Joaquin's name dropped re being seen at Voyeur....
Just to get everybody on the same page, it wasn't Michael Steele who dropped close to two grand at a Santa Monica nightclub, it was a committee member, Erik Brown.
And the nightclub that Brown partied at on the Republican National Committee's dime may have been a tad risque, but it was nothing more than a nightclub maybe just a bit more ... "sophisticated."
"It's not a strip club, it's not a bondage club, it's not an S&M club," Voyeur spokeswoman Sarah Waldman told Yeas & Nays. "It's an elite Hollywood nightclub that caters to high end clientele."
"Um it does have a sexually sophisticated atmosphere," she continued, "but it is most certainly not a strip club or a sex club."
Bottle service at the club, known to host a range of celebrities (from A-list to D-list), starts at $350.
Heidi Klum threw her annual Halloween party at Voyeur in October that her husband Seal, Paris Hilton, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jessica Alba and Queen Latifah attended.
Just last week, "The Hills" stars Kristin Cavallari, Audrina Patridge, Stephanie Pratt and Brody Jenner were spotted there filming their show.
Other stars seen at the hot spot: Joaquin Phoenix, Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan, Corey Feldman and Shannen Doherty.
Sure, an RNC dude blowing through donor cash on organic cocktails with liberal Hollywood types doesn't seem right, but as the Los Angeles Times affirmed when the nightclub opened its doors: "This is not a sex club."
