A-listers flew through the doors for the Aug. 17 opening of LAX, Adam Goldstein a.k.a. DJ AM's new Hollywood club. Along for the ride—hosted by nightlife king Brent Bolthouse—were AM's fiancée, Nicole Richie, and her pals Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton, who hung close at a booth near the dance floor. This was a convenient spot for both Lohan, who kept her distance from ex Wilmer Valderrama, and Barton, who tore it up, bouncing and waving her arms for a half-hour, especially to Beyoncé's "Crazy In Love." Enrique Iglesias (sans Anna Kournikova) palled around with Velvet Revolver's Matt Sorum. A solo Jessica Simpson bopped to Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" with pals. Jesse Metcalfe quietly trawled the club, as Jessica Alba soaked in the party vibe with beau Cash Warren. As for rumors that AM and Richie had a tiff over her dancing with another guy while Goldstein was DJ-ing (left), Richie assures us all is well: "It couldn't be further from the truth. We had a great time."
