...booze isn't bootleg any more, but the Cotton Club is as jazzy as ever. Harlem's celebrated nightspot, which closed in the 1940s, reopened its doors last week. Cavorting together in the new digs were Duke Ellington's granddaughter, Mercedes Ellington and Cab Calloway, 70, who used to Hi-dee-ho at the club in the '30s. "Just another gig," shrugged Calloway, who does about 150 a year and has just recorded a disco version of his 1931 hit Minnie the Moocher. "I live good. I don't indulge in anything other than...

...what I like, and I like naked women," insisted Impresario Alain Bernardin, who was host at a 25th anniversary celebration for his Paris nightspot, the Crazy Horse Saloon. On hand was Choreographer George Balanchine, who came to France to watch his Ravel ballets at the Paris Opera. Said the appreciative Balanchine after surveying the legwork of Bernardin's 18 dancing show girls: "You ought to lend some of your ideas to the opera...
