...but she doesn't get to stay in Vegas.
Pop songstress Linda Ronstadt's stay at a Las Vegas hotel was cut short over the weekend after she dared to dedicate an encore of the Eagles hit "Desperado" to Michael Moore.
Here's the short version:
Aladdin President Bill Timmins ordered security guards to escort pop diva Linda Ronstadt off the property following a concert Saturday night during which she expressed support for controversial documentary filmmaker Michael Moore...Timmins later expressed hope that next week's performace by Whoopi Goldberg would go off without a hitch.
Near the close of her performance, Ronstadt dedicated the Eagles hit "Desperado" to Moore, producer of "Fahrenheit 9/11," and the room erupted into equal parts boos and cheers.
She said Moore "is someone who cares about this country deeply and is trying to help."
Ronstadt has been making the dedication at each of her engagements since she began a national tour earlier this summer, but it has never sparked such a reaction.
Hundreds of angry fans streamed from the theater as Ronstadt sang. Some of them reportedly defaced posters of her in the lobby, writing comments and tossing drinks on her pictures.
