Nelly's Aide Gets a Smackdown Outside a Manhattan Club

Sometimes, being a personal assistant of a huge celebrity is not such an easy thing (Naomi Campbell's former staff members can probably testify for that in person). And it doesn't always get you into all the hot places, to hang with all the hot people, as Nelly Furtado's first aide can state.

A few nights ago, while the Canadian songbird was going for a night out with girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo, Nick Lachey's soul mate, to party at the Plumm nightclub, her personal assistant learned first-hand what it means to stir the wrath of a bouncer.

TMZ covered the story, having photographers right at the very door of the club, while eyewitnesses already talked to the press about the entire incident. Apparently, the (unnamed) aide was right behind the two beauties when they entered the club, but he lingered a few steps behind and did not want to be left out in the cold.

After Nelly and Vanessa went inside, he also tried to gain access into the club, slapped the bouncer on the shoulder and said 'Excuse me', as he was obviously blocking his way. At which the guard 'had a freaking heart attack. Next thing you know, he's got him by his arm and his hair', once of the witnesses told 'The Post'.

Contacted by the media, the two stars' spokespersons refused to make a comment, while the owner of the establishment denied that the altercation even took place. When a journalist asked him whether the bouncer is still an employee at the club, he hesitantly answered 'Well, yeah, I'm not sure about that' and ended the conversation.
