Tonight the delicious duo welcome musical duo Nuttin’ But Stringz, who’ll perform with Aretha Franklin January 19 at the Kennedy Center in Washington. D.C., as part of President-elect Barack Obama’s weeklong inauguration festivities. NBS is comprised of brothers Damien and Tourie Escobar, both of whom are violinists – and native New Yorkers. The up-and-coming act, which fuses jazz, classical, hip-hop and R&B, broke out of the pack this summer by placing No. 3 on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.”

Also on tonight’s edition of “ANY,” nightlife mavens Amber and Kelly deliver their weekly club report. This week’s pick? Southside in Manhattan’s perpetually chic SoHo district. Doing its nabe justice, the lounge was recently hailed by Time Out New York for being “ritzy” with a “British Colonial look.” Meanwhile, be sure to check out “ANY: DC” – the “director’s cut” of last week’s debut edition of Access New York. You’ll not only catch snippets of the girls on-air, but see them in action as the take off post-show for a night on the town.

Singer Amber Lee Ettinger (left) – aka “Obama Girl” – and Kelly Brady of “MTV PoweR Girls” fame are teaming up for a fast-paced peek inside the world’s hottest celebrity scene. Coming to you live from the Big Apple, these glam-a-licious gals deliver weekly reviews on their favorite clubs – and the latest dish on those bold-face names they’ve been hanging with. Joining Amber and Kelly to punctuate their power reports will be a steady stream of celeb guests and media insiders.


On this debut edition of the “ANY,” the delicious duo let you in on the secrets of getting ushered past the velvet rope of Manhattan’s hottest new hotspot, the Eldrige, where entrance requires a “laser-engraved entry card.”


Newly opened this summer, the Eldridge has no bartenders. Instead, those staffers pouring libations are called “butlers.” Ditto waitresses – who are known as “table attendants.” To date, the luxe lounge, which has a maximum capacity of 85 people, has roped in bold-faced names like Kate Moss and Michelle Trachtenberg.


And even though your name may not be quite as bold, Eldridge owner Matt Levine will offer hints on getting into his club, as well as other Big Apple and L.A. hot spots.
