"Elvis My Way" Show With Brandon Bennett Returns To The Suncoast On 4/12 & 4/13

Celebrating the “King of Rock and Roll,” Brandon Bennett returns to the Suncoast Showroom with his “Elvis My Way” show on April 12 and 13.

Bennett’s show takes the audience on a journey through Elvis's career, including “The King’s” introduction to the entertainment world in the ‘50s, the famous 1968 television appearance that marked Elvis's return to live performances, and the concert years – symbolized by the powerful vocals, high energy stage performances and the legendary jumpsuits.

Bennett has received numerous accolades for his impersonation of Elvis Presley. In 2008, he won the “Ultimate Elvis Tribute Contest” and later went on to win the title of the “Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist” at Graceland. He is the 2002 International Images of the King World Champion, making him the youngest contestant ever to place and win the competition.

As a world-renowned and much sought-after Elvis illusionist, Bennett appeared in the re-enactment of the “50th Anniversary of Elvis Return Home as a Star in 1956” at the Tupelo Festival in 2006. With his tribute show and his band, “The Heart Break Orchestra,” Bennett performs in venues throughout the country, dazzling fans with his spot-on impersonation. He has also opened for legendary performers such as Diamond Rio, Ronnie Milsap and Chuck Berry.

Currently, Bennett is starring as Elvis in the Chicago-based cast of “Million Dollar Quartet” – a musical inspired by the 1956 recording session that brought together Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins.

Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available from $15.95, plus tax and fees. Tickets can be purchased at any Boyd Gaming box office, by calling 702.636.7075, or visiting www.suncoastcasino.com.

Hairstylist To The Stars Michael Boychuck Predicts Newest Hair Trends!

Style gurus can add a spring to their step as the latest ways to change up those weathered winter locks have arrived. Colorist to the stars and Las Vegas’ leading salon owner, Michael Boychuck, has predicted that natural, undone hairstyles brimming with texture and volume are bound to add something sexy to this season’s spring looks.

Boychuck believes women typically sporting perfectly polished hair should embrace their natural beauty this season. Whether it be a top knot adorned with floral accessories or a flattering feminine undone side do - opting for the effortless look is fun and flirty. The hair expert believes a wispy finish ensures the look is soft and flattering for any face shape or complexion. Sunny blonde hues or light caramel tones framing the front of the face are a staple way to lighten-up any dulled winter color.

“This winter’s hair was extremely sleek,” Boychuck said. “For the spring season, we can anticipate laid-back, fuss-free mermaid waves. Relaxed loose waves are effortlessly gorgeous and when given a tousle can recharge any lackluster volume do.”

Las Vegas’ color extraordinaire and owner of COLOR Salon at Caesars Palace and partner of LifeSpa + Salon at Life Time Fitness in Summerlin says these spring styles are playful and casually chic with just the right amount of elegance. Boychuck explains that these flirtatious locks can be achieved by leaving the straightener behind and choosing to blow-dry the roots rather than going for a stiff, straight style. Utilize products that are going to add moisture to the hair without adding too much weight, ensuring a look teeming with volume. Once dry, wrap strands of hair around a large curling barrel, with hair randomly placed. Sporting a perfect center part alongside the loose locks eludes a model off-duty vibe. For those looking to bloom into beauty, the look can be dressed up by adding a floral headband or clip and sweeping the hair to one side while leaving wisps of hair to frame the face. This look is fresh and feminine for spring’s upcoming effortlessly sexy styles.

With a season full of fun, sun and ample chlorine fast approaching, Boychuck emphasizes the importance of using color protecting products.  The after-effects of sun can wreck hair’s texture, making it important shield those trestles from damage. The hair master recommends applying Kérastase products, which can be found at either of his two salons.

Day One Of Michael Jordan Celebrity Tournament End W/25 Foot Eagle Putt!

Michael Jordan

Larry Fitzgerald

The celebrity-pro-am portion of the 13th annual Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational (MJCI) hosted by ARIA Resort & Casino at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas ended its first day earlier this evening with a spectacular 25-foot eagle putt on No. 18 by NFL All-Pro Wide Receiver Larry Fitzgerald.  The Arizona Cardinals’ fan favorite led his team to a Day One win with a score of -17 under par, 55, one stroke better than two other teams who were tied for second with a -16 under par, 56.

Today’s morning kicks off at 7:30 a.m. with the second day of the celeb-amateur tournament;  pairings and yesterday’s scores are below:



Notable Moments from the Course:

·         To start his day, Michael Jordan rolled up in his North Carolina blue signature golf cart. He had fun with his group during the first day of the tournament, including daring one of his teammates to jump into the water at the 18th hole. His teammate willingly dove in which left the legend, along with the crowd, laughing hysterically. Throughout the day, Jordan bantered with fans on the course. One fan asked who he was taking in the Final Four to which he replied, “Wisconsin!”

·         Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald chest-bumped his teammates after making a 35-foot putt midway through his Thursday round and finished the day with an eagle on 18 to win Day One.

·         As Stuart Scott teed off on the first hole, a fan yelled from the crowd, “Cool as the other side of the pillow!," referencing one of Scott's famous SportsCenter catchphrases.

·         On Brandi Chastain’s 9th hole of the day, her second shot on the par 5 flew the green and hit a rake on the side of a sand trap. The ball bounced backwards onto the green and rolled into the hole for an amazing two. The crowd went nuts and Brandi pretended to take her shirt off, reminding fans of her infamous celebration after her game-winning penalty shootout kick against China in the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup.
 
Gretchen
·         Real Housewives of Orange County Star Gretchen Rossi took pointers from fiancé Slade Smiley before teeing off at the first hole. As Smiley approached the tee box, he was introduced as the “sixth housewife,” to which he replied, “It’s okay, I’m proud of it!” His first shot only went a few feet so he took a mulligan and made the crowd laugh by saying, “Now that’s how you start off the day!” Rossi later posed beside her results on the scoreboard, proud of her performance for the day.

·         After finishing his 18 holes of golf, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw his golf ball into the MJCI bleachers at Shadow Creek’s 18th hole. Earlier in the day, he was spotted throwing a football around with his teammates on the 15th hole.

·         In true rock star fashion, Adrian Young's group rolled up to each hole blasting music from their golf carts, playing everything from LMFAO's "Party Rock" to "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones. But as he entered his backswing during his second shot, two large geese flew right over him, squawking and altering the shot. "I felt you!" he yelled jokingly at the birds.
