Poker Champ / Star of “Sin City Rules” on TLC – Jennifer Harman
Jennifer Harman guests on LVBST radio show with Comedian Michele LaFong. LV Backstage Talk is the only show that “Gets Personal with the Stars.”
As one of the best and most recognized poker players in the world, Jennifer Harman was approached by the show’s producers to join the cast of Sin City Rules including Lana Fuchs of Billionaire Mafia; celebrity hypnotist, Kimberly Friedmutter; local entertainment reporter, Alicia Jacobs; mob boss daughter, Amy Hanley; and Lori Montoya, owner of Rain Cosmetics.
“Being on camera is obviously nothing new for me, but being with women is. My home life and career are both full of men and I never really have the opportunity to meet new female friends. I’m glad that I did this show because between Lana, Kimberly and Lori, they’ve brought such amazing female power into my life. Did I leave out the other two women?- oh well.
What I hope comes across about me on “Sin City Rules” is that there’s nothing fake about me- what you see is truly what you get. I’m genuine in my priorities of family, friendship and ethics and I deal with everything that comes my way- I’m strong.”-Jennifer Harman

“The December 8th edition of HBO’s “World Championship Boxing” featuring Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez 4 in a 12-round Welterweight Bout will take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV (6PM/PT – PPV). Sitting front/center providing the sports’ leading expert commentary is boxing legend ROY JONES JR. As a professional, he has captured numerous championships in the Middleweight, Super middleweight, Light heavyweight and Heavyweight divisions. He is the only boxer in history to start his career as a junior middleweight, and go on to win a heavyweight title. Jones left his mark in boxing history when he won the WBA heavyweight title, becoming the first former middleweight champion to win a Heavyweight title in 106 years.”
“With the recent passing of Emanuel Steward, HBO announced that Roy Jones Jr., will assume Steward’s role on “WCB” and PPV cards for the rest of 2012. Jones began filling in for Steward in September, when he was too ill to work and had to miss the Andre Ward-Chad Dawson and Sergio Martinez-Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. broadcasts. The past days have been challenging as Roy Jones Jr., the boxing community and fans worldwide mourned the death of Macho — the support and love received is truly appreciated.”

Singer / Songwriter – Bill Medley
Bill Medley speaks to LaFong on LVBST Radio Show with Comedian Michele LaFong about the details of his long, blessed career as both a solo artist, and his early success as being half of The Righteous Brothers.
Medley is a seminal figure in the history of American music. He is perhaps best known as half of the unmistakable duo, The Righteous Brothers. Their raw emotional rhythm and blues sound essentially created the genre “blue-eyed soul.” In the mid-1960s, the Righteous Brothers became a fixture on Top Forty radio with hits like “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin,” “Just Once in My Life,” “Unchained Melody,” and “(You’re My) Soul and Inspiration,” creating an ultra- dramatic take on Sixties pop romance.
As Medley segues into a new portion of his career, he’s also performed duets publicly on occasion with his daughter, McKenna, who has her own show in Las Vegas. But he has no plans to find another permanent singing partner. Instead, Medley expects to strike out one more time on his own, with the stage serving as a safety net from which he’s still able to make a connection-with the fans who continue to adore both The Righteous Brothers and Medley’s powerful bass, but also with his own passion for music. Not that his rare gift makes him any different from the people who inhabit the audience. “My friends that I see on a daily basis are guys I went to junior high and high school with,” he notes. “It just has kept me very, very sane. So when I go out on stage to perform, I really feel like I’m one of those fans. I understand how they feel.”

Bill Maher, Scott Record-LVBST w/Comedian Michele LaFong
Nov.1, 2012 6pm-7pm PST 1230AM in LV & The Web
Audio of interviews posted below (Scroll down)
Comedian Bill Maher, a favorite guest on “Las Vegas Backstage Talk” radio show, with Comedian Michele Lafong which now airs on KLAV, 1230 am in Las Vegas, and The Web, answers questions about his personal experiences on other talk shows, his feelings on Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s treatment of him when he guested on “The View,” and Barbara Walter’s response behind the scenes. He also speaks about the republican party, President Obama, and the upcoming presidential election.
For the last 18 years, Maher has pushed the boundaries of how far political humor and satire can go on American television. First on “Politically Incorrect” (which first aired on Comedy Central before moving to ABC), and for the last seven years on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and scathing humor have garnered him 21 EmmyR nominations. In October 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s swipe at organized religion, “Religulous,” which went on to become the seventh-highest grossing documentary ever.
In addition to his television program-which has featured such regular visitors as Ben Affleck, Robin Williams, Arianna Huffington, Alec Baldwin and Michael Moore-Maher has written four bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden” and most recently, “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer.”
Bill Maher will be featured in Comedian Michele LaFong’s Syndicated “Las Vegas Backstage Talk” column, in June’s issue of Casino Player Magazine. He will also be LaFong’s Cover/Feature Interview in “Getting Personal with the Stars” in November’s 2013 edition of CP Magazine.
