Shaquille O’Neal – PAPARAZZO

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles aren't the only ones going head-to-head in New Orleans this weekend. Jeff Beacher and Shaquille O'Neal's over-the-top fun houses will also face off. And before the nightlife showdown, Beacher is accusing O'Neal of jocking his style. The Los Angeles club guru launched his vaudeville show in 2002 at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, and the blend of theater, comedy, and performance art eventually became a West Coast favorite populated by regulars like Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, and Demi Lovato. Shaq allegedly visited in 2012 and launched his own "Shaq's Funhouse" in 2018, which Beacher says was a direct replica of his "magnum opus." "He walked into 'Madhouse' and he loved it!" Beacher told Page Six this week. "So much he copied the 'Madhouse!' I inspired him." Now the parties will battle it out over Super Bowl weekend when they both bring their pop-ups to Louisiana. Shaq's 7th annual "Shaq's Funhouse" will take place on Feb. 7 and is billed as an "all-inclusive, open-to-the-public event" that is "part carnival, part music festival and will celebrate the flair of New Orleans." A New Orleans brass band dubbed Shaq-A-Licious will hype up the crowd while rapper Ludacris, John Summit, and "the big man himself, DJ Diesel aka Shaq," will headline. "As an LSU alum, Louisiana is like a second home to me," Shaq said in a press release announcing the big bash. "So it's only fitting that my next homecoming is a part of the citywide celebration for Big Game Weekend... For the seventh annual Fun House, we're bringing the best music, the wildest carnival rides, and a party fans won't forget - it's going to be legendary!" Beacher told us he has nothing but respect for the basketball legend. "I love Shaq and what he created, but there's nothing like the original. The Madhouse came first," Beacher said. Beacher's "Madhouse" pop-up is a two-night event, with his "Roastmaster General" pal Jeff Ross headlining an intimate "Roasts NOLA" show at Republic on Friday. It will be a "full Beacher's Madhouse on Saturday," Beacher explained. Cardi B is headlining and "dozens of celebs" are expected.
