Bouncing Britney Spears from the clubUnthinkable things happen in nightclubs from New York to Miami to Los Angeles. In these dens of sin, celebrities more than the average Joe seem to be able to get away with just about any kind of bad behavior.
But last week, the naughty train stopped for Britney Spears, at least at West Hollywood hot spot Winston's. The pop wreck was officially banned from the exclusive club after a year of unsavory behavior behind its gilded doors.
The final straw, according to Life & Style magazine, was a Spears' stunt on Halloween night when the singer allegedly insisted on switching Halloween costumes with a reluctant barmaid.
Of course, this comes after months of reports of Spears dancing on tables and behaving badly in the tiny party space.
Sources also tell the mag that Spears was uncomfortably smitten with the manager, Harold Karsenty, apparently a "total stud," according to one frequent club-goer.
An all-out ban is a pretty harsh move. So what exactly would it take to get the boot from some of New York's favorite party spots. We did a survey to find out how bad is too bad, so both Brit and our readers can remain in club owners' good graces during the New Year.
Room Service: "If Britney repeatedly left the door open while going to the bathroom, that would be a problem for us," says club owner Mike Romer. "Everyone has seen it, but well, no one needs another look. Keep it to yourself, Brit." And Romer says that goes for just about everyone. Lock it up guys!
Brother Jimmys: A few of the things that will get you dissed from this BBQ-lovin', sports-viewing party joint include "showing up with a popped collar and sunglasses at night, having sex in the bathroom, peeing all over the bar and stalking a waiter or a waitress," according to owner Josh Lebowitz.
ONE Little West Twelfth: "Obviously, anything illegal would get someone kicked out. However, the strangest thing that I ever encountered was when two patrons tried getting frisky in the elevator, while another handicap patron was trying to get from the bottom floor to the main dining room," says general manager Ryan Tarantino.
Home and Guest House: "If she were disrespectful to my staff, I would have to kick her out. My staff works hard everyday and deserve to be treated well," says owner Jon B.
Johnny Utah's: At midtown's new mechanical bull-riding bar, a style flaw could get you evicted. "Wearing a turtleneck while riding our bull could constitute a ban," says owner Bobby Rossi. "But so could a dude going topless on the bull, or ordering a Sex on the Beach at our bar!"
Tenjune: "Any guest that is rude to staff or other guests ... acts illegally, or just brings a bad energy to the venue is someone that is not welcome back," says owner Eugene Remm.
