Michael Jackson Glove Sells Big
Posted in Las Vegas, Michael Jackson on the October 14, 2009
Last week, a major piece of Michael Jackson memorabilia sold for a major amount of money. An illuminating glove that the King of Pop wore on his 1984 Victory tour sold for $70,800 at an auction in Los Angeles. Some of the other items up for grabs was a Martin d-28 guitar used by Elvis during his last performance in Las Vegas which sold for $106,200, a bull whip used by Harrison Ford in the ‘Indiana Jones’ movies which sold for $56,050 and a full Velociraptor from ‘Jurassic Park’ which sold for $76,700. Apparently, whoever bought those things haven’t heard of the recession.

Enrique Iglesias Makes People Sleep
Posted in Concert, Enrique Iglesias, Las Vegas on the January 2, 2009
Enrique Iglesias recently had an interview with London’s Metro. He spoke of a pretty interesting gig. He said “My worst gig was a charity concert in Las Vegas where the entire audience were 90 and older and were all asleep. You could have sprayed them with cocaine and nothing would have happened. My target audience is females between the ages of 70 and 85.” You know you’re a has-been wher even the elderly don’t want to listen to you or even merit pause to look at and appreciate your young hot body. He should really just give up. How much lower is he willing to go after that?
Kenny Chesney at ACMAs
Posted in Academy of Country Music Awards, Kenny Chesney, Las Vegas on the May 21, 2008
Kenny Chesney was the big winner at the 2008 Academy of Country Music Awards which was held at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas on Sunday. Oddly enough, Kenny thought of the win as a big sham as the fans were involved in the voting. In a rant that I bet he’s going to regret for a long time, Kenny said that the Academy had turned the ‘Entertainer of the Year’ category “into a sweepstakes to see who can push people’s buttons the hardest on the Internet. … It really diminishes the integrity of the music.†Ironically, if you go to his MySpace page, there’s a banner telling fans to vote for him which also links to the ACM website. For the record, he thanked the fans for voting for him anyway.

For the umpteenth time since they first paired up for the 2003 hit ‘Crazy in Love’ real-life musicians and lovers Jay-Z and Beyonce are teaming up. And it’s also shaping up to be the hottest ticket for the New Year’s Eve weekend.
Life & Style magazine is reporting that the first couple of hip hop will perform together around 12:30 am on December 30 for the Las Vegas opening of Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club. A friend of the couple reveals that the 37-year old rapper “wants his club to be the ultimate in entertainment. He knows the buzz is going to be huge.”
Michael Jackson Is Not Married
Posted in Las Vegas, Michael Jackson, Music, Music People, Photography, Pop Music, Rumor on the September 29, 2007
New real estate documents suggesting Michael Jackson has wed his children’s nanny are fake, according to the pop star’s publicist. Editors at the National Enquirer have printed the legal papers in their current issue, alongside an article in which they claim Jackson wed Grace Rwaramba in Las Vegas earlier this year. I don’t think that Michael Jackson can be happily married because he lacks the ability to connect with a WOMAN. No matter how many times he marries, it’s JUST not going to work. (Round peg square hole won’t fit). If it didn’t work with LISA MARIE, with that KISS, it ain’t gonna work, it just ain’t gonna happen and I do not feel sorry for Michael either. (Excuse my improper English) I believe that unless Michael gets a lot of therapy he will continue this process. Maybe he’s marring for the sake of the KIDS, You think?

Britney No Pop Queen Anymore
Posted in Britney Spears, Celebs, Las Vegas, MTV, MTV VMA, Music, Music Award, Music People, Pop Music, Singers, TV Show on the September 11, 2007
Let’s face it Brittany coming out on MTV and trying to act sweet and innocent just does not cut it any more. Someone should tell her that she needs to change her style know she is a mom. I think that the guidance for her is lost somewhere in trying to sell something that is just not there anymore. She will never be a Madonna because she is not smart enough to reinvent herself. Brittany sit down and take a long look at yourself and ask yourself if you are proud of what you do and then figure out if the people in your life look out for your best interest.. If not take control girl… May be she is trying to hard to prove something that she was in the past but now she has lost it, Britney you were great no denying that but you could remain great if you just try being what you are today. Do not live in the past, the world changes every minute and you have to live your today not you past and today there are other pop queens’ and you are not one of them, accept it and you’ll be happier.
Kanye West Loses It Again, Says He’ll ‘Never Return To MTV’
Posted in 50 Cent, Britney Spears, Celebs, Kanye West, Las Vegas, MTV, MTV VMA, Music, Music Award, Music People, Performance, Photography, TV Show, Video on the September 11, 2007
Kanye West has never been shy about voicing his opinions, especially when it comes to awards shows.
In 2004, he walked out of the American Music Awards, claiming he was “robbed” in the Best New Artist category (see “Usher, Outkast Clean Up; Kanye Strikes Out At American Music Awards”). The following year, he promised hellfire and brimstone if his Late Registration album didn’t take home the Grammy for Album of the Year (see “Kanye’s At It Again: ‘If I Don’t Win Album Of The Year I’m Gonna Have A Problem’ “). And, perhaps most famously of all, he stormed the stage at the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards after losing the award for Video of the Year And now, well, there’s another outburst to add to his highlight reel.
According to several sources backstage at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards — and a report published late Sunday night by The Associated Press — West lost it again, this time because his performance of “Stronger” took place in the Palms’ Hugh Hefner Sky Villa and not on the main stage
“Kanye was watching the closing performance [a medley featuring Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Nelly Furtado] on a closed-circuit monitor, and he started getting upset,” a source who was backstage told MTV News. “He started asking anyone who’d listen why he wasn’t allowed to perform on the main stage. ‘Why did I perform in just a suite?’ he was saying. ‘Justin’s my boy, but even he gets to perform in both a suite and on the main stage? Something’s wrong here.’ ”
According to the AP, West was also upset about being shut out of all five categories in which he was nominated . He reportedly yelled, “That’s two years in a row, man … I’m trying hard, man, I have the … #1 record, man.”
AP also reported that West claimed he would “never return to MTV.”
At a pre-VMA concert on Friday, West also expressed his frustration that Britney Spears would be opening the show instead of him, freestyling, “I can’t believe she would perform. She hasn’t had a hit record in years” . And according to MTV News’ source, he was claiming the same thing during his tirade.
“He said, ‘Brit hasn’t had a hit in like 5 million years and she opens the show?!?’ ” the source said.
Britney Glitters, Justin and Rihanna Golden at VMAs
Posted in Britney Spears, Celebs, Hip-Hop, Justin Timberlake, Las Vegas, MTV, MTV VMA, Music, Music Award, Music People, Performance, Photography, R&B, Rihanna, TV Show, Video on the September 10, 2007
Oh Britney. You have given us yet another performance where you lipsynch, and badly, while wearing as little as possible, to a song no one will remember in six months. This is nothing new, and sadly, it’s actually worse than ever. Maybe now is time to embrace the fact that talent is actually a necessity when attempting a singing career. Shocking though it may be, some actually enjoy singers who can, well, sing well. You might look into a career more fitting to your needs; should anyone need an unintelligent, burnt out, baby dropping train wreck, I am sure you will be the first person they call. This was actually the best thing you could have done; you have finally put an end to your career. Thank you MTV. This is even better than when you canceled the Tom Green show. Justin Timberlake shouted upon accepting the inaugural Moon Man trophy for Quadruple Threat of the Year, one of four new hyperbolically titled honors handed out in lieu of standards like Best R&B or Best Hip-Hop Video. Timberlake was also named the VMAs’ Male Artist of the Year.

Kid Rock Spins
Posted in Celebs, Concert, Justin Timberlake, Las Vegas, Music, Music People, Performance, Photography, Rock, Singers on the September 4, 2007
Las Vegas has never been more popping. First there was Britney then there was Justin Timberlake and Timbaland and then there was Kid Rock.
Kid Rock and about thirty of his cronies partied in Sin city over the weekend. A witness says that Kid Rock’s entourage of party people, which included Sugar Ray front man Mark McGrath, went into the Moon Nightclub and took over the main party table by the dance floor. When the liquor started pouring, Kid Rock took a turn on the tables for about an hour.
He seemed to be a happy camper and why wouldn’t he be? He had a kick ass sold-out Labor Day kickoff show at the Pearl Concert Theater before he started partying.
Britney Spears To Open The VMAS?
Posted in Britney Spears, Celebs, Las Vegas, MTV, Music, Music Award, Music People, Pop Music, Rap Music, Rock, Song, TV Show, Video on the August 27, 2007
Britney Spears is hotly tipped to make her live music comeback by opening the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas next month. Sources close to the pop superstar have revealed there’s a “very strong chance” the Toxic singer will perform a new song right at the start of the ceremony. I bet if she is slated to appear she’ll cancel at the last minute! Or they’ll announce her name for her to come out and Brit will be a no show! This will more than likely happen seeing as she’s canceled on alot of people recently! But oh well I really don’t care cause I just don’t watch MTV..just stating my opinion! Always My doubts are there for this singer coz every time there’s a positive story of her come back the very next day she proves herself to be more crazy and I don’t think she can come back like.
Celine Dion To Open World Tour With First South African Dates
Posted in Celebs, Concert, Las Vegas, Music, Music People, Pop Music, Song on the July 23, 2007
Celine Dion will play her first South African concerts when she tours the world in 2008. The Canadian singer, who has spent the past three years performing nightly at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, will kick start her upcoming world tour with a St. Valentine’s Day show at the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg. The corporate gala concert will be followed by shows in Pretoria, Durban and Port Elizabeth, and Dion is also slated to perform at a winery in Somerset West, according to Billboard.com. Her song from the movie ‘Titanic’ My Will Go On made many a people cry but it made more people laugh, cos though it was sung beautiful, it became so famous and played so many times for so long that in the end it started sounding like a grief song. This one song that shouldn’t be played when you are dating your girlfriend and this is one song that will always be associated with the movie ‘Titanic’ which also looked more like a opera theater setting.
