Nothing compares to ... eww

Just 16 days after getting married in Las Vegas, Sinéad O’Connor announced that it’s over—her fourth failed marriage. Not only that, she’s now blogging about her sexual frustrations and appealing for a new lover. First of all, congratulations, Sinead. At least you outlasted Britney Spears. That being said … coulda’ done without the blogging. We’re all for celebrity marriages here, but we think we speak for all Las Vegans when we say—leave our city out of it next time.

Pay fail

Kim Kardashian will be making a reported $600,000 for her New Year’s Eve appearance at Tao. Meanwhile, Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas, who will appear and perform at 1Oak at the Mirage, will be making a reported $100,000. We know that seems unfair, but bear in mind Kim’s 15 minutes are just about up, so she needs more cash in the short term. Fergie’s got years of fame left.

Heidi Fleiss

Premature eviction

Heidi Fleiss has been evicted from her pet-grooming business in Pahrump. Her landlord claims Fleiss fell behind on rent and turned the property that houses the Dirty Dog Laundry shop into “a dump.” Let’s see—she couldn’t run a brothel; she became a crazy bird lady for a while; then she couldn’t run a pet-grooming business. Guess it’s time for her to get into politics.
