Tyson Takes a Corner at Chocolate Bar

We don’t know if he was talking anyone’s ear off, but Mike Tyson was spotted last week at the ultra-cool hip-hop nightspot Chocolate Bar, a Tuesday night club that takes place at Pedro’s Bar & Grill in Los Feliz. . . . Another hip-hop outing that attracted a few heavyweights of its own took place on Monday at the Hollywood Athletic Club, where rapper Mack 10 celebrated the release of his latest album, “Based on a True Story.” Joined by Ice Cube, Mack rapped to a packed audience that included Snoop Dogg, Daz from Tha Dogg Pound, Ant Banks, DJ Pooh, King T, actor Chris Tucker and rapper WC, who along with Cube and Mack 10 comprise the rap super-group Westside Connection. . . .

If you haven’t been out to see Tenacious D yet, it’s really time to get off the ol’ couch. You can catch the musical mayhem on Oct. 6, when the duo performs with Wench at Billboard Live on the Sunset Strip. Or stay tuned to HBO, which will be airing Tenacious D short films in October.
