While the celebrity lineup for many of the official events remains TBD, Marc Barnes has managed to pin down some VIPs for open-to-the-public inaugural parties at his landmark Love nightclub: Jay-Z will host next Friday's party (tickets start at $75); Diddy at a BET Honors after-party on Saturday the 17th ($50); Akon, T.I. and Young Jeezy on Sunday the 18th ($50). Oh, and some other names on other days (go look it up yourself!). And will Mrs. Jay-Z accompany her husband (the elusive Beyoncé, who said of the Obama inaugural, "if they need me ... I'm there")? If Barnes knows, he's not saying.
