The Ivy

Anytime Dog the Bounty Hunter’s Duane Chapman and his wife Beth visit a Hollywood hotspot like The Ivy, it’s a visual extravaganza. It looks like Dog is rocking new jeans for the occasion. Bailbondsman Chapman claims he posted the $11,000 bond to spring Nicolas Cage out of jail after his arrest in New Orleans. Hopefully the financially strapped Nicolas will be able to pay him back – or else he might end up being stalked on Dog’s show.

Chanel Danielle Staub The Ivy The Real Housewives of New Jersey

‘HOUSEWIFE” DANIELLE STAUB’S CHANEL HANDBAG LAYAWAY DIDN’T WORK OUT

Recently Danielle Staub, who was booted off “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” was celebrating her “two new reality shows” by having lunch at The Ivy on Robertson Blvd. According to our nosey source, her table manners were questionable and she “devoured the basket of bread like a piranha.” After lunch, she went to the Chanel store and picked out three handbags that added up to way over $14,000. She put them on hold, confiding with a wink, that she hoped her new TV producers would pay for them. She never came back.

“Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman took his wife Beth and daughter Baby Lyssa out for lunch at The Ivy. Baby Lyssa’s not so little any more. Seems like only yesterday, Lyssa married her husband Bo and already she’s flaunting a major baby bump. This is a prolific and confusing family – Dog has at least fourteen biological children and several adopted ones. Did you know Dog is only 5’7″ tall? He seems much bigger.

THE IVY CHOKES ON A GLUT OF CELEBRITIES

On Sunday The Ivy was packed with celebrities yearning for publicity and attention. They all sat outside (at separate tables) as close to the paparazzi as possible and ironically they all walked out at once. Imagine the chaos as celebrities collided with valet parking attendants, pedestrians, fans and photographers in front of the restaurant! Camera loving Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Mel B and her questionable husband Stephen Belafonte, and the ubiquitous Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt all posed together as if they were old friends. Ozzy looks slimmer, and Heidi made sure her Chanel gloves and Hermes bag were prominently featured.

Melanie Griffith Sharon Stone Shopping The Ivy

NICE TO SEE SHARON STONE AND MELANIE GRIFFITH ARE GIRLFRIENDS

What could be more fun than spending an afternoon with Sharon Stone and Melanie Griffith on Robertson Blvd? We can’t figure out HOW these two became friends – it IS a surprise. Of course they started with lunch at The Ivy and all eyes were upon them.

We’re betting they had salads or swordfish and iced tea. After a gossipy lunch they left the Ivy (that guy in the light blue shirt looks familiar, doesn’t he?) and strolled down the street.

On the corner, the girls popped into the pricey but spectacular store Les Habitudes, where glamour-puss Melanie tried on a gown over her jeans and Sharon seriously considered a tailored English-looking jacket. They did a little more window shopping before they hopped in their identical Black Bentley convertibles and took off.

MILEY RAY CYRUS HAS A VALENTINE LUNCH AT THE IVY WITH HER MOM – OR SOMEONE WHO RESEMBLES HER

For some reason you don’t see a lot of photos of Miley Ray Cyrus and her mom Tish – she’s usually photographed with her dad Billy Ray. (At least we THINK this is her mom- can anyone out there positively identify her?) The two had a Valentine’s Day lunch at The Ivy and as soon as they got up to leave, typical teenager Miley started texting like mad.

Mischa Barton doesn’t want to be forgotten so she popped into the Ivy to make sure she’d be photographed looking fresh. It’s better that getting caught staggering out of a nightclub. The Keds people are certain to be disappointed in her choice of footwear.
