br> Former President Bill Clinton recently spent several days in London for a speech and a lot of partying. The most conspicuous evening out came when the ex-prez, his security team of 15, and his "private party" of 19, which included several attractive, single women picked up along the way at a dinner in Clinton's honor, built up a tab of more than $15,000 at a London club called Groucho's. But no one is laughing about the bill. Included in the total: champagne, several bottles of scotch, bourbon and vodka, plates of hors d'oeuvres, which featured caviar and foie gras and Cuban cigars. And that doesn't include the bill daughter Chelsea and several of her pals added on to the total when they arrived. Clinton left the club before the bill could be paid. /p>

"The private company that paid for Mr. Clinton's speech will cover the tab," says a Clinton associate. "That's the way it's done. You cover his speech, his hotel and his entertainment. If you want the president, you pay."
