Burlesque...angry mob storms into night! LA Weekly screening a fiasco!
Earlier this evening a posse of Cher fans were literally seeing red - when they were turned away from a Grove Theatre screening of her latest flick "Burlesque" - in spite of the fact they held precious invites in their greasy little palms!
Obviously - LA WEEKLY (a sponsor of the highly-publicized event) overbooked the ballyhooed sneak preview - in a concerted effort to ensure that all the plush seats were filled (if only to save face to industry execs at-large who have been predicting doom-and-gloom from the early development phase).
The guests (in the 18-to-30 demographic age-range) waited patiently for almost two hours - in a convoluted line that zig-zagged this way 'n that in a ridiculous fashion about the dismally-small lobby - before a rude insulting usher suddenly appeared from nowhere and shooed them away from the entrance to the screening room.
"The theatre is seated to capacity," he snapped at the startled filmgoers, without any explanation for the long wait, or even ounce of empathy or compassion for their plight.
Fans of the two lead stars (Cher and Christine Aguilera) were ready to burn their CDs - just betcha - in the horrendous aftermath that followed.
According to insider buzz, the bloated paltry offering, is about to be dubbed a gigantic commercial flop.
Uh-huh!
Cynics are joking that this ceremonial turkey is arriving just in time for the critics to carve it up into itsy-bitsy little pieces for the upcoming thanksgiving holiday next week.
Soon, it will be set adrift down the river, to DVD hell (or late-night boob-tube oblivion, whichever comes first), thank God!
Cher, heap-loads of botex injections won't be able to mask this disaster.
Amen!
