CLUB BUZZ

The ownership is salivating over the re-opening of swank sweets shop Les Deux, and Drew Barrymore pays homage to her lineage with a new ballroom.

A sweet return for Les Deux

Popped into the Tropicana at the Roosevelt Hotel and bumped into slickster Lonnie Moore. The Dolce Group partner says it'll be about two weeks before he and his crew reopen the famed sweetery Les Deux Café, in the heart of Hollywood. And Les Deux fans should be thrilled because Moore says they are barely altering its original Parisian glam. Judging by his previous class acts (Dolce, Enoteca, Geisha House and Bella), Les Deux should be a very shiny penny in his chic loafers.... Crashed Ingrid Casares' birthday party Thursday at Social Hollywood, the swanky hotspot at the former Hollywood Athletic Club. The new club is by far the most ambitious and tasteful venue to hit Hollywood since its current renaissance. Its VIP second floor, Level 2, includes the Starlet Room, which is filled with gorgeous black-and-white photos of Hollywood dames from the past (including a dazzling teenage Jane Fonda). Word has it that Drew Barrymore is hosting Social Hollywood's grand opening the third week in June, when she'll unveil the Barrymore Ballroom, named after her great-uncle Lionel.... By the way, dining with Casares, a Miami nightclub owner and Madonna gal pal, was Brent Bolt-house and his fiancée, model Emma Hemmings. Bolthouse is flush with the success of Hyde, his intimate new lounge on Sunset that looks like a gilted jewel box. With its inverted roof and gold-on-gold warmth, everyone can feel like a genie in a bottle, including Christina Aguilera, who dined there last week.
