La Toya Jackson Losing Las Vegas Home

Missy — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:07:48 +0000

If singer La Toya Jackson doesn’t come up with $745,670 by the end of the month, she will have to say bye bye to her home in Las Vegas.

The luxurious condo is located in the Regency Towers at Las Vegas International Country Club. Initially the property was going to be on the auction block on August 31st but she got a temporary reprieve and the sale was postponed until Sept. 30th.

La Toya’s rep gave a statement to TMZ, “La Toya has an extensive real estate portfolio and her advisers directed her to the business decision to let this particular property go to short sale – where it is now.”

Jackson acquired this condo as part of a divorce settlement from Jack Gordon, so she say’s there is no attachment.

‘Peepshow’ Star Kelly Monaco Robbed in Las Vegas

Missy — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 13:01:56 +0000

Not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Former General Hospital star Kelly Monaco had a frightening night while staying in the penthouse suite at Planet Hollywood. A thief broke into her room and ransacked the living room.

Monaco is in town dancing in the revue Peepshow alongside former Spice Girl Melanie Brown. The entertainer hid under her bed while the living room was robbed. Not taking anymore unnecessary chances, Kelly has upped her security and hired bodyguards to assist her for the rest of her stay in “Sin City.”

A police report has been filed but no word on what exactly was taken yet. We will update the story when more info comes in.

Check out the video below – it’s a short clip of the “Peepshow”.

Elton John Bids Farewell to Las Vegas Show

Missy — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:48:31 +0000

Taking the stage for the last time at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas last night, Elton John bid a fond farewell to his audience after five years of performing in Sin City. The singer initially signed on to do 75 shows but he was so popular that the contract was quickly extended and he ended up doing a run of 241 packed performances.

For his final show, Elton sat at his red piano and he wore a black and red jacket with Las Vegas Pirates on the back and Captain Elton on the sleeve.

Who will step into his shoes at Caesars? Bette Midler and Cher are both currently entertaining at the venue. John said he would like to see Celine Dion return. The Rocket Man even suggested The Village People would step in. We’re not sure if he was serious…..but the idea is interesting.

Check out one more photo from his final performance below. We’ve also got video from an earlier show.

Bette Midler: Vegas Disappointment or Victim of Hard Times? (Video)

Missy — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 14:17:04 +0000

Well known entertainer Bette Midler brought her show Bette Midler: The Show Must Go On to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas last February. She replaced the wildly popular Celine Dion. Midler started out strong but it looks like there could be signs of trouble.

Whether it is because of the state of the economy or lack of interest in Midler’s venue, the entertainer has not been able to sell out her shows. Tickets sell for between $95 and $250. Is that too much?

It is being reported that between December 30th and January 4th, Bette sold out only one performance. The problem is that this is one of the busiest time periods for Vegas shows. If she can’t perform to a packed house during that time frame, she may indeed be headed for trouble.

Watch the video below of Midler performing her Vegas show and let us know what you think. Would you spend the money?

Missy — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 18:02:34 +0000

Singer Bette Midler and her husband of 24 years, Martin Rochus Sebastian Von Haselberg got to see their wedding photos for the first time.

The couple were married in 1984 by an Elvis impersonator at the Starlight Chapel in Las Vegas and never received any wedding pictures. Three weeks ago the chapel closed its doors and the owner sent Midler and her husband the missing photos. Bette said they were “so shocked”, according to People magazine.

Currently the singer is headlining at Caesars Palace in The Showgirl Must Go On. She took over after Celine Dion ended her five year run of A New Day.

Panic at the Disco in Las Vegas (Photos)

Meg — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 15:43:34 +0000

Panic at the Disco had a gig at The Pearl Concert Theater at The Palms in Las Vegas on Friday night, June 13th. We’ve got some awesome photos of their eclectic stage performance. The groups latest album, Pretty. Odd. is a combination of old fashioned vaudeville and electronic rock beats. Their sound incorporates elements of rock, pop, big beat, punk, dance and electronica.

Panic at the Disco is known for its mock Victorian circus shows, where it brings an entourage of contortionists and dancers on stage with the band as they perform. They have recently scaled back their circus-themed shows and plan to perform using a new variety of themes. Their recent run on the Honda Civic Tour has proven to be much more stripped down, featuring the band just straight up performing in front of a set inspired by their latest album artwork.

The group hails from Las Vegas where two of the current members started a band at age thirteen. They hooked up with the other members of the group in high school. They range in age from 20 to 22 years old and had their first real taste of celebrity status by landing a New Years Eve gig playing in Time Square in New York City on December 31, 2006.

Panic was named the MTV Artist of the Week in early April as their second album Pretty. Odd. was being released. It hit the charts at #2 in both the U.S. and U.K., and landed at #1 in Australia.

In August, Panic at the Disco will embark on a World Tour, with venues in Asia, Australia and New Zealand announced. This will be their biggest show overseas to date.
