Remember last week when the manager of the Aladdin casino ordered his armed guards to remove Linda Ronstadt after she dedicated a song to Michael Moore? Turns out the manager will be collecting unemployment just as soon as the bankrupt Aladdin is sold, perhaps as early as next September.
In addition, the new owners have extended an open invitation to Ronstadt to return to the Aladdin stage any time and have taken Michael Moore up on his offer to join Ronstadt on Aladdin's stage to sing "America the Beautiful" when the new management team takes control.
"We respect artists' creativity and support their rights to express themselves," said Robert Earl, CEO of Planet Hollywood the new owner of the Aladdin. "We were very sorry to hear about the unfortunate circumstances of this past Saturday night and want to make it clear that Planet Hollywood has never, in our 13 year history, restricted any artists' right to free speech and we will continue with that policy once we take ownership."
