Terry Fator makes a lot of money as the master behind a string of
colorful, entertaining puppets who croon standards nightly at the
Mirage. But was the singing ventriloquist himself nothing more
than a dummy, controlled by his ex-wife and so-called “handlers”
who hijacked his career following his triumph on “America’s Got
Talent”? That’s pretty much what he tells us this week in a
stunningly candid interview that paints his former wife of 18
years as a self-aggrandizing, hen-pecking shrew who alienated him
from his family and refused to bear him children. Melinda Fator,
not surprisingly, has a different version of the story, and she
gets her say, too. Also, the performer outs Barry Manilow.

In Banter: Caesars wants to soak tourists for an arena, NV may
nix its smoking ban, the FAA is silent about the Ferris Wheel,
the hosts baffle over who the &*#@ attends pro soccer and
more.
