Bette Midler: A F--king Diva (She said it!)...

I know, I know, I'm supposed to be uploading Hong Kong pics and working on Guilin vids, but hey, can a slacker get a break?

I realize I haven't officially updated this blog since before I came home, so let's just start right here:

I was back in Los Angeles a few days, and now I've been in Las Vegas for about 4 days.

Sorry kiddies, but this trip is also without Hookers and Blow since it's kind of "work related."

However, I did go and see Better Midler yesterday, and I'll say this:

She is Fucking aWesome.

In fact, she herself used the F-word about 20 times - sometimes as a punctuation mark, sometimes as a verb, and sometimes just to shout it out to the 3,000 screaming fans in attendance.

The entire show was a huge spectacular production: Dancing, singing, and I don't want to give it away, but there was even a full-on, mechanized portion where Bette and a full chorus line of dancers are doing an entire routine in electric wheelchairs. Seriously, even I was impressed.

Though, I'm not sure what I was more entertained by: The Divine Ms. M belting out the best of her hits, or the 6 women sitting in front of me that were going ape-shit the entire time. It was like watching a live-version of the Golden Girls, except it had more drunk dancing, alcohol schluging and at one point, one of them waiving their cellphone as if it was a lighter.

But hey, I'm just glad she sang "Wind Beneath My Wings" and of course, "The Rose", which brought me to an uncontrollable fit of laughter because of this rendition of it:







All that aside, she is a consumate entertainer, and can still give Britney Spears a run for her money... ;)
