I haven't heard anything lately about Wayne Newton.

What's he up to these days?

He ever get that jet out of his yard at Casa Shenandoah?

Is he performing much any more?

He was headlining a show recently, but it was mostly him looking back at his career, not singing.

His voice is gone but the show Bill was discussing at Bally’s was still filled with a nostalgic look at his life with video and stories. And a few verses of songs. He also reached a deal to stay at Shenandoah and you can get deals on tours there on Groupon cheap.

He had a hell of a life and even almost banged Ellen Griswold.

It looks like you can still book a tour:

https://www.casadeshenandoah.com/

And that page still shows the jet.

I live down the block from Shenandoah and am amazed how popular it is, tourwise.

Comedian George Wallace was billed "The New Mr. Las Vegas". (This was some years ago and I think he's since retired.) I always felt this title was undeserved. All he could do is hold a microphone and tell jokes. And his material was mundane and unsophisticated. Wayne Newton is very talented musically and has mastered many instruments.

But, unfortunately, Wayne Newton has been involved in many lawsuits and counter-suits. Anyone that would ever enter into a contract with him should be cautioned.

Ugh. Maybe once we can keep that out of it. But I’m sure Wayne did bang his share of starlets along the way. And he was in the adventures of Ford Fairlane, Mr Rock & Roll detective.

Why do people think having sex with a celebrity / starlet will be better than having it off with a non-celebrity?

Sex is sex.

Young starlets may have pretty bodies but by report most are head cases: insecure, neurotic, searching (as are we all).

Loveless sex is always that, no matter who the other party is.

In the Bonds movie selling drug. I wonder why he would take that role. I certainly wouldn't.

Banging starlet fulfills you psychologically. Pretty or not,still the same hole. But starlets make you feel good

Would you rather have sex with the hottest A-list celebrity but be sworn to secrecy about it

or

NOT have sex with that same hot A-lsit celebrity but, he/she will tell everyone that you did have sex with them?

1 obviously. It's actually ideal because if i dissapoint her it doesn't wind up in a best selling book.

2 would be perpetually embarrassing.

Why would #2 be perpetually embarrassing? nobody would ever know you didn't have sex with them -- the world would all believe you did

I'd be fine with nobody knowing. I mean, i get to know right? They don't wipe out my memory with one of those MIB things, right?

I wouldn't want everybody to know either way. Strangers coming up to me and saying "you banged Scarlett Johansson! " and stuff like that would suck.

If i actually didn't, it would be embarrassing because it would just be a constant reminder that i didn't do what everyone gave me credit for. Like, if you got a 1200 on your SATs and people kept congratulating on your 1600. Now the 1200 seems crappy.

I guess the one benifit, and it would be considerable, is that other women would be 100x more attracted to you. Hadn't thought of that.

Even so, this is a no brainer.
