As seen on "Extra," Jeff Henry, Director of VIP Services at glam Hollywood hotspot The Kress offers up tips on how to hang with the A-list. On September 21st, the Kress will be the site of the most sought after ticket in town, TV Guide's Emmy after-party. Here's how to get into that luxe club and ushered to the right table...

Don't name drop -- it will always fall on the doorman's deaf ears.

As will the following:

• "I know the owner." Never heard that one before.
• "I've got my own show." Where, on cable access?
• "I recently signed a record deal." Then why are you in line and not in the VIP section?
• "I just came out of the studio." Translation: studio apartment.
• "I'm a writer." That's so original in L.A.
• "I have my dad's black card." Underage alert!

Dos & Don'ts of Clubdom:

• Travel in small packs -- preferably three females to each guy.
• Reverse sexism works well in clubland, so if you're a dude, hitch to your girlfriend's wagon.
• Arrive before 10:30 PM. While maybe not the luxest move, an early bird avoids the line.
• Make a table reservation.
• Order bottle service.
• Don't try to "big-time" the bouncer.
• Get on the club's VIP or reduced-priced email list.
• Kill the doorman with kindness. Be polite and grease palms when necessary, but it may cost you beaucoup bucks.
• Don't valet your wheels unless you're rolling large. You will never get in when you pull up in an eyesore.

Dress to Impress:

• Be fashionable, chic and cool. Goes without saying.
• No shorts or flip flops. This isn't the gym!
• Whenever possible, arrive with a great-looking gal pal in tow. Or better yet, find a celebrity lookalike.
• A sexy, little black dress will definitely open doors. Bouncers are superficial folk after all.

Party like the celebs! For a guaranteed in, round up your posse and make a table rezzie at The Kress. When you crunch the numbers, the cost of that bottle won't hurt too bad. Best of all, you avoided waiting in line with all the riff-raff!
