Lady Gaga canceled her appearance at the hotel with just 24 hours notice.

Gaga’s camp claimed she was fighting exhaustion and dehydration late Thursday night when they pulled her gig at Purdue University in Indiana (where her two opening acts had performed before there was word she wouldn’t be coming on). They used the same excuse the next day for Gaga’s New Jersey show but — no shocker here — the singer was well enough to appear live on “Oprah” that very afternoon.

“This is what happens when spoiled rich girls become entertainers,” one disgruntled fan wrote on her official Web site. “They don’t care about anything but themselves.”

Atlantic City has most definitely been home to a great many musical acts and spectacles but few are as exciting as the upcoming event featuring the “Dynamic Duo” of Lady Gaga and Jason Derulo. This is certainly going to be one of the most - pardon the pun - dynamic events to hit the city in a long time. Those that love a diverse spectacle of music will definitely find it appealing.

Again, these are acts you will not want to miss.

Lady Gaga is known for her glam rock look that is a modernized version of the trend made famous in the 1970s. This is, by no means, an indication that her music is derivative. Quite the contrary, she brings a unique and brilliant sound to the event that fans will surely never forget. She is coming off a very successful world tour and a commercially strong selling CD. This will definitely translate into enthusiasm when she appears live on stage.

Jason Derulo has been a successful songwriter and he is now branching out in the music world with his own singing performance. Seeing him live on stage will certainly prove to be an unforgettable experience.

Kid Cudi’s supporting stint on Lady Gaga’s “Monster Ball” tour though has come to an end. The “Day ‘N’ Nite” rapper announced that he is pulling out of the tour due to time conflicts.In a statement released on Wednesday (Dec. 16), he explained his departure. “Kid Cudi has decided to take an early leave of absence from Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour, in order to balance his schedule surrounding the recording of his next album and acting commitments. Cudi does not want to disappoint his fans and will move forward with his individual show dates in December and throughout the month of January.”

The show will take place at the Borgata Event Center in Atlantic City on the Saturday evening of January 16, 2010.This event is going to be a huge hit,after being sold out in a record time of 10 minutes,people hardly doubt it. The show will start promptly at 8pm so don’t be late or you may miss out!

Mariah Carey is one of the best selling female artists of all time.This sexy diva is known for her sultry and dynamic vocal stylings. She is a five time Grammy Award winning artist and has the most number-one hits in the United States as a solo artist. Mariah collaborated with some of the hottest names in the music industry that include the likes of Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Usher, Jermaine Dupri, Kanye West, The Neptunes, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Not only is she a singer, but a writer and producer as well. Not that Ms. Carey is back on top of the music world, her concert during the week of January 2nd at Borgata was the most incredible so far. When she stood there and began singing the interlude to Daydream, that’s when the crowd knew it was in for a treat!

Mariah Carey was born and raised in Huntington, Long Island, New York. Music had a large influence on Mariah at an early age. She would listen to her mother practicing opera and soon began to imitate her. She began singing at the age of three and throughout her early teens would find herself skipping school to focus on music. After graduation from high school, she moved to New York City working part-time jobs to pay the rent. In 1998, Mariah finally got her big break when she met Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola. Mottola listened to a demo of Mariah’s work and soon signed her to a recording contract.

Mariah’s early success came with the release of her self titled debut album, where she co-wrote many of the tracks. Her debut album was a huge commercial success as it yielded four number-one singles and made Mariah an over night star in the United States. As the success of the debut album continued, Mariah would win Grammys for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Mariah’s career continued to roll and she received Billboard’s Artist of the Decade Award. Soon after, Mariah would depart from Columbia Records and sign with Virgin where she would sign a contract worth a reported $80 million. It was during this time that Mariah’s career would begin to take a turn in the opposite direction. She would find herself checking into a hospital suffering from an emotional and physical breakdown. Also during this time, Mariah would be panned by critics for her role in Glitter and the accompanying soundtrack of the same name.

Carey’s career was resurrected in 2005 with her tenth studio album release, The Emancipation of Mimi. Mimi was critically acclaimed and garnered Carey three Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song.

The diva was back and her career was skyrocketing her to a new level of fame. Mariah began The Adventures of Mimi Tour, which was the most successful tour of the career to date. Her personal life would also begin to shine as she met and married Nick Cannon. According to Mariah, she has never been more at ease with herself or more fulfilled in her life than she does at this point in her life.

Mariah’s latest album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, has already earned praise from critics and fans alike. Mariah would also receive much praise for her role in the critically acclaimed film, Precious. Mariah’s new tour features the diva at her best. Coming down from the ceiling on a swing with a beige dress she yet again proved that she is one of  the most beautiful, talented performer of all time, Mariah Carey!

To understand why Charlie Prose is such an influential man, it is important to understand exactly where he came from. It all started at a grocery store that was run by his father, and the other members of his family. He was thirteen years of age when the salesman entered the store and showed him the old saxophone. It didn’t take long for him to obtain it and within two weeks, he’d learned to play the saxophone well enough to start his own band.

That was the beginning, and as you can see, it’s not exactly a humble beginning. When someone has a gift, it is his or her obligation to share it with the rest of the world, and that’s exactly what Charlie Prose did. Ever since then, even to this day Charlie Prose has been giving liver performances, making people laugh and live a little. It is even said that the fans feel as if they have a personal relationship with him. How many entertainers out there can pull that off?

Continuing the tradition, on December 4, 2009 through December 6, 2009 on Friday, 9 pm, Saturday, 8 pm and Sunday, 3 pm one can see Charlie Prose perform with David Grayson at Trump Plaza. The entry fee is $35 and a good time is guaranteed to be had by all.

For the past thirteen years, Charlie Prose has performed at Atlantic City, and so far, it’s been the longest running holiday show there. He provides clean humor, which is something that you don’t see much anymore. On top of that, it’s enjoyable humor. It’s been a while since someone was able to deliver a funny like without making a sexual reference or uttering a curse word. So when you hear the name Charlie Prose, you know it’s safe to take your entire family along.

The show is sold out every year, and this year in New Jersey should be no different. Though it seems that mostly senior citizens enjoy his routine, it’s clear that anyone can sit back and enjoy this light heated humor.

For those of you who don’t know, Trump Plaza is located below pacific avenue near the beach. It should be easy to find, and if you cannot, just ask a city official where the Charlie Prose show is! There’s no doubt that someone will be able to point you to it.

Are you ready for a night of fun filled laughter? Are you ready to have an enjoyable holiday? If so then reserve your tickets now, before they’re sold out! Make the call, write a letter, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure you get in!

Nothing this year made me so full of anticipation as the rumors of the legendary Stevie Wonder planning a long awaited (12 years to be precise) tour of the US, and nobody heard me squeal so profusely when I discovered those rumors were in actual fact - FACT!

For the millions of you who shared my delight, his tour which began in August has been a revelation. It was no wonder then that tickets were being sold at an alarming rate and I was somewhat (extremely) disappointed when I missed out. The good news is, ladies and gentleman, its not too late to be the bearer of a ‘golden ticket’. Sir Stevie Wonder has extended his tour and for those who missed out the first time round, tickets are now available to see our beloved icon in locations such as the Borgata Center in Atlantic City. As of October the 25th, Stevie will be giving us some live events throughout the east.

My ticket for the Borgata Center is in a safe place until the 27th of October arrives - the big day. After weeks of frustration, all my wishes came true with the announcement of the added dates. I am in no doubt that these tickets will soon be sold out too, so if your thinking about it, don’t! better not waste the time, just act on it. Come and join me boogieing on down to the likes of “Superstition”, “Higher Ground” and some of his later works; “So What the Fuss” and “Shelter in the Rain”.

So what made Stevie decide to tour after 12 years? Delighted as I was, I thought it was a little out of the blue. It has been reported that his inspiration came from the recent death of his mother, Lula Mae Hardaway. She is also the muse of his upcoming album “The Gospel Inspired by Lula”, to be released in January next year, coinciding with her birthday.

Stevie’s last studio album was titled “A Time to Love”. Emerging in 2005 and reaching number 5 in the Billboard 200, it was and still is a perfect blend of anthems and laid-back R&B/Soul. In a time when a lot of R&B is about drugs, money, or infidelity, Wonder’s lyrics offer us the innocence and simplicity of early Motown. A refreshing change I might add. After playing the album on repeat, for what seems like an eternity, I am more than a little excited to hear and see them live on stage.

I can’t comprehend for what might have been if I never bought my ticket for the Borgata. To me and to many others who have walked the globe since Stevie’s existence, the acceptance that this guy is a genius is just the beginning. I still find myself full of admiration for a man who is fully blind, but brimming with life and musical ambition. Everything that he’s recorded bares the tone of his jubilant positivity. He has taught us so much on issues of racial, social and spiritual context.

Stevie Wonder shares a love of music like I do and when I listen to him I feel on top of the world. No exaggeration. I can’t wait to see him later this month…Can you?

Catch him live at the Borgata Center, Atlantic City, 26th-27th October.

If you are in the mood to be really close to the beach, you can’t get much closer than the Bikini Beach Bar at Bally’s. This bar is known for its live band and for its proximity to the water and you will find that though the food here is your basic bar food, it is plentiful and pretty tasty. Look for the Old Bay fries and the shrimp, and make sure that you stay long enough for the cocktails. There are many different theme nights that you can take advantage of when you are looking at the Bikini Beach Bar at Bally’s, so keep a look out for things like Latin Mondays and ’80s Wednesdays.
