Linda Ronstadt gets the boot

Linda Ronstadt got the boot from a Las Vegas casino after starting a near-riot by praising filmmaker Michael Moore during a concert Saturday.

Before singing "Desperado" for an encore at the Aladdin hotel-casino, she called Moore a "great American patriot" and "someone who is spreading the truth." She also encouraged everybody to see his anti-Bush documentary. Her comments drew loud boos and some of the 45-hundred people in attendance stormed out of the theater. People also tore down concert posters and tossed cocktails into the air.

Ronstadt was sent packing. She wasn't allowed back in her luxury suite and was escorted off the property. The president of the Aladdin says as long as he's there, "she's not going to play" [what a prick].document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
