Marie Osmond Fires Manager
Las Vegas Strip headliner Marie Osmond, half of the Donny & Marie Osmond show at the Flamingo resort, dumped her longtime manager, P. Karl Engemann, late last month. According to Norm Clark of the Las Vegas Review Journal, the 79 year-old Engemann has been Marie Osmond's manager for the last 35 years until October 23rd when he was informed his services would no longer be needed.
Engemann seeks to collect $88,000 in back commissions from Marie Osmond. It is reported the two Osmonds receive $125,000 each per show at the Flamingo through 2010 and the deal will probably be extended through 2012.
P. Karl Engemann's daughter, Shawn, is the current wife of CNN's Larry King, the same Larry King that ambushed Marie Osmond on his show when he asked about her son going into rehab.
