Guess who might be coming to town? Yes, the venerable and sometimes controversial Michael Gerard Tyson! As the rumor mills have it, Iron Mike has been invited to be a guest at a new club in Shanghai. I have no idea what this new club is or where it is other than “in Shanghai”. It has been mentioned that this club will open “soon”. Whether soon means next week, or in a few months is unclear.
This club is apparently owned by some bigwigs in Los Angeles that own a lot of the clubs over there. Apparently they want to do something similar to that over here. It seems they want to have regular celebrity guests making the Shanghai trip. There have been mentions of Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, even Eddie Murphy.
Out of all the celebrities out there, why would they choose Tyson? Who knows, maybe George Bush will be the next guest? Anyhow, we have to wait and see until we get more details.
[...] Just after planetkarl.com got the info about Tyson’s proposed visit, I came across this interesting article over at Shanghaiist. Apparently Shanghai is full of celebrities these days. The Rolling Stones are set for a tour date in Shanghai as mentioned in this site. The site has their tour date in Shanghai set at February 2nd, but since it is now February 4th, that date is probably going to be moved forward. [...]
