"We respect artists' creativity and support their rights to express themselves," Earl said in a statement Wednesday.

So do I. I also respect my own right to yell "shut up and sing you stupid fat cow has-been" during her diatribe against Bush.

Is there some kind of stupid virus going around among entertainment executives on the left. Does someone really need to explain to executives who are in the business of entertaining people that you don't gratuitously piss off half of your audience and expect to stay in business?

If that's true, Freepers will never set foot in the Aladdin under its new management.

"It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know."

- Linda Ronstadt

Then why spout your LIBERAL points of view at your own concerts! What a bigot she is!

Maybe having an Arabian Nights program while your country is waiting for the next attack from that quarter isn't exactly the best idea. Perhaps quality business decisions like this are related to why they're bankrupt.

I imagine a lot of people are cancelling their reservations even as we speak.

Hay! It's Earl the Pearl's dough. Once he's licensed and in control, he can try and turn around a "loser" property. He won't get a dime from my Family and maybe 50 million others, but it's his choice. Go for it schmuck!

Ugh. I like the Aladdin, just the fact these clowns have bought it out and will change it to Planet Hollywood hotel and casino is enough to get me upset. Now this.

I will definitely not be going to this joint again if this happens.

Tragedy, it was a nice place to stroll the shops and eat the buffet but oh well.

Well, scratch the Aladdin hotel off the list of places to stay when visiting Las Vegas.

"We were very sorry to hear about the unfortunate circumstances of this past Saturday night and want to make it clear that Planet Hollywood has never, in our 13 year history, restricted any artists' right to free speech and we will continue with that policy once we take ownership."

Translation: "I'm a noodle-spined p*ssy liberal who would blow Castro himself for a five spot."

The more insanity I see from the left wackos the more I'm convinced they run the MEGA business establishments here in our country! This is SCARY STUFF!

Planet Hollywood CEO Robert Earl of Orlando, Fla., said he'd like to take Moore up on the filmmaker's offer to join Ronstadt on Aladdin's stage and sing "America the Beautiful" when Earl's management team takes control of the bankrupt casino, as early as September.

I thank Planet Hollywood CEO Robert Earl of Orlando, Fla. for the heads-up, he's stupider than Ronstadt. LOL!

Wonderful!

After telling my sister to make sure that she books all her and her hubby's accomodations during their trips to Vegas at the Alladin, I can now suggest that they stay elsewhere.

They are older, retired, and have many friends who make frequent trips to Vegas throughout the year. And they will be more than happy to pass the word along.

Ronstadt told The Los Angeles Times she'd continue to laud Moore and didn't want to play the Aladdin again anyway.

I'm sure her manager and publicist are just doing back flips about now.

Awful lot of business folks going out of their way to alienate their customers. I wonder if they're teaching that in business schools these days--"How to Lose it All 101". They could bring in guest speakers like the Dixie Twits, Whoopsie Goldberg, Alec Baldwin--heck, the entire course could be taught by entertainment industry guest speakers.

Having e-mailed the Aladdin's Bill Timmins to thank him for tossing Ronstadt, I'm now going to tell the new ownership just what I think of the announcement that they will be pleased to offer Ms. Ronstadt's political views as part of their "entertainment."

I will be in Vegas in September. I've never been in the Aladdin. I would have considered stopping in but if this is their position, I will spend my money elsewhere.

Well Michael Moore is cheering the terrorists in Iraq to victory over the United States and is accepting assistance from Hezbollah in promoting his film. Maybe it is proper for him to take the stage at an arab themed casino.

Maybe he could blow himself up for a big finale.

ping!

A.S.'s buddy Robert Earl welcomes Ronstadt and Michael Moore.

This is the guy that sits on the board of his Inner-City Games Foundation... along with Reiss, Danny Glover, and a few other great folks.

Sure invite her back!

Hopefully she'll be singing to an EMPTY room.
