After scraping not just the bottom of the barrel but the underside of the barrel with the likes of Levi Johnston (evidently getting a famous person’s daughter knocked up makes you a celeb, in which case America has officially run out of that colorful subspecies), there was nowhere for Paris-Las Vegas nightclub Chateau Nightclub & Gardens to go but up, way up. Enter Juliette Lewis, slated to grace the Strip on July 11. Since her film career seems to have peaked around 1996, with Robert Rodriguez‘s From Dusk Till Dawn, she’s being billed as “rebel rocker Juliette Lewis.” Evidently “Academy Award nominee” just doesn’t have the cachet it once did.
In other Caesars Entertainment entertainment-related news, indefatigable Defending the Caveman star Kevin Burke is notching his — yowzers! — 3,000th performance of the one-man show on June 7. Burke, an engaging performer whose idea of relaxation is to double as the headliner of Fitz of Laughter, up the Strip at the late Don Barden‘s casino, has propelled Caveman through back-to-back runs at the Golden Nugget, Excalibur and now Harrah’s Las Vegas. S&G congratulates Burke on both his work ethic and staying power.
I can’t even imagine listening to Juliette Lewis sing, the voice grates on me enough.
I couldn’t find a link to email you and you already maybe aware, but Penn and Columbus seem to have reached an agreement on annexation.

I wasn’t aware the owners of the Dispatch had filed suit against Penn as well, seems a bit bizarre for a publisher, but maybe that’s the reason I get the feeling the Dispatch isn’t 1/2 the paper that I’ve seen in other markets.
I like Juliette Lewis. She was outstanding in Strange Days, a little known but entertaining film. I am unaware that she has embarked on a music career. The last music I purchased was around 1988, so I qualify as an old guy.
