It’s not the first time this has happened, and it probably won’t be the last: Celebrities talked about the Clermont Lounge on a late-night talk show.

On "The Late Late Show with James Corden" Tuesday, actress Lily James  was asked about shooting "Baby Driver" in Atlanta.

Corden asked her if it was true that there was a “famous strip club” that she’d go to Atlanta.

James confirmed, saying she bought a lot of colorful and tie-dye T-shirts bearing the slogan “I saw your mama dancing at the Clermont Lounge.”

Corden asked other guests on the show, Kate Mara, who was on “House of Cards,” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” actress Jane Krakowski, if they’d been to the Clermont before.

Mara said she believes she’s also been there. Krakowski said she hasn’t been there, but joked that she now has as a backup plan for employment.

On "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in 2014, Lady Gaga discussed kind of getting advice from one of the Clermont's dancers.

The lounge has been temporarily closed since early this year to accommodate the redevelopment of the historic Clermont Motor Hotel into an upscale boutique hotel.

Healthcare at College Park, a nursing home in Fulton County, GA, stands shuttered with its door chained on July 26, 2025, having closed in recent months.  Researchers at Brown University developed a list of U.S. nursing homes they predicted were at risk of closing based on 2023 data, and would be at elevated risk of closing due to the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act's cuts to Medicaid. Healthcare at College Park was on their list.  It survived past its last federal inspection in August of 2024 but has now closed down. The bill's biggest provisions will roll out over years starting Jan. 1. (Ariel Hart/AJC)
