    BANKRUPTCY FILED

    Christine Gabell, half of the Zowie Bowie lounge act at Red Rock Resort, has filed for bankruptcy as part of a decade-old legal battle with a former Nashville music executive.

    Gabell, who goes by the stage name of Marley Taylor, faces a $1.5 million court judgment in Nashville for defaming Dan B. Wilson, Jr.

    She filed for protection under Chapter 7 bankruptcy on May 16. Las Vegas attorney Peter Dubowsky, on behalf of Wilson, on Monday served a writ of garnishment on Station Casinos, the parent company of Red Rock. Zowie Bowie reportedly received a $5 million contract from Red Rock a year ago.

    If you read the Headline ~ 50th Anniversary ~ Then you say ~ Teen heartthrob Donny Osmond, who turns 50 in December, will be joined by sister Marie and most of his singing brothers.

    Most of his his singing brothers Norm are ALAN, WAYNE, MERRILL, JAY, & JIMMY! At last count of the Osmond Family that was ALL of his singing brothers! It is the 50th Anniverary of ALAN, WAYNE, MERRILL, JAY! So could you at least give them some credit? If you say it's Donny Osmond's 50th Birthday in Dec. then you must know he hasn't been performing for 50 years! What other Group can boast 50 years of entertainment? They (ALAN,WAYNE, MERRILL, JAY deserve more credit than you give them of a remark that Donny Osmond will be joined by MOST of his singing brothers.
