Bette Midler got crazy applause at PURE nightclub, after her first Vegas performance at Caesars Palace.
Lance Bass and boyfriend Leo, Siegfried & Roy mingled with the ridiculously-straight Dog Chapman and wife Beth. Midler was applauded as the diva made her way into the club.
Federal agents raided PURE earlier in the day. The IRS has some questions about ever-pesky taxes the club may or may not have paid.

5. Why is TMZ so stupid? What does "ridiculously straight" mean? Most of us are "straight," as homosexuals are in a very low minority of the population. Are you saying that most of the people who read your gossipy, inept blog are ridiculous? I think you are ridiculous for the nonsense you write.

8. Dog the bounty hunter was at the same function as Sigfried and Roy? He was probably there undercover to apprehend them for banana smuggling. Or, turd burgling. Or, butt piracy........I give up, this is too easy a mark.
