Cirque du Soleil - Different Show, Same Shtick

Monday, June 6, 2011

Last night I saw the Cirque du Soleil's oh la la cabaret style show Zumanity. 
I was sitting in the front row where instead of individual seats,
they had little red velvet loveseats for two...perfect for a short nap.
Except for the flying midget act and the hula hoop girl,
the naughtier the show got, the more I nodded off. 

Seriously, I think that Donny and Marie or Penn and Teller would have been more entertaining.
Is there anyone besides me who is just so over the Cirque du Soleil?

Video - Cee Lo Green Releases New "I Want You" Music Video

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

Our man Cee Lo Green is at it again!

After a runaway smash hit last year with his controversial “Forget You” single and video, he has just released his latest music video “I Want You”.

While admittedly not as up-tempo as “F**k You”, his new video is a refreshing return to good old fashioned soul music that quite frankly the music industry has been lacking.

Cee Lo filmed the video entirely in Las Vegas and there is definitely a Liberace feel and groove to it.

In fact, the rhinestone piano and candelabra used for the video shoot was provided by the Liberace estate and filmed entirely on the grounds of Ceasars Palace.

He even borrowed a few show girls from their Bally's Jubilee Extravaganza.
 
“I Want You” is available on Cee Lo’s “Lady Killer” album and also on iTunes.

Las Vegas - Dealing With The Dealers

Well it's that time of year again
yes, it's the week for my annual pilgrimage to Las Vegas
not for gaming in the hopes of acquiring the ever elusive mammon
but for serious shopping for little shiny baubles made of gold and gems

This year there might be a little selling too
maybe

As all the world's jeweler's
descend on the city of sin
for the five big trade shows
jewelry, watch, gem, couture and antique and estate jewelry
wish me luck
It's not easy dealing with the dealers 

Donald Trump Drops F-Bomb Several Times during Vegas Speech – Video

Friday, April 29, 2011

The grand douche-bag himself, Donald Trump, is once again running his mouth in a public forum.

Trump visited his Trump International Hotel & Tower just off the Las Vegas Strip today to rally supporters for his 2012 presidential campaign.

But this was a different Trump than we have seen the last several weeks.

The difference? He dropped the “F” word, and other choice curse words, every chance he got.

During his half hour speech on foreign affairs, Trump attacked not only Obama, but spewed insults toward other leaders saying,

"Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people, It's just very, very sad."

There were about 1,000 supporters at the event, and there was free food and an open bar. Everybody was loaded and they had come to see Trump do the thing that he does so well – be a dick.

You have to ask yourself if this guy really thinks he’s for real. At this point, he is starting to sound more and more like Charlie Sheen every day.

Elton John Signs Three Year Contract at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

Singer and songwriter Elton John has just signed a three year residency contract at the Colosseum Theater in Caesars Palace Las Vegas.

Shows are to begin September 28, 2011.

The contract calls for at least 16 shows during his stay at the famous casino. Elton is no stranger to Caesars either, his last stay was a five year show called “The Red Piano” from 2005 through 2009 where he played over 241 shows instead of the contracted 75.

The video below is his encore performance from his last show in 2009.

The new tour is titled “The Million Dollar Piano” and tickets for the first sixteen shows go on sale Monday, April.

Elton told reporters,

"Caesars Palace is just a perfect, idyllic place to play, and the show will be a gargantuan feast of music and imagery. I'm going to have a fabulous piano that Yamaha has been working on for four years, and that's the reason why the show is called 'The Million Dollar Piano.'"

Elton will be appear with his band, which includes Davey Johnstone on guitar, Bob Birch on bass, John Mahon on percussion, Nigel Olsson on drums and Kim Bullard on keyboards. There will also be special appearances as schedules permit.

But the real question is if Elton will bring his new baby along for the ride.

Last December the sixty-two year old Elton and his husband, David Furnish, become the proud parents of Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, born in California via a surrogate mother.

Caesars Palace president Gary Selesner commented,

"We couldn't be more excited to once again welcome one of the world's most beloved entertainers, Elton John, to The Colosseum. During his last residency, Elton and his talented band brought so many memorable performances to Caesars Palace. We are looking forward to more incredible moments with Elton on-stage at The Colosseum and continuing our successful partnership."
