OSMOND CROWD GOES INTO A TIZZY

Andy Williams rolled back the years with a surprise appearance Monday at the taping of the PBS' 50th anniversary of the Osmond family. Williams who had Top 5 hits in the 50's 60's and 70's sent the Orleans showroom crowd into a tizzy when he walked on stage. Williams, who turns 80 in Dec. is credited with discovering the Osmonds while they were preforming at Dusneyland in the early 1960's. They became a sensation after becoming regulars on his variety show. Earlier, most of the fans who jammed the showroom started lining up at 8 pm for a meet and greet with the Osmonds. When they made their appearance entry, "it was just like royalty had arrived" said an observer. Most of the audience was made up from outside the U.S, with many foreign flags waving wildly!

JERRY BRUCKHEIMER/LAS VEGAS NEWS

Behind the scenes momentum has propelled the National Hockey League into an early lead to become the first major professional sports franchise in Las Vegas. Now that a solidfied arena plan is in place, sources say Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer continues to gain backing as the man most likely to end up with an NHL team in Vegas. Moving along the process was the announcement wed. by Harrah's Entertainment and Los Angeles-based Anschultz Entertainment Group to build a privately financed 20,000-seat, $500 million arena to be completed by 2010 behind Bally's A new arena most likely opens the door for an NHL expansion franchise because of the immediate infusion of cash it would bring to a league that recieves only a fraction of TV money the other leagues reap. An NHL expansion team would cost the prospective owner $250 million to $300 million, which would be divided between 30 teams. There's strong supprot for bringing the team to Las Vegas, "Bruckheimer has the edge becasue he's been working on it longer" said a source involved in getting a major sports team here. Consider Bruckheimer's credentials..As one of Hollywood's richest men, he;d bring the necessary capital as well as the flair that turned his films into blockbusters, and then there's the CSI's all top rated shows, and not to mention & he has the connections!

That's $2,000 a minute, a far cry from what it cost to bring in a clelbrity less than 3 years ago, when a nice room and some nicidentals did dthe trick.

NEWS O.J. Simpson has his own personal spin on the Las Vegas iconic slogan. About three hours after he was accused of particapating in an armed robbery at the Palace Station Casino on Thursday, Simpson arrived 50 minutes late for a private pre-wedding dinner party at Little Budha at the Palms. Spies tell me that Simpson was overheard telling his table guests "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, unless it happens to me" Simpson, 60 was named as a suspect Friday by Las Vegas Metro Police after the alleged break-in and theft of sports collectibles, including some previously owned by the Heisman Trophy winner. Simpson acknowledged, in a phone interview Friday with the Associated Press, that he did go to a room at the Palace Station to retrieve memorabilla that he claimed was his.. During a news conference Friday, a police spokesman said several suspects accompanied Simpson and they had weapons. Simpson and hs eldest daughter Arnelle arrived in Vegas on Wed. and dined at the N9NE Steak House and then over to the Playboy Club at the "ghostbar" UPDATE, HE WAS JUST ARRESTED FOR THIS CRIME :eek:

The Hilton Las Vegas headliner Barry Manilow canceled out of Tuesday's scheduled appearance on "The View", saying he considered co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck "dangerous and offensive" He sent an e-mail to his fans on Monday informing them "I will not be on the same stage with her...I cannot compromise my beliefs" In a statement, Manilow said "I had made a request
that I be interviewed by co-hosts Joy Behar, or Barbara or Whoopi, but not Elisabeth. Unfortunately, the show was not willing to accommodate this simple request, so I bowed out" Manilow who returns to the Hilton on Sept. will promote his new cover album 'The Greatest Songs of the Seventies" [I find what's-her- face offensive as well] :(
