Singer Linda Ronstadt removed for praising Fahrenheit 9/11

You may have already heard about the incident with Linda Ronstadt in Las Vegas. Apparently she dedicated a song to Michael Moore, praising him, and encouraged her audience members to see his new movie Fahrenheit 9/11. In response Michael Moore wrote a letter to the President of Aladdin condemning his actions and offering to sing America the Beautiful with Linda Ronstadt at the Aladdin if he would apologize and invite her back. Although the president, Mr. Timmins, says he will never let Ronstadt perform at the Aladdin again while he is in control, this isn't going to last long. Prior to this fiasco the Aladdin was already in the process of being sold to a partnership including Planet Hollywood. The CEO of Planet Hollywood, Robert Earl, says he would love for Ronstadt to return and to take Michael Moore up on his offer to sing America the Beautiful with her. He says this may happen as early as August, after the purchase of the Aladdin is complete. (full article)
