No plans for this holiday weekend? Bad weather stopping your BBQ? Or do you just need a good Memphis fix? Chris Herrington of The Memphis Flyer  compiled this great detailed list of movies either made in Memphis or inspired by the great city. We thought this list was too good not to share with you. 1. Mystery Train (1989) The Set-Up : Jim Jarmusch's landmark work of made-in-Memphis cinema is a triptych of interconnected stories that depict the city through the eyes of three types of outsiders: tourist (Japanese teens on a pilgrimage to Sun and Graceland), stranded traveler (an Italian widow on a layover), and immigrant (the Clash's Joe Strummer as a downbeat Brit). The Movie : Jarmusch is one of the signature American directors of the past 30 years and with its deadpan comedy, compelling structure, colorful supporting performances (Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Steve Buscemi), strong sense of place, and a connoisseur's soundtrack that insists on Memphis culture beyon...

TMZ  reports that Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalized in London Tuesday night after reportedly attempting to commit suicide by overdosing on pills in his mansion. According to U.K. paper The Sun, paramedics found 33-year-old Meyers "slumped on the floor" ... but he refused treatment for 30 minutes before cops arrived and convinced the actor to go to the hospital. Officials confirm that officers were dispatched to Meyers' home -- but would NOT say if Meyers was trying to take his own life. Meyers -- who has been in and out of rehab FIVE times -- was released from the hospital early Wednesday morning. UPDATE: A source close to Meyers tells TMZ, the actor was NOT trying to kill himself, but had fallen off the wagon.

She has vintage Priscilla Presley hair, and her clothing style is 52 years old, but "Elvis Barbie" is brand new. With her familiar posable body, Barbie is decked out in the famous gold lamé suit designed for Elvis by Hollywood tailor Nudie Cohn. It became one of Elvis' signature looks and the cover of his 1959 album 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong. Elvis later declared the suit was too hot to wear on stage and wore the jacket with black slacks. The Barbie version of Elvis is being released in early July, and Graceland has ordered 250 of the $34.95 collector dolls from toy maker Mattel. "We anticipate they will be here by the weekend, and we will immediately post on elvis.com when the shipment arrives," said Graceland spokeswoman Alicia Dean. Graceland marketing vice president Scott Williams said Elvis paid $10,000 for the gold lamé suit. The tailor, flamboyant Russian immigrant Nudie Cohn, also was widely known as tailor to singer Hank Williams, Ro...

Martha & Joe Everyone knows Joe Esposito as Elvis Presley's personal friend, best man at his wedding, and road manager. Joe is also a beloved member of our Elvis family. Joe's darling wife Martha has battled cancer. And unfortunately, it has returned. Anyone who has undergone Cancer treatments or watched a love one fight cancer knows how costly treatment can be. And much of Martha's very expensive treatments are not covered by insurance. We know what a kind, generous man Elvis Presley was, and if he was still with us, he would do anything to help Joe & Martha. So my friends, I am asking you to help in any way possible, either through prayer and positive thoughts for Joe & Martha. Or if you can, please make a donation. We have listed the link for donations below. The Talbot Family Foundation is accepting TAX DEDUCTIBLE donations for Martha's treatments. Joe is also planning an event in Vegas for Martha's treatment. Having watched my own mother battl...
