Tongue and Groove is celebrating its 17th anniversary on November 17th. The place has seen a lot of action and celebrity antics. In honor of its anniversary, co-owner Michael Krohngold listed off his favorite non-paid celebrity moments at the nightclub over the years. Some are pretty tame, but others - Oh, Diddy. You are so above the law - are funny.
Here's the list straight from Krohngold's mouth/PR person:
1. Mick Jagger, with a towel draped around his neck, dancing by himself, while an enormous security guard kept unworthy potential partners from invading his personal space.
2. Janet Jackson hiding behind her hoodie and canoodling with Jermaine Dupri (before they went public with their relationship), and shyly asking U.S. Open tennis champ Andy Roddick and companion Mandy Moore, if they could have their table?!3. Sunglass-clad Cee Lo Green spontaneously belting out “Crazy” while standing on a sofa.
4. REM frontman Michael Stipe hanging with actor pal Stephen Dorff, trying to avoid talking to anyone.
5. Regular Dallas Austin hosting good friends Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Denzel Washington, Quincy Jones, and Wesley Snipes.
6. Kid Rock “singing Sweet home Alabama a capella while waiting in line for the VIP bathroom.
7. Usher standing outside the Peachtree Road entrance virtually unnoticed in 1997, waiting on his SUV. Hanging out recently after his split with Tameka doing his best to keep from getting swarmed.
8. Jane Fonda dancing to Justin Timberlake’s “Bringing sexy back”, during her GCAP benefit, giving real meaning to the hit song.
