Priscilla Presley is NOT dating Tom Jones

Image
Rumors have been swirling about Priscilla Presley dating Tom Jones since they were seen arriving together at Craig's in West Hollywood . The two arrived together which started the rumor. Anyone who knows ANYTHING about Priscilla, knows how PRIVATE she is . So if she was "dating" Tom Jones , they would not go to Craig's , a paparazzi favorite spot. That is just NOT Priscilla' s style. The two were there for a private party that included many in the music business. And Priscilla's best pal and Elvis' friend, Jerry Schilling was there with Cilla. We all know Priscilla never liked an entourage with Elvis so she would NOT want it if she was dating Jones. Watch the video below and see them all leave, as Priscilla and Tom get in the back, Jerry gets in the front of the Rolls Royce. This is NOT a date!

Nixon Tricked Elvis into Thinking the President Had Made Him a Federal Agent

People Magazine The King wore a purple velvet suit ,   (jacket was deep purple ONLY, the rest was BLACK ), a massive gold belt buckle and came bearing a pistol, framed in a display case, when he visited the White House on Dec. 21, 1970, hoping to meet President Richard Nixon. ( It was 1971, NOT POST 9-11). The famous encounter, the subject of a new  sh*t movie , Elvis & Nixon, starring Kevin Spacey and Michael Shannon, has long been one of the most bizarre   (There's that Buzz word again, Elvis fans!)  chapters in presidential history. More than 45 years later, a new book by former White House Secret Service agent Clint Hill, about his years serving Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford, describes the memorable moment when Elvis Presley arrived at the northwest gate of the White House. Hill, 84, thought he'd heard it all until he got a call that day from his administrative assistant. "Clint, you're never going to believe what just happene...

Here's what the press took away from Ugly Elvis, Elvis and Nixon and what the general public will read about Elvis. I am so hurt for Elvis by this. Most Critics call Jerry's character, DULL. Elvis was traveling with some guns and his collection of police badges , and he decided that what he really wanted was a badge from the federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs back in Washington. "The narc badge represented some kind of ultimate power to him," Priscilla Presley would write in her memoir, Elvis and Me. "With the federal narcotics badge, he [believed he] could legally enter any country both wearing guns and carrying any drugs he wished." Arrayed in a purple velvet suit with a huge gold belt buckle and amber sunglasses, Elvis came bearing a gift—a Colt .45 pistol mounted in a display case that Elvis had plucked off the wall of his Los Angeles mansion. In 1988, years after Nixon resigned and Elvis died of a drug overdose , a Chicago newspa...

Actors everywhere rejoice about Elvis and Nixon film - this fan not so much!

Here is a bit of an article from Newsweek  which I feel the need to challenge. Who wore it best? Newsweek :  The hair is immediately recognizable, the outfit unmistakable: It’s Elvis—except he’s taller, skinnier and looks nothing like the King. BIM :  Really? REALLY? Taller and skinnier? Let's remember Elvis has a coat wrapped around his shoulders in the photos.Outfit unmistakable? Come on.....MS is wearing a typical ETA outfit while Elvis is decked out! I do agree MS looks NOTHING like Elvis. NOTHING! One of the LEAST attractive actors to play the MOST HANDSOME MAN EVER????? While Magic Mike HUNK plays Jerry? Read on for the media spin.....Don't be fooled! Newsweek :  When Michael Shannon signed on to star in Elvis & Nixon, he was “not a huge Elvis Presley aficionado.” The actor, known for his creepily intense portrayals in theater (Bug), television (Boardwalk Empire) and movies (Revolutionary Road), admits he isn’t great at mimicry, and...
