Gwyneth Paltrow is backing a new hot spot in Los Angeles that will offer some public space as well as an area for club members only.<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2016/02/10/plans-for-gwyneth-paltrow-swanky-private-club-released/" target="_blank">Fox News</a> reports the same people who will bring you a <a href="http://www.gensler.com/projects" target="_blank">tower in Shanghai</a> are bringing some class to the part of Sunset in Los Angeles that once housed the Hustler Hollywood store.The report states that architecture firm Gensler is providing designs for the 132,000-square-foot building that is being backed by the same actress seen in such movies as "Shakespeare in Love" and the "Iron Man" franchise.As noted, the designs need to be approved, so this is for the moment a building based solely in optimism and possibility.However, you only need take a look at the European chapter of the club that will welcome Los Angeles elite: <a href="http://www.theartsclub.co.uk/" target="_blank">London's Art Club</a>.READ MORE: <a href="http://www.travelpulse.com/news/entertainment/check-out-the-gorgeous-mexican-airbnb-gwyneth-paltrow-just-enjoyed.html" target="_self">Check Out The Gorgeous Mexican Airbnb Gwyneth Paltrow Just Enjoyed</a>Membership in that particular London haunt ranges from ?1000 a year with a ?1000 joining fee to a "Full Membership" that goes for ?2000 with a ?2000 joining fee.And this very site will see something of a west coast chapter stick ever so gingerly into the L.A. skyline.However, even if you have the money you still need to be invited into the club, according to Fox News. So it's kind of like a super, secret tree house that only the cool kids get to access.Thanks for bringing up bad childhood memories, Paltrow.READ MORE: <a href="http://www.travelpulse.com/news/destinations/los-angeles-sets-new-tourism-record-with-455-million-visitors.html" target="_self">Los Angeles Sets New Tourism Record with 45.5 Million Visitors</a>Now that same kind of exclusivity comes to Hollywood, sitting in the same space that welcomed so many with sexual curiosities into the Hustler store.Once completed, there will be a mix of space for those with member's access as well as those people who walk the streets anonymously.The report states that the massive building will also have retail space for those regular humanoids with only a passing interest in arts, literature and the finer things in life.Founded in 1863, the <a href="http://www.theartsclub.co.uk/theclub/history" target="_blank">Art's Club's</a> website explains the impetus behind the private affair: "This Club is instituted for the purpose of facilitating the social intercourse of those connected with, or interested in Art, Literature or Science."Now the club might be for members, but you can live vicariously through its Twitter feed:<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">Members' enjoyed a private tour of <a href="https://twitter.com/galeriamayoral">@galeriamayoral</a>'s latest exhibition, Miró's Studio, this morning <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ArtBreakfast?src=hash">#ArtBreakfast</a> <a href="https://t.co/8a2t8Dgu7K">pic.twitter.com/8a2t8Dgu7K</a>- The Arts Club (@The_Arts_Club) <a href="https://twitter.com/The_Arts_Club/status/697392527490555905">February 10, 2016</a></blockquote><InvalidTag async src=" " charset="utf-8">##</script><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">If you're a fan of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/whisky?src=hash">#whisky</a>, Kyubi's rare and extensive collection of Japanese whiskies is one to applaud! <a href="https://t.co/GTgZGaC9vl">pic.twitter.com/GTgZGaC9vl</a>- The Arts Club (@The_Arts_Club) <a href="https://twitter.com/The_Arts_Club/status/695573797575991296">February 5, 2016</a></blockquote><InvalidTag async src=" " charset="utf-8">##</script><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">The mighty <a href="https://twitter.com/idriselba">@idriselba</a> behind the decks in 1863 last night having performed an extraordinary set for our members! <a href="https://t.co/OJCP7JJxri">pic.twitter.com/OJCP7JJxri</a>- The Arts Club (@The_Arts_Club) <a href="https://twitter.com/The_Arts_Club/status/690835936318459905">January 23, 2016</a></blockquote><InvalidTag async src=" " charset="utf-8">##</script>That's right. Sometimes Luther himself shows up to DJ.Someday in the future, if all goes according to plan, you can walk down Sunset, look up at the immediate skyline and wonder what all the Hollywood elites are up to.Like any other night, really.
