HOLLYWOOD SPIN CYCLE

Micheline Wedderburn, owner/founder of Quad Spin, had a surprise celebrity spinner at her King Street location last weekend. Gerard Butler, in town shooting the workplace drama The Headhunter’s Calling, dropped by not exactly anonymously -- he signed in as himself -- to take Wedderburn’s class.

Heads spun as well. He does have a famously hot bod: Check out the muscled-sweaty-men-in-armour-and-short-skirts hit film 300.

Micheline Wedderburn and Gerard Butler bond after class. Wedderburn swears she didn’t recognize him but was blown away by his passion for spinning. Butler not only loved the class – which he rated as tough if not tougher than Soul Cycle -- he liked her playlist, especially song number three, a piece by Ed Sheeran.

I spin because I eat and drink Italian to excess. My fave Italian resto in the city is La Bruschetta on St. Clair W., which is just as authentic as the restaurants in Italy. Their carpaccio is magnifico. Here Silvia Piantoni, chief cook and bottle washer and daughter of founder Benito, poses with our displaced Abu Dhabi pal Mo Gannon, after a memorable reunion dinner.
