Singer Bette Midler has told Sky News she is quitting touring - to help save the planet.
The 62-year-old says she feels that the fleet of 14 lorries she uses to ship her show from city to city causes too much pollution.
So instead she's decided to pitch up in Las Vegas and do a $13m residency instead.
"Over the years, the number of trucks that I have behind me has grown exponentially and I don't really like that, I don't like wasting the gas," she told me on a promotional trip to London.

Backing Democrat Barack Obama for the White House, she's suspicious of the competition, namely Republican hockey mum Sarah Palin.

So if politics, climate change and $13m worth of feathers are your thing, Bette Midler's pitched up in Vegas for the foreseeable and she's waiting for you to arrive.
:rotf:

Why would anyone pay money to listen to that hag belchout "music". She can't carry a tune in a bucket with the lid on it.

I told y'all more than a few times that I "know" Bette from backstage and that she is an emotional nutzoid. I told ya'!
BTW, Midler is a very talented entertainer and her shows are (were?) an experience to behold. IOW, she is good at what she does. But she is a wacko, and I don't mean in the humorous way.
Thirty years ago, Midler was one of those entertainers who could not come out of character when leaving the stage. Example, if the last song she sang before leaving the stage was "Hello In There", she would cry for hours. If it was "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", she'd be in Patti Andrews mode for hours. I assume she is the same today.

She performed last season on American Idol. Her face was pulled so tight she could barely move her mouth. She may have been a good performer in her heyday, but she sure stunk it up on the American Idol stage. I would never shell out money to see her.

You are right. Vegas is where they end up when all they have left is their reputation. See: Cher Bono

We used to go see her perform "off,off" broadway, back in the 70's before she became a phenomenon, and always thought she put on a good show......

Yep. She made her millions with the buses, so it's all good. Don't expect her to make up for the "damage" she thinks she caused already. She couldn't afford it anyway considering how expensive "carbon offsets" are.

Ah Vegas. Home of the neverending farewell tours.
