USA TODAY - ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A private jet once owned by Elvis Presley and featured on the National Geographic Channel is set to be auctioned after sitting on a runway in New Mexico for 30 years. The red 1962 Lockheed Jetstar, one of many owned by the King of rock ‘n’ roll, has no engines and needs a restoration of its cockpit. But Elvis designed the interior that has red velvet seats and red shag carpet. The plane had been a source of mystery in Roswell, New Mexico where it has sat largely untouched and tucked away at a small airport’s tarmac. Liveauctioneers.com, which is handling the bidding, said the jet was owned by Elvis and his father, Vernon Presley. “This jet has the potential of being fully restored, and placed on exhibit for the world to come see,” the auction website said. Photos of the plane show exterior in need of restoration and seats of the cockpit torn. Roswell International Air Center Interim Director Scott Stark said the plane is privately owned a

WREG Memphis reports two men are accused of pretending to be housekeeping staff to enter rooms at the Guest House at Graceland. Officers were called to the hotel around 6 a.m. Sunday, where a security worker relayed complaints about men entering rooms, posing as housekeeping staff.

The hotel said it is terminating its relationship with that temp agency. Police said one of the suspects had a master key card in his possession as well as stolen property.

Priscilla Presley Leaves RTL Late Night Amsterdam. Always so gracious to fans and paps! Priscilla stops to sign autographs and pose for photographs. Priscilla Presley is ONE of THE nicest celebs you will EVER meet!

Amazing interview with Chris Stapleton on Howard Stern. This won't be up long, so listen while you can! Forward to exactly 16 minutes and the interveiw is just under an hour. I think the next time Chris comes in the studio with Howard, this will go to another level. I love to hear Chris laugh, there is only one other man with a better laugh and that is Elvis Presley. Highlights for me: While talking about Chris' beard, Howard says, "In New York, people probably think you're Hasidim." Don't think Chris knew what that meant. It seemed to go over his head. But very funny! Talking about Adele covering his song, If It hadn't Been For Love, Adele's bus driver was playing Chris doing this with the Steel Drivers, and Adele heard it. She made a youtube video covering it. Chris says, This is before Adele was ADELE. Talking about being nervous at gigs, Chris says he is a little nervous now with Howard, Howard says, " I know what it is, You never

Priscilla talks about being married to Elvis, the divorce and the judge commenting it felt more like a wedding than a divorce. Shocking is one of the hosts says he never heard Elvis' song, If I Can Dream! Is that even possible? While we know If I Can Dream had a powerful meaning to Elvis, I hope new fans continue to know this and not get lost in the sales pitch of ticket sales. It's a bit confusing but Priscilla says Elvis' dream was to be in Europe with his fans who he always put first.

British-born singer-songwriter musician, and entertainer, Leo Sayer claims to have been the last person Elvis Presley spoke to. But here is a few problems: 1. Huntsville to Memphis is NOT ACROSS the bridge , it is actually 3 hours and 39 minutes away. 2. He goes on to say Elvis called him that night and said come to the house tomorrow and we'll make music, How could that be since Elvis was going on tour that day?  3. Then he goes to talk about David Foster and his WIFE GINGER ALDEN, Elvis' last girlfriend and they wanted to have dinner with him, because GINGER wanted to tell him how much speaking to him meant to Elvis and that this guy was THE LAST to speak to Elvis. He says GINGER remembers Elvis going off to bed, and he says,  of course the doctor came into it later on, but Elvis was saying, I'm going to see Leo tomorrow excited! What a load of Shite! No wonder Lorraine on ITV has the comments disabled, they must know it's shite too.  What a LIAR

Fifty years after “The King” married his queen, Elvis Presley’s wedding remains far from forgotten. Presley, then 32, married 21-year-old Priscilla Ann Beaulieu on May 1, 1967 in Las Vegas. Joan Kardashian, the aunt of Kim, Kourtney and Khloe, was the matron of honor. “Everyone was so nervous because there was so much secrecy,” she told Inside Edition. Joan Kardashian is married to the brother of the Kardashians' late father, Robert. The intimate ceremony took place May 1st 1967. It started at 9 a.m. and lasted just eight minutes inside a private suite at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. The hotel was demolished in 1998. An estimated 100 guests dined on ham, eggs, and southern fried chicken, oysters Rockefeller, roast suckling pig, poached and candied salmon, lobster, eggs mignonette and champagne. “The dress she chose was a very, very simple beaded dress,” Joan said. “It was long-sleeved and high neck. Fifty years later — it's a style that's still in f
