Jennifer Aniston has "cheat days. " You know, the day you don't think about diet or exercise and just eat what ever you want. Here at the Ministry, that's every day. But we digress. On Tuesday night, the "We're the Millers" actress hit the Self magazine book party to f ête her long-time friend and yoga instructor Mandy Ingber's new book, " Yogalosophy: 28 Days to the Ultimate Mind-Body Makeover, " at West Hollywood's Soho House. She also wore an plunging babydoll-style little black dress that had tabloids everywhere questioning whether she was concealing a baby bump.

The panoramic views of the city were stunning, but nobody really noticed. Not when CAA titan Bryan Lourd was hosting a long, formal dining table that included manager Jason Weinberg, Matt Dillon, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. Across the room, indie-film power couple Cassian Elwes and Holly Wiersma breezily greeted Endeavor agents, while Working Title partner Eric Fellner huddled with pals. Penelope Cruz was expected. Maybe even Tom Cruise too. "Are you a member?" one agent asked another.

For some Angelenos over 30, finding a place to go out on a weekend without dealing with loud, crowded clubs and tacky bars has become nothing less than night life's holy grail. Increasingly, many are even willing to pay annual dues for the privilege of a semi-private experience via members clubs such as Soho House. But lately, Soho House has become too busy and loud for a certain swath of drinkers, leaving precious few options for Westside socialites. Enter the bohemian private rooftop club and Butterfly Bar at West Hollywood's Petit Ermitage Hotel.

Last week, interior designer Amanda Masters alighted, ever so briefly, on an Ultrasuede banquette built into the circular sunken living room in a 1990s Mt. Olympus McBachelor Pad. The clock was ticking relentlessly. Masters had just six more days and a budget of about $250,000 to transform the 10,000-square-foot home into an Oscar-week-only version of Soho House, the London-based private club for the film and media elite.

Brit-born Cat Deeley is back as host of the Fox hit "So You Think You Can Dance," now in its seventh season, but her experience with the show hasn't done much to improve her own floor skills. "No, not at all — I'm terrible," said the 33-year-old former model. "I ought to try nudging up against them to see if some of their talent rubs off on me. But one thing that has grown is my appreciation of dancers. When I was a child, I used to be taken occasionally to the ballet or to see 'The Nutcracker' at Christmas, but I had never taken a proper interest in dancing until I started doing the show, and I think a lot of people watching at home feel the same way. Once in a while there is a performance in which everything is just so right that something magical happens.

It's billed as the most exclusive new club in Los Angeles. But some neighbors in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills don't want the late-night carousing, traffic jams or paparazzi they fear will accompany the opening of the Los Angeles chapter of the decidedly British, members-only SoHo House. More than 80 residents have signed an appeal by the West Hollywood-Beverly Hills Neighborhood Assn. against allowing SoHo House to move into the top two floors of Luckman Plaza at 9200 Sunset Blvd.
