Linda Thompson was out to dinner @ Mr Chow's in Beverly Hills last week, when a pap for TMZ asked her about Elvis. She was first asked what her fondest memory of Elvis was, to which she answered, "his generosity, he was just a good, kind person. That was the big stand out feature. And he had a great sense of humor as well. And he was kinda talented." Another pap then asked, out of all of your lovers, where does he rank? She says, "Where do you think?" she coyly laughs. The pap then asks, can you talk about that with us? Linda then playfully says, "What do you mean? All my lovers? I'm a good girl! I could count on one hand here." The pap then says, "Of all yours lovers, how was he in bed?" To which Linda replies, " Let's just say he was the king in more ways than just Rock & Roll!"

The Elvis Presley Birthplace in Tupelo is gearing up for a birthday celebration. On Sunday, Elvis would have been 77 years old. Birthplace Executive Director Dick Guyton says the public is encouraged to attend the birthday party which will be held at 2 p.m. where the gift shop is located. They plan to sing "Happy Birthday" and serve cake and punch. Guyton says this annual event would have made Elvis proud. "I know there are other birthday parties in our community as well as Graceland is having one on Sunday and they're important as well, but the fact that the birthplace as a birthday party-that's key," Guyton said. Guyton says guests will find out about a new offering at the birthplace. They are now offering a new ticket which is an annual pass. For one fee, six people can visit the attraction six times a year.

Year of Elvis - EPE pulls out stops for 35th anniversary of singer’s death Visitors line up to visit the Lisa Marie airplane at Graceland last week. The 35th anniversary of Elvis’ death comes in August 2012 and it’s going to be a big year for Graceland.  “Obviously this is an Elvis Week times two,” Kern said. The New Year promises to be bigger and busier for Graceland, one of Tennessee’s largest tourist attractions, averaging 600,000 visitors annually, but which can see those numbers escalate during a major anniversary year. During Elvis Week alone in 2007 – the 30th anniversary of Presley’s death – Graceland saw 75,000 visitors. With such high expectations, Kern said, the planning for the 2012 festivities began two years ago. “We traditionally have music events at the Orpheum or the Cannon Center, but this year they’ll be at the FedExForum, that’s the size and scope of a major anniversary year for us.” “When you get to that milestone date, it becomes bigger,” said Wayne ...
