoing Clubplanet series.

Where: LAX

Who: Wilmer Valderrama, Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag of MTV’s The Hills, Shawn Wayans, DJ AM of course, Nicole Richie and various soap stars.

Why: This jet-set style club has celeb DJ DJ AM to thank for a good portion of its celeb draw. That and Bolthouse is still pulling a great crowd for his Wednesday night events.



Where: Social Hollywood

Who: The most recent night I was there Lindsay Lohan was in attendance, Tommy Lee, Lance Bass and his beau Richen, Hiedi from The Hills playing her role as “under-ager out on the town”, Terah Gisolo (Quincinera) and Lady Victoria Hervey.

Why: Uber-Chic and beautiful spot, Wednesday’s tough velvet rope and small capacity ensure partying in relative peace, but every night of the week is good here. You can’t beat all the rooms either, Celebs who need to get a moments privacy for... er, whatever, can always find one of the rooms semi-vacant or a hallway corner as the party circulates from room to room.

Where: Privilege

Who: Paris, Nicky and beau Kevin Connolly, LA Laker alum Rick Fox, Shanna Moakler – now ex-wife to Travis Barker, Travis Barker himself, Fat Joe and posse, The Game, Brandon Davis, Kim Kardashian, Tara Reid, Jessica Simpson and many more…

Why: The newly re-modeled venue has upped its hotness factor – either that or it’s the convincing Miami beach décor. Celebs have always flocked to this venue, Bolthouse does Saturday Nights here and Dean May, Tommy Alastra, and other power promoters work Tuesdays.

Where: Lobby

Who: Justin Timberlake has eyed the dance floor, Avril Lavigne has celebrated her nuptials with now hubby Deryck Whibley (Sum 41), Ian Ziering has made an appearance (90210’s Steve Sanders) Dennis Quaid, Greg Kinnear and others.

Why: It’s another SBE venue (along with Privilege and Hyde) where celeb’s can party somewhat untouched by the tourists and star-struck fans with expensive table service and a massive chandelier to boot.

Where: Hyde

Who: Paris and friend Kim Kardashian, Brandon Davis (who gave L-Lo the moniker of ‘Fire-Crotch’), Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Jason Statham, Benji Madden (Good Charlotte), Brody Jenner and on-again-off-again girlfriend Kristin Cavallari, Courtney Love, Elisha Cuthbert, Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild infamy, Lukas Haas, and many more, Quincy Jones even made an appearance here. Best Yet LA’s resident D-List party girl was recently forced to wait outside of the velvet ropes as Paris sauntered and smirked her way inside. See the Video after the jump…

Why: Simple, it is so exclusive that the valet won’t park your care until they know you are getting inside, that and if Tara Reid can’t get in…well need I say anything more?

Where: Joeseh’s

Who: Mr. Belding – It’s so random I had to throw it in, he’s there many Monday’s dancing with the intoxicated 20-something’s who get a kick out of his somewhat creepy presence.

Why: The Monday night party is great – why Mr. Belding goes is a mystery to me.
