Beacher vs. Boston

As the police were surrounding him in Boston on Wednesday night, former Hard Rock headliner Jeff Beacher says, his first thought was to call me. "Well, call Page 6 and then you. But you were at the top of the list. I also wanted to make sure the paparazzi took pictures."

Beacher and his troupe of little people were hired to perform in Boston at the Estate nightclub at a party promoting Playboy Energy Drink. The first set went off without a hitch. But then the police showed up and, according to Beacher, after surrounding him, they informed him that he would be arrested if he sent the little people out again. Advertisements for the event had alerted the police, who apparently felt the need to enforce a statute outlawing "the promotion of albinos and midgets."

 

Now back in Vegas, Beacher is plotting his revenge: "This is a disgusting and discriminatory law. And Boston should get caught up with the times. What if an albino wants to be a singer? At the end of March or early April, I am going to organize a 1,000 little person march to protest Boston." (Photo by Sarah Gerke)
