“There are fewer dates this year due to the fact that Lenny is angry at me for making this the final season of Rescue Me – plus I didn’t get him a part in either Spider-Man 4 or Ice Age 4. He’s also afraid he’ll eat himself back to his full fatness if we’re out on the road all summer (Kenny and Adam had good money on him hitting 300 pounds by late August). But it will be a pleasure to raise money for America’s firefighters as well as watch the look on Lenny’s face when he finds out Kenny’s playing Spider-Man’s lawyer and Adam’s voicing Paul The Penguin – Diego’s new best friend.”–Denis Leary
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Leary Firefighters Foundation. The Leary Firefighters Foundation was established in 2000 in response to a tragic fire in Worcester, Massachusetts that claimed the lives of Denis’ cousin, a childhood friend and four other firefighters. The Leary Firefighters Foundation’s mission is to provide funding and resources for Fire Departments to obtain the best available equipment, technology and training.

Season nine American Idol star to perform in The Shops at Mohegan Sun on Friday, May 20th
Mohegan Sun’s Reality Check returns on Friday, May 20th with the incredibly gifted singer Siobhan Magnus of American Idol’s season nine. The performance kicks off at 7:00pm followed by a signing event at 7:45pm. This free and exclusive event will take place in The Shops at Mohegan Sun.
ABOUT S SIOBHAN MAGNUS
Best known as a finalist on the ninth (2010) season of American Idol, Siobhan Magnus is far from the cookie cutter Pop diva some may associate with such shows. One look and half a listen of her incredible vocal ability will tell you she has got more than you bargained for. She gained widespread appeal as one of the most talented and artistic contestants during her rise on the hit reality TV show. The future is bright as well, as she is currently working on her first solo album, expected this fall, although fans won’t have to wait long to hear new material as Magnus plans to release a few singles through iTunes as early as May.
ABOUT REALITY CHECK
Presented by The Shops at Mohegan Sun, Reality Check is an exciting and interactive event that brings the best and brightest stars from the reality TV world to Mohegan Sun. Mohegan Sun’s Reality Check events provide fans with the ultimate exposure to their favorite reality stars with engaging, live exhibitions in The Shops at Mohegan Sun followed by intimate signing events.
