MILEY CYRUS EX LIAM HEMSWORTH ISN’T WIPING AWAY THE TEARS

Liam Hemsworth isn’t exactly suffering since Miley Cyrus unfriended him and called off their engagement this weekend. According to Norm Clarke of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, he spent the weekend partying in Las Vegas at pre-fight events before attending the Floyd Mayweather fight. Liam was with Jeff Beacher, responsible for Beacher’s madhouse in Hollywood, and “Twilight’s” Ashley Greene. He DID avoid cameras when he went to the fight.

David Bowie Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS WANTS DAVID BOWIE

AEG is trying to talk David Bowie into returning to the stage on a long term basis in Las Vegas. Several venues are very interested, according to Norm Clarke. Bowie, 66, has been “retired” since 2004 so it’s high time for another comeback. After all, he has his new album “The Next Day” to promote, and a grueling world tour doesn’t sound appealing. With a Las Vegas residential gig, he could become the Frank Sinatra of the Baby Boom generation.

Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt Gun Las Vegas Shooting Range

DON’T TRY TO TAKE AWAY BRAD AND ANGELINA’S GUNS!

Brad Pitt surprised visitors at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last week when appeared to promote his zombie movie “World War Z.” The next day Brad, Angelina and all the kids descended upon the Bonanza Gifts shop according to Norm Clarke, and spent 45 minutes picking out a remote control zombie among other toys, snowglobes, and gifts for the family. Later that day Brad took Angie for a special date to the Strip Gun Club. The club refused to divulge any details but did say that both Brad and Angie had a great time shooting. Keep in mind, Brad spent around $400,000 on a shooting range with pop-up silhouette targets for Angelina located in their estate in France. Apparently guns are a fun sport or maybe an aphrodisiac for both – remember there were plenty of firearms on the set of “Mr and Mrs. Smith” when they met.

Elvis Presley Las Vegas Plastic Surgery Wayne Newton

THE SURGICAL EVOLUTION OF WAYNE NEWTON

In the course of reading about Las Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton and his bankruptcy and eviction problems, we were shocked to see a recent photo of the Danke Schoen singer. If he’s not a poster child for too much male plastic surgery, we don’t know who IS. Back in the day, he competed with Elvis Presley to be top dog on Las Vegas. Which made us ponder- what if Elvis were still alive- would HE have been pushed into having extensive surgical enhancement and be as unrecognizable as Wayne Newton? Probably.

#nobu #robertdeniro #janetcharlton

Robert DeNiro is keeping busy in Las Vegas where he’s filming the movie we told you about called “Las Vegas,” which is described as the “geriatric version of The Hangover.” DeNiro stars with Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas and Kevin Kline. Besides catching the Beatles “Love” show at The Mirage with Douglas, he’s keeping an eye on construction of the new Nobu Hotel of which he is a shareholder. The Japanese inspired boutique hotel consists of 181 rooms and suites within Caesars Palace, anchored by a posh Nobu restaurant. Everything has a Japanese edge – from the décor, to the exotic drinks in the minibar, to the bento boxes for breakfast. DeNiro says they are aiming for a customers who like Japanese food.

Barbra Streisand Las Vegas Liberace Thanks for the Memories

LIBERACE PAVED THE WAY FOR BARBRA STREISAND’S LAS VEGAS SUCCESS

#liberace #barbrastreisand #janetcharlton

Barbra Streisand is in Las Vegas this weekend and the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Norm Clarke reminisced about her FIRST appearance there in 1963. She was the OPENING ACT for Liberace from July 2 to Aug 4 in 1963 at the Riviera. The ladies who adored Liberace didn’t warm up to Barbra, then 21, and her first two nights were disastrous. So Liberace started introducing her at the beginning of the show as his “discovery” and raved about her talent. After that great buildup people started paying attention to Barbra, and the rest is history.

Imitation Las Vegas Nicolas Cage

NICOLAS CAGE MOVED TO LAS VEGAS TO FIND SOME PEACE AND QUIET

#nicolascage #janetcharlton

Las Vegas impressionist Gordie Brown must have gulped when he saw Nicolas Cage in the audience one recent night at his show at the Golden Nugget. When he launched into his Cage impersonation, he was relieved because no one laughed louder than Cage himself. Later Nicolas and his wife Alice visited Brown in his dressing room, and the “Leaving Las Vegas” actor told him “You do me better than I do me.” According to Norm Clarke at the Las Vegas Review-Journal, it turns out Nicolas and his family moved to Las Vegas earlier this year from LA “to have a more normal family life.” Interesting place to search for serenity and small town values…

MICHAEL DOUGLAS FINISHES PLAYING LIBERACE AND MOVES ON TO PLAY A LADIES MAN

#michaeldouglas #janetcharlton


Michael Douglas has wrapped his role as Liberace in HBO’s “Behind the Candelabra,” and he’s moved on to play an aging womanizer in “Las Vegas.” He’s costarring with Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline. “Las Vegas” sounds like a great comedy – it’s about four sixty-something retired best friends who get together in Las Vegas for a bachelor party for Michael’s playboy character who‘s getting married for the first time to a woman half his age. De Niro’s character is reluctant to make the trip because years ago he had a tiff with Douglas over a woman, but the other guys talk him into it. The director jokingly calls the movie “Hangover meets Cocoon.” (By the way, Doesn’t Catherine Zeta Jones look just a LITTLE like Jersey Shore’s JWoww in the above photo?)
