I have never been prouder to say I used to work for Planet Hollywood!!!

PERSONAL NOTE: FROM 1993-1999 I served as Planet Hollywood's Chicago based publicist!!! I have just dropped my old boss a note thanking him!

It's official: The duo of Linda Ronstadt and "Fahrenheit 9/11" filmmaker Michael Moore will sing "America the Beautiful" at Planet Hollywood this fall, after the takeover of the Aladdin.

That's the word from my Left Coast spies, and I do mean "left."

Planet Hollywood chief Robert Earl invited the two to perform after the Aladdin's eviction of Ronstadt on Saturday. The dismissal followed her show, during which she criticized the casino and politicized the event by dedicating her encore song "Desperado" to Moore.

Ronstadt told the Tucson (Ariz.) Citizen, her hometown newspaper, that many of her fellow entertainers have been supportive.

"Irving Azoff, who is the Eagles' manager, immediately pulled all his acts from the Aladdin," she said. "I've had phone calls and messages from all over. Elton John sent me flowers last night. Keith Richards, Sting, the list goes on and on of people pouring in support."

4. Whoopi used to be a Planet Hollywood shareholder. . .

. . .I am not sure what her relationship is with PH now, a lot has happened since we all left (celebs and exec staff).

5. Don't Ahnuld and Bruce Willis own it? (nt)

6. Arnold left in 1999 but remains friendly. . .

. . .I think Bruce is still involved. Just an FYI they never owned it, they were shareholders, there is huge difference. We had close to 100 celebrity shareholders.
