CINEVEGAS CLUBHOUSE SHOT FILM WITH BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF LAS VEGAS WITH SPECIAL APPEARANCE BY WAYNE NEWTON

CineVegas Clubhouse shot the short film, “Where Da Girls At” with members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Las Vegas. Las Vegas LEGEND Wayne Newton made a special appearance to give the kids tips about filming and performing.
CineVegas Clubhouse is a community outreach program in which local industry professionals teach the art of filmmaking to members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Las Vegas. The five-week project teaches the children to create, write and star in their own short film, which will have a red carpet premiere at the 2009 CineVegas Film Festival in June with Festival Chairman, Dennis Hopper.
I have to say, I really didn’t have any great expectations about Mr. Newton before this event but totally fell in like with him after this event. The love and care he extended to those kids was nothing short of amazing. What a guy Wayne, you are an angel. Now I understand why Mrs. Ellen Griswold had a crush on you in the film, "Vegas Vacation." You totally rock!!!!

COMEDY LEGEND AND ICON DON RICKLES  STILL ROCKS THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHTER AT The ORLEANS TO A STANDING ‘O’

The always lovable insulting Rickles is still at it and going strong. How funny, is this man? Moreover, how does he continue to get away with his politically incorrect, rude, offensive, off color humor, while the audience including me begged for more. Don, you are one of a kind. Keep on making the world a funnier place, we need you.

DONNY AND MARIE

When in the fab city of Vegas, do try to catch the Donny and Marie show. It is so wonderful and fun for every age. They are still on top of their game. The wholesome and talented brother sister act is fun, entertaining, and a joy to watch. There is singing, dancing, joking, and just one great show. “A little bit country and a little bit rock and roll”, continues on. By the way Marie, your opera segment blew me away…

The Jersey Boys

This show without a doubt deserves its best show on the strip title. Breaking records all over the world is legit. It is phenomenally entertaining and one of the best Broadway shows I have ever seen and I have seen them all. I think it was especially wonderful here in Vegas. RUN to see the Jersey Boys. It is, “Just too good to be true!” Bravo Frankie Valli!

SEDUCTIVE STARLET KIM KARDASHIAN SPLASHED INTO THE POOL SEASON AT WET REPUBLIC,

The blue carpet with the beautiful  Kim Kardashian at WET REPUBLIC at MGM Grand (Las Vegas’ first ultra pool) made a huge splash with sisters Kourtney and Khloe and boyfriend Reggie Bush and Frankie. The modern socialite indulged in an afternoon under the brilliant Vegas sun with her admirers and glitterati as she takes a break from filming her hit reality show, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” I must admit, I adore these girls. I particularly like Khloe for her spunk. I am not a reality show fan but these are some, way out there, fun girls. Call me; I want to hang with you guys…

PAUL MCCARTNEY - PAUL MCCARTNEY - PAUL MCCARTNEY - PAUL MCCARTNEY - PAUL MCCARTNEY  PAUL MCCARTNEY  IT WAS ALL PAUL ON April 19th AT THE NEW JOINT!

 

The legendary rocker, Paul McCartney was the, one and only headliner grand opening weekend, at the all new Joint inside The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. McCartney is one of the worlds most influential and successful singer/songwriters writing some of the most popular music in rock ‘n’ roll history. The multiple Grammy Award-winning artist, played to a venue of only 4,000 for almost 3 hours making this an intimate experience. I love, love, love, this man. I only wish it were even more intimate. If only the other 3,999 others would have left me with Paul. Life is just not fair sometimes. Paul sang every song his fans hoped he would. Playing multiple guitars including the famous Hofner Bass, the piano, the banjo, etc. thrilled the joint. He is still as good as ever and on top of his game. Talk about rock and roll genius McCartney is it.  Oh Paul, " I Wanna Hold Your Hand!"  Why are you with that new girl when you can have me? Call me Paul, I'm cool with a pre-nup!
