goodies recording stars of the

Bruce Willis is certainly one of the top box office
draws in Hollywood. He means business when he says
" Planet Hollywoods grand party in September will
be the biggest thing to ever hit Las Vegas."
Willis, who seemed to be very relaxed at the sneak
preview, was with his partner Robert Earl , the
C.E.O. of Planet Hollywood. When asked if he was
going to be another music album, he smiled and said
"Maybe?" .
After a long introduction of various restraunts ,
the media was surprized when three great sport
legends where introduced. They are boxing great
Sugar Ray Leonard , one of the best baseball
players of our time, Roger Clemens and Career Grand
Slam record holder, Pete Sampras. Shortly after the
press conference we were given tour of the hotel
which started with the "Extra" lounge.
This is where "Extra" does all their national
broadcast when they are in Las Vegas in addition to
other media doing their interviews also. There is
no question that Hollywood premiers will be a big
part of Planet Hollywood. Bruce Willis and Robert
Earl both assured me that the premiers at Planet
Hollywood will be much like those in Hollywood.
While in the "Extra" lounge I interviewed Sugar Ray
Leonard about his participation with Planet
Hollywood's and his thoughts about Oscar De La Hoya
and Flyod Mayweather Jr. "
I met Robert Earl a few years ago, We had a great
time at Planet Hollywood over at Ceasars Palace.
When they considered taking over the "Aladdin" and
rebuilding it they contacted me about their sports
projects, It's Been a great business relationship "
said Leonard.

LookRadio and Joost are just a few of the
streaming (video on demand, VOD) broadcast stations
that are introducing the ventage Elke Sommer, Bruce
Willis, Frankie, Troy and Fabian's past
performances.
While in the "Extra" lounge I interviewed Sugar Ray
Leonard about his participation with Planet
Hollywood's and his thoughts about Oscar De La Hoya
and Flyod Mayweather Jr. " I met Robert Earl a few
years ago, We had a great time at Planet Hollywood
over at Ceasars Palace. When they considered taking
over the "Aladdin" and rebuilding it they contacted
me about their sports projects,
It's Been a great business relationship " said
Leonard. On the two fighters Leonard states "Oscar
is a true champion ,he doesnt have the speed that
Mayweather has so he has got to definently work on
his body to break him down on the other hand ,
Mayweathers speed is what can cause a knock out and
exspecially build up points., eithier way this
championship fight is a great plus for boxing."
Will Power Winner of the Vegas Grand Prix Salutes
Race Course
Will Power in the No. 5 car (Team Australia) said
he is a better driver after driving throughout
downtown Las Vegas , in what is said to be one of
the best street courses in the world.," The street
course has a lot of passing zones , Thats what
makes racing exciting and that is what the fans
want. He continuies. In Eupe the Grand Prixs have
more areas where you can go off the course and get
back into the race without damaging your car. In
Vegas you have got to watch out for the cement
walls and the streets are not as smooth which makes
for a great challange in racing." Robert Doorbus in
car No.14 (Team Menardi) won second place and Paul
Tracy in car No. 3 ( Forsythe Championship Racing )
took 3rd place.
Bradley Yanover of DDB Ventures, is known for
producing Oscar nominated movies and Dale Jensen
,owner of the Arizona Diamond Backs MLB Team and
partner in the NBA Phoenix Suns are the promotors
of the Vegas Grand Prix and also in Phonix Arizona.
"We couldnt be happier with this first event , it's
only going to be getting better.
During the weekend of festivities we caught up with
Troy Cory and a few more celebrities who played
poker at Binions Bullpen at Binions Gambling Halll
and Hotel. Mimi Rogers who had a brief marriage to
Tom Cruise certainly has proven that she is one of
the busiest actress in Hollywood. Rogers who plays
Texas Hold Em started at age 7.
When asked if playing poker was as hard as reading
a script , she stated " A script is second nature
to me but Texas Hold Em takes a lot of skill and
concentration." Rogers is currently working on
"Storm Cell " with Ryan Kennedy and Elyse Levesque.
Other celebrities who attended the tournament is
Cheech Marin , Josie Cory, Angelica Bridges, Johnny
Chan etc. etc..

STORY
Bruce Willis, one of the top box office draws in
Hollywood, and early 80s hard-rockers, means
business when talking about music, and his start-up
days as a singer. Bruce Willis (born Walter Bruce
Willis on March 19, 1955) is a two-time Emmy
Award-winning, Golden Globe-winning American actor
and singer. He came to fame in the late 1980s and
has since retained a career as both a Hollywood
leading man and a supporting actor, in particular
for his role in the Die Hard series.
In the late-1980s, Willis enjoyed moderate success
as a recording artist, recording an album of
pop-blues entitled The Return of Bruno, which
included the hit single "Respect Yourself",
promoted by a Spinal Tap-like rockumentary parody
featuring scenes of him performing at famous events
including Woodstock. Follow-up recordings were not
as successful, though Willis does return to the
recording studio from time to time.
"I figured that was over," the 66-year-old crooner
said about his recording career in a recent LA
Times article.
Avalon went on to star in movies of the beach party
genre. His music was relegated to discount bins in
record stores and the playlists of oldies
stations.
Almost 50 years later, almost everyone that was
around signing his/her tune are now enjoying a
digital renaissance, thanks to Google, YouTube, and
LookRadio. The freeplay online radio/tv stations
are helping Apple Inc.'s iTunes, RealNetworks
Inc.'s Rhapsody and other online music stores sell
recordings.
"In the world before digital music, it was very
difficult to find my stuff," Avalon said. "Now
anybody can find anything."
Sales of albums by contemporary musicians have been
falling for years, but what the industry calls deep
catalog albums (more than 3 years old) have been
making a comeback, with their sales soaring 104.2%
from 2005 to 2006. That has been a boon for Avalon
and other older artists.
Before the
switch to R&B, starring Little Richard, James
Brown, Fats, Diana Washington and Brooke Benton,
there was the Frankie Avalon's, Fabians for the
tweenies, to play around.

Bette Midler " Miss Divine " is utterly dedicated
to being Ms. Las Vegas although her show doesnt
open until Febuary 2008. Midler plans to spend a
lot of time here before then.
Her recently released album , Bette Midler sings
the Rosemary Clooney songbook and Bette Midler
sings the Peggy Lee songbook ,which were both
nominated for Grammys are 2 classics which will go
down in history.
One of the key questions in talking to Midler is
how to pursue a career "Discipline is the most
important thing , I dont know , Its a differant
generation now then when I was brought up, You
definently need energy and imagination but more
then anything you need Discipline."
According to Midler this is the biggest show she
has put together yet and that "You have to be
careful and cautious and dont throw in the kitchen
sink" she added , " I dont have to pick up and move
now thats the wonderful part of it and now I have
got 2 years to try all of these great restaurant in
Las Vegas." There will be a complete transformation
of the Colosseum to accomodate Ms. Midlers show
which is scheduled to premier Febuary
20.
iTunes. In the digital age, with a single tune
going for under a dollar and a track as accessible
as a mouse click, it's easy to mix and match sounds
from different genres and eras.
And playlist-based listening "really benefits those
one-hit wonders from bygone days," said Aram
Sinnreich, a managing partner at Radar Research in
Los Angeles. For example, you probably wouldn't
stumble on the Norwegian band a-ha's "Take on Me"
in a record store, but there's a chance you would
on the Internet.
Businesses are hustling to cash in, buying old
songs they hope will come back in vogue.
Sacramento-based Digital Music Group Inc., for one,
acquired the rights to distribute 335,000 tracks
that had been owned by Chancellor Records.
Some of the master recordings are stored in a
climate- controlled warehouse in North Hollywood.
Some, such as the 1962 recording "Party Lights" by
Claudine Clark, hadn't seen the light of day in
decades. Digital Music Group converts the fragile
reel-to-reel tapes to digital, salvaging
disintegrating and corroded master recordings and
preserving them, the company likes to say,
forever.
"In many cases, these artists' life work has been
locked up in a vault," Koulouris said. "Now, they
get paid for every single download."
