Viva Las Vegas!!!

I don’t know if anyone really knows this, but I was in the audience (along with my mother) at one of Barry Manilow’s preview shows before he opened his stage show in Las Vegas. I’ve never been a Fanilow or anything, but I can recall singing Copacabana to my grandparents at Sunday dinners, so we go way back. Anyway, it was my first real Las Vegas show and it was absolutely insane! He put on one hell of a performance and I’d go back to see him again in a heartbeat. I found out yesterday (but forgot to post about it) that Bette Midler will be replacing Celine Dion when she stops performing at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. She will begin rehearsing in October and begin performances in February of 2008. Tickets are EXPENSIVE.. the lowest prices are $95.00, but I’ve seen her in person and she’s worth every penny. I can only imagine what she’ll do with a Las Vegas stage show. It’ll be crazy!!!

Busta Rhymes lives up to his name (kind of) as he’s been busted in NYC for driving while impaired. This is not his first run-in with the law and it probably won’t be his last, but it really sucks to get pulled over for having your windows tinted too dark, then getting clipped for DWI.

Entertainment Weekly is releasing five different covers for its Heroes themed issue this week (I have a feeling I won’t be one of the lucky ones to get the Mohinder, Peter, Parkman issue; I’m more than likely to get the Linderman/Sylar one. That’s my luck!). Anyway, if you go to their website, they’ve put clues on each of the covers containing teasers and information regarding Heroes and it’s season finale episode. If you have any interest in Heroes, you should check it out as some clues are more in depth than others.

Note to self: If you eat the whole bag in a sitting or two, it really doesn't matter if the chips are the baked kind. I’ve realized that it’s definitely time to get back into the gym next week or I’ll be paying shit loads of money in material so the seamstress can make my bridesmaid dress bigger, not smaller as I’d hoped. I’m going to do Pilates DVD’s, cardio and try to take as many cardio classes as I can to force that not to happen. Oh yeah… and I’ll probably buy industrial strength underwear. You know the kind.. they basically bind you from your boobs to mid-thigh. That is what I’m talking about!

Enjoy your Thursday night!
