The Opium Group always seems to get the hottest celebrities to party at its clubs. Diddy, Matt Damon, Busta Rhymes and Nicole Richie have been spotted at Opium and Privé, while the ubiquitous Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé have all hung out at Mansion. If that's not enough name-dropping for you, then consider that Alyssa Milano, Missy Elliott and Jay-Z have hosted parties for the group. These clubs are always packed and throw some of the most exclusive parties in South Florida. But if they weren't so exclusive, the status-hungry stars -- and their sycophantic followers -- would stay away.
