BillBoard BoxScore Concert Grosses Chart

Posted Jan 29, 2009 12:01 pm by Mister D

All the naysayers can kiss Bette’s brass and my ass. She came in at Number One and Number 2 for Ticket sales followed by Stevie Wonder, Metallica, Neil Diamond, and L’il Wayne. There were for the dates Jan 17, 18 and 24, 25th.

There is a rumor going around (and a rumor is not fact, please remember) that Bette may be extending her contract with Caesar’s. That rumor is coming from Celine Dion, herself, who seems anxious to get back to Vegas after her World Tour comes to an end. After that, she wants to drop a baby, rest, and then get back in the groove taking turns with Bette and Cher at Vegas’s new Gay Mecca, Caesars. Read More

Enterprise-Record – Chico,CA,USA
Bette Midler performs at Caesar’s Palace
By PATRICIA FELDHAUS – The Buzz

LAS VEGAS — Bette Midler, 63, still has the pizzazz to hold an audience of 2,000 people in the palm of her hand.

Ushered in by a staged tornado, the “People’s Diva” enthralled her fans — some even flying in from Great Britain just to see her at Caesar’s Palace Coliseum in Las Vegas.

With her amazing voice and spectacular outfits she started with “I’m Alive” and “In the Mood” and closed the show by accompanying herself on her ukulele with “The Story of Love.” Her encore was “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” with a large screen background of Midler portraying three different persons singing in harmony.

‘Frost/Nixon’ named best movie for grown-ups

Metaphorically, it is the mantra of the recession: There is no dancing if there is no money.

That is literally true at Nevada Ballet Theatre. All that staging, all those sequined-splashed dancing tights and the dancers wearing those costumes, do not pay for themselves. Not surprisingly, NBT has been pinched financially for at least a year leading up to last night’s Black & White Ball at Caesars Palace, celebrating the company’s silver anniversary and drawing on the super-famous name of Bette Midler as this year’s Woman of the Year.
