Life is full of tawdry surprises!
A few scant weeks ago, I penned a post on a Magic Show in Vegas hosted by Chris Angel, in a bold-faced effort to cast a big spotlight on the unique extravaganza.
In retrospect - after an incident over the weekend - it appears that the talented maestro is not content to engage in a bit of sleight of hand.
For example, when the little hottie (known to squire a starlet or two on his arm around "sin" city) spied acid-tongued gossip-monger Perez Hilton beneath the floodlights, he was quick to toss a barb or two Hilton's way.
If Angel felt uncomfortable in Hilton's presence, then he should have pulled a disappearing act, instead.
After all, one should never look a gift horse in the mouth!
It is the ultimate sin for a performer to mistreat a paying customer.
Well, unless you're Don Rickles.
At least the former rat-packer - capable of drinking Sinatra and Martin under the table - does it with style.
Indeed, to be on the end of one of his tirades from the stage, is a compliment if you're a guest in the audience.
As to Angel - well - the thought of the trim handsome showman stepping "out of character" on stage to lower himself to a level he allegedly stooped to over the weekend in Vegas makes a body want to saw itself in half.
Chris, how could you be so tacky?
Needless to say, the Cirque du Soleil publicity staff were forced to utter up an apology for the tasteless outburst that undoubtedly shed a bad light on Angel, Cirque du Soleil, and the house in general, too.
Next time, conjure up a modicum of good manners, Mr. Magic.
Perez Vegas bound!
