Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas:

story.news.yahoo.com

Sometimes, what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas--it makes national headlines. Just ask Linda Ronstadt (news).

The "Don't Know Much" singer was given the boot from Las Vegas' Aladdin Casino on Saturday night after dedicating the song "Desperado" to Michael Moore and praising his latest incendiary device, Fahrenheit 9/11.

The 58-year-old Ronstadt, who was in Sin City for a one-night stand, called Moore an "American patriot" and encouraging her audience to check out the Oscar-winning gadfly's President Bush (news - web sites)-bashing documentary.

Her remarks reportedly drew applause from half the 4,500 patrons in attendance, while the other half booed loudly. Witnesses said some guests became so riled they tossed their drinks in the air, tore down Ronstadt posters and walked out in disgust before the end of her performance, demanding refunds from casino management.

Casino president Bill Timmins, who was in the audience for the show, was so ticked off that he kicked out Ronstadt, apparently refusing to let her even return to her room.
