The Spotlight

You never know who you’ll run into at The Spotlight bar. It’s famous for being the oldest gay dive-bar in Hollywood and tends to attract hustlers, assorted street trade, transgenders, and the people who appreciate them. (Brad Pitt tried to buy this bar awhile back and change it into something hipper, but we’re happy to say it didn’t work out.) The place very entertaining so it shouldn’t be surprising that Johnny Knoxville turned up. On a recent visit he was sharing a booth with two girls described as looking like ‘hillbillies.” They had bleached hair and black roots, tiny miniskirts, giant platform shoes , and one wore a “cheap looking” rabbit fur jacket. Good looking Johnny caused quite a buzz in the place – he downed several beers and was friendly to everyone.
