Barbara Streisand is playing at the MGM on NYE for megabucks this year. She originally was supposed to play somewhere else. Where was she supposed to play and why did she back out?
Jeff, I'm probably not allowed to go off onto tangents in this subject <g> but I remember hearing that the reason Barbra Streisand didn't perform for so long (before the MGM last time) was because she was afraid she wouldn't be good enough for her audience. Sounds like she is really a wanna-be perfectionist. Maybe we should ask her to moderate a forum here. Sounds to me she would fit right in <bg>.

BTW,
Jeff was right. MSG in NY and she was afraid of the Y2K problem, or so she says. Anyone else think they offered her way more money to play at the MGM??????

JMT,
Cute!
Between stories I've read about BS during her career and a horrible personal experience an ex-girlfriend of mine had with her, I think she has a mental attitude she still has to do "whatever it takes" to make or keep a buck.
Lee Ann: Where did Michael Jordan get married? When I was in Caesars, someone walked by and said, "....you know, where Michael Jordan got married"! I didn't catch WHERE, though.
Nevada casinos saw a 23.2 percent increase from winning a record amount of money from gamblers in September as compared to September of '98, thanks to 4 megaresorts opening and the Felix Trinidad-Oscar De La Hoya championship fight.
The numbers were driven by the Strip, where there was a 41 percent jump reported from September of last year.
Historically, what month is the busiest month of the year for Nevada's hotel/ casinos?
