Trendy Socialista slapped with Hepatitis A warning
 Recent patrons of Socialista, the basement celebrity grotto in the Far West Village are being warned by the health department that they may have been exposed to Hepatitis A.
"Any patron who visited the establishment after 8 p.m. on February 7th or 8th, or after 10 p.m. on February 11th (the times the infected person worked after becoming infectious), is considered to be at risk and needs a preventive shot," the NYC department of Mental Health and Hygiene.
Among those 700 to 800 people possibly caught in the alert: Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Salma Hayek, Kate Hudson, Demi Moore, Bruce Willis and Lucy Liu,
as they were all reportedly at the bar February 7 celebrating Ashton Kutcher's 30th birthday.
The "bartender apparently got hepatitis on a recent vacation to Honduras," according to The Wall Street Journal's health blog.
Socialista is located at 505 West St., map, at Jane, in the basement of the waterfront building that also houses the 211-room Hotel Riverview, a recently skeevy hotel that's headed for a boutique makeover by the same team responsible for the Bowery Hotel and Maritime Hotel.
