Have New Year's Eve plans? Well cancel them because this is the chic soiree you've been waiting for. Join us Splendorians as we don our Valentino, Chanel, and YSL to ring in the new year at San Francisco's CLIFT Hotel. This ultra-exclusive fete is for HOTEL GUESTS ONLY so book now and ensure you celebrate in style. Packages start at a very reasonable $275 and include a room and two tickets to the party but it's been a great year so why not splurge on a suite? Call 415-929-2301 to reserve your room

With her career plummeting after being "let-go" from The Practice, this former tabloid staple (they used to write about her mysterious love life and now they just gawk at her emaciation) is still desperately trying to associate herself with her ex-lover, Hollywood icon Jack Nicholson. At a recent Playboy Mansion party she publicly claimed that Jack's new film, Something's Gotta Give is "about her." In the movie Nicholson dates a much younger trophy gal pal and then ends up putting the make on the girl's mother. Unless we're missing something, we never heard that Jack was working on the night moves on Lara's Irish Catholic mom. Both Jack and the film's director have denied the autobiographical anomaly. And and other LFB related news, the episode of Punk'd featuring Slim was embarrassingly funny. After parading around in front of a faux store's mirrors moaning and touting her hotness, Lara's giddy about her new "free" wardrobe. When the boutique employees stick her with a $25,000 bill for all of the booty she freaks out saying that her "mother is going to kill her." This inside peek into her "it's all about me" shtick makes this Ashton Kutcher hosted program almost watchable.
