Please leave Bruno Mars along everybody makes mistakes and he made a mistake I'll still date him .
No one cares who this Bruno Mars guy is... IT IS INTERESTING however that the HRock security people busted him then turned him over to the police.... It just makes you wonder what the heck was going on, or what they were thinking. Can you imagine the Mirage busting Danny Gans? Will the HRock be monitoring Nine Inch Nails restroom activity the next time they play there? I mean really, if all musical acts were drug tested and monitored there would surely be a lot of empty stages.
Am I supposed to know who Bruno Mars is?
Who the hell is he anyway - and what's with the name change from HERNANDEZ to MARS??? That says it all.
WHAT on earth is HardRock security thinking?? @Michaelcommenting--- you are totally right. What goes on in hotel bathrooms has ALWAYS stayed in hotel bathrooms. Let's see how many rock and roll acts cancel if they know they might get popped by security for something while on property. The only acts HR will be booking in the future will be the Osmonds. Sheesh!!
wow, can u imagine Sands arresting Sammy Davis Jr. or Frank Sinatra for drugs on the property?
Hard Rock will need to change their spew. Maybe wussy rock.
It doesn't belong to me....It belongs to Paris!!
Dudes from Mars man,give Him a Break..
