New Year's Eve in LA: Bubbly and Bumpin' In the Clubs with Arabian Prince, Hang the DJs, Part Time Punks and More

The year -and decade- are done, and the city's biggest, most buzzed about New Year's Eve bashes (Hard, Giant, Gridlock) are either out of your budget or out of your comfort zone.

So I'm thinking about suing the city of Hollywood. I'm not kidding.

Making Eyes At Sir Paul, Chatting Up Rodney B

Even though he's a millionaire rock star, it totally sucks to be Sir Paul McCartney.
