Mike 'Boogie' Malin Fails To Fly After Tumbling Through Les Deux Skylight

To the casual onlooker, Mike "Boogie" Malin leads an existence worth coveting: a self-made nightlife entrepreneur with first pick of the aspiring-starlet veal, Malin is perhaps most famous for quarantining himself on national TV and walking away from the experience $1 million richer. But there's an ugly underside to life in the Hollywood fast lane, strewn with suspicious growths, nights in Denver jail, partners accused of rape, and now, courtesy of Eater LA, this:

"Rumor has it that Mike "Boogie" Malin (partner of the dolce group and winner of big brother 7) fell thru the skylight last Friday night at Les Deux and was rushed to the hospital."

There was something about hanging out with Jennifer Capriati (the tennis player) after a Van Halen concert in the VIP room at Les Deux, which has access to the roof. Apparently, according to Dolce PR (who's had quite the workout this week, to say the least), Malin decided he had to adjust some Christmas decorations on the roof, misstepped and slipped through the skylight that overlooks the nightclub. Capriati pulled him out, he's fine, but a little sore.

A few inches to the left and this misstep could have wound up far more tragic, taking not only Malin, but a U.S. Open comeback queen with a lightly checkered past who failed to move aside before being crushed beneath him. From now on, Malin will hopefully resist the obsessive-compulsive urge to constantly straighten the festive Les Deux sign reading: "Santa's Lap, That Way (Naughty Girls Only)," accompanied by a flashing arrow pointing to the manager's office.

In an odd bit of slimy serendipity, Eater LA just yesterday noticed a promo for new Bravo reality show The Millionaire Matchmaker featuring none other than Dolce Group co-owner and criminal complaint target Lonnie Moore, essentially turning his televised search for Miss Right into Accused Rapist Love Connection. We'll be back in two-and-two. [Eater LA]

Les Deux Owner Lonnie Moore Accused Of Rape

Because nothing says Christmas like the sound of a self-inking stamper ka-chunking the word "FILED" onto a criminal complaint accusing one of L.A.'s most high-profile nightlife impresarios of rape, we bring you this disturbing story: Last August, Skye-Anne Smith was an underage patron of local professional catfighting arena Les Deux. She claims Dolce Group co-owner Lonnie Moore, partner of Big Brother All-Stars winner Mike "Boogie" Malin, plied her with drinks, then led her to what she believed was the VIP area, but was actually a dimly lit "manager's lounge" equipped with a bed:

A 19-year-old girl has filed a lawsuit against Les Deux nightclub, claiming she was plied with alcohol and then anally and vaginally raped by the owner.

The suit alleges one of the owners suggest to Moore that Smith shouldn't be in the club because of her age. The alleged response from Moore: "I don't care. She's hot."

An incendiary volley of he said/she said will likely follow, and while Moore's reputation might never fully recover, he can at least count upon being fully backed by his fiercely loyal Dolce partners, who'd sooner fall on their own mojito swizzle sticks than renege on their lifelong pledge of "bros before drunken, underage hos who knowingly lied about their age and insisted at the time that their tender lovemaking was consensual."

Mike 'Boogie' Malin Celebrates Boston's World Series Victory In A Denver Jail Cell

It seems The Dolce Group restaurant impresario and Big Brother All-Stars $1 million-winner Mike Malin, whom last we checked in with for his weekly penile-wart singeing, wound up in a Denver jail cell after allegedly demonstrating a little too much enthusiasm over the Boston Red Sox's recent World Series victory. Eater LA has the scoop:

We're tipped off that Mike Malin spent 15 hours in a jail cell following Game 4 of the World Series "for allegedly assaulting a waitress at a local sports bar."

We have no idea what kind of assault, but Dolce Group PR tells us, "Malin is working with his legal team to properly handle the misunderstanding and the charges."

While the details of this "misunderstanding" remain sketchy, we'd put nothing past Malin's well-documented party-animal ways; certainly, calling over a cocktail waitress for a round of Irish Car Bombs—only to have the server come face-to-face with a patron chanting "We're #1! We're #1!," naked save for his swaying, semi-alert member sheathed in a red wool sock—would be the kind of characteristic behavior that might find the local entrepreneur sobering up on the cold metal bench of a Denver jail cell.
