Hugh Jackman Has Been to ‘Too Many Skinny-dipping Parties’

Kate Moss’s Topshop is running its door like Bungalow 8 circa 2003, never letting enough people in at once and always making sure there’s a line outside. While Beatrice regulars like Sean Avery and Chloë Sevigny partied at the Cooper Square Hotel’s “Free Beatrice” bash Friday night, a spokesman for the Mayor’s Office of Special Enforcement says the West Village party house will remain padlocked until “additional fire sprinklers, an additional exit and a wider entrance are installed.” Katy Perry and Estelle shared lemon-drop shots and Champagne at Greenhouse. Beyoncé and Jay-Z hit up Q-Tip’s birthday celebration at Santos’ Party House after eating at Waverly last night. Busta Rhymes gave Kid Cudi kudos at Mr. West for his Universal label signing. Hugh Jackman says it’s easy for him to strip on-camera because of “too many skinny-dipping parties as a young man.”

Cecil Suwal (who’s slated to serve six months in prison for running the Emperors Club), is scouting out a publisher for her memoir, Inside the Emperors Club: Girls, Greed and the Governor. Bill and Hillary Clinton, along with Chelsea, held hands at Café Carlyle while watching Kelli O’Hara’s cabaret act. Former Paterson staffers Charles O’Byrne and Sean Patrick Maloney chatted at Chelsea’s Le Singe Vert. Inside Edition host Deborah Norville attacked The Early Show anchor Maggie Rodriguez’s interview of Levi Johnston while on CNN’s Reliable Sources, saying, “For heaven’s sakes, if you’re going to be a reporter, act like one!” Jay Leno tells GQ that his greatest regret is letting the Tonight Show come between him and David Letterman.

Andy Roddick and model Brooklyn Decker are getting hitched in Austin this weekend. They met after Roddick spotted her in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and had his agent contact her agent. Pamela Anderson is getting married. For the fourth time. Candy Spelling wrote a very personal and heartfelt letter to her estranged daughter, Tory, begging her to get in touch. Then she posted it on her website to be picked up by gossip rags, just in time to get Tory’s memoir, Mommywood, some extra publicity.

When John Mayer wanted Jessica Simpson to be quiet, he would tell her that he that he liked her less-verbose, “spiritual side.” Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo’s relationship is on the rocks. Probably because Lachey is getting to be too big of a star. Drew Barrymore had a giggly dinner of maki and sake bombs at Bond Street with former flame and current “friend” Fabrizio Moretti. Faux Francophiles can relax: La Goulue has delayed its closing until June 24. Bobby Brown couldn’t pay for his pie at an Upper East Side pizzeria with his kids, and started screaming, “Where the f— is all my money?” when he couldn’t get anything out of the ATM machine.
