Elvis Presley will never live down his love of Peanut Butter and Banana sandwiches. I have often seen people confuse this sandwich with the Denver Fool's Gold sandwich and come up with some gross versions they swear Elvis ate. Well folks, here it is straight from Elvis' family. Jo Smith demonstrates how she personally made these infamous sandwiches for Elvis himself. And the Smith family still eats them to this day. Just look at that tummy rub and smile, Danny gives after a bite of his Momma's sandwich. I can totally see Elvis reacting that way too. If you are not yet subscribed to Danny's Memphis Mafia Kid channel, please do so! These stories are so personal, sweet and funny. Show your support by sharing the videos and subscribing to his page. You truly will LOVE these stories! You can definitely see Elvis' sense of humor, wit and warmth through his cousins.

According to TMZ , Lisa Marie is about to file a lawsuit against her former financial managers, claiming they squandered more than $100 million over 10 years, but the company says Lisa Marie is broke because she's a spendthrift. TMZ has obtained a copy of the lawsuit which could be filed as early as today. She claims financial guru Barry Siegel sold 85% of her interest in Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE) and then gave the money to Robert F.X. Sillerman as a way of ingratiating himself with the famous investor. She says the investments tanked and left her broke. Among the alleged misdeeds -- Presley says unbeknownst to her Siegel spent $9 million of her money to buy an English estate and couldn't make the balloon payment on the property.  She also says Siegel stopped paying her taxes in 2012 which left her with a tax bill of $7 million. She says as of May 30, 2016, the trust was depleted and only had $14,000 in cash and she had $500,000 in credit card debt.  We're told Sie

From 1965 to 1994, Tom Reeder , 73, worked for the Saginaw Police Department as an officer and in 1975, Reeder became a detective who frequently got assigned to be a bodyguard to high profile people and celebrities when they came to visit Saginaw. Saginaw Police Chief Bob Ruth said back in the day it was a common practice for officers to help cover events at the former Civic Center, now known as the Dow Event Center. Ruth said the practice stopped about 15 years ago when Saginaw County took over the facility, but every once in a while they'll get a call and help out. Some of the most popular names range from the 41st President George H. W. Bush, Johnny Cash, BB King, Michael Jackson, Richard Nixon, Steve Martin, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and Ronald Reagan. Reeder said he's met dozens of celebrities, but Elvis is his absolute favorite. "Oh man, yeah, and with Elvis I was there all day," Reeder said. "Two days with him on his ai

Eonline reports.... Despite reports to the contrary, Priscilla Presley has not left the Church of Scientology, her rep confirms to E! News. Over the weekend, the Daily Mail reported that the 72-year-old, who is believed to have been a member of since the death of her ex-husband Elvis Presley, told friends she had quit the controversial religion. But it appears as if the tried and true member has not gone anywhere.   Priscilla Presley's reps to People Mag A rep for the 72-year-old ex-wife of Elvis confirmed to PEOPLE on Sunday that Presley has not left the church, which she has been a member of for decades.

Only Lisa knows.  And she has never officially spoken out.  As I mentioned over the weekend, IF Priscilla were to publicly OUT herself from Scientology, she would have to alienate herself from her family, which are still in Scientology including her granddaughter, Riley Keough.  This is a close

14 year old Owen Mac is fast becoming Ireland's newest Country Music SUPERSTAR! This young man is refreshing. What a great role model for young adults. Most young men desiring a music career today, either wear their pants around their ankles and try to gain fame by behaving badly or they wear skinny jeans and rap in their songs claiming it is country. That's not the case with Owen. He truly loves Country Music! And that is very apparent in his music. He loves many Irish Country Artists such as Big Tom and Jimmy Buckley. He also loves Gene Watson . What did I tell you? Huh? This young man is not only talented, he's got good taste too! This rendition of Elvis Presley's A Fool Such As I gave me goose bumps. Owen does not try to sound like Elvis. He sings the song in his own way which is gorgeous. And let me just add, Owen sings various country songs. He is a TRUE country artist. That's hard to find these days. This young man is on his way to being a h

Darren Bagert Pulse Evolution , the digital production firm was found guilty of breach of contract on October 12, and was reportedly ordered to pay $524,196 to Tony-winning Dear Evan Hansen producer Darren Bagert. The 90-minute musical was to be centered on a lifelike hologram of Presley, which Pulse was to create . Bagert had been brought on to manage the project, which was budgeted between $15 to $25 million. He worked to build out the production's financials, hand-pick the creative team and seek investors. In exchange, Pulse was to provide Bagert "advances against a production fee tied to the budget of the show, a slice of the net profits, and 200,000 shares of its common stock." After Bagert completed his pre-production efforts, Pulse made a new partnership with American Idol creator Simon Fuller , who became Pulse's biggest shareholder and was made responsible for shepherding the Presley musical. Bagert worked on the show further on his own, but h

Fox News - Barbara Eden enchanted audiences across the country with a nod and a blink in the beloved ‘60s sitcom “I Dream of Jeannie” — and 47 years later, she’s still celebrated as a beloved TV icon. The 86-year-old was recently honored by the Library of American Broadcasting Foundation at the Giants of Broadcasting Luncheon for her decades-long career in film and television. But don’t expect Eden to sit back and enjoy her success. She has never stopped working and still headlines shows both in the United States and abroad. Simply put, this genie has been long out of the bottle and doesn’t have any plans to vanish in a cloud of smoke. Eden spoke with Fox News about her favorite memories on set, what her life is like these days. Mostly importantly, her impression of Elvis Presley after working with him on the film, Flaming Star. Fox News : You previously starred in the 1960 film ‘Flaming Star’ alongside Elvis Presley. What was your impression of Elvis? Eden : H

THR reports Apple has scrapped plans for a 10-part Elvis biopic produced by The Weinstein Co. Sources tell THR that the miniseries was one of four projects that the tech giant had in the works via a larger deal with TWC that predated the arrivals of Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht to oversee Apple's entry into high-end scripted originals. The others were said to be eight- to 10-episode minis revolving around Michael Jackson, Prince and Frank Sinatra. The Elvis project was the only one of the four that was anywhere near close to going into production. A writer and star had not been attached. The news comes a day after The Weinstein Co. co-founder Harvey Weinstein was fired from the company following allegations of decades-long sexual harassment. Elvis, first announced in September 2016, was to be produced by TWC in partnership with the estate of the late rock 'n' roll icon. The estate allowed producers access to Presley's entire music catalog and to fil

So while looking for The Presley Charitable Foundation links, I stumbled upon the above on Lisa's page. In 2012,  “Lisa Marie removed all mention of Scientology from her website , and the lyrics to some of her songs have caused major speculation that she’s cut off all communication with the church,” revealed a source. http://backinmemphis.blogspot.com/2012/05/lisa-marie-presley-betrayed-quits.html But it's there and the links go directly to Scientology:   https://www.lisamariepresley.com/philanthropy-side/cchr That link takes you directly here: CCHR was co-founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus Dr. Thomas Szasz at a time when patients were being warehoused in institutions and stripped of all constitutional, civil and human rights. http://www.cchr.org/about-us/what-is-cchr.html And from there to here: As part of their religious Code, Scientologists pledge “to expose and help abolish any and all physically damagin

The National Enquirer is reporting, The Presley Foundation , run by The King’s only child, had $26 in the bank to accomplish its mission of providing low-cost housing and helping the poor! “Elvis’ daughter has made a horrible mess of things,” snitches the informant. “She has sullied her father’s name and is destroying his charities!” In 2005, Lisa Marie sold 85 percent of her stake in Graceland and Elvis’ possessions for $100 million, but kept 15 percent of the empire. Sources say under Lisa Marie’s guidance the Presley Foundation had only $26 in cash despite $112,000 in assets, according to tax filings, while the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation had only $59,588 in the till. A rep for Lisa Marie denies any wrong doing. But the family friend insists she’s at the center of the chaos. A search for Presley Charities brings you to this page, Presley Charity Foundation which is down. The links on Lisa Marie' s page do not work either, Lisa Marie Presley - Philanthrop

Sandra Shevey interviewed Priscilla for the August 1973 issue of Ladies' Home Journal. It was the first time the magazine sold out during the month it was published and had to run a second printing. The interview Mrs Presley's was the first after the divorce proceedings had begun between her and Elvis Presley and was conducted at her apartment in Marina Del Rey.  It is unique in its simplicity and the subtext of the liberation of a child bride, married to a superstar who left her on her own for a major part of the marriage. The interview conveys a feeling of celebration as Priscilla Presley has now embarked upon a new chapter and is charting her own destiny.

WREG has confirmed that a Kentucky woman died from Legionnaires’ Disease days after staying at the Guest House at Graceland . Linda “Gail” Godsey, 62, died on June 21.

Brothers and sisters fight, we say stupid things to each other but when the smoke settles, we move on. We will always love our brothers and sisters no matter what. Lisa and Navarone are no different. But when I read these comments above about Elvis Presley fans , it made me wonder..... So much of it sounds like what many of us have been speculating about the NEW "EPE" and Weinshaky recently said similar in an interview with Variety magazine. So, my question is IF Priscilla's son feels this way and the owner of EPE feels this way, why are we still giving them our money? I think Navarone is a talented young man on his own and his words about his sister are unkind and hurtful. Especially wishing her dead. Saying it on social media and then telling people, it's none of their business is a bit hypocritical. And above all childish. But as I said, siblings fight and these two will make up and go on with life. That's what family does. So for me, that's not

Get ready folks to shell out EVEN More Money when visiting Graceland! According to The Memphis Biz Journal , " EPE is planning a permanent concert venue that would be the second-largest in Shelby County. Initial plans call for a $40 million to $50 million, 6,200-seat facility with a half-arena format and light and sound technology to host concerts, graduations and basketball tournaments. With that seat count, if it's an indoor facility, the Graceland arena would fall between the 20,000-seat FedExForum and 2,500-seat Orpheum, said Jay Campbell, a transaction law attorney and partner in charge of the Memphis office of Adams and Reese, on behalf of Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE). The outdoor Mud Island Amphitheater has about 5,000 seats. Based on conversations with LiveNation and other concert promoters, EPE estimates it can bring at least 50 events each year to the new venue. When EPE approached the Memphis City Council in 2014 about transforming its campus (
