Beacher's best publicity stunts
11:24 AM PT, Aug 15 2007
Publicity stunts used to have a grand tradition in Vegas. But their glory years were long past before Jeff Beacher arrived in Las Vegas at the end of 2003 to become the first headliner at the Hard Rock. Beacher has revived the tradition with a vengeance. Beacher's latest publicity stunt involves a threat of retirement, 50 Cent, and Kanye West. Norm writes the details up this morning, and it is almost too complicated for me to follow. However, it got me thinking and here is a list of my 5 favorite publicity stunts from Beacher's Vegas past. (This list does not include hiring talent like deposed Miss.Nevada, Katie Rees, at a headline-convenient moment or his permanent Page 6 position that comes from being friends with Paris Hilton.) Beacher, by the way, does not believe that he has performed traditional publicity stunts in Vegas; "Things just happen" is how he puts it. So, here is my list of Top 5 things that just happened involving Jeff Beacher and some that did not go as planned.
5. Beacher promised to make himself into the world's largest pig-in-a-blanket by wrapping himself in dough and being dunked in a vat of ketchup. The event was canceled when the heated-up dipping sauce caused health concerns.
4. Beacher promises to lose 100 pounds to run in the Las Vegas Marathon in December 2007. Beacher claims to be steadily losing weight. My own visual examination cannot yet tell conclusively.
3. To assist in his weight loss, Beacher also has taken a vow of celibacy. There has been much less discussion of this vow recently than when it was announced.
2. PETA Vs. Beacher's monkey. PETA started the feud, but Beacher won by using the animal rights group for plenty of press all over the country for the Madhouse. The monkey is still in the show.
1. Beacher announces his arrival in Vegas by sneaking into the MGM disguised as a maintenance worker. As the Billboard Music Awards was letting out at the resort, Beacher stripped down to a Speedo wearing a snorkel and sign advertising his show, and jumped into a fish tank near the entrance of Studio 54 at MGM.
