Meltdowns
Hollywood Hot Spot -- Smokin' Hot!

Basque -- the Hollywood club which was featured in movies like "Ocean's 11" and "Confidence" -- is on fire in Hollywood.


The bar/restaurant is located on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, right near the iconic Capitol Records building.

Firefighters arrived on scene at around 5:30 AM.

UPDATE: Firefighters are starting to break down some of their gear, though hoses are still dousing the building with water.

The flames appear to have subsided and the smoke has started to clear up in the area.

16. Hey 'children need to be off the computer', not that I don't agree with you (but then again, does that even matter?) aren't you being a bit hypocritical? You obviously care enough that you felt you had "to defend yourself even though you are using an anonomyous (sic) name just like the rest of us, and getting all upset, and having to reprimand" the other poster. And you know the biggest irony of your post? "The saddest part is, you will probably feel the need to respond. Pathetic." Hahaha thanks for the morning laugh!

18. children need to be off the computer - What's the matter honey, did you get turned down again last night? What are you, the blog monitor that b**ches everyone out? I bet you're an overweight, over bearing neighborhood grouch. Go away. And take your attitude with you.

23. This is actually so sad. I loved that bar. Not only because I met George Clooney there once, but because it was a really fun place to hang out and the staff was terrific!
