All Gabrielle Union wanted to do was party. Is that asking too much?

In an email circulated to publicists on Friday, Oct. 21, Union's rep warns off colleagues from doing business with hip Hollywood nightclub Mood. The star of ABC's "Night Stalker" was set to celebrate her 33rd birthday, hosted by Mood on Saturday, Oct. 29, but was allegedly turned away just a week before once the owner realized she was African American.

"I think you should all be aware of an incident that occurred with my client Gabrielle Union and the owner of Mood," reads the email from Holly Shakoor of BWR Public Relations. "Mood was going to host her birthday party which is a week away."

The message then goes on to say that David Judaken, owner of the hot spot, allegedly "didn't realize Gabrielle Union was black," but once he found out, he canceled the party.

"I thought she was the white volleyball player," Judaken allegedly told Shakoor, most likely referring to athlete/model Gabrielle Reece. "I don't want her kind of people in my club."

Judaken has denied the allegations, claiming that he instead booked another party that night and never finalized plans with Union. He is considering legal action for the bad publicity and would like a public apology.

The same day the email leaked to the press, BWR released the following statement: "The information you have received via email was inadvertently forwarded from an interoffice email. The interoffice email was relaying third hand information that we received regarding a client. This email was sent within the office and not intended to be forwarded outside of the company. It by no means reflects our official position on this matter. We expect this matter to be amicably resolved between the parties concerned."

Mood, a Balinese-inspired nightclub, features bamboo, batik and carved-wood accents. Some have described it as a temple representing "the conflict of religion and debauchery."

Besides starring as crime reporter Perri Reed in the supernatural drama "Night Stalker," Union has made guest appearances on "Friends," "ER," "7th Heaven" and "Family Guy."

She also has a successful film career with a resume that includes "Bring It On," "The Brothers," "Abandon," "Deliver Us from Eva," "Cradle II the Grave" and "Bad Boys II."
