Getting Banned in Vegas - Linda Ronstadt
Clean-cut Linda Ronstadt would seem to be the last person to get ousted from Sin City, but indeed she was. The grounds: during one of her shows, she dedicated a performance of her hit song, "Desperado" (originally by the Eagles), to radical leftist author and documentarian Michael Moore. While this gesture, considering the lyrics of the song, was probably tongue-in-cheek, the conservative local business-owners didn't find it funny, so they banned her.

His Girth - Luciano Pavarotti
Aside from his incredible range, which catapulted this tenor into operatic super-stardom in the first place, Pavarotti is probably best remembered for his bulging belly, which became increasingly noticeable by the '90s. His inability to lose weight became the butt of numerous jokes, including self-mocking ones. In reality though, his obesity limited his mobility around stages and lead to health complications.
