The King is Dead But Rumours Still Abound!

Maybe there’s some truth in the words of Kirsty McColl’s 1981 single, which states, There’s a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He’s Elvis, because now rumours are emerging that The King, Elvis Presley, did in fact make a visit to England in 1958 when he teamed up with Half a Sixpence star, Tommy Steele on a whistle stop tour of London‘s most famous sights.

However, a spokesman for Elvis Presley Enterprises in Memphis, Tennessee, denied the secret trip ever took place, and insisted that the only time Elvis was on British soil was when he was returning to the U.S. to wrap up an army tour.

But theatre impresario Bill Kenwright insists Elvis flew to London for a day’s sightseeing.

Tommy, now 71, said in a written note to London’s Daily Mail that he wished the secret had never come out. “I can only hope he can forgive me,” he said of Presley, who died in 1977 at the age of 42. “It was an event shared by two young men sharing the same love of their music and the same thrill of achieving something unimaginable.”

Lisa Marie Presley, Eating for Three?

Looking more like Mama Cass of the Mamas and the Papas than the daughter of the most beautiful couple in Hollywood during the 1960’s, Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley was out on the town with not only her baby bump but her husband, Michael Lockwood, when they enjoyed a romantic night, doubtless with copious amounts of food!

Rumoured to be expecting twins (and for her sake lest hope that’s not all one baby as she isn’t due to deliver until late August) Lisa was all for a comfortable night out wearing her extremely loose fitting black tent, and more comfortable than fashionable, black flip flops.

This will be Lisa’s third child from her fourth husband. She already has Riley, 18, and Ben, 15, from her first marriage to Danny Keough and her marriages to Nicholas Cage and Michael Jackson never produced children, which is probably best for all concerned in the case of Jackson!

In an interview with OK! Magazine Presley revealed that she is experiencing cravings. For fruit!

Lisa Marie said, “Fruit — it’s boring but that’s what I want. Any fruit: fruit smoothie, fruit juice — it’s good!”

So where is all that weight coming from?

Guess we’ll see her promoting Jenny Craig in early 2009.
