Danny Gans memorial plans revealed


Speakers at the Danny Gans memorial service tomorrow afternoon will include Las Vegas celebrities, pols, leaders and stars (and, we'll bet, an evangelist or two), including mayor Oscar Goodman, Donny & Marie Osmond (whose Vegas show Gans produced) and Andre Agassi. That's according to Norm Clarke of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, who twitters the news he attributes to Danny Gans' longtime close personal friend, beauty queen-turned-TV entertainment reporter Alicia Jacobs. No one in Las Vegas is reporting on the details of the Strip superstar's life, death, the delays in the release of the coroner's toxicology report, or the controversies involving the insurance and Gans' deal with the Encore Theatre where the memorial will take place at 3 pm.

Though the 3 p.m. event is billed as by "invitation only," one Tabloid Baby source reports being "offered free tickets... via Show Tickets 4 Locals," a website that allows show producers "to give back and show their appreciation to locals in the form of free or discounted show tickets," and which is a nice gesture to Gans' hometown fans.
