I don't know what to believe anymore when it comes to Fred Khalilian's press releases. That would be the former owner of Club Paris, and the soon to be Dolce Nightclub.
First he was going to have a show on the air to find the new face of Club Paris after they split their partnership, that show never happened. Then Club Paris was going to close but that didn't happen until a month after the announcement. Then he was going to open a new nightclub in the space on Central Boulevard in downtown Orlando that used to be Cairo. Not so much on that one either, because the name of that club that would have been on Central (according to a press release) was supposed to be Dolce and now according to another press release from Khalilian he's opening Dolce Nightclub where Club Paris used to stand at 122 W. Church St. in downtown Orlando.
In fact, the grand opening is this weekend. I'll be out of town, so I won't know if what is essentially a repainted Club Paris will actually open this weekend. I've learned not to trust those press releases, but one thing I feel certain about is that Paris Hilton won't be attending. In other words, don't expect too much of a difference between Dolce and Club Paris.
Fred is full of himself. He's also full of BS. Club Paris only lasted as long as it did because Lou Pearlman didn't collect any rent from Ole Fast Talken Freddie Boy. If Cameron Kuhn actually collects the rent each month Dolce will last about 3 months. Freddie does not have the sophistication, taste or social skills to attract and retain an upscale crowd. I'm surprised that Mr. Kuhn would want to have a tenet with Freddie's record of telemarketing scams, battery on law enforcement officials, and repeat date violence (check public records) associated with his vision of an upscale and family friendly Church Street Station. I guess Freddie's posturing on Tv will make people forget that Mr. Kuhn has not delivered on the Movie theater that's supposed to open in the Plaza.

Id just like to say that the owner of Dolce Nightclub is in fact a bad business man, a crook, a liar, and a bad employer. In spite of all of this he has an amazing staff that he takes advantage of and belittles on a daily baisis. If the club is to make it through its first year it wont be because of Fred it will be because once again his team will have made the impossible, possible. Good luck to you guys I'm rooting for you all as for Fred no comment.
