A spy for NY Daily News JV gossip Lloyd Grove escapes from Drew Carey's Hollywood compound, filing this brief report about a very special room tucked away in the actor's house:

Looks like comedian Drew Carey takes the comfort of his houseguests very seriously. A Lowdown spy who recently visited Carey's Hollywood Hills home discovered a large, windowless chamber with padded walls. It's apparently nicknamed the "make-out room" and is filled with candles, blankets, pillows and "a bunch of mattresses on the floor."

Indeed, "The Make-Out Room" sounds much more enticing and harmless than its unofficial name, "The Last Place Anyone Saw Those Strippers From Crazy Girls."
