Not Even The 'Entourage' House Can Escape a Fire
While every episode may end with bottle service at hot Hollywood clubs and toasts to the good fortune of the boys of Entourage, in real life, things aren't quite as awesome. The house used for the first two seasons of the HBO show, was spotted with its roof on fire over the weekend.
Perez Hilton reports that a fire broke out atop the Charles Toberman Estate in the Runyon Canyon area. But while much of Los Angeles north of Pasadena is suffering from serious wildfires, this fire appears to have started in the kitchen.

8 Oz. Burger Bar
Half-pound is the new quarter-pound at West Hollywood newcomer 8 Oz. Burger Bar, a casual eatery from Govind Armstrong, the acclaimed chef at nearby high-end restaurant Table 8.
8 oz. has quickly become a local favorite for its trendy atmosphere and hefty, grass-fed patties, topped with gourmet delicacies like cave aged Gruyere, red onion marmalade and fried caper tartar sauce. For non-carnivores, 8 oz. has drawn an equally devoted following for its equally large veggie burger, topped with sunflower sprouts, wild arugula and avocado.
But most regulars get more excited about the gourmet finger food, with offerings like mini Kobe corndogs, fried Wisconsin cheese curds and sausage-stuffed fried olives, all of which are tasty late-night accompaniments to an array of local microbrews.

Rihanna Picks Up Another Tat
Tattoo-loving pop goddess Rihanna recently stopped in at Body Electric in Hollywood to get some more ink. Last time we checked, she was getting cut on the other coast at Whatever Tattoo in New York. The singer herself says:
I like hanging out in tattoo shops. I am so intrigued by tattoos. It's an entire culture, and I study it. Sometimes I go with friends or just by myself.
Since she doesn't seem to be slowing down on the body art front, we've gone ahead and put together a Rihanna Tattoo Map for ya.

Sienna Miller and New Man at Chateau Marmont
The scourge of Pittsburgh herself, Sienna Miller, isn't letting her singledom last too long by the looks of things. The over-bronzed waif was spotted on Tuesday night at the infamous Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, snuggling on a couch in the hotel restaurant's living room area with Josh Hartnett. The two were seen "laughing and chatting for about an hour."
The pair eventually ended up poolside, but not before Hartnett grabbed onto Sienna's scrawny thigh when she stood up in front of him. Perhaps they popped into one of the Hillside Bungalows with private street entrance to finish the night? Of course flacks are saying the standard "they're just friends" bit, but we know where a night at the Marmont can end up....

El Compadre in Los Angeles
El Compadre is a popular Hollywood restaurant located on Sunset Boulevard. The joint may not be totally gourmet, but it's perfect for a late-night dinner any day of the week. If the late-night crowds and mariachi band don't wake you up, then the flaming margaritas will. Those maragaritas--the pineapple one is particularly tasty--are El Compadre's signature cocktail. Good options for grub include the fajitas, tacos and taquitos. This outpost is also great for celebrity-spotting. We saw Drew Barrymore and boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti, plus a bunch of ex-Road Rulers, all there on a Monday night.
The Sunset Boulevard location may be popping, but there's another flavor of El Compadre in Silver Lake. That one is more laid back and has friendlier staff. It's perfect for a post-party weekend lunch, and can get downright quiet during daytime hours. That means you and your flaming margarita can be together in peace for as long as you like.

Jude Law's Guide To LA Strip Clubs
According to the NY Post, Jude Law likes his Body Shop:
Newly single Jude Law - who broke up with molten-hot Sienna Miller last week - has been spotted around the Marmont making time with a stripper he met at the nearby Body Shop, the Sunset Strip mammary mecca famously name-checked in Motley Crue's "Girls, Girls, Girls." But our spy sniffs that Law's latest squeeze is a far cry from the beautiful Miller: "He's been going to the Body Shop strip club every night and hanging out with this nasty young brunette - she is really beat looking."
To add insult to injury, Gridskipper adds:
The Sunset Strip's Body Shop -- it is one giant money vacuum disguised as gentlemen's entertainment.
Poor Jude, he can't even end up at the good strip club in LA.

Lindsay gets sloppy seconds at Chateau Marmont
Lindsay Lohan continued her man-eating rampage (hey, at least she's eating something, right?) last week at Hollywood's Chateau-Marmont. Her latest conquest? Johnny Knoxville, jackass-extraordinaire...and the man who's rumored to have, ahem, come between Jessica Simpson and wedded bliss.
The Lowdown reports, "They were really close, walking together through the bungalows by the pool...They didn't seem to be acting too covertly, but that's because nobody was around." Oh, Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. Haven't you learned by now? In celeb-whorin' H-town hotels, somebody is always watching.
