Vanilla Ice & Berlin performed at Trump's Mar-a-Lago NYE party that he bailed on

Article

(CNN)Guests who paid four-figures for tickets to President Donald Trump's annual New Year's Eve party were left to party with his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, his two adult sons and various figures from the conservative media — none of whom wore masks — after the President made a last-minute decision to ditch the event and return to Washington.

No official explanation for the President's early departure from Mar-a-Lago was given, though he remains consumed with efforts to overturn the election results and tensions are ratcheting up in the Persian Gulf ahead of the one-year anniversary of the US killing of Iran's top general.

Without the President as the centerpiece, the wattage of Thursday evening's party was somewhat dimmer. Performers whose heyday came decades ago -- Vanilla Ice and Berlin -- performed from the ballroom's main stage. Guests angled for selfies with Giuliani, who was wearing a blue velvet tuxedo jacket, and Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro, along with personalities from the right-wing television network OANN.

Instead of their father, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump mingled among the guests with their respective significant others, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lara Trump. Tiffany Trump also attended, though Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were not seen.

Tables set for 10 people, with no social distancing, were clustered in the ballroom with white floral arrangements and candles encased in a sculpture meant to look like the New Year's Eve ball. The menu consisted of "Mr. Trump's Wedge Salad" -- the club has kept "Mr. Trump" instead of "President Trump" on the dish -- cheese tortellini and Wagyu beef.

Many guests and entertainers were left disappointed upon learning from CNN late Wednesday that Trump would be leaving Florida early. Ticket prices for the New Year's Eve gala have steadily increased since Trump took office, and reached up to $1,000 this year, a person familiar with the matter said.

Bookings for the party increased when it was clear Trump would travel to Florida for the holidays after skipping his traditional visit for Thanksgiving. Guests and performers initially were hesitant to commit to the event without knowing whether the President would show up. As many as 500 tickets were sold for this year's event, which is somewhat less — but not much — than in years past. The Donald J. Trump Ballroom at Mar-a-Lago has a capacity of 700.

The President had been expected to attend as late as Wednesday. But by the evening, word had emerged that he and the first lady would be departing early the next day. Trump remained largely out of sight at his club during his stay as he fixated on the election results and the January 6 effort to delay certification of President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

That left the party without its usual centerpiece: a speech from the President and a chance to glimpse the first lady. Like other gatherings at Mar-a-Lago this year, almost no guests wore masks. That provided a bookend to the start of the pandemic, when a similarly maskless birthday party for Guilfoyle held in the Mar-a-Lago ballroom proved to be an early spreading event.

Was disappointed to see Berlin mentioned in that article, but video of the night shows The Beach Boys which makes more sense.

Poo poo 💩

LMFAO at R2 Kimberly acting like a 20 year old dancing to Vanilla Ice like it's 1991 again

That’s the saddest New Years party I’ve ever seen.

Please tell me these idiot entertainers got paid up front.

Berlin? Really? CUNTS!

Pathetic

Looks like Terri performed Highway to Hell. DL fave Taylor Dayne was in the house.

Teri and Taylor ARE CUNTS!!!!!

Was that Kimberly dancing with Rudy during New York, New York? You just know that he pushed his crotch into her and transferred a wet piss stain to her dress.

omg that was the trashiest thing I've maybe ever seen.. Had no idea Vanilla Ice was a Trumper

really disappointed in Taylor. She shouldn't be allowed to perform at gay pride events ever again

a few years ago she did an interview on Fox Business so now this confirms she's a right winger. Not the worst of the worst but she's clearly a right winger

wow, Taylor Dayne? she really must be desperate. i liked her, but now wtf

Beach Boys and Vanilla Ice not surprised. Taylor Dane and Berlin, very disappointed. Did Berlin sing "Sex" while Kimberly danced?

So long Taylor and Teri. You are not welcome here anymore. Signed, Fire Island, Provincetown and TGI Fridays. The only places they still play your old shitty music. Good luck at Great Adventure!

Taylor performed at our big gay club back in the day and everyone who worked there said she was a grade-A bitch. This doesn’t surprise me after witnessing her behavior that night.

Terri disappoints me.

Better to be a has-been than a never-was...or not.

Just how many Taylors are there on the music scene these days? Wherever I look there's a a Taylor this or a that Taylor. Why why why.

Fuck. I loved Berlin, too.

Time to go bully Taylor Dane on the Twitter.

People are reading Berlin and Taylor to FILTH on all their social media account. GO READ! Rightly so! Fuck them! Grease fire!

Taylor Dayne is dead to me!

Why didn't Melania stay for this? Why did she have to go back with the Dump?

Melania probably didn’t want to be part of this shit. The only reason Kimberley Guillowhatwver is having so much fun is because she’s high af.

[Quote] Photos posted online show more than a dozen packed tables—making social distancing impossible—while other snapshots featured guests closely dancing. [Bold] MyPilllow CEO Mike Lindell, Singer Taylor Dayne, and fashion designer Oscar Lopez, were among those seen. The 1970s band Berlin also performed at the event.

LOL! 1970's band.

Kimberly's obviously horny. She's not getting enough.

Look at this WHORE!

Unfortunately, Mike Love owns the rights to the Beach Boys name for touring.

Brian Wilson and Al Jardine had nothing to do with this party or any of the other Trump events that Mike Love has performed at.

Can anyone name this group? This can be legit? It's a cover band I hope.

I’m obsessed with this party.

CUNT!

CUNT!

Go to their Spotify pages and click the ellipsis (...) under the artist name, then click ‘🚫 Don’t play this artist’. They won’t even come up in random playlists anymore.

I love thinking of Dump moping at the White House plotting revenge on Joe Biden, Dr Fauci and Mitch McTurtle while this piping hot mess was happening

mask-less & brain-less assholes

And this cunt with Kim the cunt!

NOT the Beach Boys.

Just Mike Love.

By some amazing coincidence, the last four artists on my Spotify playlist are Beach Boys, Berlin, Taylor Dayne, and Blondie. I'm pretty sure people tried to cancel Blondie a few years ago. It doesn't bother me in the slightest as I automatically assume that 90% of the musicians I listen to have different politics than me, but this was surprising.

R30, though we only heard the first couple of lines, I believe it's "Papa was a Rolling Stone" by the Temptations. There is a version of the Temptations that still performs, though I don't know if this is them or not.

First hot actors from the 80's I liked, Dennis Quaid and Kurt Russell turn out to be Trumpers but now musical acts I loved too ? So sad

I love those namedrop-esque, gloating posts that act like the talent there wasn’t the equivalent of some VH1 Junkie Rehab show.

Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" is a fitting theme for a COVID Superspreader Event.

What, no Kid Rock or Ted Nugent??

Who’s Boy Jorge in R37’s pic?

Well, I used to like Berlin...Vanilla Ice is a joke, and I never liked Taylor Dayne...

R45 some MAGA FAG who thinks she’s hot shit for getting “purse puppy’d” by old drunk whores & homophobe fag hags, Judge Jeanine & Kimberly G. on NYE.

As long as the entertainers weren't the original cast members of " Follies," I don't care.

R45 he’s a designer Oscar Lopez. He won the Tim Gunn Project Runway spin-off.

Was that Kimberly dancing with Rudy during New York, New York? You just know that he pushed his crotch into her and transferred a wet piss stain to her dress.

She probably didn't notice, she's like the Holland Tunnel down there (only not as clean)

As someone else commented, I love the thought of Dump sitting up in his room sulking, probably stuffing one Big Mac after another down his gullet, bitching about the noise coming from downstairs.

Was Brenda Dickson trying to schmooze her way in?

Let them eat cake.

R50 trump and Melania were back in DC.

That video at R2 made me physically cringe. I would have paid NOT to be there.

Brendad Ickson will be photoshopping herself onto the Trump dance floor in 3... 2... 1...

Ice should be making money in a more dignified way, such as renting out his (allegedly) huge cock.

We sent our regrets, though these "Dispatches from Palm Beach" certainly are interesting as long as there's not too many of them.

White boys in tuxes saying the word 'funk'. Vomit-inducing. The whole lot of them.

[quote] Why didn't Melania stay for this? Why did she have to go back with the Dump?

STAYUND BAH YOUR MAYUN

“We’ll never stop attending super-spreader events,” vow rich Trump supporters.

Dante’s Inferno barely hinted at what HELL really looks like!

The no mask thing is so exasperating. It’s a simple fact that wearing a mask is the responsible thing to do in the middle of a pandemic.

Then again, as we all are aware, facts have a well-known liberal bias.

[quote]First hot actors from the 80's I liked, Dennis Quaid and Kurt Russell turn out to be Trumpers but now musical acts I loved too ? So sad

Kurt Russell is most definitely not a Trumper. You think Goldie Hawn would be with him?

CLAIM: Actor Kurt Russell praised President Donald Trump as “dedicated & determined” and says he wishes he could be as courageous.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The quote is fabricated.

I am so deeply disappointed in Berlin and Taylor Dane . Both acts I adored like crazy back when. I am disappointed in Vanilla Ice too . I loved Ice,Ice Baby and I always thought he was hot as fuck. You have to admit,the bastard has hardly aged . I get they probably were paid very well ,but come on guys,really ?

Did Taylor tell it to Kimberly's heart? Or Junior's?

Berlin are deleting negative comments from their social media as their fans are not happy and letting them know.

Taylor Dayne doing this is actually really horrible and heartbreaking. She has revealed herself as a complete fraud. This is why I am always wary of these performers at Pride events because for some (not all) it's a cash cow. They don't care about their gay fans.

This is also why I don't like all the criticism for Cyndi Lauper today on social media. Okay, she sounded rough. But she would NEVER do something like this and has proven time and time again she is a true ally.

R30 & R40 It's the Temptations, or what is left of them. I have a buddy playing in the orchestra.

R31 Et tu, Tree Leprechaun? Et tu?

There’s only one original temptation left and that is Otis Williams and he was the least important of the original/classic lineup. The rest are deceased. Even the replacement members that sang on the late 60s early 70s hits are dead.

Bruce Williamson who was with them for a decade as their lead singer died of covid last fall.

R70 Correcto

Berlin on bands reunited

Terri owns the Berlin name, but did John and Dave who rejoined the band and are original members do it too? Diamond has been out for years and even tried to start a career as an out and proud country singer.

Taylor Dayne I'm surprised about, given her legitimate career.

The perplexing thing is that when you look at Terri Nunn's Twitter, 99% of the people she follows are either noncontroversial musicians, LGBT causes, as well as Obama. With one notable exception: Trump (!!)

Taylor deserves all the hate she is getting. What a despicable and stupid thing to do. I don't even want to hear about how Covid is limiting gigs for performers. It's no excuse for this kind of treachery.

"Terri owns the Berlin name, but did John and Dave who rejoined the band and are original members do it too?"

Its hard to tell from the video but it looks like the band behind Terri does not feature John or David. It doesn't look like the version of Berlin before David and John came back, either. They look like a back up band who probably perform at a theme park, actually. If I'm right and David and John aren't there, it will be interesting to see if the band breaks up all over again over this. David is out and proud; I hope he's not a Log Cabinette.

Al jardine and Brian Wilson put out a statement that they are not apart of this and don’t support it or Trump at all. Mike kicked Al Jardine out and he actually toured with Wilson Phillips for a bit. Al and Brian Wilson tour together frequently and that’s the closest to The Beach Boys you will get. The musicians are much better and Al’s son Matt is a great singer and good substitute for mike love.

Brian Wilson is not perfect but Mike Love has always been a piece of shit.

Interesting that of all these groups the beach boys had the last hit song. None have been relevant in 3 decades.

How does David Diamond who is openly gay feel about this? He is so friendly and a close friend of Terri..

Why does Kimberly G. look like Morticia Adams in that one photo/post above??

The has-beens. . .have yet.. .to come!

[quote]Why does Kimberly G. look like Morticia Adams in that one photo/post above??

Morticia was sly, stylish, and slim, three things that the Garguilfoyle is not.

What a sad, tawdry and tacky event. Really pathetic.

I was in charge of handling Berlin when they came to do a show at my college around 1987. I was 19 at the time. I had to go to Terri Nunn's dressing room for something and she was clad only in a towel, which she proceeded to open to reveal her naked body. She asked me if I saw anything that I liked. One of the male band members, who I think was her boyfriend, was also in the dressing room with her. Looking back, I think they wanted a 3-way with me. Being a shy gay teenager, I was terrified and got out of the dressing room as fast as I could.

Totally heterosexual Matt Gaetz with two “guests.”

They’re just what Dump likes, big overinflated fake boobs, long hair and a full face of makeup. Playboy bunny types. I bet Dump’s party planner calls a local escort service and orders up a dozen or so for each of his MAL “events.”

CUNTS!!!!!!

Don Jr looked hawt. It just occurred to me, do you think he's having sex with his stepmother?

Also Vanilla Ice could definitely still get it!

That old bitch in the see thru cat suit at R87 just KILLS me ! Where did she buy that charming evening ensemble, Hookers-r-us ?!?

Those 2 at R87 both look like trannies.

R91 = Eddie Murphy

Sigh. The world is so wearying. We must not focus on "famous" folks any more. So lame.

^^^ Lana Del Ray ^^^

HA! Berlin deleted their HNY threads and is now "filtering" all posts. Hee! This will now end well.

GO GET THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David Diamond, one if the original and now current Berlin line-ups, posted that he was NOT at the show and did not play that gig. He states that "Not all members of Berlin play all shows".

Does it sound like he's diplomatically saying, "This was Terri's decision and I refused to play this gig "?

[Quote] HA! Berlin deleted their HNY threads and is now "filtering" all posts. Hee! This will now end well. GO GET THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On their Facebook page! GO GET THEM NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm on Taylor's fb and some are saying Kristine W is also a Trump supporter? Anyone hear of that? Wow!

Vanilla Ice? Good grief.

LAAAAAAME. I used to love Berlin. I know they've done the "I love the 80s" cruises and shit. But. This could not be more embarrassing. This is sort of career-ending. Really bad.

Oh my God. Vanilla Ice. My body can't cringe any harder. I will have to be hospitalized if I cringe any deeper. Shiver, shudder! Shit.... that is weird!

R98 yes. A few months ago some people who have worked with her for years outed her as racist and a trump supporter. Sad considering she’s been a staple on the gay scene for so long. I think there was a thread about it on DL.

haha Taylor and Terri are catching HELL from fans on their social media! LOVE IT

I hope both are banned from gay pride events henceforth. Any DLers know any of the pride organizers? They need to be made aware of these 2 and ban them. I don't want to see them in 2021 or 2022 singing how much they love the gays after this shit

Miss Lindsey must have left Mar-a-Lago right before Trump left. She spent Christmas with Trump.

By the way, Lindsey was a no-show on the vote to override the DJT veto of the Defense Authorization Act. She portrays herself as the utmost advocate and expert on defense matters. She feared voting against Trump?

She's a vile pig. She needs to get caught pants down with a rent-a-boy in public.

Teri Nunn posted on twitter RIP Dawn Wells who died of Covid and blocking everyone pouncing on her replies

In fairness, Terri and Taylor are probably barely able to pay their bills, so they need every job they can get. When I was a stripper in college, I had to grind up on old men all the time to get the big tips to pay my tuition.

R39 why was Blondie cancelled?!

OP, don’t be too shocked...many of them do this. It’s just about money. Can’t let ethics get in the way of a big check!

Sting the humanitarian.

Also piling on Taylor Dayne

Is very sad I leaved before Party because I practiced new show with the beautiful golden color Ping Pong ball and firecracker. But my Donald say we go away. So no one see my show.

“LGBTQ “has nothing to do with gay. I won’t “pile on”.

This thread is killing me. A couple of days early for NYE, but still...

[quote]Mar a lago looks like a buffet room at one of trumps failed casinos.

Does Barron speak proper English or does he have an accent like the Vairst Letty? Does it even talk?

Was Howard Stern there?

R112

Someone needs to Tweet Michael Musto about Sly and family also being at the NYE spreader event.

What, no Aaron Carter to complete the Florida deplorable line up for the evening? Disappointing!

Was Kim giving out lap dances for the horny old geezers?

I'm not surprised at Vanilla Ice but I'm very disappointed with Irving Berlin.

More info about kristine W. please. Say it aint so-I dont remember ever seeing the other thread.

Original band member Dave Diamond, who is gay, was not there

Oh no not Teri Nunn! This saddens me.

@123, I’m sad as well.

How desperate were these people? To sell their souls. No amount of money is worth that.

I know r124! I couldn't give a fuck about the Beach Boys, Vanilla Ice (please!) or Taylor Dayne but hearing Teri Nunn is a Trumper shitstain upsets me. I've always liked Berlin and she's always seemed like a really cool, liberal lady. It's a shame, and unexpected.

Terri did it for the free steak dinner.

Did they realize they were on the Titanic?

If you check Terri's twitter, she recently liked an article by Babylon Bee, a new conservative xtian satirical outlet. It was about Newsom's handling of coronavirus . I get it he deserves some criticism but her liking that article shows she's a right winger, even if she's not homophobic. I'd love to ask Terri and Taylor how they can say they love the gays while going to Mar-a-Lago. Trump was supposed to be there so they can't act disconnected from the guy especially performing at his own property

Well, fuck. Terri is dead to me now.

If you read the comments on Terri Nunn's recent posts on twitter, she's blocking everyone like Kirstie Alley.

R121 I thought it was discussed here somewhere but can’t find any threads about her.

If I’m remembering correctly Vivacious (well known NY drag queen if you’re not familiar) called her out in a Facebook post and people who have worked with KW corroborated.

Terri's feed is down! Dumb bitch!

Terri is a CUNT!!!!!!!!!!!

DRAG THAT CUNT!!!!!!!

It's still up

Doesnt come up for me.

She deleted her most recent post that hundreds of people commented on, so she's reading everything right now. Reply on her latest posts.

John Crawford was the founder,song writer, arranger and band leader of Berlin he was incredibly bitter when Terri got the rights of the band’s name and it took him years to forgive her. He recently joined Berlin (with a new album out )alongside Dave Diamond after he divorced his wife, quit his day job and grew out his hair.

Dave Diamond used to be on bigmusclebears

Berlin with special guest John Crawford before he officially rejoined the band years later.

r120 = Larry King

This was from The English Beat's Facebook page: [quote]This has taken my breath away, I am so sad that my old friend Terri Nunn did this mask less masquerade...I have no more words x

here's the conservative xtian satirical outlet bashing Newsom tweet she liked

Not Berlin ( band behind her)

Just Terri Nunn.

Sads

God damn it. I saw Terri Nunn at Summerfest in Wisconsin a few years back. She must really need $$$ . So long, loser!

Why are they always so ugly? Every single one of them has a creepy waxy plastic surgery face and they’re all crammed into four layers of spanx and skin tight clothes, and they still bulge out everywhere.

Kimberly Slutfoyle - exhibit A.

Trump would've loved allthat. But the Repugs probably said if you want us to do all this embarrassing shit you get your fat ass back to the White House.

When that country singer started singing "It burns, burns, burns..that ring of fire" I thought of Melania's chlamydia.

I thought the low point for Taylor Dayne was when I saw her guest star in a Christmas show hosted by Twisted Sister's Dee Snider.

I was wrong.

One of the most hilarious but disgusting aspects of this fucking Trump era is the parade of Z-list douchebag has-been “conservatives”, who have tried to make themselves relevant by portraying themselves as the new persecuted freedom-fighters. The Baio/ Dean Cain crowd and now this cavalcade of numbskulls. They’re pathetic but also entitled assholes with a bigger platform than the average MAGAT.

I have nothing against opposing political views, but visiting one of their Twitter accounts is to witness where reason, logic, compassion and irony go to die.

Taylor Dayne is a real POS. I guess like so many other hasbeens, she’s jumped on the conservative bandwagon for publicity.

Vanilla Ice is a successful mini-mansion flipper in Florida, has been for a while. He even parlayed that into a TV show about it for 9 seasons so far on the DIY network (DIY is in the Discovery group of networks, it's like HGTVs little sister).

He's always seemed like a cool enough guy in interviews and stuff but wouldn't be surprised if he were a Trumper. Disappointed, yes. Surprised, no.

But, maybe because he now relies on trashy Florida mini-mansion buyers for his livelihood, this appearance at a party of phonies with connections was a business move? Maybe? (I don't really care either way... I'm just bored)

I saw I saw Terri Nunn preforming a couple years ago in Orange County, Ca, thought at the time it was a strange place to pic when you have so many options in LA. Now this makes a lot of sense. Sigh.

If I am wrong and they just did this because they are strapped for cash, then this stupid move just put the final nail in the coffin. No you do not get a pass when it comes to Trump.

I always thought it was strange that Taylor Dayne has gone on FOX News more than once to promote stuff. Now we know why. Bitch.

Vanilla Ice is a grifter, not a surprise he is there. Didn't he get arrested a year ago for stealing thousands of dollars of construction equipment for a job site?

That is a pretty funny headline/pic, R142. All things considered.

I'm pro-Newsom for the most part but that's still funny.

PS, I clicked that tweet and found out Terri Nunn only has 9000 followers on twitter.

[quote]Taylor performed at our big gay club back in the day and everyone who worked there said she was a grade-A bitch. This doesn’t surprise me after witnessing her behavior that night.

I always preferred Anastacia over Taylor Dayne anyway.

R151 Why the fuck are you disappointed that Vanilla Ice is a Trump fan? Vanilla Ice???

I’m disappointed in Berlin. Their cofounder, John Crawford (bassist) is a huge born-again Christian nut, but I didn’t think they would go as low as to play at Mar a Lago. David Diamond (guitarist) is an out gay man. They just toured with The B-52s a couple years ago. I am so disappointed in them.

I'm disappointed when ANYONE is a Trump supporter, R157. Any human at all. It's disappointing.

It wasn't the whole Berlin band, R158.

Another commenter noted David Diamond posted somewhere that he was not at that show. It's possible it was only Terri Nunn performing as I think she "owns" the Berlin name.

Kunite Alley is probably angry she wasn’t invited to be the MC or something. They might have been afraid she would eat all the food.

R87, that’s Matt Gaetz’s supposedly 26 year-old fiancé on his right. She looks about 40.

Well, they raised a lot of money for Trump's fight to reclaim the White Hiuse. It's his legal right to do so!

I believe John Crawford left the church after he divorced his xtian wife. He used to leave the stage when Berlin played “Sex (I’m a) or covers songs like “Highway to Hell” when he was invited for a guest performances but now he play them.

Vanilla Ice has a steady paycheck. Not just the flipping, but his show pays well too, they don't make minimum wage. Dane just did "The Masked Singer" and that's a great check too, like "DWTS", it pays well so the great need for a paycheck doesn't really wash here. They wanted to be there.

After Vanilla Ice's downfall in the mid 90s he tried to kill himself. He then met a born again Christian girlfriend & the next thing he was doing was popping up on The 700 Club with Pat Robertson before the 90s was over. He is probably a right wing Christian due to his girlfriend's (I believe now wife) influence. He also has done the Apprentice with Trump (if memory serves) so he has several reasons to show up there.

[quote]PS, I clicked that tweet and found out Terri Nunn only has 9000 followers on twitter.

I wonder how many she had yesterday.

"Take my breath away". Really? In the Covid world? Either no self consciousness or intentionally defiant.

"Play that funky music white boy" with Don Jr singing alone. After a summer of BLM demonstrations. Intentional sending a message.

This is so gold!!!!! OMG hell its Platinum!!!!

Here is Berlin at the folsom st fair in sf.

R78 Al Jardine puts on a damn good show, with or without Brian.

The wedding singer Elton John is responsible for all of this.

Performing for Trump is humiliating enough. But being rejected by HIM and having to make Kimberly Gargoyle dance instead? These people have absolutely no dignity.

These people will NEVER be able to wash the Trump stink off of them.

Attendees were ugly, nasty old men with some sketchy wealth, dragging along with them their bimbo 2nd, 3rd, or 4th wives; each gold-digging, generationally younger, with long stringy, plugged hair, breast implants, and yearning for Trump to be there to grab their pussies.

Berlin? That's disappointing to hear.

DL thread where Michel Must exposes racist Deplorable, Kristine W.

Who is Kristine W? A lot of these characters are a little hazy to me, not having been in the public eye for so long.

Great talent! Reminds me of the Reagan years! We don’t need those newfangled Marxist singers! So glad no one wore those stupid masks either!

"Berlin' played the California state fair in 2018.

Fitting that has-beens played at the party of one of the biggest losers in history. Sorry, meant bigly losers.

How did the singers end up with the trademark name for these groups?

In R87's picture, Matt Gaetz looks scared to death to be that close to breasts.....even those fake ones.

He must have run to Nestor right after and sobbed into his chest about how close he had to get to the scary boobies.

That picture made me literally shudder. They’re so trashy and evil looking. If his fiancée is 26 (or a bio woman for that matter), I’m a snow leopard.

Taylor Dayne is "saddened" by all the criticism she's received.

[quote]I’m saddened by all this. I have a 30 yr careers s that many diverse friendships .and I try to stay non political and non judgmental and not preach . I sing from my heart purely and from Source. I wish for all to be who they need to be .. and find their way

So she tries to be non political by performing at an event that was supposed to be for the President?

She is a fucking idiot. Now I don’t feel so bad that Clive Davis basically ended her career. She is an entitled cunt who thinks she can excuse this under the guise of “I’m just a singer”.

Fuck her.

Has defended Teri, Taylor, and the rest yet?

He is Conservative and hates gay men, even though he only masturbates about white men who don't want him.

Just a singer? You’re singing to a bunch of wannabe dictators who are trying to overturn the results of a democratic election. Next.

Good Lord. Couldn't they get any entertainment from this Century?! Pathetic.

No money in the world is worth performing for these pigs. After all that Trump has put this country through. The lying, the Covid denying that’s led to massive deaths, the corruption, the just being the biggest asshole in the world 24 7. Taylor, Terri all of them can go fuck themselves. I’d sooner live on the street than to give these vulgarians the time of day.

[quote]Just a singer? You’re singing to a bunch of wannabe dictators who are trying to overturn the results of a democratic election. Next.

AND who ignored, than lied about a deadly disease causing the deaths of thousands of Americans and appearing at a no mask function. Fuck you.

Long Island trash.

Leslie Wunderman being a Trumpist doesn't shock me - hacks gotta hack - but Teri Nunn used to have an occasional column in High Times.

She's as dead as their career was post-Like Flames.

Let's not forget Elton John playing at one of Rush Limbaugh's weddings. Whores gonna whore.

[quote] AND who ignored, than lied

Oh, dear!

Taylor is being eviscerated online.

90’s/00’s dance diva Amber is not having her excuses.

She's now taken down her 'I'm saddened' post and everyone's piling in on her last Christmas post. Keep it going. More than any of the others she built her career on our backs.

[quote] Better to be a has-been than a never-was...or not.

Yes, Mr. Vanilla Ice.

Vanilla Ice has been doing shows in town bars and night clubs off and own for many years. It has been decades since he has been a major concert feature.

A Trump venue seems a fit for him.

Robert Van Winkle is a great fit for the Republicans. He's an admitted drug dealer, got in trouble for tax evasion, was arrested for theft on his worksites, and offers society nothing more than his self importance.

Taylor will be playing tiny bars from now on. Do you think she and Berlin read the DL? Maybe someone should link it to them.

Love that hashing from Amber: #TellItToYOURHeartIfYouHaveOne

Sounds like the entire Trump clan in a nutshell, R200.

Are we really surprised about Taylor Dayne? She’s from Long Island, is a white woman almost 60, and a has been.

They all think they're on the campaign trail for 2024. Trump is going to be so irrelevant so fast; nobody likes a fat old failure. But he'll keep tweeting like he's thisclose to a 2nd term.

I love that gay fans are letting Taylor and Terri have it. I don't care if it was about the money or the "bragging rights" of performing at a president's party. This is something that will permanently stain their reputations

I love that gay fans are letting Taylor and Terri have it. I don't care if it was about the money or the "bragging rights" of performing at a president's party. This is something that will permanently stain their reputations

I truly despise Vanilla Ice now. HOWEVER, from a physical standpoint. He has the most handsome face of any man I have ever seen. His eyes are spaced so far apart that he looks like a handsome alien. How has this white guy aged like that?? Did he never go out in the sun? From a genetic standpoint I do wonder what his heritage is. He is stunning looking. Yet now, he is clearly DISGUSTING. And his "music" was always dated trash.

[quote] Taylor Dayne doing this is actually really horrible and heartbreaking. She has revealed herself as a complete fraud. This is why I am always wary of these performers at Pride events because for some (not all) it's a cash cow. They don't care about their gay fans.

Two things: (1) Trump LOST the election so they are not supporting him. (2) These performers have been unable to work regularly for almost a year. They do need to eat and pay the mortgage.

Well, just smell how forgiving r209 is!

R209 is T. Dane

None of them is relevant. Who cares.

[quote]None of them is relevant

ARE relevant. And you're wrong.

While her career dried up years back, Taylor has been a HUGE draw on the gay club and pride parade circuit. They released the thirtieth anniversary of the Tell it to My Heart Album last year. Which makes this decision all the more baffling.

I get performers have bills to pay, but she had to have known going into this that there was going to be a shitstorm if people found out. This was truly dumb on her part.

I guess it was either that or give Hankins for food stamps. Has been a can’t be choosy.

Hanjobs not Hankins

R209 well look who's all concerned about Taylor Dayne's mortgage

Taylor Dayne did NOT perform. She attended as a guest, which is even more sickening. Do you think she anted up the 1000 ticket price?

Have any of these entertainers been to any Biden/Obama/Clinton parties over the years?

Try again R217. She even made social media posts about performing that night, although she coyly did not disclose where.

Sorry R209 you perform at a party at someone’s private club full of that person’s family and supporters, you are showing support for them, whether you actively announce it or not.

R208 Leave it to DL to slobber over a deplorable straight guy. Why even bring up his “looks”?

Taylor Dayne deleted her "I'm saddened..." tweet she posted earlier today because the hundreds of replies were all negative

Taylor and Berlin ARE CUNTS! GREASE FIRE TO THEM!

Didn’t expect that from Teri Nunn. Dead to me.

TAYLOR WAS A GUEST??????????? Jesus CUNT. She was 1/2 of Tig Notaro's act 7 years ago or so. FUCK THIS HAS BEEN 1989 CUNT FROM HELL!!!!!!!!!!

FUCK HER.

I despise her more than Bananafuckingrama.

And to NUNN and her CUNT BAG band members.

It's gonna be a CRUEL SUMMER, HUNTIES.

How dumb can you be to piss off the only fan base (the gay fan base) you had left when your career hit the skids? Good luck now dumbasses!

She performed, took pics with Rudy, and with those vacuous, vapid, Republicunts.

I don't know which is more offensive to me, that she performed and mingled with these people or that she thought she would receive no blowback from this. Did she not remember Chrisette Michele, whose career ended when she performed at the inauguration and that was four years ago?! Or Shania Twain being eviscerated online when she admitted in an interview she would have voted for Trump - she didn't even perform for him.

R226- Who is SHE? Nunn or Taylor?

Van Winkle was determined years ago to abuse what was good looks.

Not defending any decision but I don't understand the insult. He has lost. He is a loser. These are not people of influence. They are not supporting Trump by taking his money. There is little to forgive.

Now if Terri or Taylor started spouting some "all lives matter" bullsh*t THEN we will have a problem.

Ya’ll are gonna keep learning the hard way that just because some female entertainer says they love “the gays” it doesn’t really mean shit. They say that because they know gay men are so gullible and will support them when all the other fans have moved on. They only give a shit about keeping the money coming in. Quit being so loyal to these female entertainers (or any entertainer for that matter) unless they have gone above and beyond to show their loyalty to the gay community. Showing up at a gay pride event or gay club and doing a performance they got paid for doesn’t count.

Terri is such a wild, sexuality liberated, charismatic and energetic woman . I wonder who she married to that must gave influence her to do this?

Jennifer Holliday was going to perform at Trump's inauguration but pulled out saying she thought it was an honor.

Taylor r227.

Taylor r227.

Hate on Vanilla all you want ,but the bastard looks fantastic for 53 and still is sexy as fuck . Im not excusing his actions,merely separating the man from the singer. Legend has it too that he is super hung . We all know on DL that trumps ALL !

R234- Give me a BREAK. I am serious! You mean Taylor Dayne?? I already thought she was disgusting enough. But if she took pictures with Giuliani, she can truly die in a grease fire. I was dead serious in my question. Both Dayne and Nunn are human garbage, regardless.

R235- Agreed on his looks. He is striking looking. Incredible looking man. But it ends there.

[quote] Jennifer Holliday was going to perform at Trump's inauguration but pulled out saying she thought it was an honor.

The inauguration was different. It WAS supporting Trump and his repugnant 'vision' for America. Also, we weren't in the middle of a pandemic where performers were without other options to make money.

The NYE party was a private event. He didn't even attend it. They were offered an obscene amount of money after 10 months of being unable to pursue their livelihood.

r231 is the reason the question "Huh?" was invented.

How much were they paid?

Can we just not , for one second ,remember the glory of this amazing song and mourn the loss of one of my favorite bands of the 80s ? Im sure Im not the only one who loved Berlin.

R238 he was going to be there up until the day before so yes their presence was supporting him. Stop making excuses for them partying with deplorables.

Obscene amount of money? Oh my sides.

This is trump we’re taking about. They’ll probably never get paid like everyone else he stiffs.

Fuck them both. I want my 9.99 back I spent on their cassettes.

Who's this retard who doesn't get it? So what if Trump lost? Have you not heard how they are trying to turn over election results and, at the very least, delegitimize and continue to divide Anericans? You think there's no harm in any of that? How about the past four years--were you awake for ANY of that? Those people who supported all that nonsense abd hatred and irresponsibility--and want more of it--were the very people in attendance. Those faded stars aligned themselves with them. Go apologize on their behalf elsewhere.

Madonna's career was totally on point until the tone deaf Sex book. Dragging the never-cool literal one-hit wonder Vanilla Ice into her "slutty package" (his words) is one of many reasons why it was such a major misstep.

Isn't Taylor Dayne a lesbian or am I thinking of another washed-up late 80s/early 90s singer?

Jennifer Holliday has performed for every President since Reagan. She accepted the offer out of respect for the office of the Presidency, and really had no idea about Dump. But she did say no, because her intent wasn't to side with bigotry and hate.

I'd love to know when Saturday Night Live is going to get held accountable for normalizing Trump. It gave a major boost to his campaign and solidified him as a candidate to take seriously. And this was after he called Mexicans rapists.

You also have to go back and look at how Trump was given a pass by the media after his homophobic attacks on Rosie O Donnell. How many late night TV talk hosts had him out to spout his hate, and laughed alongside him? There were a couple.

Oh my god. Shit. I cannot stop laughing. In my mind I confused "Berlin" with Bananarama. lollllllll

FUCK Teri Nunn, "Top Gun", her one hit "Take My Breath Away".

I thought the Cruel Summer gals sang at Trump's show.

I feel so much better now.

Take my breath away, fucking cunt. Disgusting. Shocked that this dump a band still exists. Go fuck yourselves into 1986, bitches.

R247 that's such crap. She pulled out when there was this gigantic uproar. And she never performed at any inauguration nor will she ever. Holliday's original statement sounds strangely like Dayne's. “I’m singing on the Mall for the people,” Holliday told the New York Times then. “I don’t have a dog in this fight. I’m just a singer, and it’s a welcome concert for the people on the Mall.”

Oh! Sorry Bananarama- Godspeed! Wherever you are!!!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Who'd Terri fuck to get her version into the movie (certainly not Tommy)?

I adore the Motels , but Terri did it better . Just saying.

wtf more low DL standards. Vanilla Ice is just OK looking. In his younger days he wasn't stunning. He's aged OK now but nothing amazing. Even without the deplorable mindset he's not hot

r240. That’s my question. As I have no idea whatsoever - what would a D lister get for a couple of songs on New Year’s eve? 20-30G?

R253- Come on. He is stunning looking. Almost alien like. Hot man. And a piece of shit. It happens.

We get it, r255, you're into aliens....

R255 no he's not stunning. If you want an example of a stunning piece of shit, I'd say Antonio Sabato Jr. Gorgeous face and body but despicable for aligning with Trump and unsuccessfully running for congress.

Vanilla Ice is just OK looking piece of shit

WTF is wrong with people like this. How can she fall for Trumpish nonsense, and be so irresponsible as to play a maskless super-spreader event?

Between "Take My Breath Away" and "Play That Funky Music Till You Die", the musical selections were a little on-the-nose, don't you think?

John Crawford of Berlin was the epitome of hot twink in 1983, as illustrated by the "Sex" video.

Now a fat, Bible-beating dad.

Sad.

[quote] Legend has it too that he is super hung . We all know on DL that trumps ALL !

You’re assuming he can still get it up.

[quote] Please tell me these idiot entertainers got paid up front.

Please tell me they didn’t.

Also that Jackie Evanko singer performed at Trump's 2017 inaug.

I don't see the problem.

R213, “none” is singular. So it’s “is”.

[quote]DL fave Taylor Dayne was in the house.

Massively disappointing. R13 is right, never invite her to a gay event again.

[quote] [R213], “none” is singular. So it’s “is”.

Oh, dear! Don’t quit your day job, r265 (unless your day job is an English teacher.)

[quote]Two things: (1) Trump LOST the election so they are not supporting him. (2) These performers have been unable to work regularly for almost a year. They do need to eat and pay the mortgage.

1. Trump and his supporters disagree with that and think he won, so preforming at his events is supporting his conspiracy theories and also I might add un-American.

2. These performers should have saved their money, millions of people are suffering, going without food and dying in hospitalssaying their last good by to loved ones on iPads, I really dont care about performers with million dollar mortgages do you?

[quote] “None” can be either singular or plural, dear.

"None" is singular when it means "no one" or "not one." Thus, "None of them is relevant" is correct (as in "Not one of them is relevant").

"None" is plural when it means "no two" or "not any."

Jennifer Holliday was going to perform at Trump's inauguration

Yes, she played for all the other presidents, but this decision made me lose respect and interest in her. The only reason she didn't perform was the backlash. Not a moral choice (Same reason Bocelli backed out.) So there already was a playbook for Teri and Taylor to follow. They didn't.

Nunn liked Trump’s tweet about Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren.

gunts!!!!!!

[quote]Please tell me these idiot entertainers got paid up front

For playing a Trump event??

The check is in the mail. The USPS has been gutted. It is what it is.

[quote] Nunn liked Trump’s tweet about Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren.

Scum. And, on the other hand, she follows all these LGBT accounts as well as Obama. Just goes to show you: some people are very good at perception management. But, in the end, they show you their true face.

R271 wow disgraceful. Glad she showed her true colors though. Hopefully no gay events book her again either

Where were Chachi and Kid Rock? Not to mention fellow pussy grabber "The Nuge"!

[quote] 2. These performers should have saved their money, millions of people are suffering, going without food and dying in hospitals saying their last good by to loved ones on iPads, I really dont care about performers with million dollar mortgages do you?

R268, I wouldn't expect the hospitality crew, waitstaff, bellhops, housekeepers, landscapers or security at that place to forfeit their jobs to placate me. I hate Trump as much, likely more, than anyone but I don't begrudge anyone the opportunity to work in these uncertain times. Please remember that the ability to participate in an economic boycott based on politics is a privilege -- and requires economic power. Some people cannot afford to forgo work because they hate Trump. Trump was defeated by 81 million Americans who voted him out of office.

Taylor Dayne plays those freestyle and retro-80s trunk shows. She is not balling. I hate that she performed at this event but I choose to believe she did it strictly because she needed the money. I've no reason to believe otherwise.

r277 if Taylor Dayne needs the money she would be in a better karmic position if she sold her body than performed for Trump.

As a popular singer, Taylor can find other bookings and has more than a few options. While Covid has reduced these, they’re still out there. It’s a big world. There is no excuse for playing for these pigs. None.

"Popular singer"? She is not Adele. Her last hit was 30 years ago. The only folks offering gigs and risking mass gatherings right now are crazy Trumptard nutjobs. You do your 40 minute set, take your check and go home. This is what COVID has wrought.

She was actually on an upswing because of her appearance on Masked Singer but this took care of that.

I think we've just discovered a new circle of hell. Looks excruciating.

These has-beens needed gig . I dont take it against them.

Good for you: retard, plant, r83...most do.

R280 she is a Grammy nominee and has name recognition. Enough to parlay it into some cash. Of course I know it been awhile since she’s had a hit. She’s not Adele, but not exactly unknown either. There are other options for her, and not just singing live for fucktard Republicans.

R284? Are you off your meds?

No? You might want to get some.

Nope, you forgot yours r286.

Time for lockdown, r286.

So. . .you're okay with them performing for Trump?

I'm not the one needing help here, moron.

R280, she's popular enough she could have found another booking on NYE. A casino, if nothing else.

the backlash is continuing!

gay fans aren't letting up lol I love it

Terri evidently thinks her gay fans are stupid. 1) Everyone knows what a shitshow Florida is. 2) You performed for MAR-A-LAGO. That is command central for trump supporters.

Apology not accepted. Maybe donate what you were paid to an LGBTQ charity and get back to us.

Also to add to the post, 3) I didn't see a single photo of her wearing a mask, so if she was so concerned about it, why wasn't she wearing one?

There is no doubt that all three of these has-beens knew exactly who they were playing for.

That apology from Nunn must be satire.

She’s so full of shit. Trying to back track with all this. Shocked at Florida and the response to Covid? It’s been ground zero for the imbeciles of this country and their denying science. Please Terri. We are not stupid.

Look how captivating and electric Terri’s performance is in this concert! It saddens me to see her stoop so low for money.

r172 Elton gave all the money ($1 million) to his charity. He only needed to play a few songs. Felt it would do more good to do the work, take the money and give it to HIV patients in need than to say no so that people like you wouldn't shit on him 15 years later.

So he promoted & sanctioned the Republican Party which consistently uses gay people as their scapegoat. And is now responsible for the death 💀 of 400,000 Americans. Go Elton!

Who are the fools who paid to be at the loser's ball? With bonus coronavirus!

R299 Along with their mountain ⛰ of daily crimes! Bush/Cheney/Trump & the Emoluments Clause. The Rich get filthy richer and the poor get sick & die!

R300 well for starters the lady who posted photos and videos of all the performers on her instagram and led to Taylor Dayne being exposed (since Taylor lied on her social media by saying she'd be performing in West Palm Beach on NYE ) is some realtor lady. Clearly she wanted to make more rich repub connections

R302 Liars get cancer. Doesn't Taylor know that yet?

Has Vanilla Ice issued any responses on this matter?

No one cares enough about Ice to be outraged.

This is more attention Vanilla Ice has gotten in ages, so he probably loves it... And I have no idea what "Berlin" is...

I’ve never seen this before. Hilarious.

Hey Taylor sing us a song for Capitol Hill!

Horrible voice. She sounds like a squealing cat.
