Rod Stewart |
|
|
 |
The Bosh is speaking out in unequivocal support of Rod Stewart in his legal battle with Harrah's Entertainment. The story is that back in 1998, Rod made his appearance at Harrah's Rio hotel in Las Vegas on New Year's of 1999 contingent on their giving him a contract for New Year's of 2000 along with an advance payment of $2 million. Turned out, he had to be operated for thyroid cancer and so could not keep his 2000 New Year's Eve obligation. He offered to do two later concerts without being paid any additional money, but Harrah's won't accept that offer and wants its $2 million. Everybody involved on the Harrah's side of this case should get thyroid cancer and then have people unwilling to be flexible with them about economic arrangements. I mean, Rod Stewart had to be operated for cancer. He later offered the company not just a make-up concert, but two make-up concerts. If he had been out on a caprice on New Year's 2000, you might think Harrah's had a case. But for them to come after him like this now just reeks of shamelessness and lack of human sympathy.

George Clooney's casino |

"Ocean's Eleven" star George Clooney has invested an undisclosed amount in a proposed $3 billion Las Vegas resort. The resort, to be called Las Ramblas, will be developed by Related Las Vegas and Centra Properties with Clooney and nightclub operator, Rande Gerber helping plan and design the hotel, restaurants, entertainment venues and casino, the groups said in a statement. The resort will house more than 4,400 hotel and condominiums in 11 high-rise buildings. Construction is expected to begin in mid-2006 and the first four towers are expected to be completed in early 2008.
"We're clearly putting more than just our names to this project - we're investing financially and creatively to develop an idyllic environment that reflects our personal tastes and interests," Clooney said.
Clooney said the hotel will be sharp rather than loud, more Rat Pack than rock star. "I wanted it to be like old Vegas and old Hollywood. It's going to be a classy joint," Clooney told the AP.
Clooney added that he and Gerber, who is married to model Cindy Crawford, hope to lure their Hollywood pals like Brad Pitt to Las Ramblas
