Andy Warhol's Factory parties were the ultimate hot spot for an elite cabal of celebrities, radicals, drag queens and porn stars. There has never been a better place to rock out while on an amphetamine high amid mass-produced silkscreen paintings and a fleet of floating silver balloons.

Celine Dion (a little restraint please), Christina Aguilera (a lot of restraint, puh-leeze), Shania Twain ("Don't", that's the name of the song... so Torontoist has got to say...
