Opera's Dramatic Opening

The latest Hollywood hot spot, Opera, premiered to a full house on Friday night in an exclusive star-studded fete that had hundreds of party hoppers hoping to get in. This party hopper, however, jumped right through the VIP line and into the posh new club.

Photographers grabbed photos of arriving guests as mists of white cloudy stuff poured around them from above. It was a mystical, dramatic start to a rockin' evening. Just as you step inside, you are greeted with smoke of another kind (and it wasn't just cigarette smoke). As a D.A.R.E. kid, I'm still so anti, but I think smoking is becoming the new black in this town.

Half the party was crammed in this tiny outside lounge! As we made our way through the crowds and inside the dome shaped room, the DJ was pumping some incredible tunes that could get anyone on the dance floor. But only a handful of girls were brave enough to do so, as the dance floor was the center of the club and the focus of everyone's attention.

In the far corner, a few ginormous bodyguards watched over Wilmer Valderrama as he partied with four hot chicks. My friend introduced me to Wilmer and I almost didn't recognize him as he had a hot pageboy cap pulled low over his eyes. He had nothing to hide though! Completely clean shaven and entirely blinged out, Lindsay Lohan's ex looked hot. His muscles were cut enough to slice any girl's hesitations!

By the bar, I caught a glimpse of Rex Lee (again!). That guy is everywhere! He was wearing a very loud black and white collared shirt and gave my friend a dirty look when he told him that Rex's role on Entourage made the show.

Far more appealing to my eye was Shane West who, true to his Southern roots, was wearing the sexiest blue cowboy shirt that made his green eyes sparkle! Holding an amber-hued drink, I saw him again later that night talking to a few girls on the smoking patio. He kept taking small drags of his cigarette, telling the girls that he was trying to hide that he smokes; apparently, it is not a habit he's particularly proud of. Perhaps his part as a doctor on ER is rubbing off on him.

As we left, we said goodbye to the owners and promoters, who seemed to be having as awesome time. Rumors that Britney Spears was coming had filled the security guards walkie talkies, but we didn't stay long enough to find out. After all, I really didn't want to be partying with trouble. But the hundreds of people still waiting outside couldn't wait.

Wilmer thinks he can fool the public. We all know he's an undercover gaylord.
