All:
Visited Myrna Sunday, she is back at Canyon Oaks, same room (address below). Thanks for all the great cards you keep sending, there were quite a lot to read to Myrna & I know it really helps her to know how many people love her & care about her. We read all of the cards to Myrna & show them to her. There were some pretty yellow flowers from fans in Belgium - thank you. Myrna sleeps much of the time & needs a lot of care as she is not able to do things for herself. Thank you to those who have sent checks to Myrna's account, she appreciate your help. The money has been & will be used for Myrna's immediate medical/care needs. Please keep Myrna in your prayers.

Elvis' Grand Daughter Riley Keough as Snow White
Since "Snow White and the Huntsman" has almost nailed down its huntsman in the form of the Inglorious Basterd Michael Fassbender, the Black Listed screenplay is now in search of its Snow White. Universal had offered the role up to Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Saoirse Ronan (though they weren't on our own wishlist), but according to The Hollywood Reporter the studio has opted to go with a relatively unknown lead.
Some of the names, however are a little bit better known than others. Universal is holding screen tests with Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, who appeared opposite Stewart and Fanning earlier this year in "The Runaways." She certainly has skin as white as snow and lips as red as rose, and with some dark black hair we could totally see her in the role.
The other better-known actress from the bunch if Felicity Jones, an English actress who's currently in theaters in Julie Taymor's "The Tempest." But the other two ladies on the list, Australian star Bella Heathcoat and Swedish actress Alicia Vikander, we don't know too much about.
The gamble on this is pretty much the same as the one Disney took on Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland." They cast relative unknown Mia Wasikowska as the titular Alice, but were able to promote the movie more on the Johnny Depp and Burton collaboration. Still, the movie was one of the most profitable of the year, and Wasikowska is now a celebrated star.
But Universal told THR that they were reserving the right to continue to reach out to bigger named stars if the screen tests don't blow them away. Especially considering the fact that both Tom Hardy and Depp passed up the role of the Huntsman, they'd probably do better with an actress that audiences are somewhat familiar with. At least Charlize Theron is still on board as the evil queen Ravenna, so there is one big-league actress with the project.

Lisa Marie Is In The Studio!
Lisa Marie Presley is reportedly working on a new album. Lisa Marie Presley is in a London studio working on her third album for a possible 2011 release date. Lisa Marie Presley has also reportedly left Los Angeles for London.
Lisa Marie Presley had previously lived in Hidden Hills. But recent reports say that Presley has sold her Hidden Hills estate for $5 million to move to London for two reasons – a different lifestyle and to prepare for a new album. Presley gave birth to twin babies in 2008. Lisa Marie has two children, age 19 and 15, from Danny Keough, her first husband.
New York news claims that Presley and her family have moved to Kent. She told the Mail in 2009 that she was sick of Los Angeles, that it “gotten dramatically worse in the last five or six years, even more shallow if that’s even possible.”
Presley is said to have found happiness and inspiration with her new London surroundings. Her new home reportedly includes upwards of 90 acres of land and 11 bedrooms.
