Rebels roll cutout of rebellious royal
Prince Harry has become a poster boy for the UNLV Rebels basketball program.
A 6-foot-high cardboard cutout of the shirtless prince popped up at UNLV's season opener against Northern Arizona on Monday at Thomas & Mack Center.
The rebellious royal was the perfect pick to join the latest batch of cutouts known as Fatheads.
They have become fixtures in the Rebels student section, which has been nicknamed The Rebellion.
Prince Harry was shown holding at his waist a sign with the words: The Rebellion.
His buck-naked billiards in one of Steve Wynn's VIP suites last August generated worldwide publicity for the Las Vegas party scene.
Other Fatheads rolled out for the opener included Celine Dion and Bryce Harper, the Las Vegas sensation who won National League Rookie of the Year honors Monday.
