CRISS ANGEL HURLS BARB AT BLOGGER PEREZ HILTON
"I have to recognize someone special here in the house," said Angel, the Luxor headliner who has had a rough run.
"Perez Hilton, please stand up," said Angel, referring to the celebrity blogger whose real name is Mario Lavandeira.
Perez Hilton’s response: "Thanks for the free tickets!!"
The shocker came at the end of Angel’s 9:30 p.m. performance.
It wasn’t the first time a Las Vegas headliner took a writer to task in front of an audience — but Angel blasted a writer with a vast Internet audience.
Wayne Newton stopped his show during the 1990’s to deliver a blistering critique of a Las Vegas entertainment critic who had been a thorn in Newton’s side.
