No Freebies at the Shelborne
According to today's NY Post, the Shelborne Hotel has some explaining to do. Last New Year's it flew down Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Michelle Rodriguez, Simon Rex, Nicky and Paris Hilton, John Stamos, journalists from In Style and Star magazines, and promoters Richie Akiva, Jonathan Cheban, Lizzie Grubman and Danny A to up the ante on the new hotel's scene. Celebs thought the whole deal was free but did hand over credit cards for incidentals. A few months later they noticed room charges pop on them.
Cheban had this to say:
Unfortunately, after we made the Shelborne the hottest hotel in Miami and gave the best party, the checks J.P. sent us to throw the party bounced. He owes Lizzie and me $25,000 for the party. But then I also got charged $4,500 for the room I was in! Danny A and Richie Akiva also helped out and J.P. owes them $40,000. But the worst thing is, all of our friends we invited have been charged outrageous amounts on their credit cards."
The Shelborne apparently hasn't returned calls for comment.
We say these celebs can probably swing the few grand each. Come on, it's not like they pay for anything else. Ever.
