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.

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.

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...

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...
