8360 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood; 323.651.5866
Designed to evoke the experience of dining in the clouds, Michael Ovitz's all-white, puffily-furnished Japanese restaurant will draw mobs of scenesters and agents -- assuming the Gay Mafia he claimed muscled him out of Hollywood have no idea how to find...West Hollywood.
Oct 3 at the Arclight: 6360 W. Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood
At this one-night extravaganza, 12 A-listers will introduce their signature flicks, including Morgan Freeman (Shawshank Redemption), Warren Beatty (Bonnie and Clyde), and George Lucas (Star Wars). Ticket price includes popcorn and soda -- an inducement so tempting, Paul Verhoeven will sneak in and claim he directed When Harry Met Sally.
Thursday at 9465 S Santa Monica Blvd, Beverly Hills
Tomorrow, this just-opened NYC transplant's giving away free cupcakes to their first 1000 customers; be sure to ask for the vanilla spongecake/chocolate icing number designed by none other than Howard Stern cohort Artie Lange -- a miracle of confectionary recursion as one fat cupcake creates another.
Sep 27 at Writing Pad; register for the exact address (Silverlake)
In addition to literary instruction, this embrace-your-manhood writing class comes with a feast of BBQ Ribeye, full baked potato bar, and beer; the organizers claim this'll help "channel your inner Hemingway", though you'll most likely end up with nothing but a more pronounced outer Hemingway, and a fierce desire to chug daiquiris and have issues with women.

It's safe for work, but that doesn't mean you're not about to witness shameless Earl Grey dunking.
