Illusionist Horn mauled
by tiger during show
BY ADAM GOLDMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Roy Horn, the il
lusionist of the Siegfried & Roy
duo who was mauled by one of his
tigers during a show, was able to
communicate with doctors but
still in critical condition and on a
ventilator Sunday.
The mauling could mean the
end of one of the Las Vegas Strip’s
most popular shows. Officials said
that even if Horn recovers it’s un
clear whether he would ever be
able to perform again in the rigor
ous show.
MGM Mirage officials said
Sunday that it might take anoth
er day or two before doctors have a
prognosis for Horn, who was bit
ten in the neck and dragged off
stage. The performer underwent
surgery late Friday and Saturday
at University Medical Center.
“There has been no change in
his status, which quite frankly is
good news,” Mirage spokesman
Alan Feldman said Sunday morn
ing. “Considering the trauma he
has been through, no change in his
status is a good place to be.”
Horn, 59, was heavily sedated
but able to respond to voices and
touch, MGM Mirage Resort chief
executive Bobby Baldwin said.
“We are guarded, optimistic,”
Baldwin said late Saturday night
outside the hospital. “We are
pleased the news isn’t worse than
it is.”
It was halfway during a Friday
night performance at The Mirage
hotel-casino that Horn appeared
alone on stage with a 7-year-old,
600-pound white tiger named
Montecore.
Horn told the tiger to lie down.
When it refused, Horn tapped the
cat on the nose with a microphone
to get its attention. The animal
grabbed at Horn’s arm, causing
the entertainer to stumble.
The tiger then lunged at Horn,
who tried to beat the animal away
with the microphone. Audience
members said the tiger dragged
Horn off the stage by the neck. The
attack barely missed severing
Horn’s carotid artery.
Horn and longtime partner
Siegfried Fischbacher have been
a Las Vegas Strip staple for years,
performing their magic show to
sold-out crowds. The shows, with
their signature white tigers and li
ons, are among the best known
and most expensive on the Strip.
“For more than four decades, I
have had the great privilege of
standing at the side of this re
markable man, and I will contin
ue to do so during this very chal
lenging time,” Fischbacher said
in a statement Saturday.
Feldman said late Saturday the
show was closed indefinitely.
Siegfried and Roy signed a life
time contract with The Mirage in
2001. The German-born pair per
form six shows a week, 44 weeks
per year and have been onstage in
Las Vegas for more than 35 years.
Ted Nugent enters world of reality TV
BY MIKE HOUSEHOLDER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — They were shot with
paintballs, slept in a barn, con
structed their own outhouse and
skinned a Russian boar.
Is all of this worth $25,000 and
a truck?
Evidently so for the seven peo
ple who signed up for “Surviving
Nugent,” a two-hour reality pro
gram that airs Sunday night on
VH1.
Ted Nugent, the outspoken
roctker and outdoors enthusiast,
challenges the contestants to live
off the land in his rural compound
near Jackson, about 70 miles west
ofDetroit.
The contestants are eliminated
one by one as the Motor City
Madman sees fit. The last one stand
ing wins the loot and the vehicle.
Along for the ride are Nugent’s
wife, Shemane, son, Rocco, and his
“blood brother,” Big Jim, who
drives the eliminated contestants
down a dirt road in a pickup truck.
“We’re showing off our self-suf
ficient, Neanderthal lifestyle,”
Nugent, 54, told The Associated
Press. t‘If you can’t derive some
entertainment from that, you’re
weird.”
“Surviving Nugent” is sched
uled for one airing, but VH1 might
make it an ongoing series, said
Rob Weiss, head of East Coast pro
gramming and development for
the channel.
Nugent’s no stranger to televi
sion - he’s has appeared on “Miami
Vice” and “That 70’s Show.”
“I would like to think that if they
can edit this, conveying the humor
and the tension and drama we felt,
it will be successful,” he said. “I
think I’m just goofy enough and the
contestants tried hard enough, that
it’s got be entertaining.”

HOROSCOPES
ARIES A technological advance
is wonderful, but it also brings
a bigger mess for you to clean
up. Proceed with caution and
follow the directions.
TAURUS Friends may be
excited about something that's
on sale, or some other way to
spend your money. You can
still love them dearly without
taking their advice.
GEMINI It might be best to keep
your newest theory to yourself.
Don't forget it; just don’t seek
publicity till the bugs are
worked out.
CANCER It could be hard to get
away to be with a dear friend.
Don't get yourself into more of
a jam — call or drop a note if
you can't visit yet.
LEO You're generous to a fault,
but with a loved one it really
isn't necessary. You're valued
for who you are, not for what
you can provide.
VIRGO You're excellent at
helping others set priorities.
That's good, because they need
you again. Look for ways you
can help.
LIBRA Your creative talents
may be stymied by a lack of
education. Don't make
expensive mistakes. Get an
experienced tutor to help you
practice the skills you need.
SCORPIO You should be able to
relax a little with someone you
love. An energetic game would
be a great way to let off steam.
SAGITTARIUS Take it easy for a
little while. Don't push too
hard. You could break
something that's precious and
fragile.
CAPRICORN What you already
knew may clash with
something you're being taught.
Do you need to protect yourself
against new ways of seeing?
Not always.
AQUARIUS Turn down a
chance to participate in a game
that you can't afford. Your time
and money is better spent
working toward building a
secure future.
PISCES You may be feeling
tough enough to stand up to a
stem taskmaster. First, make
sure you're right. Go over the
data again.
