On Sunday night at her Circus show in Tampa, Fla., Britney Spears was heard on a live mic saying, "My pussy was hanging out." This came after Spears was lowered down in a metallic-looking gold costume after the song "I'm a Slave 4 U." Perez Hilton, who kicked off her tour March 3 in New York with a video of him welcoming the star on her comeback, of course has photos. The Circus tour continues nationally. To see Britney and her hoo-ha
in Las Vegas, both will appear at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on
Saturday, April 25 at 8 p.m. Tickets run $55 to $275 (the $275 rate is
still available) and can be purchased at any of the MGM Grand box
offices or Ticketmaster.com with all their fees.
Just in case you thought she was lip-synching...
As had been widely rumored for weeks, the Wynns have filed for divorce... for the second time.
Steve Wynn married Elaine in 1963, divorced in 1986, and remarried in 1991.
Announced yesterday, the divorce filing was made March 5 and papers were immediately sealed from the public, which means further details are unknown.
Also rumored is the possible cause of the breakup: that Wynn has fallen for a woman in her 40s.
The world's largest five-diamond resort is officially going green...for
St. Patrick's Day. Today, Thursday March 12, the Grand Canal inside the
the Grand Canal Shoppes will turn green in an Irish flavored ceremony
hosted by Liam the Leprechaun at 10 AM. Liam will arrive in a gondolier
to St. Mark's Square where he will throw gold confetti into the air
from the spinning boat to open the green canal for gondola rides.
Gondoliers will be dressed in green scarves, sashes, ribbons and shamrocks for the duration of the St. Patty's celebration. The singing gondoliers will be supplementing their repertoire of Italian melodies with Irish favorites including When Irish Eyes are Smiling, My Wild Irish Rose, and Up among the Heather.
Liam the Leprechaun will spend most of Thursday, 11AM to 6 PM, retreating through the Grand Canal Shoppes; and, if found and greeted with "Luck o' the Irish" he will dole out prizes from his pot of gold including free rides on the Lucky Green Grand canal. Adult guests purchasing ride tickets for $16 per person March 12-18 can exchange their ticket stub for a free bottle of Guinness at the Mercato store inside The Grand Canal. Gondola rides are open Sunday-Thursday 10 AM-11 PM and Friday-Saturday 10 AM-Midnight. Tickets may be purchased at Emporio d' Goindola ticket office.
Apple said four years ago that over 100 million U.S. residents were within 15 minutes of an Apple Store.
Tomorrow, a few more will be that much closer.
Just in time for the holidays, Apple is holding the grand opening of its new Apple Store tomorrow, from 10 a.m. to midnight.
Regular hours will run to 11 p.m. daily, with a midnight closing on Friday and Saturday.
This marks the third Apple store in Las Vegas and the second one on the Strip -- in The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace (right next to the Gap).
The first Apple Store in Vegas was in the Fashion Show Mall, and the second opened recently at the Town Square.
A special offer at all Apple Stores -- get a free iPod with the purchase of a Mac. Offer expires Sept. 15.
The opening of an Apple Store usually comes with free t-shirts for all attendees. Not to mention Apple geeks galore (of which we are one).
