Las Vegas Weekly

Blaze- I am not going to enter into a dialog over this but suffice to say I do not have to crawl to an editor. This was an act of professional courtesy and good manners that we practice in our profession - something you might do? Less than 10 critics and more than 80 demands for continuing coverage. Who should we listen to. I guess you'd accuse me of being a syncophant to Ms. America, Reba McEntire , the Kardashiians and all the others we've written about in the past two weeks with narry a mention of the couple you loathe for zero reason?
I'll put my journalistic credentials of 43 years and 5 long running international TV series and 3 authored books up against anybody you care to name. Remember though I have no intention of starting a dialog with you. This is my only response.

SparkleSkullRN: my heart goes out to you as the parent of two autistic children. I am a grandparent myself with two medically challenged grandchildren. I support numerous charities to help find cures and continue research to solve these life issues.
Please use your emotions to focus on your children rather than somebody in showbusiness.

Highly disgusted: Its ok to share truth but not venom.Thats not entertainment. Thats vindictive!

onwards- cheers- rl

THIS WAS POSTED ELSEWHERE ON OUR LAS VEGAS WEEKLY WEBSITE BUT I WANTED TO SHARE 'BYSTANDERS' COMMENTS WITH YOU:

Robin, I know off topic here, but I do hope you read this. Your articles, insight and interviews w/ Criss have always been most appreciated by his fans. Especially on CA.com. Over the years you have been like a direct link between Criss and his fans. Many times Criss has said...Robin tell them this and tell them that... which you have with great honestly and accuracy. This is very rare from the Vegas press. It seems so much is well...just total B.S. You are the exception and I hope that you will not let the jealous haters ruin that for all the true fans who may just not be as vocal on the internet blogs. If you do choose not to write about Criss anymore, I know I speak for many who would say it will truly be missed. I know your exclusive interview w/ Criss at the preview of Believe brought tears to my eyes. It was very touching and let us fans in.....just a little bit.....to be a part of the magic we so admire.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

HAVING WATCHED YOUR POINTLESS POSTINGS DURING MY PROMISED SILENCE- DID YOU MISS THE STORIES AND PHOTOS OF THEIR MEXICAN BEACH VACATION- I CALCULATE WE HAVE LESS THAN TEN FOAMING AT THE MOUTH FANATICS RANTING RUBBISH AT EVERY POSSIBLE MOMENT. WORSE LEFT UNCHECKED YOU HAVE NOW DEGENERATED INTO SIMPLY CALLING EACH OTHER PIGS AND SLUTS. CHARMING! WHAT GUTTER HAVE YOU LOWERED YOURSELF TO?

I HAVE ASKED MY EDITOR JOHN KATZ TO TAKE A LOOK THRU ALL THESE VENOMOUS UNWARRANTED POSTS THIS MORNING TO DELETE, PURGE AND EXCORIATE FOREVER.

I AM OVERWHELMED BY THE STUPIDITY OF A MINISCULE FEW BUT AM RELIEVED AT THE KINDNESS AND NICENESS OF SO MANY OF YOU WHO HAVE WRITTEN ME PLEADING AND BEGGING I CONTINUE ON WITH FAIR AND BALANCED CRISS ANGEL COVERAGE.

SINCE CRISS RETURNS TO VEGAS THIS WEEKEND AND ' BELIEVE' RESUMES WITH NEW ILLUSIONS ON DECK I PROMISE TO RESUME COVERAGE WHEN APPROPRIATE. I AM SURE THIS WILL BE A RELIEF TO THE REAL FANS AND CHOKE-OFF THE LESS THAN TEN HATERS!

ONWARDS- AND FROM NOW ON YOUR RANTINGS AND RAVINGS WILL BE SEVERELY MONITORED IN THE INTERESTS OF A CLEAN- FREE ENVIRONMENT! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OBSCENELY AND IMMATURELY B AD MOUTHING EACH OTHER BECAUSE - AS WE SAY IN ENGLAND- WE JUST DON 'T NEED THAT RUBBISH AROUND HERE ANYMORE!

GO FIND ANOTHER SITE TO SPEW YOUR STUPIDITY AND UNINFORMED GARBAGE. ! IT SIMPLY ISN'T GOING TO WORK HERE ANYMORE!

CHEERS- RL

Its so hard for me to BELIEVE that 88 longwinded comments - some quite malicious- are warranted for a simple story about the romanttic activities of three happy couples. Why is it impossible for you to revel in bashing them?Don't you have better things to spend your time on? Two things 1) from now on I am going to refer to strip shows as topless adult cabaret because you all misread my Strip show incorrectly. When I use Strip with capital S I am referring to the affectionate nickname of Las Vegas Boulevard- not a topless show! so you are all wrong on that score. 2) again I am a reporter not a theater critic .I only report their happens and make no comment whatsoever on it. Please understand the difference. It is not my job to be judge and jury of how people live their lives- and neither is it yours. I am not qualified as a theater critic. . Incidentally to "highly disgusted" yet again all editorial is completely separate from advertising. I have no knowledge of what ads.run on this blog. That is n ot my business. Again 100% absolutely and totally incorrect allegation.

Obviously Criss generates lots of polarizing comments so from now on to deliberately avoid all of your hostilities , untrue accusations and lies about me - and him - you will have to find your Criss Angel news elsewhere. I am so disappointed in all of you I am not going to write anymore about the subject. You will have to blog your venom somewhere else from now on .

i give up on all of you.

cheers-rl

You're all going crazy chasing yourself in circles after your own tails. No truth. No sliver of it. You hear evil false rumors and you read the wrong internet sites. Lighten up and get over it. Start being nice instead of perpetuating wicked whispers and rotten rumors. Just leave them alone to live as they wish to live. For as long as they are happy together be happy for them. Stop being so judge-mental. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones! Happy New Year - rl

None of you who are writing these vicious cruel unkind comments have the slightest idea of what you are talking about. Keyra is totally correct. You are all so far from the truth it makes you all sound ridiculous, quite frankly. Until you spend time in social and business circumstances with people you can have no knowledge of who they really are and how they behave. I can tell you from my close-up observations and interaction that Criss & Holly are "soul-mates" and both his mom and brothers and her parents are a very contented group about it all. So stop the nonsense of you know not what you speak or write. Leave them alone- they are genuinely fond of each other and thats all that matters. Stop nosing into their lives- They didn't invite you in- so don't intrude. Happy New Year everybody- why not make it a resolution to STOP INTERFERING in other people's lives and just figure out your own!- rl

Thankyou for your comment. My sorry! I could have sworn they told me only one survivor remained now- but in the quantity of material I produce here I am happily willing to stand corrected. You got the point though- the Titanic exhibit is a very moving and emotional experience. Thanks again for the kind words- rl

Rhia- for the 4th time -I have sent you a private communication advising how best to communicate directly and personally with me. -You say you have sent previously but I honestly haven't received anything- rl

I had a wonderful Christmas with my sons, their wives and my grandkids. It was a beautiful family gathering.
Shame I had to return to the ongoing rants and stupidity here. HD- I am not going to waste any more breath on you. You don't have a clue. What a miserable life you must lead. If you loathe Criss and me with equal intensity why even bother reading this blog. Do yourself and me a favor and slither away. Vegas 123 - hysterically funny but wholly inaccurate. You would be amazed by the number of incredible "hits" we get whenever we report on Criss. Again don't waste your time reading this blog anymore. . Its simply not for you. Sorry to disappoint you all but no Criss or Holly story yesterday, today, tomorrow or Sunday. Great exclusive interviews though tomorrow with all the stunt motorcyclists jumping on the Strip on New Years Eve. Funny though you wont have anything stupid or smart to say about that? What does that say about your obsession? Don't bother answering as I'm going to ignore all your future comments and let you fade away un-noticed and un-recognized.- rl

To Highly Disgusted who wouldn't address my challenge: I am a reporter and not a theater critic. Las Vegas is well served by those experts and their reviews have all appeared in our Las Vegas Weekly and Las Vegas Sun publications. It matters not what critics say but what audiences think and when I was there for Holly's birthday it was packed and everybody loved it. Thats the proof! It is my job to report and not commentate- I do my best to give you all the best inside coverage of everything in Vegas and nobody gets more exclusive stories or more photos than we do here at VegasDeLjuxe... Gigi - you are so 100% wrong and you don't know Holly so how can you make any assumption without any knowledge whatsoever. Let them be happy together and stop getting into their lives with untruths--- cheers-rl

I am highly disgusted by the completely false slimeball accusation of "highly disgusted". I have been a journalist with 52 years of high-standing in my profession both in Britain and here. For the record I have never ever taken money in any shape or form to write anything- good bad or otherwise- in that entire time.. Your name suits you perfectly! Come out in the open , from behind your disguised name, and face me with that accusation in front of witnesses. What a low life disgusting accusation not based on one shred of evidence! What a miserable non-existent life you must lead to do nothing else but badmouth everybody without any truth whatsoever.! What have you contributed to life to make it better and brighter for others? How much did you give to charity this year? Let me interview you for free- like I do everybody else- and we can see your gifts to mankind!
