Thomas Eje klappet af scenen i Las Vegas

Den danske entertainer skal nu forhandle med flere kasinoer i USA om optræden under navnet "Tom Dane".

Den danske entertainer Thomas Eje, der først og fremmest forbindes med Linie 3, blev modtaget med begejstring, da han torsdag debuterede på The Suncoast Hotel and Casino i Las Vegas.

"Jeg er lettet og glad. Jeg har satset alt, hvad jeg ejer på det her, så selvfølgelig vil jeg gerne optræde på de største scener," siger Thomas Eje til Ekstra Bladet.

"Han er enestående, fordi han både kan synge, danse, spille og være sjov," lyder kritikken efter Thomas Ejes halvanden times optræden. Det skete under navnet "Tom Dane" for at ramme den amerikanske smag.

Blandt de cirka 500 gæster til showet var også talentspejdere fra flere amerikanske kasinoer, og gennem sin producer, Ed Matthews, skal Thomas Eje nu forhandle om at optræde på andre kasinoer.

Mike Tyson bliver prostitueret på nyt bordel

Er du kvinde, og vild med den tidligere sværvægtsbokser Mike Tyson, så læs videre her. For snart bliver han prostitueret!

Man tror det er løgn - men nyhedsbureauet Wenn proklamerer, at den tidligere verdensmester i professionel sværvægtsboksning, Mike Tyson, smider handskerne - og i stedet kaster sig over et nyt job. Som prostitueret.

Så er du kvinde, er der altså en chance for at gå om ikke ringen, så i hvert fald i clinch med muskelbundtet. Du skal bare lige vide, at det ikke er gratis. Han har sin pris - den er godt nok ikke blevet smidt på bordet endnu, men.....!

I følge Wenn, skal Mike Tyson fremover være mandlig escort på et bordel, som "Hollywood Madam" Heidi Fleiss er ved at åbne.

Hun har købt 60 tønder land i Nevada, ikke så langt fra spillebyen Las Vegas - og her skal bordellet ligge. Et bordel som tilsyneladende kun kan besøges af kvinder!

Selv tager Mike Tyson det forholdsvis roligt om sit nye job. Til Wenn siger han således:
- Det er alle mænds drøm at tilfredsstille kvinder - og så få penge for det!

Selvom Mike Tyson udover sin VM-titel i boksning har et synderegister, hvor der bl.a. indgår fængsel for voldtægt, er Heidi Fleiss ikke spor nervøs.

- Jeg sagde til Mike - du skal blive min helt store hingst. Skriver Wenn.

Mike Tyson siger udover førnævnte:
- Det er alle fyres skræk, at deres kvinder skal opsøge en fyr som mig, Mike Tyson, men jeg er ligeglad med, hvad folk tænker og siger.

Thomas Eje lagde Vegas ned

Thomas Ejes store drøm gik i opfyldelse, da han i går optrådte i Las Vegas.

'Det var mindst lige så godt som derhjemme', sådan sagde kollega og ven Michael Carøe efter Thomas Ejes debut i går aftes i Las Vegas.

Og en anden god ven Don Ø erklærede sig enig.

På et af byens nye hoteller Suncoast Casino spillede den tidligere Linie 3-stjerne for et udsolgt hus. Folk var rejst til fra hele USA. Og mange havde taget turen helt fra Danmark for at følge Thomas imødesete debut i USA.

Thomas lagde for med en veloplagt version af 'The Coffee Song' og fulgte denne op med en ligeså fin udgave af bluesen 'Sweet Home Chicago'.

I sit show hyldede Eje sin mentor Victor Borge. Han betjente over ti instrumenter til perfektion. Og publikum brød flere gange ud i taktfaste klapsalver.

Bagefter sagde Thomas Eje til B.T.: 'Jeg synes, at det gik godt lige fra starten.'

Lige siden den i dag 49-årige dansker i 1990 besøgte Las Vegas sammen med sine Linie 3-kollegaer, har Thomas drømt om at få sit eget show i Syndens By. Og i går gik drømmen i opfyldelse.

Michael Jackson gør comeback uden lyd

Poppens fallerede konge, Michael Jackson, gjorde onsdag aften et besynderligt comeback til musikscenen i London. Pop-supernovaen Michael Jackson gjorde onsdag aften et haltende comeback til musikscenen under uddelingen af World Music Awards i London.

Ifølge planen skulle Jackson fremføre sit eget og 1980'ernes største hit "Thriller", men det gjorde han ikke. I stedet nøjedes han med at bidrage til omkvædet til Afrika-slageren "We Are The World", mens han har omgivet af et ungt gospelkor.

Men da den 48-årige palliet-klædte Jackson nåede til de høje toner, blev der slukket for scenelyden.

Det var første gang, at Jackson har vist sig på en scene, siden han i juni sidste år blev frikendt for anklager om seksuelle overgreb mod mindreårige.

Tidligere på aftenen modtog den ligblege Jackson en pris for sit pladesalg, der nu overstiger 100 millioner eksemplarer

Jackson på scenen igen efter fem års pause

Det omstridte popgeni synger "We are The World" i aften i London ved World Music Awards - og måske også "Thriller".

Michael Jackson er ikke mindst i London for at modtage en pris for at have solgt over 100 mio. album, skriver norske VG.

Tirsdag var Michael Jackson på besøg hos Guinness Book Of World Records i London. Her fik han et synligt bevis på, at han har sat syv verdensrekorder.

Ifølge Ekstra Bladet har den excentriske sanger lejet to etager til sig selv og sit følge på Hempel Hotel i to dage - og fået bygget en seks meter høj mur for at holde fans og nysgerrige lidt på afstand.

Muren bliver revet ned igen, så snart popstjernen er draget til staterne igen.

Hvid cola er her stadig

hi
today i am in grand rapids, michigan
it is the hometown of my very close friend of many years, anthony kiedis
today is his birthday
i love him so much and on this day i feel very grateful for our
friendship
he and i together have created lots of things
we created a way to steal from supermarkets and sneak into movie
theaters and skip out on restaurant checks when we were kids
then as we learned better, and were students of the kharmic lessons
that life gave us
we created ways to try to improve ourselves and be honest giving people
we jumped off many a hollywood apartment building roof top into the
swimming pool below
we went to many a punk rock concert and danced like untethered animals
we slept in toolsheds and bushes on the side of the road
we hitch hiked all around the place
when i was pulling into grand rapids on my big fancy tour bus today
i remembered when i came from los angeles on the greyhound bus to
grand rapids
it took 5 days and nights of sitting up on that damn bus
to visit anthony who was staying at his mother's house for the summer
and we jumped repeatedly of a train track bridge into a river
it was fun
except anthony got to go back to los angeles on an aeroplane
and i had to ride that damn stinky greyhound bus
i am so lucky to have found a friend as great as him when i was a kid
and we got to create so many beautiful things together
and here we are today in grand rapids, michigan
and we are gonna create one more beautiful thing tomorrow night at
the van andel arena.

hi world
i love you
you sad and beautiful thing
i am here in new orleans having arrived early this morning from
driving through the night from atlanta
before atlanta we drove from philly
some big drives lately a good time for reading and movie watching
last night john and i watched the movie 'slacker'
we liked it alot and it was great to hear the butthole surfers
i love the butthole surfers
their records 'rembrant pussyhorse' and 'cream corn from the socket
of davis' were never far from my turntable
when they came out.......
they also put on some of the most awesome rock shows i ever saw in my
life
and without doubt the best visuals of any rock show i ever saw
they once had a dancer who danced for the whole show
she came out naked, painted green, and with tin foil over her teeth
and they would reflect all the lights
she was great and the music was true psychedelia and paul leary such
a great guitarist.......
king and theresa on the skins
gibby waling
and jeff was a great bass player
and they had a dog named mark farner
real psychedelic
not some wimpy 60's retro cartoon
not in any way am i dissing the mind boggling power of 60's
psychedelia, but the 60's was the sixties....................it ended
punk rock happened
hip hop happened

anyways

so we got into new orleans early in the morn and i was met by my
loved ones here and my was heart was lifted
it has been a great 24 hours

there are great things afoot in chili pepper land
tomorrow we play at the voodoo fest here and the meters are playing
as well
i love the meters so much
i have learned a lot from them
we are going to jam with them at the end of our set
that is very exciting to me
they are such innovative and important musicians who are one of the
main inventors of this music we call funk
the deepest kind of groove that could have only come from those guys
in this town
art neville! leo noscetelli! george porter!
ziggy modeliste!!!!
whooooooooo hooooooooo yeeeeeeeaaaaaahhh!!!!
so it is an honor to play with them

the other exciting thing that is on the horizon for us
is that we are going to make a video for the song 'hump de bump'
and it is going to be directed by someone we truly admire and respect
the comic genius chris rock
he has been so supportive of us
and it is a kind thing
for him to take the time to direct this piece of film for us
for someone who works as hard as he does
and is as insightful and as on top of their game as he is
and who has an incredible gift of being able to give hysterical joy
to as many people as he does
to associate himself with us in this working enviroment
we are grateful......................
and it gonna be as fonky as fuck.....
yeeeah


it is pretty heavy to be here in new orleans
it has always been such a magical and mysterious place
the home of such great music
and history
louis armstrong
bunk johnson
buddy bolden (read 'coming through slaughter' by michael ondaajte)
it is heavy to realize how much the people here have had to sacrifice
because of hurricane katrina
and how much they continue to sacrifice every day
anything anyone can do to help out with the people here they should do
habitat for humanity is a great charity that helps a lot.....

thanks for reading
i'll try to write more
but i wont make any more promises that i dont keep.

and her band, lenny kaye, jay dee daugherty, and tony shanahan
we played at cbgb's for the last night of the club ever
and all i wanted to do was honor the great music that came out of
that place in the 70's
that shaped my idea of what music is
and touched me in so many beautiful ways
speaking of that
i also got to play, while recording with patti, with the great
guitarist tom verlaine
i must confess i am a little intimidated by him
i grew up admiring him so
but it seemed to go pretty well
