TWO aspiring actresses have filed a $500,000 lawsuit against a New York nightclub The Boom Boom room, saying they were fired as cocktail waitresses for being too short, Danceclubonline.com reported Wednesday.

Webster Hall owner Sean McGarr and his partner, Michael Sinensky, are spending $3 million to turn a former stable at 621 46th Street — a space also pursued by Ivan Kane for his controversial Forty Deuce project — into a nightclub and events hall named Hudson Terrace.
